That laugh at the end was unscripted. Gene got him to break character and the sweet old Jew left it in the film.

Is that really what happened? I always felt like that was adlibbed by Gene judging by the genuine laugh it got.

You damn well might be correct.

You can tell he's trying to hold it together the entire time.

Wilder's delivery was always fucking amazing

Ol' Gramma Cumia.

I'm sure "Up yours, nigger" would have no trouble getting into a film today.

RIP

How bout a good ol'nigger work song.

The new "that guy" thing to say is "DUUUDE, Blazing Saddles would NEVER get made today..."

Holy FUCK, we heard you. We got it. And they've been saying that since 1983. Yes it would, all kinds of controversial stuff gets made and always will get made. If it's as funny and as original as Blazing Saddles, it will catch on no matter what. That's how entertainment has worked for 100 years.
