The Life of Brian


He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy


Question Author

Ouch Danny my face is hurting the way you just bitch slapped me. Was gonna put up a fight but thought better of it.

I was brought up on Spaceballs so i would say that's funnier than Blazing Saddles.

"Damn, i hate it when i get my Schwartz twisted"!

Mel Brooks, you do make some funny stuff.

Except the line "Badges? We ain't got no badges! We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges!" is originally from the 1935 Treasure of the Sierra Madre, starring Humphrey Bogart... Some other lines stolen from Mr. Bogart's movie are:


"Wizards and Warriors" (1983) -- "Badgers? Badgers? You don't need no stinking badgers. You need knives."


"O.C. and Stiggs" (1986) -- "Badges? We don't need no stinking badges! We got souvenirs!"


"3rd Rock From the Sun" (1998) -- "Bagels? Bagels? We don't need no stinking bagels!"

I could name at least 50. A small selection:


This Is Spinal Tap, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, Airplane!, The Naked Gun, Anchorman, Team America:World Police, South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, Some Like it Hot, The Odd Couple, Withnail and I, Clerks, Annie Hall.

Airplane!


Check the clearance Clarence. Roger, Roger, What's the vector Victor.

gotta be Spinal Tap, Duck Soup or Annie Hall, depending what sort of mood you're in (prog rock, zany or wistful).

Don't start me thinking about Airplane! I'll never do any work.


I can tell you a story about "Stinking Badges". My mate was called into a meeting with some others to discuss some public relations ideas, during which name badges were mentioned. He said, without thinking, "Badges? Badges? We don't need no stinking badges! At which point everyone turned and looked at him in a hostile manner. Clearly, none of them had ever heard the line and just thought he had flipped or was being totally negative to the management backed initiative. The whole atmosphere of the place changed. He managed to last about another 4 weeks but had to leave for his own peace of mind and the greater good of everybody.


See No Evil Hear No Evil..."Fuzzy Wuzzy was a woman"

Blazing Saddles, The Life of Brian and See No Evil Hear No Evil are/is my Holy Trinity.


There are also Young Frankenstein, The Producers, Some Like It Hot, Arthur, Tootsie. I grew up watching Charlie Chaplin and strangely enough Louis de Fun�s. And being originally from Russia I love Russian comedies.


S.

Just another vote for Spinal Tap


"This goes up to eleven"

Airplane

By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

Airplane.


"we've got to get this woman to a hospital."


"What is it?"


"It's a big building where lots of sick people go."

don`t call me shirley

Some brill examples, but why has no one mentioned Johnny Dangerously?


Girl:"I'm a true blonde Johnny"


Johnny:"I'll check it out Thursday".


And the Italian-American murdering the English language:


"Ok, you and the rest of your bastidges can play cards but don't try no fargin tricks otherwise you end wid you bells in a sling". Genius.

Monty Python And The Holy Grail ''Your father was a hamster and your mother smells of elderberries!!''

Can't remember which Bob Hope film it was but the a woman has just collapsed in a heap on the floor before she was due to go on stage. A woman says 'Has she fainted?' and Bob Hope pipes up 'No. Her make up's too heavy'. Class.


Also: Some Like it Hot and who can forget The Three Amigos!


" Would you say I have a plethora of sweaters?"
