I am going to be greatly in the minority here. I sheepishly admit to having seen this in 1974 and not once since until last night. I had very high expectations and remembered some funny things about it, but the funny things that I remembered are nearly all that still seem humorous to me. This was bold and brave, politically incorrect and outrageous 49 years ago, but many of the jokes Are very dated and almost not a bit of it is particularly outrageous today. It has a well known cast of comedians from that era and they are all doing their familiar shtick that is now more nostalgic than funny, though I did smile a lot for a while. This is a comedy classic, but for me, it no longer works all that well. Mel Brooks is a funny guy and made some very good movies, particularly young Frankenstein, put much of the humor here is from the Catskills days. It certainly had its moment in time, but sad to say, the sun has set on this somewhat.
