Throw out your hands!
Stick out your tush!
Hands on your hips,
Give them a push!
You'll be surprised
You're doing the French Mistake!
VOILA!

Sorry but this is the Spanish Inquisition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVoOpJO6H_g


And though I do not care for Brooks' later films at all (*cough*Robin Hood*cough*) I love love love his three greatest and most nutty films: Blazing Saddles, The Producers and Young Frankenstein. The guy was epic.

I don't find Brooks funny at all

I think he's built specifically for an American audience

none of his comedies are much loved over here.

Mel Brooks was the supreme comedian of his age. Neil Simon and Woody Allen were left in his dust.
