Do you reckon Obama whispered into Mel's ear later "so, when are you gonna make History of the World, Part Two?"

Why doesn't anyone mention a world famous mime has the only speaking line in that movie?

Such virtue, such compassion

The man is the worst I wouldn't even classify him as human being. He has for a long time spat nothing but vitriol and lies.
Gen16S5
Yes he says what you don’t want to hear and therefore must die
AWarningToOthers
He is everything that is wrong with what is going on. He dose it all for his one self grandstanding. The personification of hate.
AWarningToOthers
Like I said I do not normally wish malice on others but but I see this as karma coming back on him and I want it to be to the fullest.
burningitchyrash
I remember an interviewer asking him about how, being Jewish, he could make so many jokes about Hitler. His response was something like 1/2
burningitchyrash
2/2 "I think it would piss Hitler off to no end knowing a Jew is getting rich making people laugh at him". THAT is a next level burn..

"I get off work after we shoot the bunker scene" subtle joke in Blazing Saddles so appreciated

had to watch a few times - he knelt because he was joking about the award's weight. I thought he was joking bout giving 'Bamers a bj >_>

I’m glad to say it’s the one thing the internet didn’t do to me.

I think he pretended to "Pants" the president, where you grab someone's pants and whip them down to expose their undies, as a practical joke
ghostlyTrickster
Thanl you for this apt description of pantsing

I thought he was doing a curtsy.

why not all three? it's Mel Brooks. his jokes are usually layered

To young for Nixon. Do you prefer our current situation and the possibility of it going on for another 4 years?

Doesn’t bother me I’m in Australia, I just feel sorry for all of you over there, but I think a few of you would even prefer Johnson

Ohhh yeah I heard stuff about your PM. Maybe we can put them both on the same small unmarked island in the Pacific.

If Mel Brooks made Blazing Saddles today, the overly sensitive people who endorse cancel culture would have his head.

If people don't make offensive movies anymore then how does Mark Wahlberg keep getting movies made?
StewedTomaters
Because he's Mark Wahlberg and he makes burgers now instead of throwing rocks at black people and knocking Asian-Americans unconscious with

a stick, and never acknowledging the racial nature of his crimes. People love burgers.

Really that's an opinion, but I get the context of your gif.

See, that's the thing. It wasn't made today. It was made in 1974. This is hyperbolic of me, and I'm not comparing the two, but: The Birth of
StewedTomaters
a Nation was a groundbreaking film in cinematic history. It was also about the KKK. You can appreciate works of art as long as you can
StewedTomaters
acknowledge that it's a film of its time. Blazing Saddles is great, but it's an artifact of its time. Saying "if this film was made today"
StewedTomaters
is pointless. They wouldn't have made The Honeymooners in 2020 with Ralph Kramden threatening to beat his wife every ep, but you can still
StewedTomaters
appreciate its place in comedic history.
25schmeckles
I recently saw some of those movies for the first time. The “it’s good to be king” line gave me such uncomfortable feelings.
grahmit12
The only people that say this are the people that think saying the n-word was the joke.
SomethingOffensive
No. Mel Brooks is under fire today because of this movie.
MostlyDinosaurs
He could, it would be different. The right topical comedy comes from context. There’s black face in 30 Rock, Always Sunny or Tropic thunder
SomethingOffensive
Jimmy Fallon did black face 15 years ago with a good Chris Rock impersonation and Kimmel did a good Karl Malone and both are under fire now.
Jimoar
It was only a couple weeks ago ppl were pissed RDJ for tropic thunder. Last week had calls to remove blazing saddles from services too.

I just learned that his son, Max Brooks, is the author of World War Z. Small world, huh?

Nepotism, huh? I'm saying that in a neutral tone here. :D
gunshowzero
Have you read the book?
sassort5
No I havent.
hesbeginningtobelieve
Well, no. Big world. If he wasn’t Mel Brooks son, success would have been much more difficult.
razorgirl1066
I didn't realize he was Mel Brooks' son until well after I read the book.
LuminousExpanse
damn good book too
lordmaxwell
I et him during a zombie themed event at SWOSU. Humble and good man. Shared stories about his dad, and turns out the apple didn't fall far.
monkeyshines
He just wrote a new book this month about Bigfoot.

TosokTheRodentHunter
World war Z should have been a series. Each chapter an episode. The movie was nothing like the book
usedpatiofurniture
I didn't really enjoy the book but I definitely agree with this
BabeAfett
The audio book fulfills that for me. Its such an amazing cast that narrates.
TosokTheRodentHunter
Thank you for the recommendation!
bloodtaker3
He also has become a leading expert on pandemics. And public speaker
Northernwest
He also wrote the first official Minecraft novel. It was really good. My son still talks about it.
krillin123499
Guess great movies don't run in the family
3RsReadingRitingRithmatic
Great book! Iirc it had an example of the true definition of decimation. I think it was the Russia stories.
BabeAfett
Yep
briham86
His new book, Devolution, just came out. It’s about Bigfoot.
nicmccool
He has a book about Minecraft as well!
briham86
Never played. Would the book still be enjoyable to someone like me?
SkunkMom
Oh thats super cool!
benfinklea
I didn’t realize Obama even had a son.
JaketheLate
Cool fact! Max Brooks wrote World War Z after his psychiatrist suggested he do so to help him deal with his phobia about zombies. It's why 1
SkunkMom
That's so neat!
JaketheLate
The book is so terrifying, because it was written from a place of genuine fear.
Danack
Wow. I should probably write "World war asking girls out."
JaketheLate
Think you found the name of your autobiography, friend.
CodeChimpin
I have his book, which is a handbook on surviving the zombie apocalypse
Allthegoodnamesweretakenbeckygod
Also the zombie survival guide
zeiji
it's so funny.
DontLookBackInAnger
The book was amazing, the movie not so much.
GrouchyOscar
Plan B ruined it. The original screenplay was the same as the book. They completely rewrote it because PeOpLE nEEd iT To bE oNE LiNeaR SToRy
DonteHaversham
I haven't read the book, but I liked the movie. After reading some of these comments though, the book is on my list
GodEmperorOfImgur
The zombies are slow in the book, and it's written as an anthology AFTER WWZ, just a collection of survivor stories.
GrouchyOscar
To embellish, Brad Pitt’s character is the author of the WWZ encyclopedia and is going around collecting the stories from survivors.
markmcn87
The movie would've been a decent zombie movie if they just changed the name. But as an adaption.....nyeeeah
FlyingGiantElk
Adaptations are often disappointing. Sad but true, I’m afraid.
noraaselim
It’s not based on the book at all other than “zombies”.
ccman87
Which is sad because the Battle of Yonkers would have been cool to see
AShartInTheWind
They should have made it in a documentary style where it showed the interviews with the survivors and then the zombies appeared in a series-
AShartInTheWind
-of flashbacks. It would have maintained the original format of the book and still been good.
PoppinLochNessHopster
I've never in my life seen a movie with more plot holes, deus ex machina, bad writing. I was honestly in shock.
Insanemonki0
This is the only thing that makes me go on a full on rant. The book was AMAZING. The movie had nothing to do with it. Nothing
GodEmperorOfImgur
I mean... they both had zombies, they were different kinds of zombies tho.. so yeah, you're right.
Finduses
World War z is a terrifying book, I had to stop reading it.
AlmightyVerb
I actually read it every year or two, it reminds me that humanity is pretty resilient in the big picture. Helps in a weird way.
WehWehWeh
It felt too accurate to me. Like it was something that actually happened. Super well done.
Lobangpuki
It really did happen, but does repooplicans called it just a flu.
Selerox
Very much agreed.
GriffinMann41
Yeah, I'm gonna have to hard-disagree with you there lmao
Selerox
It's arguably the single most *plausible* horror book I've ever read.
Ruhig
I remember reading it, and thinking it was implausible that the government response to something so severe would be so inept. Turns out...
furrybrick
Awesome book
Obits
If you haven't heard the (full cast) audiobook, you're missing out.
ImgurMadeMeChangeMyNameCauseItsDumb
It's the one I usually suggest to people who are looking to get into audio books.

Sauce please?
FoolishDoughnut
Full cast was available on Audible about a year or so ago. I used to listen while driving long distances. Scary as hell.
Royalflush908
I would guess audible. Most popular audiobooks have some representation there. Check your library's audiobooks too on Libby or overdrive.

If available that is.

It changed my outlook on the world quite a bit. This pandemic has proved some bits correct, like the disruption of international trade

As some have said you always have the feeling of this being kind of plausible, it isn't overly fancy or fantastical.

excellent. i’ve been looking for a good book.
RancidOrange
Listening to it via Audible - it’s my current read.
Exousa
Would've been best as an HBO miniseries, but that would've made it too similar to the walking dead.

In the walking dead there is no hope.. world war Z has hope in it.
chinaPieCreator
I was thinking of getting it, only heard about it recently, bit out of touch down here, would you recommend it though?
TheStargateIsReal
Yes just don’t think you can watch the movie instead. Read the book
OurLordAndSaviourHarambe
Don't read the audiobook either because they shorten a few really good chapters

Yes, it‘s one of the best written books ever. Forget the movie it‘s nothing like the book.

I disagree. It was a decent movie. It was a pretty poor adaptation, but as far as zombie movies go, it was nice.
