Mel Brooks taught me my viewpoint of life. What if life is a comedy, and some of us just are not very good comedic actors? Have fun. PLAY as an adult. Find the humor in everything. Learn to laugh at yourself especially. It makes living a much more enjoyable and entertaining ride to yourself and others.
ThankYouForYourTime
#4 I bet whatever time these men were together for this picture was one of the most hilarious moments in world history

Centenerians always mess me up. Brooks was already a teenager when Germany invaded Poland.

In tragic news, Mel Brooks was recently taken to the hospital while having a stroke.
Upon arrival, he said, "What, you never seen a 99 year old man have a wank?!"

I obviously know this is going to be an unpopular opinion and going to be downvoted to hell and as much as I respect him for all he's done, I've never found one thing Mel has done funny. It's just such childish garbage. Go ahead, kill me.

It's a completely valid personal reaction. There are several major "funny men" and I see NOTHING they do as funny. Jack Black - Adam Sandler- Ben Stiller for instance.

Thank you!

*However, Ben Stiller in "Heartbreak Kid" is pretty funny.

Lets see if he makes it to the Spaceballs The Sequel premiere

A sinking tide beaches all boats in the harbor.
And a certain group of people have not only bought bigger ships with their spoils, they've moved beyond the harbor while telling everyone in the harbor to stay there as the tide is actually rising, not falling. That's the gist of the insanity we're seeing.
