Blazing Saddles Can't you see

[Steez51]

Why on Earth is anyone thinking that the word is nit? Do you not get the gist of the film? Mel Brooks should be sainted for this product. Truly one of the greatest comedy films in the history

of celluloid moving image reproduction

[Suitsnappy]

What's up my ni? {{-_-}}

[jasobres]

This is the only time in the movie where Heddy...I mean Hedley Lamarr is referred to by his first name correctly.

[Tuttermuts]

Can't you see he's a knight who says "NI!" ?

[soulsurvivor2001]

I love Mel Brooks...BTW Richard PRYOR helped him write this script! Can't you see the man is a "Ni !"

[NiScontex]

we are the knights who say NI!

[NiScontex]

we are the knight who say NI!

[BobLeKatt]

negroes => crime

Look at any section 8 apt complex.

[carrotjuse]

@BobLeKatt  caucasians = crime

Look at Wall Street or the Bush administration.

[Dbene]

no hebber...you are wrong....the joke is he says "nit" as in "nitwit".......because the viewer thought Lepetomaigne was a racist.



[tnekkc]

Obama administration has cleaned out the FBI website stats on crime by race.

Half the violent crime is committed by black males.

Half the violent crime is committed by white males.

52% of the violent crime committed by black males is against whites.

2% of the violent crime committed by white males is against blacks.

Eric Holder has told us that voting rights laws are not to protect whites from blacks, but only to protect blacks from whites.

[carrotjuse]

@tnekkc And how, in your mind, does that relate to the movie, Blazing Saddles?

[tnekkc]

@carrotjuse

The movie takes the liberal point of view of Negro worship.

[carrotjuse]

@tnekkc Sorry. I thought I was conversing with someone who was rational. My mistake.

[tnekkc]

@carrotjuse

The way to spot a liberal vs a conservative, is to look for how decisions are made in the job the have chosen.

If the decisions are made based on aesthetics, they are a liberal.

If the decisions are made based on math or reality, they are conservative.

There may be some conservative dance choreographers, but they are extremely rare.

There may be some liberal machinists, but they are extremely rare.

Another way to spot liberals is Negro worship. Black panther crime is a litmus test

[strack9421]

some of the people on the comments of this video are ....you know... morons

[carrotjuse]

@strack9421 Aren't they? Note the above nut, tnekkc.

[Jaqshit]

the only problem, what's a ni?

[ryan49er1]

the joke here was that after he said ni and caught himself talking to the cleavon...he pulls harvey over and we (the audience) are expecting him the say the full N word but he still says ni...simple!!!

[ThaddeusRobe]

@ryan49er1 he say's "nit" the second time

[MakesMeAngry]

"No offense intended." LOL!



[elmoder87]

man I’m black but I will get that movie for sure! That’s so funny I’m laughing my ass off hahaahah… You know 3 years ago I watched the movie “Reign Over Me” with Don Cheadle and Adam Sandler. I was trying to find the part “The sheriff is a nigger” when they were in the movie theater. A few minutes ago, I just watched that part and it’s so fucking funny lol!

[corrina253]

Can't you see that that man is a ni—?

[ArmPump]

Same "ni" as the "Nights of Ni" from the "holy Grail".

[MrPrisoner24601]

@heyitsmejacob

Erm no he wasn't going to say "nit" because that would be a joke at all. He intended to say "ni" all along. The fact that some people are watching this movie and not understanding the jokes pisses me off.

Awesome movie, funny every single time.

[jumpdance24]

@MrPrisoner24601

I agree, also 50% of people who watched the movie have no understaning of maths, the other 62% are totally ingorant.

[Pahina22]

@MrPrisoner24601 If this particular part of the movie is "so simple" then why dont you explain why this happens for all of us.

[cksmith08]

'Have you gone beserk? Can't you see that that man is a ni-'

[MrStiggy73]

funniest film of all time

[Logie1973]

now your president is a ni???? lol

[Theburn77]

great movie

[BuggritHall]

How on earth anyone can say that one of the best films of all time is deliberately racist and offensive are idiots. The sort of people who are offeneded by Blazing Saddles are the actual people who the irony is aimed at.

Whoever said yanks don't get irony are pretty accurate on this score.

[Xabulove]

GOV

[BlackpeopleLOL]

Can't you see, the president is a ni?

[Khazar01]

I'm not from the US so i don't really understand what's the deal with everyone that finds themselfs offended by this sort of thing, but i guess freedom of speech is not to be taken literally...

[bobcat188]

For all you politically correct bleeding hearts that are offended by the racism of this movie; try to keep in mind that it was written by Richard Pryor, who had in fact intended to play Bart.

[Cloud6556]

Its just making fun of racism in western movies, theres nothing malicious to it.

[ObSunVid]

Pryor wrote the "Mongo" parts.

[Thefog666]

hahaha 'Cant you see that man is a Ni' haaha

[1049TheNewEdge]

Whoever looks at this movie for the wrong reasons, a la "Nit, Ni, Nig" Its fucking funny period. Take the stick out of your ass and enjoy a movie made by someone who had the balls to call it out into the mainstream.

[OnlyAPawn1970]

Also,people-remember all the white folks were named Johnson(inbreds)and complete morons.I miss the days before this pussy-ass political correctness.Everyone now is so goddamn sensitive.Life's too short to pretend,liberals.

[jhow691]

ppl don't understand irony now, that's why ppl don't get the joke now

[gronlaf]

MEL WAS COMIC A GENIUS PERIOD

[Dicalit]

The funny thing isn't that he is saying ni, nit or nig ( what ever), BUT that he repeates it, in front of Hedly.

[canman87]

Exactly.

[AustinSwill]

@Dicalit .... wow... no... The funny thing about it is that he starts to say "nit" the first time. He stops himself when he sees he is talking to Bart.... The VIEWER assumes he was going to say nigger. When he grabs Headly he says nit just like he was going to the first time.

[Sirthatguy]

@AustinSwill You're saying it as if it were a sure thing, please show me something where an original cast member or Mel himself says it's supposed to be Nit. Because typing it either ni or nit gives off many results, none of them truly reliable.

[RobinPillage]

The Gov said "Nig" And so what if he did. Why can't the so-called enlightened liberals ever laugh at themselves?....Don't be so negrocious.

[BriH20x5]

y the hell does it matter whether he said ni, nit, or nig, either way its funny so stop arguing about it

[HugoRune1976]

You are all wrong.

He grabs the sherrif "this man is a ni......." realises his mistake and uses the word nit to cover his faux pas.

[ronpauldroolz]

nope. It's only funny cuz he WASN'T going to say it, but you thought he WAS. He has no reason to "cover" by saying "nit" to Headly when he's already out of earshot.

How can you not get the joke?

[XiahgoSQUEE]

Yupp. Ahahaha

[YepOkay]

Ha, no kidding. I glanced at the comments for this great clip and was surprised to see an in depth debate about the joke.

[oscarshapely]

It's a very very quiet T but he says "nit" - otherwise it's just not a joke.

[hebber1961]

are you people dense? he's saying "NI". as in cutting himself short of saying nigger. the joke is that he repeats "ni" as if it's a word he meant to say all along.

tune in tomorrow & i'll explain how putting one foot in front of another repeated is called walking.

[LadyBeth24]

@hebber1961 that was a good one...hahaha

[MarcianoMMA]

@hebber1961 lmao

[Mrkti]

@hebber1961 we 've been waiting for, like, a year. when are you going to do that?

[hebber1961]

@Mrkti ya... i haven't quite figured the best way to do that on the computer.

[Mrkti]

@hebber1961 i was joking, genius

[hebber1961]

@Mrkti no shit. so was I.

[AustinSwill]

@hebber1961 no.... he says "Ni..." the first time and the second he says "Nit" as if he was going to say NIT the first time as well... the funny part is that THE VIEWER assumes he was going to say "nigger". This whole movie is a satire on racism and this is just one brilliant example.

What do you call a Black man flying an airplane? ---------------------------- a. a PILOT you racist!

[hebber1961]

@AustinSwill perhaps people are hearing "nit" because the audio is flawed at that moment. there is no reason for him to say "nit". nit isn't short for anything pertinent to the conversation. it's "ni". i'll go to my grave on that. in fact... i'll have "IT'S NI" inscribed on my headstone.

[AustinSwill]

@hebber1961 There is only 1 reason for him to say "nit" and the reason is that NIT is a word... an insulting word... Ni is neither an insult nor a word, therefore he has no reason to say it. Why in hell would he make a noise that isn't a word? I swear to god some of you tards are completely clueless.

[treysmithorama]

@AustinSwill Trolling skill, well played.



[corncat]

@hebber1961 - He's actually saying **nit** because that was the word he was going to say all along **that** is the joke. He made you think he was going to say N***er. (Hint: He's not going to chnage it to avoid offending Hedley. Cheez.)

[TheTallnative1]

@hebber1961 did u really have to explain that?

[hebber1961]

@TheTallnative1 Yes. did you read all the posts thinking he says "nit"? It makes no sense to say nit. You'ed think it's obvious but apparently not.

[uberwench7]

We are the Knights that say 'Ni'! Oh ignore me, I am just free associating

[JackDaniels267]

He said "NI.." Not "NIG.." or NIT.."  RIP Hedley Lamarr (AKA Harvey Korman.) Top performance.

[Netty07]

Does 'NI' mean something or was he does generally being racist?

[Minshimasan]

The governor was saying Nit - an old school word for nigger.

[leafia6]

What's a nit?

[reed5000]

he said "a nig" u imps

[leafia6]

Oh well my mistake.

[reed5000]

its ok, great movie anyhows :) another mel brooks classic

[leafia6]

Shame there will probably never be any other movies like this.

[thenthelightningwill]

Who knew back then that Mel Brooks had produced a documentary about the 2008 Republican preznitial campaign?

~

[balkthor]

Always fun to look up any random clip from Blazing Saddles and watch all the QQ about how Mel Brooks is a complete bigot, racist, blah blah. (Of course, they refuse to mention his jokes aimed at the Jewish community.)

My brother in law is black. The first time I met him (and subsequently the first bonding experience we had) involved grabbing a few beers and laughing our asses off watching this movie.

Some people 1) don't recognize satire and 2) love to complain and call the racist card.

[jim40135]

"GOV"

I love that.

[Jarrett4u]

George w what??? its a funny clip from a funny movie. stop over-examining

[questor44]

1st time, "have you gone berserk, cant you see that that man is a Ni..."

2nd time talking to correct person "that man is a Nit ". lol.

haha he wasnt even gonna say what everyone expected him to say. The look on his face too when he realises he got the wrong person is genius. One of the funniest films Ive seen.

[thenthelightningwill]

Welcome to Republican Campaign 2008.

Who knew Blazing Saddles was a documentary?

~

[kfcguru770]

I would bet that if this movie were created today it would be widely viewed as racist trash. There would be massive protests, boycots, etcetera, being led by the likes of the Reverands Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton (who, in my view, would not be worthy to wash MLK, Jr.'s car). If you admitted that you liked the movie, you would be viewed as racist and shunned by society, all in the name of political correctness (pushed, I might add by the Liberals).

[kfcguru770]

Also, please to use liberal and conservative, instead of Republican and Democrat, as there are major differences in party and viewpoint. I, for instance, am a Republican, but I tend to be more liberal liberal on just about every social issue except gun control and political correctness.

[kfcguru770]

Sorry about the "please to" it was a typo.

[MattG419]

I dont think it would be viewed as racist. If they don't view the old one as rascist, they wouldn't find a remake, or possible broadway version under Brook's name racist.

[alchemystik]

They're not " Spooks "! They're people, and deserve the same respect as you; actually, more than you, as you are a narrow minded bigot. Grow up and stop the hate!

[kdraper2007]

you only deserve the respect you give to others.

[LCC83]

I bet they had all kinds of fun making this film. This is my kind of movie. LOL

[kingjohn66]

Man David Patterson played an awsome governer in this movie. i think this is what helped him become ny's governer.

[segman12345]

That was Mel Brooks playing the Gov

[kingjohn66]

I know, it was a joke.

[balletXoxO13]

dumass

[ovieheap]

"Now I would Angrily like to argue That the Republicans hurt blacks more than they help"

Ever heard of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in 1865.

Abraham Lincoln was a Republican.

[nonconformist12]

True, but one must acknowledge that the Republican Party of then and today are two radically different beasts.

[mabstoaguy]

I don't acknowledge that. In fact, throughout history Democrats have been more racist than Republicans. You can see it now with Hillary vs. Obama. Fellow Democrats are targeting Obama on race, not Republicans.

[ottoskidoo]

Tell that to the good Christians at Bob Jones University, where you're not allowed to date outside your white color. Where George Bush spoke in 2000. Not racist at all.

[lameuser1]

Have you even read the Proclamation? It only freed the slaves in the southern states. Also, the civil war started in '61. Why wait two years? Dumbass.

Also, Lincoln's plan was to ship all the spookes back to africa because he didn't believe they were citizens. He also thought they had smaller brains and were inferior to white people.

Yeah, he's your typical republican alright...

Lrn2history.

[ballantrae101]

first of all, it's "spooks" not "spookes". You know, you are too fucking stupid to even be a good racist.

[Amann0407]

it isnt racist at all, this movie is funny as hell! :D Mel brooks is a frigging genius! I mean come on, the guy pokes fun at everything! Who cares about political correctness. Problem with today's society is that we are so afraid to slur or say something and then go "OMG!"

[hench1985]

you're right, it's not like mel brooks hasn't received any slurs of his own, I mean he is jewish, it's not like he has not received any racism.

[emk3191]

This movie is far from racist! Mel Brooks has said that this movie is a response to racists at the time. This movie shows the total ignorancy and idiocracy of racists by portraying the racists as dumb rednecks.

[hench1985]

youre right it is not racist. I mean Mel Brooks is Jewish, and he probably knows a thing about racism. Heck, Richard Pryor helped write the screenplay.  this movie is not racist at all.

[A1l2l2e2n4]

In my opinion, this video cut off at precisely the point. (This is coming from someone who saw the movie.)

[mindstorms30]

"have you gone berzerk, can't you see that man is a ni"x2 lolol

[ruleta74835]

a NIT! Brilliant line! :) :) :)

[captain07234]

He is like President Bush. Someone actually told me this movie was racist, how can it be racist when the black guy is smarter than all the white people?

[Eluzara]

yeah, the whole point of this movie is to poke fun at racist!

[ShiningPie]

That man is so President bush...

[johnow7]

In the early 70's Bush did volunteer work at a community center in Texas. While there he became close to a young black child. He used to carry the kid around on his shoulders. He also appointed more minorities to high level cabinet positions than Pres. Clinton.

The Pres. also reads about 87 books a year (and no not kid's books.

I guess Obama's call to end divisiveness does not include you guys labeling all Republicans as evil, racist, and/or stupid.

I am black if it matters any.

[sn1zzo]

So you're a black republican? I want to make sure of this before I continue on with what I have to say about the republican party and what THEY HAVE DONE To help out your "Fellow" Black people. Although I'm sure you don't consider us your people if you are in fact a black republican.

[johnow7]

Your last sentence speaks volumes. I guess any black straying from a certain political orthodoxy must be self hating. Without evidence you assume I hate my own race. If true then anything I say should be viewed as the rantings of a mentally ill person. Why bother talking to me? And don't bother with your list of Republican negatives concerning blacks. That's usless. I could offer a competing list of Democrat negatives and each of us would discount almost everything on the other's list.

[sn1zzo]

Well I must say I appreciate the level of intelligence you answered my question with. On this site that is very rare. On that note you agreed that we would both have are pros/cons about each others party. Now I would Angrily like to argue That the Republicans hurt blacks more than they help, but you're right. We'd both have our points & in the end just be mad and accomplish nothing. So I'll just say I believe you to be wrong sir, but I agree to disagree.

[utep43]

Johnow7 Your a smart guy. I hate how people think if your a black guy and your not a democrate then your a traitor to your people. That's bull shit. The new chairman of the GOP is a black man. I look at this from the prospect of guy which I am.

[ObSunVid]

Barry needs to watch this movie and lighten up a bit.

[shamelessposer]

George W. Bush has shown time and again that he's not a racist. He employs racists, has racists in his cabinet, and his party passes racist legislation, but it really does seem that he's less likely to judge people based on skin color than a lot of other guys of his generation.

But given that he's one of the bottom five worst US presidents of all time, this is of course damning with faint praise. He gets people killed under his watch on an equal-opportunity basis.

[johnow7]

Name the legislation that he has the GOP passed and the pres. signed that is racist. Tell me how is cabinet (the most multicultural cabinet in history)is racist. And while you are at it do some research about how much he has help Africa fight AIDS and Malaria. Bush visited Africa this year and they treated him like a frigging rock star. Also, look up about how many millions of Africans have died of malaria after liberals got DDT banned world wide.

[shamelessposer]

johnow7, I am not your personal search engine. Keeping up with current events should have been enough to show what I'm talking about, but I guess FOX News failed you.

And yes, Bush has done some great work in Africa. But even then, some of the funding has been tied into abstinence-only programs that have been repeatedly proven to no work.

[johnow7]

I am not asking you to be my personal search engine. Either you have difficulty in reading comprehension or you are attempting to be witty. Obviously, you are ignorant of the topics that I brought up. That is way I suggested you offer examples and do research (Something people of your political bent apparently hate to do). And FYI, I don't watch TV. Try again.

[johnow7]

Also, research how liberals are trying to ban genetically modified foods many of which could grow in harse conditions in Africa and help feed the hungry. And explain to me why conservative give way more money to charity than "compassionate" liberals.

[Yefra707]

He's not a rascist.Go and look at the millions he has invested in Africa to prevent hiv and then talk.

[TheOdderOne]

He most certainly is a ni-
