12 people need to be brought before the Inquisition, and be made to confess their evil ways and accept, and embrace the True Church, or be tortured in a Carnival like atmosphere! Or at lest be used as extra's in a Mel Brooks Musical till their legs fall off!
@OfCourseMrGlinko because the Muslims had already been kicked out of Europe by the time of the Inquisition...and Mel Brooks is Jewish and that's his sense of humor
@odinfromcentr2: Further, all possible fields of learned excellence, such as mathematics, astronomy, medicine, the sciences, all flourished in that "dark time of priestly domination and bigoted superstition", so obviously someone is LYING, and it was the men who slandered both nobleman and priest, King and Pope, imputing to their hands imagined oceans of 'innocent' blood, when their own lurid pens helped create the French Revolution, which shed very REAL oceans of innocent NON-heretical blood.
@odinfromcentr2: As regards confiscated property, this too was placed at the disposal of the King. The very existence of the Inquisition, activated in a particular kingdom, was authorized only after the approval by the Pope, BUT AFTER the petitions of the King of that realm. "Freedom of Thought" as snivelling modernists and arrogant liberals imagine it narrowly, may not have existed, but VITALITY of expression was hardly lacking in the literature of Spain in the reign of Philip II.
@odinfromcentr2: It is patently false that any accusation was enough to suffice one to be placed in prison, that the accused was never allowed to know or see his accusers, that all rights of legal defense and representation was denied him, or that any testifying against the accused, if found to be a perjurer or calumniator, was not punished themselves accordingly. The CIVIL Authorities decided which punishments, in either case, were to be applied. The Diocesan Bishops also could note the crime.
@odinfromcentr2: You "fail to see the good", precisely. You FAIL to see the good in preventing the "religious liberties" which INVADING foriegn Mussulmen exerted by the bloodiest swords, and the craft and treason of their Heretical and JEWISH confederates which were expressed with the strangler's scarf, the assassin's poison, the surrender of cities, the lending of interest, the opening of gates to the hordes of negro and arab mercenaries thirsting for rapine and buggery at daggerpoint. Knave!
@odinfromcentr2: "They tortured and murdered people", "THEY", WHO? Did you, TV-besotted infidel, even read the prior posts, which ARE FACTUAL? Not men of the Church, whose role was to pose questions, record responses, and oversee the interrogations, as well as to note recantations and penitence which would also be helpful in suggesting to the servants of the temporal authorities a GRANTING OF CLEMENCY. God is the author of mercy as well as justice. Spare us the falsity that would blot out BOTH
If Spain was so "intolerant", how is it possible that swarms of ullulating fanatical armies of the Crescent were able to enter the country, with the treasonous aid of the thrice-cursed and utterly despicable brood of vermin that is the so-called Hebrew race? The only intolerance shown was on the part of these two unholy forces of chaos incarnate, that Spain should have been exactly what it was, a prosperous and peaceable (and incidentally, catholic) country. "Enlightened" naves and calumniators!
It is NOT TRUE that the Inquisition was a purely ecclesiastical tribunal, that it condemned men to death for mere opinions, or that it was men of the Church that passed such sentence. The Holy Office was not founded by any Bull issued by the Pope, nor was it purely the creation of Cardinal Torquemada. It was the creation of the King and the Cardinal together, AS AN INSTRUMENT of the Royal Power, and to protect the people of a country known for its virtues, temperance, and sense of HONOR.
At the time the Holfy Office in Spain was assisting these noble and monarchial authorities, the Mohammedans and yehuds had nearly conquered the country, and surely no thoughtful person believes that to preserve the people against a deadly enemy it merely suffices to arrest the enemy and question him, and put to use some hard language and tearful remonstrances. Sermons were not enough to save Spain, not for the fault of the Church and King, but rather, its enemies hardened hearts. Impenitants!
Never did any priest or monk of the Holy Office condemn any one of these to death, but the temporal authorities, and ultimately, the Monarch. Against forces which threaten the state and the common good, which UNDOUBTEDLY a common faith and common purpose includes, the sovereign Ferdinand II, over the objections of Isabella of Spain decided to deal with the subversive danger of these perfidious and pernicious heretics, traitors and yehuds. Consider the good that the Inquisition did, not the evil.
@FatherFilipic They tortured and murdered people in some of the most brutal ways people have ever been tortured and murdered simply for not being sheeple. I fail to see A. why that ought to be a crime and B. how any good could possibly come out of that. The real traitors were traitors to God, and those traitors were the ones setting people on fire.
Haha I'm in 7th grade and we r learning about the Middle Ages and the Inquisition in history class so my history teacher got out his laptop and showed all of us this video. He thought it was funny because it showed how stupid and unfair the Inquisition really was. Haha this video is actually pretty cool especially the nuns :)
Then these papus persons plunge in, and they throw me in a dungeon, and they shove a red hot poker up my ass Is that considerate? Is that polite? And not a tube of Preparation H in sight
I'm sitting, plicking chickens and I'm looking through the pickings and suddenly these guys bring down my balls.I didn't even know them and they grabbed me by the scrotum and they started playing ping pong with my b
its spain, there are very few black people in spain, then and now. During the inquisition, the spanish were mainly persecuting muslims (who are mainly berbers and arabs) and jews.
I absolutely LOVE this! My dad showed it to me about 4 years ago just for fun and now that I'm a sophomore (in high school) we're learning about it and I just HAD to search it and watch it again! It always brings a smile on my face and I absolutely LOVE Mel Brooks. :D
"Torquemada – do not implore him for compassion. Torquemada – do not beg him for forgiveness. Torquemada – do not ask him for mercy. Let's face it, you can't Torquemada (talk him out of) anything!"
near the ending when Mel jumps out with the high harmonization TODAAAAAAYYY it totally gives me orgasms every time LONG LIVE MEL BROOKS. FUCK, people don't have the good ol' American creativity anymore =D
Totally AWESOME! I saw this in the theater upon release and THIS number made this movie an absolute comedy classic. A magnificent surprise! The audience went wild and APPLAUDED & CHEERED when this more than 6.5 minute extravanganza ended. And I was right along with them. Thanks jedi for posting this in the original widescreen; I bought this on video years ago, but it loses so much with the picture cropped.
@NJburbsSeeker I read a great article where Mr Brooks said there's a serious point to his movies. He said that comedy is a soft springy ball, and you can't throw it against a soft wall, but instead should be the hard, cold wall of reality, and the comedy springs back in a lively way. That's why his comedy addressing issues like fascism (The Producers) and racism (Blazing Saddles) is so classic.
@rockinroller25 He rly is man global is so fun, we played voly ball today in class for revue! We also learn stuf to... SO WE DONT FAIL THE REGENTS!!!!!!
Superb and very very clever. I love it. I watched this film along with Blazing Saddles as a teenager so many times and it is still fresh and funny today as it was then.
Yes, Brooks IS Jewish! On a historical note, had Brooks NOT done this, Roman Catholics and the Vatican would have been able to whitewash this out of the history books. Not many REALLY know about the real inquisition. "...send in the Nuns..."
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
As a history buff, I find movies like these repulsive. I know this is all meant in fun, but everyone gets the wrong idea, and nobody realizes that this is about as historically accurate as Caesar flying a rocket ship to Mars.
the church murdered and tortured perhaps a million during the inquisition. Jews, good priests, and anyone who dared to challenge the church, eg the flat earth theory.
The churches history is one of mass murder and terrorism over the ages. May Allah have mercy on its victims, and may allah remove the vatican from the face of the earth. Our enemies can also be our friends
@bisexismorefun The last time the church killed was hundred of years ago when the people running it weren't hardly real christians to begin with. The church had the kind of power that congress has today. This drew a lot of people who wanted the political power and didn't care about spreading god's word so much as making themselves more powerful. Things have changed, the Catholic church doesn't murder anyone last I checked.
@moloci21 Uum no it wasn't. They were at loggerheads all the time. If the Church tried to get into a war with the Spanish Goverment of the day they would have lost bg time.
i just noticed that the sparkler scene was filmed with the nuns going into the water and they reversed the film to make it look like they where coming out of the water. Notice the smoke flowing back into the sparklers. Don't know why i didn't notice before.
@KASHIV12 You just watched the peak of American comedy. One of the beauties of America is the ability to escape your ethnic history and look at the concept of ethnicity and religious belief as the silly farce it is. The U.S. is a wonderful country, it saved me from being Italian and gave me room to become my own kind of Yankee that I feel good with and to hell with anyone else.
@TalksWithDirt Dude I watched bullshit, do you know what the Spanish Inquisition was. What you said is like saying that the Holocause is comedy. Many innocent Jewish people were tortured and killed in the Spanish Inquisition. What you said, was absolute bullshit. I have no patient for anyone who thinks something so horrifying as the Spanish Inquisition was the peak of American comedy. THE ONLY THING FUNNY ABOUT THIS VIDEO WAS 6:05, NOTHING ELSE.
@KASHIV12 But don't you see you're the comedy, people like you are the reason Mel Brooks made comedy. Listen to you "Many innocent Jewish people were tortured and killed in the Spanish Inquisition." Yes, and so were Islamics and non-believers. Notice how you don't mention that, hell you'd probably do it TO them if given a chance. Maybe you already do. I don't know your nationality, but if you're an American get over yourself and stop acting like the people Mel Brooks is making fun of.
@TalksWithDirt I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN TO SIT HERE AND ARGUE ABOUT WHY MEL BROOKS MADE THIS CRAP ASS MUSICAL WITH A FUCKING MORON LIKE YOURSELF. SHUT UP.
@KASHIV12 No you don't, you just have nothing to say. Or, you're angry because you know you're just the type of person Mel Brooks and the rest of the sane world is making fun of in this bit, but you just can't get over it when the joke lands so squarely on yourself. Watch out, looks like you hit the caps lock key instead of the shift when you started your ... what looks like a rant. Peace and .... Merry Christmas.
@KASHIV12 Mel Brooks is jewish for one thing. Another thing to point out would be a Mel Brooks quote (not exactly the quote, but close enough) "the best way to get back at people like hitler is to portray them in a ridiculous manner"; thats what he's doing: making fun of the people who organized the spanish inquisition for their intolerance.
@modernwarfare9009 I GET IT, THE VIDEO IS FUNNY, BUT I AM SAYING IT OFFENDS A LOT OF PEOPLE INCLUDING JEWISH PEOPLE, THE PART WHERE THEY HAVE JEWISH PRISONERS SINGING AND THE NUN SWIMERS STANDING ON THE GIGANTIC MENORAH. GIVE IT A REST YOUTUBE IS FOR FREE EXPRESSION AND THATS WHAT I DID, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, IGNORE IT.
@tovarishvlad clearly u have no understanding of catholic beliefs in its clear that you are ignorant. I suggest you think before you start throwing out nonsense and lies
@vithum Yeaah! if someone saw this video, you would think that all Catholics do is think about torturing jews to make them convert. They also think about self flaggelation and sleeping on the floor in the nude... and having sex with little boys.
Funny thing is Mel Brooks was Jewish.

I bet the Jews would never have minded the torture one bit if the Spannish Inquisition was anything as jolly as this.

Human history and some moments in the world are full of so much horror that the only sane thing to do is to mock it and laugh.

the church murdered and tortured perhaps a million during the inquisition. Jews, good priests, and anyone who dared to challenge the church, eg the flat earth theory.
The churches history is one of mass murder and terrorism over the ages. May Allah have mercy on its victims, and may allah remove the vatican from the face of the earth. Our enemies can also be our friends

@bisexismorefun The last time the church killed was hundred of years ago when the people running it weren't hardly real christians to begin with. The church had the kind of power that congress has today. This drew a lot of people who wanted the political power and didn't care about spreading god's word so much as making themselves more powerful. Things have changed, the Catholic church doesn't murder anyone last I checked.

i just noticed that the sparkler scene was filmed with the nuns going into the water and they reversed the film to make it look like they where coming out of the water. Notice the smoke flowing back into the sparklers. Don't know why i didn't notice before.

@KASHIV12 You just watched the peak of American comedy. One of the beauties of America is the ability to escape your ethnic history and look at the concept of ethnicity and religious belief as the silly farce it is. The U.S. is a wonderful country, it saved me from being Italian and gave me room to become my own kind of Yankee that I feel good with and to hell with anyone else.

@TalksWithDirt Dude I watched bullshit, do you know what the Spanish Inquisition was. What you said is like saying that the Holocause is comedy. Many innocent Jewish people were tortured and killed in the Spanish Inquisition. What you said, was absolute bullshit. I have no patient for anyone who thinks something so horrifying as the Spanish Inquisition was the peak of American comedy. THE ONLY THING FUNNY ABOUT THIS VIDEO WAS 6:05, NOTHING ELSE.
KASHIV12 1 year ago
@KASHIV12 But don't you see you're the comedy, people like you are the reason Mel Brooks made comedy. Listen to you "Many innocent Jewish people were tortured and killed in the Spanish Inquisition." Yes, and so were Islamics and non-believers. Notice how you don't mention that, hell you'd probably do it TO them if given a chance. Maybe you already do. I don't know your nationality, but if you're an American get over yourself and stop acting like the people Mel Brooks is making fun of.

@TalksWithDirt I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN TO SIT HERE AND ARGUE ABOUT WHY MEL BROOKS MADE THIS CRAP ASS MUSICAL WITH A FUCKING MORON LIKE YOURSELF. SHUT UP.
KASHIV12 1 year ago
@KASHIV12 No you don't, you just have nothing to say. Or, you're angry because you know you're just the type of person Mel Brooks and the rest of the sane world is making fun of in this bit, but you just can't get over it when the joke lands so squarely on yourself. Watch out, looks like you hit the caps lock key instead of the shift when you started your ... what looks like a rant. Peace and .... Merry Christmas.

@KASHIV12 Mel Brooks is jewish for one thing. Another thing to point out would be a Mel Brooks quote (not exactly the quote, but close enough) "the best way to get back at people like hitler is to portray them in a ridiculous manner"; thats what he's doing: making fun of the people who organized the spanish inquisition for their intolerance.

@modernwarfare9009 I GET IT, THE VIDEO IS FUNNY, BUT I AM SAYING IT OFFENDS A LOT OF PEOPLE INCLUDING JEWISH PEOPLE, THE PART WHERE THEY HAVE JEWISH PRISONERS SINGING AND THE NUN SWIMERS STANDING ON THE GIGANTIC MENORAH. GIVE IT A REST YOUTUBE IS FOR FREE EXPRESSION AND THATS WHAT I DID, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, IGNORE IT.

@vithum Yeaah! if someone saw this video, you would think that all Catholics do is think about torturing jews to make them convert. They also think about self flaggelation and sleeping on the floor in the nude... and having sex with little boys.
