Young Frankenstein Putting On The Ritz

[CronoDAS]

Twelve people have Abby Normal's brain.

[jaetoo]

The funniest movie ever made. Twelve people don't know what a treasure they dissed.

[TheAngstyWriter]

my friend thought if he performed this song with the boy (very tall boy mind you) with severe down's syndrome he was mentoring it would come out like this...

i'm pretty sure he is a horrible person

[MrRedgrin]

@TheAngstyWriter I must be a horrible person for laughing.

[TheAngstyWriter]

@MrRedgrin don't worry. i did too

[janelle7311]

Love you Frankenstein! 3

[mcppantz05]

12 slugworths over here...

[mcppantz05]

12 people are scared of fire...

[Laurencia7]

12 dislikes, really? What brainless Frankenstein pushed dislike 12 times? No taste.

[kevw73]

You know when you laugh so much, you cough, and can't catch your breath, and you sound like muttley.

Well that's me.

[andrew32155]

[KardKingKay]

In my language class my teacher put this song on and when he said 'SOPADIPA' I said it like him and everyone laughed :D

[novakralph]

[johnc0008]

[PrivateMetalhead]

OOPER DOOPER.

[212kenji]

Oh wow i remember thiss! I got this movie when i was like 5 and used to dance to this! Hahaha

[qwyzl]

nope. don't make movies like this any more. to day's "comedy" - and i use the term "comedy" loosely - is sorely lacking in cleverness, wit and any real humor. today's "comedy" is no more witty than the type of coarse humor expressed by fourteen year old boys.

[purplecat11]

Classic!

[rotinkerbell]

Are you sure it is not Michael Moore the Secretary of State for Scotland, in one of his more lucid and fluid moments????

[Magicttmt]

@rotinkerbell hahahahahhahahhahaha :o)

[b0gster]

The more I watch this the funnier it gets

[kayllo15]

"hes going to b very popular"

[kayllo15]

Peter came up with yelling whatever hes yelling during the movie lol

[NiiinaMariiie]

[RaveGirls007]

Gene Wilder is not dead..

[samcro412]

[that1weirdkid27]

[sandinstilettos]

This is why Marie fell in love with Frank.

[SpainStateOfMind]

POOTIN ONDA RIIIIIIIIIIHTS

[fearmaker4554]

The producer is an artistic genius

[MrRazorblade999]

@fearmaker4554 Producer? You mean director.

[indielovesunicorns]

There seriously needs to be more great films like this out there.

[indielovesunicorns]

If I'm not mistaken it was Gene's idea, he came up with it while making Blazing Saddles with Mel Brooks. So yeah, the genius of Mel Brooks AND Gene Wilder.

[famapublica]

@indielovesunicorns You are correct sir, or madame as the case may be. Gene Wilder came up with the idea of Young Frankenstein.

[indielovesunicorns]

@famapublica Yeah, I'm a madame. Thanks for... backing me up... I don't really know what word or phrase I'm looking for... But yeah, I want to make films, and I've always been a movie geek. So I usually know my stuff. :-)

[MrColigings]

After seeing Peter Boyle in other roles, after this one, I was surprised about how short he was.

[TheDreamking21]

Omg I love Peter Boyle and Gene Wilder!!!

[SubtlePineapple]

HODOR

[pokamonmaster1997]

Im lovin' Gene with the mustache.

[jackzero99]

They don't make movies like they used to

[AlexTeddy888]

So this was the song I heard. I didn't know the name.

[VixieMooCow69]

[higgme1ster]

Props to Marty Feldman!

[dragonsrule111]

[wCRONUSw]

Isn't that willie wonka?

[Waffenbaum]

HUDDEN HURRN HE HEEEYSS

[Laurencia7]

the genius of Gene Wilder! He co-created this movie!

[MisterFedoraSpunk]

@Laurencia7 My good madame, Everything Gene Wilder took part in was Genius

[Laurencia7]

@MisterFedoraSpunk Amen brother.

[warjikin]

@Laurencia7 It was his brain baby. Mel Brooks helped see it to reality. This part Gene insisted go into the movie and we should all thank him for it.

[Rzrbladexgirl]

lol fave mel brooks movie of all time! Gene Wilder<3

[WHlTEDEVlL]

this is why i want to tap dance but my dad wont let me i hate living in the 2010s

[ubalney]

this never gets old <3

[ColoradoState76]

I appear to be a minority here, but I don't find this "genius" or funny at all. It looks like something I would do in the 8th grade. It very well could be that I did not grow up in this era so I can't "appreciate" the humor.

[PhillipNicewaner]

@ColoradoState76: It is a style of comedy and parody which is now overshadowed by the witlessly abrasive comics of today.

[Malkmusianful]

@ColoradoState76 Mel Brooks tended to make fun of musicals in his parody films. Back then, musicals were a very big thing for studios to invest in (because they drew in large audiences), so Brooks decided to take the piss out of 'em.

Besides, it pretty much satirizes how Frankenstein in the original novel tried to show off his monster as the pinnacle of scientific progress.

[analblazer666]

@Malkmusianful Frankenstein only bragged about reviving the dead prior to his actually creating the monster. Even then, he didn't tell many people about his research. I think it's a satire of the 1930's movie Frankenstein more than anything else.

[Malkmusianful]

@analblazer666 OK.

I saw it as a general parody of cheesy horror films.

[lorengrace1998]

I love this so much :)

[michaelaepp]

Mel Brooks. What kind of genius can conceive of craziness like this.

[Bobzeaux]

@michaelaepp

Actually this whole bit was Gene Wilder's idea. Brooks was unsure of how it would fly, but Wilder fought hard for it to be included. Brooks finally conceded and filmed it, not entirely confident in the number itself, but convinced by Wilder's unmovable conviction.

Yeah, Brooks is awesome, but this was a TEAM effort. *lol*

[RWJISBEAST14]

In my opinion, Gene Wilder is among the greatest actors of all time if not he is the greatest actor.

[MHD1323]

It's hard to believe that the monster is actually Frank Barone from Everybody loves raymond

[airnbobo]

@MHD1323 I miss Peter Boyle so much. Every time I watch this movie or Raymond I get a little bit sad. =(

[MHD1323]

@airnbobo I still can't believe it strangely, like in Raymond he always was lively and its weird to think that character no longer is here :(

[JackOLantern011]

@MHD1323 your right... in fact, its hard to imagine YOU believed that. Peter Boyle plays the monster. look him up.

[zZGhostieZz]

@JackOLantern011 It's a joke . . .

[TheTonymonk]

@MHD1323 It's Peter Boyle actually

[LilGherkin]

@TheTonymonk Frank Barone is the character that Peter Boyle plays on Everybody Loves Raymond.

[NorthsideBill]

@MHD1323 Marty Feldman on that piano never fails to make me LOL

[eyeonyouproductions]

@MHD1323 Yeah, he's also known as Peter Boyle... LOL.

[dukeofurl]

@MHD1323 Not it's not it's peter boyle

[unklelemmy]

@dukeofurl Peter Boyle played Frank Barone.

[TheCenturySentry]

My favorite part of the GOP debate between Romney and Cain.

[badpdx]

[ChiefSavageMan]

SOOPER DOOPER

[Keldon90210]

I believe Taco had the most famous version.

[biguy617]

This is so funny. The stage show turned it into one big musical number. It was awesome.

[sirwob]

I just watched this song by Fred Astaire and I just had to

[etceteraretecte]

RIP raymond's dad.

[starrbeatlesqueen]

RIP Peter Boyle.

[nevilleislander]

Yeah...we know he was Raymonds dad...but c'mon people...Peter Boyle was much more than that....The man was an amazing actor... My favorite role of his was the Wizard in Taxi Driver.

[skitzofranik999]

Fuckin lunkheaded dope he was lol

[Filmmaker391]

Thumbs up if your ears heart after watching this.

[quenuca]

Dr Frankestein and Frank Barone.

[ipwnallnubscuzirock]

"I love him."

[SongsofInnocence]

I don't mean this in a bad way...but I love it when someone says 'ever since I was a kid I...' and it turns out they are 12 years old or something. LOL. You ARE a kid. Makes it sound like they are 60 or something.

[ilovedebbie0909]

This song is from the 1930s. The lyrics were changed cause the original song had an element of racism to. It was accepted back in the 30s. The term "puttin on the ritz" was a white slang term that was used to make fun of people of color who would dress in fancy clothes when they went out, even though they were very poor. You should check out the original "911sanitarium".

[barry8472]

He was willy wonka very cool

[krazzd]

@barry8472 and Frankenstein is Raymond's dad from Everybody Loves Raymond

[nancyhastrew]

This has to be one on my favorite scenes in any movie ever!!!

[nancyhastrew]

This has to be one on my favourite scenes in any movie ever!!!

[summerbaby7]

SOOOOPAHHHR DUPAHHHRR!! xD

[metaguru]

I don't know how many people appreciate the absurdity that Frankenstein decided to exhibit his scientific experiment in the form of a Broadway musical number ~ absolute genius in Mel Brooks' concept and in Gene Wilder's and Peter Boyle's performances ~ I think this is lost on most viewers sadly

[MrTrouserpants101]

GENE WILDER

[zvarnadore]

i wonder how well the monster would do in his choclate factory. hmmmm

[FunkafizeProductions]

Dr. Frankenstein: EXCELLENT! We've beaten nature, and discovered resurrection and immortality!!! What should we do to show this world our wonderful discovery?

Igor:..... Song and dance?

[knives402]

@Naviti7 was it blue skies?

[Moneymakingpants1]

@knives402 No it was originally made for the musical film Puttin' on the Ritz (1930). It was featured with the original lyrics in Idiot's Delight (1939) where it was performed by Clark Gable and then for the film Blue Skies (1946), where it was performed by Fred Astaire. But I think there's been a few more renditions done since then.

[thebabscat]

Gene is so smooth and look at that big guy GOOOOOO!!!!!!! LOL

[knightflyte]

@thebabscat That's Peter Boyle. You may know him as the father in the U.S. TV show called "Everybody Loves Raymond."

[thebabscat]

@knightflyte Oh my it is!!! He was so awesome on the X-files. RIP.

[Athenaworth]

I can't hear any other version of Puttin on the Ritz without screaming "punnnnahhnn aa rreessss!"

[flightdogg]

This scene has me crying laughing every time, no matter how many times I see it!

[MissOnePiece]

the best version ever !!!!!

[BeavertailBadDog]

You can not improve on this classic Mel Brooks comedy. I'm sick of all the new Hollywood screen wrighters trying to impove the classics. Just to mention a few so far. Wild Wild West, The Honneymooners, Planet of the Apes, The Producers, True Grit, Mr. Deeds they all sucked! Thats the problem with Hollywood these days no originality. Just a bunch of special FX's and lame ass storey lines. Or stupid movies like The Hangover. Mel Brooks movies should be left alone. They're brilliant AS IS.

[ffpanda]

@BeavertailBadDog You do know that the new version of The Producers was not done by some new Hollywood screen writer right? It was done by Mel Brooks for Broadway release, and the 'movie' version is nothing more than that.

[dowahdiddydiddy]

If they remake this, Johnny Depp should be Frankenstein and Jim Carrey could be The Monster.

[6fanboy]

@dowahdiddydiddy or be smart and DONT ruin another Gene Wilder classic with Johnny Depp

[Moneymakingpants1]

@dowahdiddydiddy NO! First off remaking this would be horrible. Some things just need to be left alone. And honestly could there be 2 worse people? Johnny Depp and Jim Carey? No. They're just horrible. The only person who could ever play Frankenstein is Wilder.

[lemansquattro]

I saw this show in lie '09 on Broadway when I was 14.

I think it made the holiday (From UK)

[camelFlo94fan]

I love Gene Wilder!!!!! so much!!!! :)))

[BranwynCheesentim]

Man Mel Brooks is a genius. He should at least make one more movie before he dies. Hopefully a sequel to Spaceballs or Blazing Saddles.

[usaeagle1776]

such a great movie..they dont make em like this anymore sadly.

[travisw001]

:D POOTIN' ON DA REEEETZ!

[nph53]

one the most genius scenes ever.

[QrtOpus1]

Obviously Frederick wanted his monster to look good, so he found the most elegant act he could find. It almost worked... almost.

[nickleization]

Who's Frankenstein again?

[sirsteveo]

@nickleization peter boyle

[roentgen571]

@nickleization Peter Boyle. He played Ray's dad on "Everybody Loves Raymond," too.

[Naviti7]

I feel sorry for people who think this song originated with this scene of this movie.

[Sanbika89]

@Naviti7 True, this song is VERY old and people should definitely look into other versions of it as well. Even though this version is funny it doesn't do justice to the actual song lol.

[yetitracker]

@Sanbika89 it wasn't meant to do jusice to it.....it was meant as a gag...one that Gene wanted in the film and Mel didn't...the Genius of Gene prevailed!

[StarSeeker94]

@Sanbika89 I know it's very old too. unfortunately I don't know where this song is originated from. I heard this song ever since I was kid (i'm 17 now) and I have never forgot it. I wish more people could see old movies and listen to old songs instead of stupid music like Rihanna or shitty movies like Dude Where's My Car. anyway do you know where it's from?

[Sanbika89]

@StarSeeker94 It was written in 1929 and first introduced in the musical (movie) Puttin' on the Ritz in 1930.

[StarSeeker94]

@Sanbika89 Thank you so much :D

[pocobug91]

@StarSeeker94 It was written by Irving Berlin in 1929.

[911sanitarium]

@Sanbika89 when did the original song come out?

[debthebob]

@Naviti7 Not to mention that this version of the song mentions Gary Cooper who wasn't even born during the time frame of the movie.

[BlueCougar]

@debthebob Gary Coper was born in 1901. This movie takes place in the early 1930s, when Cooper was already born and on his way to become a star...

[rockerseven]

@Naviti7 two words: fred astaire

[Naviti7]

@rockerseven Definitely THE best.

[sirrobinthebrave]

@Naviti7 I thought Taco made this song...

[MeloaEpiphany]

@sirrobinthebrave -- I used to think so too, back in 1995, but the mentioning of Gary Cooper suggested that the song was older than I thought. I never knew *how* old the lyrics were, but I knew that it had something to do with an era prior to my own.

[Thompsongs]

@Naviti7 I agree, but I feel equally sorry for those who haven't seen this movie.
