Mel Brooks is t3h genious.

I've said this before, and, evidently, I'll say it again. I have no idea why anybody likes Mel Brooks — or why he's such as 'legend'. To my knowledge, he has never expelled anything remotely funny (to my senses) and his best film,
The Producers isn't, in all honesty, very good — it's certainly not funny. Stand-up wise, the million year old man or whatever was amiable, but, again, not funny in the slightest.
Young Frankenstein wasn't even as funny as the films it took off:
Frankenstein and
Bride Of Frankenstein, which were already tongue-in-cheek. And then we come to the woeful mess of
Men In Tights, which, as well as stealing Gene Wilder's 'walk this way' gag from
Young Frankenstein, was a series of old Mel Brooks gags and absolutely bottom-of-the-already-well-scraped-barrel new gags. It's a worthy contender for the worst film of all time.
Subjectivity, blah blah blah.
