Comedy is a very powerful component of life. It has the most to say about the human condition because if you laugh you can get by. You can struggle when things are bad if you have a sense of humor. Laughter is a protest scream against death, against the long goodbye. It’s a defense against unhappiness and depression.Mel Brooks

Extras:
Mel made it a point to stress the fact that really nobody could sing “Dancing in the Dark” except Bing Crosby.
Inspired by a line in Blazing Saddles, a company in California started producing “Harumph” wine. I need a chance to sample this.
