Today, Mel Brooks is 99. God bless him.

In his honor, be funny.

And smart.

@serpicojam I hope to dear lord he lives to see Spaceballs 2 released.
@nuintari @serpicojam
I'm still gutted they didn't go with the earlier idea to call it "Spaceballs 3: the search for Spaceballs 2"

@Doomstrike @nuintari @serpicojam

"Spaceballs 4: Lethal Weapon Who...?"

@That_Damn_Frank @Doomstrike @serpicojam or from the original movie, "Spaceballs 2: The Search For More Money."

@nuintari @Doomstrike @serpicojam

Pleased to Note:

This is Not Mel Brooks looking for more money.

History of The World part 3: Catherine the Great did What...?

@That_Damn_Frank @nuintari @serpicojam
Sorry I have no idea what you mean

@Doomstrike @nuintari @serpicojam

"Sorry I have no idea what you mean."

This refers to a rather ribald part of Russian history. I'm not sure how to say this politely.

Putin rode on top of the horse topless.
Catherine the Great (supposedly) rode underneath the horse bottomless.

@That_Damn_Frank @nuintari @serpicojam
In the context of the thread, how this rant is connected. But you sound extremely enlightened

@Doomstrike @nuintari @serpicojam

Now, do you understand/comprehend what I mean?

Yes
No

Today I learnt that Mel Brookes is still alive. What a legend! Happy Birthday Mel!!
@serpicojam He's such an influential comedian.

@jhooper @serpicojam Also a mentor to so many, including David Lynch.

Remember it was Mel who took a chance on him to direct The Elephant Man after he saw Eraserhead.

@serpicojam I love him and his humor and his humanity

@Lizette603_23 @serpicojam Plus, David Lynch's career would have been so different if Mel passed on him doing The Elephant Man.

I'm so glad he did took that gamble.

@serpicojam just what I happen to have already uploaded in this iceshrimpโ€™s drive
@serpicojam Thank the gods for gloriously funny Jews.
@serpicojam I'm imagining Brooks going "Oy, stop with the blessings already, you think it's fun being 99?"
@serpicojam Mel Brooks will forever be remembered as the master of parody. The good one, that's often subtle and witty, but always unforgettably funny. Space Balls and Roobin Hood and the men in thighs were my all time favorites, especially since I'm a Star Wars fan and I got a lot od references back then. I hope Space Balls 2 will be good. I miss good parodies.
@serpicojam I can be a little smart. And on a good day I can be a tiny bit funny. Nowhere near hus league.

@serpicojam "The Inquisition, what a show..."

Happy 99th birthday, Mel Brooks!๐Ÿ˜ŽโœŒ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ†๐ŸŽ†๐ŸŽ๐Ÿพ
