What did you expect? "Welcome, sonny"? "Make yourself at home"? "Marry my daughter"? You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.

Although that one could be used today this movie would never be released.

Excuse me while I whip this out.
Timeless classic. I say that in my head nearly every time I visit the bathroom.
Had to watch Blazing Saddles a dozen times to catch all the jokes from all the scenes. In the great pie fight scene, the actor playing Adolf Hitler can be seen in the meelee doing salutes at the top of the frame in the commisary. Then he does a quick header and disappears!
I watched it on FreeVee or Tubi (one of those channels) about a year ago because I hadn't seen it in such a long time. Hilarious.
Someone recently asked Mel Brooks that question, namely, that movie wouldn't get made today, and his reply was that that's what they told him 50 years ago.
