Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder. Comedic geniuses the world didn't deserve but needed.
'Blazing Saddles' and 'Young Frankenstein' are 2 of the greatest comedies ever made, Gene and Mel created movie magic together.
The Producers is Mel Brooks' magnum opus.
@@pretorious700 He's a good director
Harumph!
I really don't get why everyone is ga-ga over 'Young Frankenstein'....
It got a few chuckles out of me, but it wasn't THAT funny, especially compared to his others. 🤷🏼♂️
@@MisterMalleable "I didn't get a harrumph outta that guy"
"Harrumph 😳"
Gene Wilder’s greatest talent was his innately authentic ability to make everyone feel good about life; comedy with an added substrate of meaning. There were more revelations and laughter in his impeccable timing and masterful pauses, than in a box full of jokes.
Yeah! Wilder could express anger in a moment.. but, he had the comic genius to reel it back in.. to maintain his sanity.. that made the scene comical.
Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder were the comedy duo I never knew I needed.
"Drink the coffee Gene, drink the coffee" Rest In Paradise king.
Gene wilder.. gets to see his glorious wife may they rest in peace together
How unfortunate they were not Christian.
A brilliant and talented man recognizing and appreciating another brilliant and talented man.
How beautiful it is to witness friendships like this. Someone who celebrates their friend’s work without insecurity or hidden envy is rare among partners/colleagues, probably more rare in hyper-competitive industries like this one. I’m so grateful my lifetime allows me to experience the beauty those two put out into the world. What a time to be alive, indeed!
My favorite duo of all time. Gene and Mel. All their works are masterpieces and will be for eternity. Pure creative nirvana.
I want to Thank Mel Brooks for the laughter he and Gene Wilder and Cleavon Little have given us over the years There are so many examples from so many movies like Blazing Saddles Young Frankenstein and so many others that we all remember that make us laugh every time all the time My dad always said it is a wonderful thing to be able to laugh Cleavon and Gene and Madlyn Khan are gone but will always be remembered with gratitude and smiles and laughter Mel in History of the World Part 1 where Mel played so many parts and was great and funny in all of them Thanks you guys thank you so very much You all will live in our hearts forever
Thanks Mel
Rest in peace GENE
what a legend thanks
As italian I am impressed that Mel Brooks knows Alberto Sordi, he was one of my favorite actors and true comedic genius but I didn't know anyone outside Italy could recognize his talent.
Fellini is known worldwide but yes, I was impressed as well when he mentioned Alberto Sordi which, as a Roman, to me it fills me up of a great pride but, on the other hand, we are talking about Mel Brooks...a true genius.
@@enricoangelini7629 Si vede che Mel Brooks ha a cuore l'italia, ha pure collaborato con Ezio Greggio, con risultati discutibili...
@@mattmoves5920
Si, mi ricordo, Il silenzio dei prosciutti (The silence of the hams) ....penoso....😁😁😁
@@enricoangelini7629 Greggio ne ha fatti altri in America, pure peggio del Silenzio dei Prosciutti... 😅
@@mattmoves5920
..... peggio di quello, accidenti, non pensavo fosse possibile....😬
I love the Master of Comedy MEL BROOKS.
All of his works are Masterpieces
I saw “In Memoriam: Mel Brooks” and had a heart attack
same.
Me three! But Gene Wilder was great!
are you ok?
SO lovely and sweet tribute Mel gave to Gene Wylder !!! One of the best couple of cinema !!!
Thank for the souvenir to our great italian Albertone !!!
Mel is in great shape for his age. He looks very healthy.
"He had a nervous breakdown... it was brilliant..." lololololololol
Damn straight. Wilder was never more brilliant than on his Brooks films, and in those he was unsurpassed.
A National Treasure❤️
Gene was great! Mel is my fav. Still sharp as ever at 93 wow
Mel Brooks is my hero
Gene and Mel are the best at what they do. Like Michelangelo and da Vinci of comedy
Did you know that Michelangelo and Leonardo were contemporaries? They also were rivals, which doesn't fit with Gene and Mel.
So humble and genuine
Gene Wilder is dearly missed🌹🕊
Nice that Mel Brooks could sit down like this and talk candidly since he is a very busy man. But he's from a time when Hollywood had class.
There was such a deep, mutual love and respect between Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder. Amazing professionals!!
I have always loved Gene Wilder.
I like listen to Mr. Brooks.... I'll never forget him.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Mel gave Gene the direction to be one of the best comic actors there ever was, and Gene produced for Mel’s characters a sensitivity that brought his movies heart and soul. They were an amazing team. What a shame they never ended up making more movies together like “Young Frankenstein.”
I really wish I could watch the whole documentary.
2 titans - awesome.
"Angelic"...Indeed, now.
Es muy agradable que un profesional como el señor BROOSK hablar de un actor excelente cómo el señor GENE WILDER es un privilegio
.😊🇨🇷
brooks is a serious movie historan
Yes, is wonderfull as he know Alberto Sordi, an italian great actor. Gene was marvellous, he appeared and you smile waiting what he will do.
As great a comedy Blazing Saddles was the funniest line in the movie wasn't by Gene or Mel or Cleavon. I think it was what Taggart (Slim Pickens) said at the tollbooth......."Go back and get a shit load of dimes"
My fav scene in BS too :)
To me Blazing Saddles was 2 movies. A great one till they revealed they were in a Hollywood back lot. Once they leave the Western town and reveal the sound stage area, etc. it becomes an average movie. Never understood that decision by Brooks. It ruined the continuity for me and the magic.
@@samsmith4216 I saw this in the theater & had the same confused reaction at the end. Okaaaay... It was a little bit of a let-down, agree. Up until then, though, I laughed my ass off! :)
(Still love Mel Brooks though. Going over the top & not knowing when to quit is his trademark & it usually works well. The truly clever funny stuff always outweighs the awkward juvenile stuff. 👍)
My favorite line in the movie was by Taggart, "Dang that was lucky. Doggone near lost a four hundred dollar handcart", he didn't care about the black guys, he was concerned about the equipment. That movie was so damn funny.
@@samsmith4216 I loved the ending, who doesn't get up in the morning singing that song and hearing Dom Deluise calling them a derogatory name for homosexuals? Have to be careful, youtube will ban you for using that word.
Gene to mel was what robert de niro is to martin scorcese just brillant together as a team they made gold.
R.I.P. Gene, you were awesome.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Miss him
Mel- Gene, what would make you energetic and more awake?
Gene- Some chocolate.
Why do I find that so ironic? I mean, he is Willy Wonka after all! 😂😂😂
What great losses both Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks were. Such a shame. 💔💔💔
Mel my hero
Thank you. Love your work.
And btw, Mel bringe something great, a lot of people seem to be missed, Fellini is a master of "arthouse" and Gene could had been one off his elected actors.
Which movie is he talking about?
legends
❤️❤️❤️
What movie is the crazy scene referring to?
Alberto Sordi was a great actor as Gene Wilder of course. Ones of a kind!
Who disliked this???
The Producers!
Willy Wonka asked for chocolate.
what scene is he talking about ? Anybod know
He was a great guy. Better than anyone he co stared with but didn't get the credit they did
I would love to know what scene Mel was talking about?
michael happy It’s the “Blue blanket scene” from the movie “The Producers”,
Peter N thank you very much..
@@JackFlack65 thank you... when you hear Mel Brooke praise Gene Wilder doing the greatest scene.. you ABSOLUTELY need to know what they are talking about. Thank you for enlightening us!!
@@JackFlack65 ruclips.net/video/pZ9UQxzG2po/видео.html
@@JackFlack65 thought it might've been the scene from young Frankenstein, sorry Frankensteen.
Wait a minute... this guy was Big Weld in Robots
I can’t say or hear the expression son of a bitch without hearing Gene Wilder’s voice from the movie “Silver Streak.”
‘Puttin’ on the Ritz’. Their only spat.
not a spat, a test... one of the greatest comedy duets in film history, Peter Boyle!
There's some Mel Brooks in me ...as I've said before ...not sure where it comes from though
You got to be careful with that title! Scared the crap out of me before I saw Gene Wilder's name
To Absent Friends......
... and to think, that these comedy legends could never make today, the kind of movies they made back then.
I understand what you are saying, referring to some of their use of language and slurs that we would call racist today, but I disagree. They were comic geniuses and always learned to adapt.
@@alexmacgillivray3095
I respectfully disagree.
The thought and speech police would eat them alive.
That's why so many comedians have cut down on live shows, and college campus performances.
Heck, notice how many movies continue to be removed or permanently banned from airing on TV?
@@teop7887 I agree but this comes from a wider and therefore greater, ignorance; they who censor don't know s--t about movies as an art form, only as something put on a screen and they sit and watch and ask themselves, "Am I being entertained?" Just ignorance, the cornerstone of arrogance. Much like those parents who wanted schools to ban 'Huckleberry Finn' etc....don't know a damn thing about what it is they are complaining about!
@@julianmarsh1378
Amen! 👍
directors are such putz
Maybe because they have to be?
Chocolate - of course!
Right? What else was going to wake up Willy Wonka?
A giant talking about a giant!
What scene was he referring to?? (Where Gene goes crazy)
WHAT'S THE SCENE?!!
How ironic that Willy Wonka got hyped by way of chocolate
I know Gene was good but how come Katherine Heigl never gets this kind of love.
Katherine who?
Of course he liked chocolate.
He was Willy Wonka!!!
Rest in peace, Mr. Wilder.
I wonder which scene he is talking about, I feel embarrassed to ask lol, Blazing Saddles? Or Young Frankenstein
2/21/23
What movie? What scene?
Come on, give some context to clips you post. RUclips 101.
yes!!!
Pretty sure he’s talking about the Producers, since Gene has a meltdown scene. But that’s just my guess
@@seansuperman I think you're right
Yes they shouldn't post such Vague parts. I was hoping to see this scene for myself. And I'm 100 correct that all of you did also.
seansuperman I’ve seen the full interview you’re correct. That indeed was the scene he was talking about.
Coffee? He should of gave him Yogurt
Just plain Yogurt 😂😂😂
love these geniuses both, but man Mel, kinda bossy much? :)
Nothing a couple of lines can’t fix 🥴
They couldn't make those movies now, too many snowflakes.
Art is good. Art is fine. You know, there's really not too, much of a problem with art...
I can even imagine myself, being some sort of cartoon, with big BUG eyes... Staring at a piece of art but...
Who would care?..
The worse of it are the uh, lifestyle parasites... Seriously, people who seriously, take it upon themselves to stay their brains, empty and conforming to one thing, most predominately... Their ability to parasite...
I source it as most obnoxious... The grand majority's dismissal of this reality... OF COURSE... none of _these_ accreditations suffer such...
For to it, a legitimate, living evil... Never to strain the foregone problem...
"The funny story about the night I drugged my employee, to get him going"...
🤔
looks evil
Gene Wilder in 2005: "I have no other religion. I feel very Jewish and I feel very grateful to be Jewish. But I don't believe in God or anything to do with the Jewish religion."
There is no peace in hell.
Dear Video People at 0:36 STOP doing these lame BTS cutaway shots. They always look terrible and take you out of the interview. Its pointless and dumb.
