I loved this movie when it came out. It makes me laugh still. This scene, although a bit long, is truly hilarious in places. This is part of Mel Brooks’ History of the World Part 1. This is the last funny movie Mel Brooks made. That’s right, Spaceballs isn’t funny. Sorry. Anyhoo, this little scene, which takes place on the cusp of the French Revolution, features Mel Brooks in dual roles as Louis XVI, and the humble garcon du pis. Harvey Korman is the amazingly vile and mincing Count DeMoney (De Mo-NAY). Good stuff. You’ve got your, “It’s good to be the king.”, “Everything’s so green!”, the legendary exchange:
De Money: “It is said, your Majesty, that your people are revolting.”
The King: “You said it. They stink on ice!”
But nothing matches the sublime timing, and vitriol of “Your Majesty, You look like the Piss Boy!”
It’s 6:40 in, for those vile worms too “busy” for the darshan of Jewish Humor (which I call Jumor).
Enjoy.
