Not gonna lie, some of the super goofy jokes just... didn't work for me. This will make a stranger mad at me and I'm sorry about it! Love a good horse gag, though. Explosions sending a horse fifty feet into the sky? Can't beat that! This movie could NEVER be made…

"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."

- Cooper Scooper likedBlazing Saddles
Managed to have offensive humor that was witty and still respectful towards those it was poking fun at. You can tell that this wasn’t made in poor taste. The meta humor worked really well which is to be expected from Mel brooks. All around good time got some solid laughs outta me
Julie Dolinsky lovedBlazing SaddlesMel Brooks was the first to introduce interracial friendship in film. The film is hilarious in its approach to calling out the system, Hollywood and racism. There will never be another film made like this again and it’s legacy is unparalleled.
Avery McCarrick is "meh" onBlazing SaddlesThis movie for its time I’m sure was hilarious, but I felt kind of neutral while watching. Usually there are older movies I’ll still laugh at, but this movie had no solid foundation whatsoever. It was just nonsense
- Becas lovedBlazing Saddles
Very funny and holds up really well. A bit dated in some senses, like language that we wouldn’t hear if this movie was made today, but nonetheless a great watch
Alex Liddell dislikedBlazing SaddlesFor a film people say is a comedy classic. I couldn’t finish it as it wasn’t funny and didn’t enjoy it
Jamie dislikedBlazing SaddlesFunny but not for me, only a few scenes made md laugh
- Shannon is "meh" onBlazing Saddles
very racist and stupid humor

Dyl lovedBlazing SaddlesWHERE THE WHITE WOMEN AT??? Blazing saddles has aged like fine wine, like it’s so relevant with today’s humour, despite the fact it came out over 50 years ago, gotta love how they just went full in on the comedy no matter what it was, like the 70s equivalent of South Park. Since Blazing Saddles…

It's a crazed grabbag of a movie that does everything to keep us laughing except hit us over the head with a rubber chicken. Mostly, it succeeds. It's an audience picture; it doesn't have a lot of classy polish and its structure is a total mess. But of course! What does that matter while Alex Karris is knocking a horse cold with a right cross to the jaw?
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Much of the laughter Mr. Brooks inspires is hopeful, before-the-gag laughter, which can be terribly tiring...Blazing Saddles has no dominant personality, and it looks as if it includes every gag thought up in every story conference. Whether good, bad, or mild, nothing was thrown out.
Vincent Canby
The New York Times
No comic trope, however musty or studded with whiskers, is off limits, including bad puns, physical shtick, pie fights, goofy names and accents, song-and-dance numbers, Jewish Indians, or just having a bunch of cowpokes farting around the campfire. Some of the jokes drop like lead, but the film's anarchic spirit carries a lot of excitement, because Brooks' anything-goes philosophy means that no comedic possibilities go unconsidered.
