Bart (wearing Klan robes): "Stampeding cattle."
Hedley: "That's not much of a crime."
Bart: "Through the Vatican?"

(You'd think I'd have known that after seeing Blazing Saddles at least 30 times).

Of course if the Farrelly Brothers produced it, they could calk it "Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest".

(27,802 posts)He had a couple of TV shows, "Pee Wee's Playhouse" & "The Pee Wee Herman Show"
Pee Wee (Paul Reubens) went on to make many more movies, including:
"Pee Wee's Big Adventure" (1985)
My favorite was when he played a dope dealer in "Blow"..starring Johnny Depp.
(He's actually a pretty good actor)

(50,557 posts)He played the wine steward at Chez Paul who told Elwood the best bottle of champagne in the house cost $75. (He was not, however, the one who served it to Elwood in a water glass.)

(27,802 posts)But I remember that scene.
JAKE [fakes accent] "How much for the women?"
FATHER; "What?"
JAKE: "Your women. I want to buy your women. The little girl, your daughters....Sell them to me...Sell me your children!"

(50,557 posts)The best line in that whole exchange was how they entrapped Alan Rubin into rejoining the band: "If you say no, Elwood and I will come here for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day of the week."

One thing I really liked about The Blues Brothers: the entire band appeared as themselves.

(Isn't that photo from the episode where Al realizes that he needs glasses?)

(16,926 posts)Except in this show, he'd be holding his hand out for cash as the kids walk out the front door.
I can't remember what I had for breakfast anymore, much less 30 year old TV episodes!

(27,802 posts)and I don't think that's a remote he's holding.
("What the hell is wrong with this remote?"
Bud & Kelly come into the living room & sit next to him..and, at one point, hand him a banana, which, because of his poor eyesight, he thinks is the remote.
Later in the episode, he goes to the optometrist to get glasses.
It's one of the funniest episodes ever,

(27,802 posts)Have you seen "St. Vincent"?
Bill Murray plays a crotchety old man
One of his best films, imo.

Maybe after Ted Cruz is laughed out of the Senate, he can take the job.
