That whole movie is fun. Loved Mel Brooks back in the day. He would say what would be considered shocking at the time with no remorse.

Why don't I like Trump more?

Oh, yeah , he is not funny--just gross.

... the studio was too chicken to include it even in that movie:

After the "Is it twoo about black men... oh, it's twoo, twoo," line, Bart says "Pardon me, ma'am, but you're sucking on my arm." I wish they'd left that in, it would have brought down the house.

"The drunk in Number Two must be awake!"

"Are we awake?"
'We are not sure. Are we...black?'
"Yes, we are."
'Then we're awake, but we're very puzzled.'

"Well, Jim...since you are my guest, and I am your host, what are your pleasures? What do you like to do?"
'Oh, I don't know...play chess...screw...'
"Wel, let's play chess."

Then there's...

"LePetomane Thruway? Now what'll that asshole think of next?"

"We shall now read from the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and Duck!"

(Said in extremely heavy Irish accent) "We'll give some land to the (blacks and Chinese), but we don't want the Irish!"

"Now, I don't have to tell you good folks what has been happening here in our beloved little town. Sheriff murdered, crops burned, stores looted, people stampeded and cattle raped."

And no Mel Brooks compilation would be complete without:

"I want you to round up every vicious criminal and gunslinger in the west. Take this down: I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists!"

Sailor: His elevens! Look at the back of his neck. You see them two cords, stickin' out? They make, like, an 'eleven'. Once they're up that's it. He's a goner.

- from Robin Hood: Men In Tights

It was an obvious dig at Kevin Costner, the RH of Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves who spoke with an American accent.
