Line 5:
** [[Once-Acceptable Targets]]: Gays (and this is hardly the only [[Mel Brooks]] movie for which this is true!). [[Refuge in Audacity]] applies.
* [[Acceptable Political Targets]]: Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan.
* [[Acceptable Targets]]: The joke about small
* [[Award Snub]]: Lampshaded. Hedley ''did'' risk that Academy Award nomination after all...
* [[Crosses the Line Twice]]: [[Up to Eleven|Line? What is this line you speak of?]]
Line 24:
** Governor Lepetomane: "[[wikipedia:Le Pétomane|Le Petomane]]" was the stage name of a French entertainer who was famous for being able to fart at will. It's not a coincidence that one of the most famous scenes in this movie is "cowboys farting after eating beans".
** One would have to be a fan of old American movies to get the following:
{{quote|'''Olson Johnson:''' Our fathers came across the prairie! Fought Indians! Fought drought, fought locusts,
** Similarly...
{{quote|"You'd do it for [[wikipedia:Randolph Scott|Randolph Scott]]." Scott was ''the'' Western hero for decades, but by the time this movie came out, he'd been retired and out of the public eye for ten years.}}
Line 32:
** [[Botchamania|Never mind that shit! ''Here comes MONGO!'']]
** "You said rape twice." "I like rape."
** "'Scuse me while I whip this out."
* [[Vindicated by History]]: A variant as it was extremely successful from the start, but it was derided by critics as crude and dumb, while today it is considered one of the supreme comedy westerns of all.
** Blazing Saddles was ranked #6 on the AFI's "100 Years..." list of the best comedy films in the last 100 years.
* [["Weird Al" Effect]]: Western movies.
** Most of the people the various Johnsons in Rock Ridge are named after. Although Howard Johnson is still pretty well known for hotels.
** Hedy Lamarr and Randolph Scott.
** The whole "Stinking Badges" bit (which itself is a [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]]).
*** Which [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] then ''took'' for his own use in ''[[UHF (film)|UHF]]''. "We don't need no stinkin' badgers!"
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Didactic?]]{{context}}
