Line 3: * [[Crosses the Line Twice]]: more like "crosses the line infinity times." ** ''Springtime For Hitler'' does this itself, much to Leo's and Max's dismay. * [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: "''Betrayed''." * [[Dude, Not Funny]]: The production's use of Hitler and WWII for comedy. ** Of course that's the point. [[In-Universe]], Max tries to invoke this and make the show flop, but instead succeeds via [[Crosses the Line Twice]]. And in [[Real Life]], [[Mel Brooks]] has said he wanted to make the Nazis look so absurd that no one could ever take them seriously again. * [[Ear Worm]]: [[Springtime for Hitler]]. * [[Heartwarming Moments\|Heartwarming Moment]]: At the end of the film when, {{spoiler\|after the opening night of their (much more successful) second production}}, Bialystock presents Bloom with his very own producer's hat. Awwwwww... * [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: [[John Barrowman]]'s appearance in the 2005 movie makes more than a passing resemblance to [[Axis Powers Hetalia\|a certain albino Prussian]]. * [[Ho Yay]]: Line 22 ⟶ 20: * [[Retroactive Recognition]]: In the original film, "Eva Braun" is played by Renee Taylor, who's Fran Fine's mother in ''[[The Nanny]]''. * [[So Bad It's Good]]: Springtime For Hitler's opening musical number. Passes through into So Bad It's Sidesplitting. * [[Stop Helping Me!]]: Max to Leo at the trial (whose "defense" of Max begins with a list of all of Max's faults) in the both movies; Max then says again to the off-key chorus of old ladies at the trial in the musical remake. * [[Tear Jerker]]: Til Him ** To a lesser extent, Gene Wilder's original ending speech. Sure, there are a couple comedic zings, but the innocence and heartfelt friendship that Leo has for Max are made evident at their fullest in this scene. {{quote\|'''Leo Bloom:''' No one ever called me Leo before! I mean, I know it's not a big legal point, but...even in kindergarten they used to call me Bloom. I never sang a song before. I mean with someone else, I never sang a song with someone else before. This man...this man...this is a wonderful man. He made me what I am today...he did.}} * [[True Art Is Incomprehensible]]: The "song" LSD "performs" during his Hitler-audition. * [[The Woobie]]: Leo Bloom is a meek accountant who is nearly driven to a nervous breakdown each time his new partner tries to rope him into his scheme. While Gene Wilder makes him sympathetic, it's only until the Broadway play when it is explicitly stated that he has low self-esteem and feels that he never amounted to anything, and only makes it more heartwarming when he loosens up later on. "I Want To Be A Producer" ends with a truly awesome and heartwarming note! ---- :<small>Back to ''[[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]]''</small> {{reflist}} [[Category:~~The Producers~~{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:~~YMMV~~{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] {{DEFAULTSORT:Producers, The}}
