Maybe this was revolutionary at the time but I’d rather watch the Producers, History of the World, or Space Balls any day.

It's interesting how perspectives work.

I never like the Producers at all, I would describe it basically the same way you describe Blazing Saddles, and I love Blazing Saddles (though I hate regular westerns).

But then both you and I like History of the World and Spaceballs.

So, like I said, perspectives are strange.
