Some jokes hit hard and left me in pain from laughing so hard, while others missed completely. Inconsistent comedy and mediocre story aside, though, the ending is one of the most meta things I've ever seen.

Honestly, This is a pretty overrated movie for me. Some of the jokes were funny but most of it was just attempts to be offensive (which I don't mind) in order to come off as funny.

I find it so hilarious when people these days are offended by certain sequences in this film. Mel Brooks in my opinion found the perfect through line in which to satirize certain parts of our lives that was not racist and was not sexist butI find it so hilarious when people these days are offended by certain sequences in this film. Mel Brooks in my opinion found the perfect through line in which to satirize certain parts of our lives that was not racist and was not sexist but just funny as hell. " The sheriff is near… " so funny. And the Alex Karras sequence in which he punches the horse is so ingrained in my memory and so part of my youth that I cherish it.… Expand

The best raw comedy produced by the American film society! I laughed throughout the whole film.

The movie is ahead of it’s time. The jokes in it still feel fresh and over all it’s one of the funniest western movies out there. Strong 10

While I slightly prefer The Producers and Young Frankenstein this is still a jewel in the crown when it comes to comedy. It is silly and it is not subtle at all, there are those who will flinch at some of the language used. But it is veryWhile I slightly prefer The Producers and Young Frankenstein this is still a jewel in the crown when it comes to comedy. It is silly and it is not subtle at all, there are those who will flinch at some of the language used. But it is very funny, and works really well as a spoof. The story is a lot of fun, and there are enough slapstick and jokes to amuse as well as a wonderful script. The production values are very good too, while the acting is spot on. Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder are both great as the smart-as-a-whip railway worker appointed first black sheriff and the drunken gunman who helps him out, while Madeline Kahn(in a Marlene Dietrich send-up), Alex Karras and Harvey Korman are even better. Overall, not subtle but still great. 9/10 Bethany Cox… Expand
