1. Mr. Hanky

[Baitball Blogger]

2. They already made that movie.

It was called Blazing Saddles. He was played by Slim Pickens.

Here's a clip to refresh your memory:

7. Slim Pickins played "Taggart" in Blazing Saddles

"Are there more beans, Mr. Taggart?"

23. The "guy behind table" was Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman)

Hedley: "Qualifications?"
Bart (wearing Klan robes): "Stampeding cattle."
Hedley: "That's not much of a crime."
Bart: "Through the Vatican?"

28. Thanks for catching that

My mistake.

(You'd think I'd have known that after seeing Blazing Saddles at least 30 times).

3. Jim Carrey

[Wounded Bear]

4. Steve Buschemi...

[Turbineguy]

5. Jim Carrey

Foster Brooks unfortunately passed on.

[red dog 1]

8. Perfect!

I've been a fan of Jim Carrey since "In Living Color"

[Mendocino]

6. Larry the Cable Guy

and brother Ryan: Dean Norris (Hank from Breaking Bad)

[TexasBushwhacker]

14. I thought Larry too

I think Ammon has a bit of heft.

Of course if the Farrelly Brothers produced it, they could calk it "Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest".

[Mendocino]

15. Or Bund and Bunder

[pinboy3niner]

9. Pee-wee Herman. nt

[red dog 1]

10. I think Pee Wee Herman's first acting role was in Cheech & Chong's "Next Movie" (1980)

He had a couple of TV shows, "Pee Wee's Playhouse" & "The Pee Wee Herman Show"

Pee Wee (Paul Reubens) went on to make many more movies, including:
"Pee Wee's Big Adventure" (1985)
My favorite was when he played a dope dealer in "Blow"..starring Johnny Depp.
(He's actually a pretty good actor)

[jmowreader]

22. He was in the Blues Brothers before that

He played the wine steward at Chez Paul who told Elwood the best bottle of champagne in the house cost $75. (He was not, however, the one who served it to Elwood in a water glass.)

[red dog 1]

29. I didn't know that

But I remember that scene.

JAKE [fakes accent] "How much for the women?"
FATHER; "What?"
JAKE: "Your women. I want to buy your women. The little girl, your daughters....Sell them to me...Sell me your children!"

[jmowreader]

33. Mr. Reubens was on camera for 13 seconds, so he was easy to miss

The best line in that whole exchange was how they entrapped Alan Rubin into rejoining the band: "If you say no, Elwood and I will come here for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day of the week."

[red dog 1]

34. Wasn't his nick name "Mr Fabulous"?

("You'll never get Mr Fabulous&quot

[jmowreader]

35. Yes, it was, at least in the Blues Brothers band

He has a VERY long discography...

One thing I really liked about The Blues Brothers: the entire band appeared as themselves.

[gratuitous]

12. I was thinking the unholy offspring

Of Pee-wee Herman and Bobcat Goldthwait.

[GeorgeGist]

11. Kevin James

[red dog 1]

13. Excellent choice!

I'm adding him to the list.

[IDemo]

16. Ed O'Neill

[red dog 1]

19. Al Bundy playing Ammon Bundy?

I like it!

(Isn't that photo from the episode where Al realizes that he needs glasses?)

[IDemo]

20. Seems appropriate

Except in this show, he'd be holding his hand out for cash as the kids walk out the front door.

I can't remember what I had for breakfast anymore, much less 30 year old TV episodes!

[red dog 1]

30. Notice how he's squinting?

and I don't think that's a remote he's holding.
("What the hell is wrong with this remote?&quot

Bud & Kelly come into the living room & sit next to him..and, at one point, hand him a banana, which, because of his poor eyesight, he thinks is the remote.

Later in the episode, he goes to the optometrist to get glasses.

It's one of the funniest episodes ever,

[greendog]

17. The entire bunch of them should be played by homeschooled 4th graders.

[Kaleva]

18. Kevin Hart

[jmowreader]

21. Charlie Sheen sounds about right to me

[ohnoyoudidnt]

24. Randy Quaid or Larry The Cable Guy.

[Kennah]

36. I'm gonna second the vote for Randy Quaid n/t

[Initech]

25. Bill Murray should play Jon Ratzheimer

Think of the possibilities when they get to the "stop mailing us dildos" part of the story!

[red dog 1]

31. Excellent idea!

Have you seen "St. Vincent"?

Bill Murray plays a crotchety old man

One of his best films, imo.

[Initech]

32. I saw it the other day on HBO.

Definitely a good role for him, I must say!

[Iggo]

26. Laverne Cox.

[bigwillq]

27. Mel Gibson

Directed, produced and written by Mel Gibson

[malthaussen]

37. Naw, these are real actors.

You need the guy from "Duck Dynasty" to give proper authenticity.

Maybe after Ted Cruz is laughed out of the Senate, he can take the job.
