Showing Original Post only (View all)Mel Brooks movies: Corny or Clever? [View all]
I'm kinda in between.
Watching 'Spaceballs' now, yet again.
Spoof of the first Star Wars flic.

I did like 'Blazing Saddles'.
Walked out of 'High Anxiety' after the first 15 minutes.
Definition of corny from the urban dictionary:
Trying to be cool, but ultimately very uncool indeed, and often even extremely embarrassing.
Trite or tiresome; too weak to be effective; -- said of
unsubtle attempts at humor; as, a corny joke; a corny skit.

The Producers (original), Young Frankenstein, and Blazing Saddles are brilliant!
