[Film] Life of Brian or Blazing Saddles

[Comrade Sam]

Correct.

Blazing Saddles has 2 or 3 laugh out loud moments, but Life of Brian has 2 or 3 laugh out loud moments every minute.

It's a Jewish thing and you have been outed!

Correct.

Blazing Saddles has 2 or 3 laugh out loud moments, but Life of Brian has 2 or 3 laugh out loud moments every minute.

I also enjoy the more subtle jokes, and having been raised on a tv diet of old westerns in the 70's probably makes a difference. Pretty much everyone of every generation has some knowledge of the subject parodied in Life of Brian, so I guess anyone under 50 is more likely to prefer Life if Brian.

Blazing saddles for me!

very much a “ till death us do part” genre.

brooks very unsubtley ripped open American prejudices. Quite brilliant

Balzing Saddles takes the piss out of US prejudices. big win.
Life of Brian takes the piss out of all religion ever. epic win.

Went to the Dome in Worthing to see a double header of Life of Brian and Airplane -excellent stuff.

To the original question prefer Life of Brian but Blazing Saddles is still a great film.
