You need to recertify with Spaceballs and Blazing Saddles once a year. I usually do Saddles in the summertime and Spaceballs in the wintertime to break up the monotony of normal entertainment.
That reminds me, I need to watch Blazing Saddles. I haven't seen it and kee meaning to, but I end up forgetting to watch it.

Haven't seen it as in haven't seen it recently, or have never seen it?
I watched it a couple of nights ago becaue this discussion reminded me and I needed to refresh my memory. Wow, that movie could never be made today in our hyper-sensitive mega-tolerant politically-correct bubble. The gratuitous use of
the "n-word" alone would be enough to keep it out of every Hollywood studio. They poke fun at pretty much every stereotype and class and it's all in good fun. I love the scene where Gene Wilder is consoling the sheriff and explaining that the townspeople are "just simple farming folk, ignorant people of the land, you know... Mormons." and the actor playing the sherrif totally cracks up, braking character. You know that was ad-lib and totally unexpected and I'm sure there was a lot of improvisation that made it into the movie.
Many of those actors are no longer with us, but it's so nice that we can continue to enjoy their craft and humanity, pretty much, whenever we want to. Three cheers for technology! :-)
