Who Passed Gas?
Slapstick humor is a common component of Mel’s humor. He depicts individuals falling, hitting their heads on windowsills, and generally suffering injuries. He also paved the way for another slapstick joke in Blazing Saddles by inserting fart noises. The notorious scene makes use of the cliché of cowboys consuming baked beans and coffee while huddled around a campfire. Mel decided to stage the cowboys’ stomachs gurgling because he believed it would happen eventually.

Musical Half-Truths
You may need to utter a small fib now and again in order to acquire what you desire. This is what Mel Brooks did to Blazing Saddles soundtrack composer Frankie Laine. Laine has been a singer and songwriter for 75 years, which is longer than some people actually live. When Laine first began to write, he thought the Western was dramatic rather than satirical. Because Brooks feared Laine would alter the song if he understood the movie was humorous, Mel refrained from telling Laine that it was a comedy.
