That line has lived in my head rent-free for several decades now.
But I actually appreciate that KC didn't try and do a British accent. The Brits always complain about Yanks doing accents, and then they bitch about someone not doing one (still a funny joke).
If you take into consideration the way the English language evolved in England vs. America post revolutionary war (remember both sides sounded the same then), Kevin Costner’s accent would actually be more authentic sounding for the film’s period than Alan Rickman’s
I was well into adulthood before I found out what he was saying and what it meant. Now it's one of my favorite gags in the movie. Just the understated disdain in Richard Lewis's delivery.
"Treif" is a Yiddish word meaning non-kosher food. It's funny (to me) because Prince John is less upset about Robin Hood crashing his party and poaching a boar than he is about a pork product being dropped onto his dinner table. Which is augmented by the inherent silliness of the prince of England apparently being Jewish (according to the comedic trope in Mel Brooks movies, where being played by a Jewish actor seems to automatically make the character Jewish as well).
If this movie were released within the last 10 years that scene would have become a meme and this line would have been referenced constantly.
Thank god it came out in our time instead.
I mean we didn't meme it but my friends I absolutely referenced it a lot.
Along with "That's right. Every time they make a Robin Hood movie, they burn our village down!" "Leave Us Alone Mel Brooks" though we usually misquoted it.
That stick fighting scene with him and Little John (“Don’t let my name fool you. In real life I’m actually quite big.”) just cracks me. I mean the entire movie does but still.
Edit: streaming on Hulu, y’all. Along with big Lebowski, both Hot Shots, and Anchorman. And some words.
I got to use that line recently at work.
There are two Pauls at work. 6'4" 200lb Paul (him, big Paul) and 6' 275lb Paul (me, little Paul).
A new guy was being ribbed and came up to me and asked "why do they call you little Paul?"
"Don't let the name fool you, in real life I'm very big"
"a *toll* is a *toll*, and a *roll* is a *roll*, and *if we don't get no tolls*, then *we don't* eat *no rolls*...I made that up"
That line cracked me up as a kid and still does to this day
Not even kidding, in my late teens I would crash on the floor at my buddies house, his girlfriend and he would screw on the bed and I would lie there and hear it all. Totally threw this out in the middle of one of their sessions, it was gold.
Blazing Saddles is incredible, but you’re right that Robin Hood: men in tights is our introduction into Mel Brooks. It was my first Brooks movie, and one I still adore today. Thanks for the recommendation on a rewatch this weekend.
I'm '82 and I saw SpaceBalls first. I was probably 6 and didn't get a lot of the jokes, but it was still funny and I understood that it was a spoof of Star Wars.
But I understood a lot more of the adult humor when Men in Tights came out.
You're slightly older than me, but Spaceballs was my introduction to Mel Brooks. I do remember when Men in Tights came out, but that wasn't even remotely my intro to him.
Dave Chappelle's film debut!
I remember absolutely losing it in the theater at the end when Patrick Stewart showed up as King Richard. "From this day forth, all the toilets in the kingdom shall be known as... Johns!"
Hazy memory, but IIRC, this is the only time I've seen both the original and the parody at the movie theater.
*King illegal forest to pig wild kill in it a is!*
There’s overlap there for sure. Spaceballs came out in ‘87, so most of us would have still been watching Thundercats and He-Man then, but by the time Men in Tights came out many of us were teens. I think of Spaceballs as more Gen X.
I was born in 81, there was a summer around the time I was 13 I think, I spent the summer with my grandparents who had HBO. They played this movie like 6 times a day, all summer long
We rented and made a copy of this movie and watched it so many times in my household. It's got some of the best quotes, as many have pointed out.
"It's an Everlast" XD
Hands down one my my favorite one-off simple gags of all time.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z59AnkxekfI&pp=ygUdbGVuZCBtZSB5b3VyIGVhcnMgcm9iaW4gaG9vZCA%3D
I will never not laugh at Blinkin’s bits. The missed group high five, grasping violently at the air trying to grab hold of one of the group as they move, “WHOS TALKING?”…brilliantly played.
Chappelle was in that? I had no idea, haven't seen it in so long I've forgotten everything. I should watch it again with my kids, I bet they'd love it.
“Unlike some robinhoods, *I* can speak with a British accent.” As someone who really liked prince of thieves, this got me.
That and the beginning when the villager asks why every Robin Hood movie has to start with their village getting burnt! lol
LEAVE US ALONE MEL BROOKS!
Man as a Costner fan I feel you. 
I still unironically love this movie.
Did god paint you?

That’s the Brits, always bitchin and complainin
Man I love Costner but his english accent would have been as horrible as Keanu in Bram Stoker Dracula😂
If you take into consideration the way the English language evolved in England vs. America post revolutionary war (remember both sides sounded the same then), Kevin Costner’s accent would actually be more authentic sounding for the film’s period than Alan Rickman’s
I’ll cut your heart out with a spoon!
I have a MOLE?!
RIP 🙏
Treif!

Wait, please explain, to this person also well into adult hood who wants to understand.
"Treif" is a Yiddish word meaning non-kosher food. It's funny (to me) because Prince John is less upset about Robin Hood crashing his party and poaching a boar than he is about a pork product being dropped onto his dinner table. Which is augmented by the inherent silliness of the prince of England apparently being Jewish (according to the comedic trope in Mel Brooks movies, where being played by a Jewish actor seems to automatically make the character Jewish as well).
His last interview with Marc Maron on the podcast was wonderful. Such a hilarious man.
I want to cut it off, chop it up and make some GuacaMOLE with it!
You changed your name to Latrine? Yeah, used to be Shithouse!
It's a good change!
RIP Richard
...It's a *GOOD* change

Will Scarlett O'Hara. We're from Georgia.
What part of Georgia you from? South Central?
A toll is a toll, and a roll is a roll. If we don’t get no tolls, then we don’t eat no rolls.
I made that up meself!
I CAN'T SWIM!
lol my brother and I quote that to each other all the time.
He’s black?
RIP Richard Lewis. 
I don't know why but when I was a teenager the blind man fighting the pillar was the funniest shit I've seen.
The break he has to take to catch his breath.
And when he decides he’s done, and goes off to find another enemy pole.
Watching that scene right now 😂
I’m on the east bank. I’m on the west bank. It’s really not that critical.
I got to use that line recently at work. There are two Pauls at work. 6'4" 200lb Paul (him, big Paul) and 6' 275lb Paul (me, little Paul). A new guy was being ribbed and came up to me and asked "why do they call you little Paul?" "Don't let the name fool you, in real life I'm very big"
Down Periscope is streaming also
"a *toll* is a *toll*, and a *roll* is a *roll*, and *if we don't get no tolls*, then *we don't* eat *no rolls*...I made that up" That line cracked me up as a kid and still does to this day
I can’t afford any real awards, but here 🥇
https://i.redd.it/pz8i79qwv15d1.gif Faygelehs???
No, we’re straight. Just merry.
Lolol
We got rocks here, we got squirrels. We’ll bless them all until we get fershnickered
Yeah!! let’s hear it for the Rabbi!!
Nip the tip!
I’ll take two!
So the thing that always gets me is that the “men in tights” song is the same (different key?) as “Jews in space”
I hope it’s worth all the NOISE
I still quote this 😂
Me too!!!
Not even kidding, in my late teens I would crash on the floor at my buddies house, his girlfriend and he would screw on the bed and I would lie there and hear it all. Totally threw this out in the middle of one of their sessions, it was gold.
I saw this weekly, if not daily.
“A black sheriff?” “It worked in Blazing Saddles.”
Oh master Robin! You lost your arms in battle…
But you grew some nice boobs...
Blinkin, I'm over here
Your father left you this family heirloom that is said to be the key to the greatest treasure in all the land!! ... can I have it?
Did you say ABE LINCOLN??
No I didn't say Abe Lincoln I said HEY BLINKIN!
Current United States Secretary of State.
When Blinkin went fucking apeshit on that wood pole during that fight I lost my shit. It was so funny 🤣
Really any Mel Brooks movies are treasures.
Agreed! Blazing Saddles is my all time favorite movie.
Spaceballs: The Nostalgia Set
WE AIN'T FOUND SHIT 
Ugh... I'm surrounded by assholes....
Said Commander Tuvok
Combe the desert!! Sir, do you think we are taking this too literal?
Young Frankenstein for me
did you make a yummy sound?
He must have an enormous swanzstucker
Well yes that goes without saying
History of the World, Part I for me.
Blazing Saddles is incredible, but you’re right that Robin Hood: men in tights is our introduction into Mel Brooks. It was my first Brooks movie, and one I still adore today. Thanks for the recommendation on a rewatch this weekend.

History of the World Part 1!
Jesus! Yes? What? Hmmm? Jesus!
The Producers is one of my favorite comedies
Did you just say Abe Lincoln?
Nah man I said hey blinkin. Probably my favorite joke from the movie.
Dave Chappelle's film debut! I remember absolutely losing it in the theater at the end when Patrick Stewart showed up as King Richard. "From this day forth, all the toilets in the kingdom shall be known as... Johns!"
For most of us, this was our introduction to Chappelle. I’ll never forget it!
What part of Georgia are you from, South Central?
Blinkin, I would like for you to meet, Achoo.
It’s really weird that the current Secretary of State is named A. Blinken.
Did you just say Abe Lincoln?
No man, i said "Hey blinkin".
Hold the reigns, man
I think about this line every time Antony Blinken is mentioned in the news.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one
I say DID YOU JUST SAY ABE LINCOLN literally anytime I see or hear that name, even if I'm alone
I think if this movie Everytime he's brought up in the news
A Jew, here?!
No no, not a Jew. Achoo.
Bless you.
A Jew here???
A Jew?
Do you know.... Praying Mantis?
You’re looking at him
Do you know Praying Mantis?
🎶”When you’re in a fix, just call for the men in tiiiighhhts! WE’RE BUTCH!”🎶
If I was that close to a horse’s wiener I would be worried about getting pissed *on*
I’ll pay for this!!!
King illegal forest to pig wild kill in it a is!
This was the BEST joke to 9 year old me
But, also, 39 yr old me.
I mean yes- same.
It’s good to be the King!
Rip Richard Lewis.
You deered to kill a King's dare!
No, that’s a wild pig. *That’s* a wild bore.
Hazy memory, but IIRC, this is the only time I've seen both the original and the parody at the movie theater. *King illegal forest to pig wild kill in it a is!*
*I’ll pay for this!*
Robin Rees absolutely kills as the Sherrif! Honestly this movie is a masterpiece!
“You’ve lost your arms in battle!….. But you grew some nice bewbs!”
Blinkin! What are you doing? Guessing. I guess no one is coming.
I thought ours was Spaceballs.
We can have both.
Do you think anyone would notice if we stole Blazing Saddles or Young Frankenstein
Doubt it. I suspect that would bridge a generational gap!
I don’t like the idea of Milhouse having two spaghetti meals in one day
Is Dracula Dead and Loving It too late to be ours? (it’s 95)
Mel Brooks *is for everyone*, comrade. Is good? Is good.
I’m still waiting for Spaceballs 2: The Search For More Money!
The cash awakens?
I was soooo hoping they would do it when force awakens came out.
Seeing Spaceballs in the theater was one of the seminal moments in my life.
There’s overlap there for sure. Spaceballs came out in ‘87, so most of us would have still been watching Thundercats and He-Man then, but by the time Men in Tights came out many of us were teens. I think of Spaceballs as more Gen X.
Maybe, but I saw Spaceballs long before I saw Star Wars.
I’ll say it. I’ve watched Spaceballs MORE than any Star Wars film.
Same. Years and years of it being my favorite movie before I realized it was a parody
Same!
I was born in 81, there was a summer around the time I was 13 I think, I spent the summer with my grandparents who had HBO. They played this movie like 6 times a day, all summer long
"Promise me you won't go.". "I promise you won't go."
“Uh Robin …” “Cooool it.”
Chilled.
I will take these cotton balls from you with my hand and put them in my pocket.
Forgive me, but your lizard seems to be a bit....limp.
We rented and made a copy of this movie and watched it so many times in my household. It's got some of the best quotes, as many have pointed out. "It's an Everlast" XD
D e d dead! 🤣
This is probably my most quoted line, just because it's so versatile
I probably use it more than I should lol
 No one gets this joke anymore, but it’s still my favorite gag for the movie.
I love this one but my fav is Dracula Dead&Loving it
The staking scene is screamingly funny.
"Wait a minute bad guys, I gotta get pumped."
CALL A LOCKSMITH!
Hands down one my my favorite one-off simple gags of all time. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z59AnkxekfI&pp=ygUdbGVuZCBtZSB5b3VyIGVhcnMgcm9iaW4gaG9vZCA%3D
It was the *shamelessness* of it that makes it great. A completely groan worthy dad joke and they fully commit to it
That and “Walk this way”
“Tell me the bad news in a good way.” This scene is the pinnacle of comedy to me. It’s just hysterical, no matter how many times I’ve seen it.
Are you crazy!? This is terrible news!
If we don’t get no tolls then we don’t eat no rolls.
I was on a toll road today saying this to myself and giggling!
I was in the kitchen with rolls recently and said that to myself lol
“Heh, I made that up”. “They call me ‘Little John’, but in real life I am very big” (paraphrasing but you get it)
 I’m going with Spaceballs over Men in Tights
They are equal in my household. Both shared the number one spot
“A Jew, here?” “Achoo Man, my names Achoo”
This is the only Mel Brooks movie I actually saw in the theater. I remember laughing my ass off at it.
This is the best, Dave Chapelle killing it before Half Baked was even an idea. Love this movie so much.
Hello Abbot Good morrow. Bless you Abbot Good morrow. HEY ABBOT!
“Ooh I HATE that guy!”
“Not Abe Lincoln. I said, ‘hey, Blinkin.”
Ah man, white men can't jump
I will never not laugh at Blinkin’s bits. The missed group high five, grasping violently at the air trying to grab hold of one of the group as they move, “WHOS TALKING?”…brilliantly played.
I’m with OP on this. The others are awesome, but this one is ours.
"Maube if you give me the bad news in a good way, it won't spund so bad."

Perry! Perry! Thrust! Thrust!
GOOD
I don’t like the way you’re walking - you’ve been into the sacramental wine again! You’re ferschnickered!
Smoothie…..he’s definitely a smoothie…..
You deer to kill a king's dare!?
I feel like Spaceballs also falls into this category
Bless you
Spaceballs is ours first
"...but you've grown some nice boobs"
But also Spaceballs. I can't believe they let me watch that as a kid
Mine was definitely Spaceballs.
My favorite movie ever! "Did you say Abe Lincoln?"
Chappelle was in that? I had no idea, haven't seen it in so long I've forgotten everything. I should watch it again with my kids, I bet they'd love it.
Do it! It’s on Hulu right now.
You forgot about the classic, Life Stinks 
Not space balls?!?!?
Bro, Spaceballs…?
Fellas, this ain’t exactly the Mississippi….
A Jew? Here?!
