How dare you compare Blazing Saddles to Waynes Brothers movies? They aren't even in the same solar system, much less the same league. Spoofs have been around for ages, but they used to be filled with jokes, satire and actual comedy. Now they are filled with "Oh look, this character has the same outfit on as another character in a popular movie. I recognize that line of dialogue, so I guess I should laugh now."
The Waynes movies have killed the concept of spoofing a genre with their desperation and lack of creativity. In my earlier post I wasn't suggesting that they invented it. Only that they had destroyed it.
