Hedy (It's Hedley!) Lamarr: "Oh, Lily you're magnificent! Kiss me!"

The line is not that funny in itself, but Harvey Korman's delivery is impeccable, and followed by him smacking his teeth right into the back of the head of Lily is just pure comedic gold.

Harvey Korman in this movie is one of the best comedic performances I've ever seen.

can't believe one of the best throwaway lines has been missed here:

I can't believe these haven't been mentioned.

Governor - "Work, work, work." Turns to secretaries breasts - "Hello boys"

During the fighting scene near the end when the guy starts slapping the cowboy's chest screaming, "Brute! You big brute!" Then starts crying while the cowboy consoles him. That cracks me up every time!

Delicious must be heaven to the hungry in hell.

Our town is turning into [insert word that means fæces but rhymes with 'quit']."

"... a Laurel, and Hardy handshake"

From Men in Tights:
"A black sheriff!?"
"Why not - it worked in 'Blazing Saddles'!"

Reverend Johnson: Now I don't have to tell you good folks what's been happening in our beloved little town. Sheriff murdered, crops burned, stores looted, people stampeded, and cattle raped. The time has come to act, and act fast. I'm leaving.
