i subconsciously quoted this movie yesterday, and laughed like a hyena because i totally didn't realize i did it. this is one of my favorite parts of the movie-where blinkin is up on the lookout platform and robin walks up and says "hey blinkin, what ya up to?"

and blinkin says "guessing...i GUESS there's no one coming....."

for some reason that whole scenario is so damn funny to me.

most of my favorites include blinkin, probably because the fact that he's blind mixed with the fact that he doesn't seem to hear too well create some funny situations.

other favorites:

achoo: i'm achoo.
blinkin: A JEW!!??!

then there's the part where blinkin catches the arrow "i heard that coming a mile a way"
then robin says something and blinkin's like "excuse me? is someone talking?"

also, little john: blinkin, fix your boobs, you look like a bleedin' picasso!!

anyway, what are your favorite quotes from this hilarious movie?

Robin: "I lost? I'm not supposed to lose!"
(checks "Robin Hood: Men In Tights" script)
"Wait! I get another shot!"
Marian: "Does Robin get another shot?"
Sheriff and Prince John: (checking the script) "Yes, he does, he does"

Marian: "Oh if only it twere true it would be twere-refic!"

Broomhilda: "That happy little bluebird left a happy little doo doo on your hand"

Robin: "Who's with me yay or nay?
Villager: "Which one means yes?"
Robin: (rolls eyes) "Yay"

John: "You changed your name to Latrine?"
Latrine: "Yeah, used to be *beep*
John: "It's a good change"

Achoo: "Man white men can't jump"
"He's gonna deflower her in the tower!"

Horse: "She must be kidding!"

Visual gags:
- the camera crashing trough the window during Marian's song
- the cutout of the Sherrif's face changing
- Robin's long "sword" in shilloute
- England like the Hollywood sign
- locking the horse like a car

Really I could go on and on. My personal most quotable movie!

"Why should I be happy to be in her shadow?"
"Because it's HER shadow" - "Family Ties"

Robin Hood: Good people, who have travelled from villages near and far! Lend me your ears!
Robin Hood: [Crowd proceeds to pull off ears and throw them at Robin]
Robin Hood: That's disgusting!

Robin Hood: [trying to unlock the chastity belt] Um, darling?
Maid Marian: [in sultry voice] What?
Robin Hood: You're not going to believe this...
Maid Marian: What?
Robin Hood: It won't open!
Maid Marian: WHAT? (I know I left out the part where Robin says: Wait, I have an idea! Call a locksmith!, but that wasn't NEARLY as funny as the rest of that scene!!!!!)

Abbot: We are here to witness the marriage, of Mervin, the Sheriff of...
[crowd snickers]
Abbot: Mervin? Your name is Mervin?
Sheriff of Rottingham: [over crowd laughing] Shut up! Shut up!
Abbot: OK... Mervin.
[crowd starts laughing again]

Maid Marian: Broomhilde, there's a foul plot afoot.
Broomhilde: It's not my feet, I just washed them.

Prince John: I hope's it worth the NOISE!

And of COURSE when Broomhilde is on top of Little John (after he helps her down off her horse): "Oh, your so sweet. Is there anything i can do for you?" He then says: "Yeah, you can get off me?" She lets his head hit the ground and then he says: "I panicked!"

Robin - Are you with me, yay or neigh?!?
Villager - Which one means 'yes'?
Robin - Yay.

The first Mel Brooks movie I ever saw. Still very hilarious!! ^_^

NO, Kelly Clarkson!! - The 40 Year-Old Virgin

Robin - What an unusual child....

[–] gaeligefairie 17 years ago

I find myself saying "Ah, toasty varm!" in Broomhilde's accent a lot, even though that bit never seems to stick in my mind while I'm watching the movie. I like her line at the end: "Before you do it, you must go through it! Or else I blew it."

Also, Blinkin's "Oh, Master Robin! You lost your arms in battle! But you grew some nice boobs."

Rabbi Tuckman: "Wait a minute! There's things here! There's rocks, there's trees, there's birds, there's squirrels. Come on, we'll bless them all until we get vashnigyered"

Rabbi Tuckman: "Married in a hurry, married in a hurry. Please, invite me to the briss."

King Richard: "Hold this, Father."
Rabbi Tuckman: "Rabbi."
King Richard: "Whatever."

Rabbi Tuckman: "Here's your knife, Your Majesty."
King Richard: "Sword."
Rabbi Tuckman: "Whatever."

Little John: A toll is a toll, and a roll is a roll. And if we don't get no tolls, we don't get no rolls.

LOL. And I did notice Achoo slap the horse right on the mouth

I say let's evolve; let the chips fall where they may!

o, would that it t'were me...
o, if t'were you, t'would be...t'weriffic

but that would chafe my willy...

(in the song) we're men in tights/ *TIGHT* tights

because i, unlike other Robin Hoods, can speak with an english accent!

and the visual one wiht the hands through the grate at the beginning - they are groping and the guard hits them then they come bakc up again, giving him the finger

but that's just me.

"Are you sure? He looks like Mark Twain..."

and when the fat lady goes to whisper in her horse's ear and he smashes her in the face and runs away. I piss myself when that happens every damn time.

Prince John: Attention every one and one in all!...That's a little redundant, don't you think?
Trumpeter: What?
Prince John: SHUT UP!

Rottingham: "walk this way" *flicks hair and struts away*

Sheriff:"I peg your pardon sire, but didn't your mole used to be on the other side?"
Prince John:"I have a mole!"

The entire "Men in Tights" song.

Brumhilde:"No ding ding without the wedding ring!"

Will Scarlet:"I hope she's still wearing her iron underwear."

Favourite quote:

Asneeze and Robin have just used their strength of feet. The noise brings the prison guard back to see what's going on:

Asneeze: 'What you heard is the sound of this poor man's heart breaking'.
Robin: 'Uh, oh yes. Oooh ooh' (clutches fist to forehead). 'Oh, damn my eyes'.

That cracks me up every time...
