I've seen a couple over the years: Robin Hood, Twelve Chairs, Blazing Saddles, and most recently Spaceballs. I found them all funny, theoretically, but they rarely got an open laugh out of me. It seems like most of the time this is just because the comedic timing makes every joke or funny bit land very awkwardly, or with just a bit too much space to leave room for any subtlety or reward for the watcher.
I feel like I remember the few I saw as a kid being funnier at that time. Is it just because my brain has been attention-poisoned with the rapid fire wit of modern comedic television?
all those lesser spoof comedies (wayan's brothers stuff, scary movie and clones) that came out in the 90s and early 00s probably helped with the poisoning.
watching Mel brooks movies for me is like reading Shakespeare my brain needs about 30 minutes to reset to the pacing and comedic language.

yes! thank you for confirming the thing i've been saying since i saw it recently and told my partner it was like watching Medieval Movie 3
felt like it was mass produced at the shitty comedy factory
I kinda feel that. Watched it as a kid and loved it. Watched it recently and it was a little painful.
