Young Frankenstein is my favorite Mel Brooks movie, but, one of my favorite parts from Blazing Saddles
Dancers- "YESSSSS!"
Dom Deluise- "Sounds like steam escaping!"
For some reason, I always hear it in my mind with a lisp"Thounds like theam ethcaping!"

Um yes it does. To recycle something means you borrowed an old joke like, say, in Robin Hood Men IN Tights (bad movie) the mole was moving around like Igor's hump was. But how can you recycle a joke when both movies were from the same time?

No it does not, age has nothing to do with it.
Recycle means to simply to use again in the original form or with minimal alteration.

Yeah like I said. And that is age. If you "reuse" something that means the first time it was used was older than when it was reused, hence the "re". And if both movies were from 1974 Brooks wasn't reusing anything.
Again, J McClane, get off my nuts.

You are a complete moron. Recycling is processing used materials (waste) into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials. It has NOTHING to do with being an old joke or age. They used a joke in one film then turned around in another film they were making and did the same joke. That IS recycling a joke. The films do not have to be years apart or even months.

To hiss at someone in a theater is to communicate dissaproval from the audience to the communicator/actor/performer on stage. Older crowds would recognize and the humor of the the scene was much more relavent 38 years ago.

I've always assumed that the hissing was the audience's way of letting Frederick know that they didn't like him (because of what his ancestors had done) and wanted him to get off the stage. Also, I took the "scientits' "theory" as a joke (though it WOULD be pretty funny if Freddy really HAD almost called his colleagues "scientits"!).
