These Blazing Saddles quotes will make you laugh the whole way through.

The Mel Brooks comedy, Blazing Saddles, is famous for one liners that toe the line. In the western parody, no one is safe from being burned as the jokes attack at everyone.

While the language may have been in good nature at the time, a film like Blazing Saddles wouldn’t survive the box office in the modern era.

Still, Blazing Saddles is an outrageous film that will make you laugh the whole way through. These are some of the best quotes from the film’s best characters.
