Gene Wilder is definitely one of the funniest people on the planet. I was actually just recently looking for the clip that comes right before this, where the guy tells him that he's in love with a sheep, and Gene Wilder just looks stunned for something like 30 seconds before he even says anything. It's one of the funniest reactions ever. Can't seem to find it anywhere, though.

Okay 'yall ...Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor...this is a classic, and realistically the only three minutes of the movie worth watching ~ lol ~ so show some love and let's sift this thing!

I may be in the minority here, but I thought this movie was absolutely horrible. I'm a Depp fan, but all I could do was cringe at his performance while watching this movie. The original, with Gene Wilder, was SO much better.

Thanks for that, MLX. I think this is one of the best bits ever. To think that Mel Brooks thought it stunk and wanted to cut it, but it only stayed in on Gene Wilder's insistence!

One of the most memorable film clips ever. Thanks, Mr. Boyle.”

The YouTube uploader says it is from "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex." Woody Allen directed the movie which was released in 1971.


Netflix description:

Questions from Dr. David Reuben's once-controversial book of the same name are turned into seven silly Woody Allen-penned vignettes featuring Allen as a cowardly sperm, Gene Wilder as a man who falls head-over-hooves in love with a sheep named Daisy, John Carradine as a scientist who creates a 50-foot-tall breast, and Regis Philbin guessing the strange sexual habits of game-show contestants.


The cast also includes:

John Carradine, Lou Jacobi, Louise Lasserm Anthony Quayle, Tony Randall, Lynn Redgrave and Burt Reynolds


This needs one more channel:

Love Gene Wilder.

Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and The Producers - the original with Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel, not the tepid remake- are right there near the top of the list of the funniest movies ever made. Love it.

Excellent indeed... Gene Wilder + Ballmer is good fun
