Amazon seems to offer a Gold Box deal on Mel Brooks movies once a year or so, and I always feel compelled to highlight the deal, because Mel Brooks is hilarious. If you haven’t seen his movies—or if you’ve seen them but don’t yet own them—this is a great way to binge on the hilarity. Today only, you can get the Blu-ray collection for just $24, or the DVD set for $22. For die-hard fans, there’s also the “The Incredible Mel Brooks” DVD set with history, interviews, and clips from non-movie appearances.
And if you got through this entire post without hearing “It’s FRAHNKEN-SHTEEN” in your head, clearly you need more Mel Brooks in your life.
A serious moment….
In addition to being a mensch, Mel Brooks is a living comedy legend. For young people who are interested in a career writing for the entertainment industry, studying his work (and casting) is a must.
And for improving quality of life, providing pain relief, encouraging relaxation, and reducing stress. try laughter (humor) therapy with Mel Brooks’ films and tv shows. Those guffaw out loud moments of image and sound can stay with you for life, and that’s a good thing. http://www.cancer.org/treatment/treatmentsandsideeffects/complementaryandalternativemedicine/mindbodyandspirit/humor-therapy
