    Clearly, Mel Brooks is the most overrated actor-director that has ever had any sort of success making films in the history of Western Civilization!

    Mel Brooks has such an ingenious mind for comedy. I can't think of any other comic director who has through at least three generations of an audience and win there laughs. Kudos to you Mel Brooks!
