As the fictional reviews of the fictional play said. "it was outrageous, offensive, and insulting, and I enjoyed every minute."

“don’t be stupid, be a smartie, come and join the nazi party”

"Watch out Europe were going on tour"

Making a swastika with your body has to be the al-time funniest dance move they could have thought of for this.

I had a weird dream about this being the german entry for Eurovision.

The whole movie was just an excuse to make this song.

"Well I never, talk about bad taste."

As Mel Brooks said

"Deutschland is happy and gay"

One thing that's not funny about this scene is the choreography - it's seriously well done.

This is why The Producers is one of the most brilliant comedies ever written. Make a scheme to made a musical as offensive as possible so that it bombs and run off with the money, but it accidently becomes a parody as a result of the content.

Fun fact: The original movie is the reason why Mel Brook's movies all have the same naming convention in Sweden. Spaceballs is Springtime for Space, Blazing Saddles is Springtime for the Sheriff, etc. Of course, The Producers was named after this song - Springtime for Hitler.

So, this is a movie, based on a musical, based on a movie, about a musical.

I can totally see what Benjamin meant when he said that fascism is an aestheticization of politics, the nazi imagery really looks made for stage performance.

Gary Beach nailed this scene so hard as the ultra-camp, gay Hitler. Holy shit, that opening limp-wrist pose...

nobody:

Damm the fbi are gonna think im nazi for watching this to many times

Nothing screams “We Won.” better than this.
