I'm watching Blazing Saddles and I got to wondering if I enjoyed the Mel Brooks classics or the Monty Python movies best.
I can't really decide. "Don't know. Mongo only pawn in game of life."

You watch your ass! As much as I love Monte Python, The Holy Grail and Life of Brian are the only movies I really watch over and over. But I'll watch a Mel Brooks flick any time I see one on the tube. Comic genius he is. |

I voted for Mel but honestly both are great and in my opinion as others stated they are a little different style
another answer should have been "Get both"

Brooks reminds me of some sleazy, no-talent, lounge lizard stand-up comic with a drum set behind him for the punch lines.

The fact the poll is limited to movies affects the results.
There are only three canon Monty Python movies I can think of (Hollywood Bowl and Completely different don't really count, skit performances from the TV show) ETA: I know every work to "The Philosphers Song" and I voted Brooks Movies |

Completely different style of Comedy. Personally, I think British humor is kinda strange.
I prefer American brand of Comedy, so I will go with Mel Brooks. His movies are always great. However, that isn't to say movies like Monty Python Holy Grail aren't classics. |

Mel Brooks is hit or miss. Sometimes he knocks it out of the park. A lot of times he strikes out.
Everything from the Monty Python troupe is absolutely golden. They're both quotable for miles. |

Blazing Saddles is the funniest movie ever made. Monty Python stuff is top grade, but Brooks has a slight edge over them.

There's a big variety. I've always written off the opinion of anyone who equates Monty Python with Benny Hill as unrefined, and not worthy of consideration. |
