Mel Brooks Receives The Medal Of Arts Then Pretends To Pull Down President Obama's Pants

I’m not gonna sit here and pretend I know everything about Mel Brooks cause I don’t. To my generation, and especially to the generation under me, Mel Brooks is one of the guys people talk about on comedy podcasts as a legend. It’s always him and Carl Reiner (who my generation knows as Saul from the Oceans movies). I know Mel directed classics such as The Producers, Blazing Saddles and Space Balls. I know he’s considered one of the funniest dudes ever. Which is pretty clear because who the hell tries to pull down the president’s pants? Mel Brooks does. 90 years old and still out there trying to make people laugh. President Obama laughed. Well he laughed after he probably had a heart attack cause he thought Mel was actually having a heart attack and dying right in front of him but he laughed nonetheless.
