Young Frankenstein/YMMV

• Crowning Moment of Awesome: The Musical takes the "Puttin' On The Ritz" scene from The Movie and cranks it up to eleven, turning it into a massive Busby Berkeley Number with Frau Blücher as Master of Ceremonies, Igor and Inga in the mix, and 25 dancing monsters!!!
• Crowning Music of Awesome: Most of the songs in the musical are light hearted and silly, but Life, life really drove home the dramatic feel of the classic science-horror.
• Cult Classic
• Memetic Mutation: This is where the Dramatic Chipmunk music comes from, when they first look up as the castle.
  • Also, I dare you to listen to a normal version of "Puttin' On The Ritz" without doing an impression of Peter Boyle as the Monster.
• So Cool Its Awesome: Was a big hit when it came out, and is still considered a comedy classic. For Mel Brooks fans, either this or Blazing Saddles is his best work. In the commentary Brooks states that he thinks this is not only his best work, but the best for many other people respects.
• Tear Jerker: See Soundtrack Dissonance; the music is incredibly moving.
  • Also, The Monster's speech after Frederick's personal sacrifice. Of course, there's Mood Whiplash afterward with Inspector Kemp.
  • The DVD commentary. Brooks starts crying during the credits over all the friends he has since lost.
