    Jonathan Winters: This is a GIRL's bike! This bike is for a little girl!

    Phil Ford: Now men.... (and everything he says in the landing scene is gold, among the BEST scenes of the whole show IMO!)

    The band Steel Pole Bath Tub also included a Dick Shawn line in one of their songs:

    Watched this again on New Year's Eve with our youngest and her boyfriend, who had never seen it. So damn funny every single time.

    While Achtung Baby makes it pretty obvious that Bono saw Dick Shawn's hilarious performance in The Producers, his on-stage ad-lib in Rattle & Hum—"Am I buggin' you?"— always made me made me wonder if he'd also seen Shawn as Sylvester in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

    I’m guessing that when he floated that album title one of the other guys in the band said “Don’t call me baby!”

    I haven't read the whole thread, but I have to say that while I enjoyed the movie, I prefer Blake Edwards The Great Race, which came out shortly after IIRC. "Push the button, Max," is a mantra for me.

    I haven't read through the entire thread to see if this came up, but does anyone know if it's true that this was the last movie President Kennedy screened at the White House in November 1963?

    JFK never saw it.
    The last movie Kennedy screened at the White House was 55 Days at Peking on November 10th.
