Play This When You're Blue

A bit of trivia about the great Peter Boyle: Who was the best man at his wedding?

Answer: John Lennon. Boyle met Lennon through his wife, Lorraine Alterman, who was a reporter at Rolling Stone and a friend of Yoko Ono.

Boyle died yesterday at 71, one year shy of his 30th wedding anniversary.

The below clip from Young Frankenstein is two minutes and twenty-eight seconds of perfection. I've seen it a hundred times, and it will make me laugh every single time, and often out loud.

Question for America: Does the fickle audience in this clip remind you of anything?
