'You Know ... Morons'

If you’ve never watched much of Gene Wilder films, do yourself a favor and queue up whatever you can on your streaming service. The actor was a brilliant improviser, and this moment in Blazing Saddles showed how creative he could be.
When Sheriff Bart (Cleavon Little) discovers that the townspeople are just as racist to him even though he’s now law enforcement, Jim the “Waco Kid” (Wilder) consoles him with a little humor. “You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know … morons.” Wilder added in, “You know … morons” to the script and it caused Little to actually burst out laughing. You can even see Little look at the crew, wondering if his laugh ruined the shot. It actually made the scene perfect.
