History Awesome / YoungFrankenstein

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: 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.

-->'''Frederick:''' ''My name...is...FRANKENSTEIN!''

* TheMusical cranks the "Putting on the Ritz" scene {{up to eleven}}, turning it into a massive BusbyBerkeleyNumber with Frau Blücher ('''''NEIGH''''') as Master of Ceremonies, Igor and Inga in the mix, ''[[http://youtu.be/SwLAdWPjZsg and 25 dancing monsters!!!]]''

* ''Young Frankenstein'' finds its Crowning Moment when Frederick, alone with the Creature, first panics - then finds his senses and tells the monster how wonderful it is. As he comforts his now-crying creation, his revived passion to show the world what he - ''they'' - have and will accomplish builds and builds, and he finally embraces his heritage:

** Even before that, the soundtrack of the film, particularly that violin motif, is played straight and would fit perfectly in a serious movie.

* Frederick gets some Fridge Awesome, if you accept the deleted will scene as canon. Baron Beaufort von Frankenstein's will was recorded when the Baron was 83 years old, and was instructed to be played for his beneficiaries on his 100th birthday, which is when the inheritances will finally be assigned. This is a difference of 17 years. The record notes that at the time of recording, Frederick is all of ten years old. In order to get the Baron's inheritance, he must not only become a medical doctor, but an eminent voice in that field, which the Executor notes that he has, by virtue of being the fifth leading voice of expertise in the field of brain surgery. An impressive feat for someone who can only be 27 years old, a point when most doctors are only a few years out of medical school.

* Meta for the entire production. Mel Brooks stuck to his guns to make the best AffectionateParody possible, insisting it be filmed in black & white, and the budget be sufficient to provide the same tall, gothic style sets as the original.

* "So this is where it all began..." And then the camera pans to show the original iconic sets from the classic Universal films. AffectionateParody is a massive understatement.

* ChewingTheScenery or not, Gene Wilder with his "LIFE! LIIIFE DO YOU HEAR ME?! GIVE MY CREATION '''LIIIIIIIIIIIFE'''!" is so over the top that it passes ham and goes right into iconic.

* Igor's best moment is an unforgettable scene that took forever to shoot as the production crew couldn't stop laughing. Frankenstein, Igor and Inga meet Elizabeth as she arrives at the castle:
-->'''Frederick:''' Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags (luggage)?
-->'''Igor, imitating Groucho Marx:''' Certainly. You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban! (bites Elizabeth's mink scarf)

** On the subject of that scene, consider the muscle control and memory needed to perform a song and dance routine such as that. Sure it might not seem it, but the monster earlier could hardly walk and only make groaning sounds. To learn to move and sing as much as he did, not to mention memorize it all, shows that he can do pretty well even with an "Abby Normal" brain.

* "PUTTING ON THE RIITZZZ!" *stomp stomp*

* The Monster's {{Shaming The Mob}} speech after gaining intelligence, with Peter Boyle throwing an effective dramatic performance right in the middle of all the goofiness.
