History YMMV / YoungFrankenstein

* OneSceneWonder: Creator/GeneHackman as the blind hermit.
-->"Come back! I was going to make espresso!"

** Like many of Brooks' films, it's a massive FountainOfMemes.

* OneSceneWonder: Gene Hackman as the blind hermit.

* BrokenBase: Was TheMusical a worthy adaptation ''and'' successor to ''Film/TheProducers'', or a lame corporate shill [[WereStillRelevantDammit attempting to keep Mel Brooks relevant]]?
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: From TheMusical, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofhKUGiKH78 "Life, Life"]] really stands out as a genuinely dramatic and impressive number among all the silliness.

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: TheMusical did some impressive lighting effects, such as flying sparks during "Life, Life" and the rear-projected CGI forrest during "Roll In The Hay."

* MagnumOpus: Was a big hit when it came out, and is still considered a comedy classic. For Mel Brooks fans, either this or ''Film/BlazingSaddles'' 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.
** Most people also consider this to be Gene Wilder's as well.

* NightmareFuel: The MoodWhiplash of the corrupt policeman who tormented The Monster with fire ForTheEvulz

* MisaimedMarketing: Somehow, the "Puttin' On the Ritz" number turned up on the kid-targeted ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}} Sing-Along''/''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'s Music Box Favorites'' video.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: TheMusical takes [[CrowningMomentOfFunny the "Puttin' On The Ritz" scene]] from TheMovie and cranks it [[UpToEleven up to eleven]], turning it into a massive BusbyBerkeleyNumber with Frau Blücher as Master of Ceremonies, Igor and Inga in the mix, ''[[http://youtu.be/SwLAdWPjZsg and 25 dancing monsters!!!]]''
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: 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.

* SugarWiki/SoCoolItsAwesome: Was a big hit when it came out, and is still considered a comedy classic. For Mel Brooks fans, either this or ''Film/BlazingSaddles'' 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.

* CompleteMonster: The policeman while The Monster was imprisoned [[FauxAffablyEvil who first acted like pals to The Monster]] then tormented him with his weakness of fire ForTheEvulz, not because he viewed him as a freak, but saw him as a little boy. Thankfully, he's implied to have been killed immediately afterwards

* CultClassic

* WhamLine: Frankenstein was almost finished giving half of his mind to the monster, the rioters come in to kill him. It seems as though they were a minute too late....
--> [[spoiler: '''Monster:''']] PUT THAT MAN DOWN!!!!

** 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.
