Dr. Frederick Frankenstein
Instead of being a direct parody ofFrankenstein, Young Frankenstein is actually a sequel to the original story, picking up with Victor Frankenstein's grandson. When Wilder first pitched the idea for Young Frankenstein to Brooks, Brooks was reluctant to commit to the project because the Mary Shelley classic had already been adapted so many times. Brooks told the L.A. Timesthat Wilder suggested the idea of the grandson of Frankenstein being ashamed of his lineage and its ties to these deranged...
Igor
While there are so many hilarious actors in the movie, Marty Feldman steals the show as the lab assistant Igor who has a very noticeable lump on his back.Though such a character was never involved in Mary Shelley's original story, he has become a well-known part of the lore with this comedic take being one of the most memorable versions. When Dr. Frankenstein meets his assistant, he kindly tells him, Igor’s deadpan reply denies the existence of his hump. Legend has it that the running joke of...
Frau Blücher
Frau Blücher is overly accommodating when Dr. Frankenstein arrives to stay with her. He’s tired after his trip and heads to bed, so she offers him a brandy. When he turns that down, she offers him some warm milk. When he turns that down, she offers him some Ovaltine. Finally, Frankenstein snaps and says, “Nothing!! Thank you." in an attempt to put an end to the questions for good. It is a common landmark of Mel Brooks' period movies that he is completely willing to be historically inaccurate...
Inga
Most movie incarnations of the Frankenstein story don’t address the question of the monster’s genitalia, but Young Frankenstein finds it the perfect subject for some gags. Frankenstein explains that the process will mean that various parts of the monster's body will be enlarged due to the process of bringing it to life. When Inga says that the monster should have “an enormous schwanzschtücker,” Dr. Frankenstein quips, “That goes without saying.” Mel Brooks' humor in his spoof movies never rel...
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein
Like many of the best spoof movies, Young Frankenstein thoroughly enjoys poking fun at the famous story, but it is also clear that the filmmakers have a great deal of respect for some of the incarnations that came before. The title character in Young Frankenstein utters his grandfather’s catchphrase from the Universal Monsters classic that inspired Brooks’ spoof.When his monster sparks to life, he proudly declares it to be alive. “It’s alive!” from the original 1931 James Whale-helmed Franken...
Igor
As memorable of a character as Igor is, his performance as a lab assistant leaves something to be desired. He willingly goes along with Frankenstein's work, but his intelligence makes him a bit of a bumbling partner in the process. Without his dimness, the experimentation might have gone very differently. In fact, Igor is largely responsible for how the monster turns out once he is brought to life. After Frankenstein gives Igor specific instructions for which brain to take for the experiment,...
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein
Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder's take on the horror genre feels like it is a playground for the two comedic geniuses, as they are clearly having fun with the tropes and clichés of the genre. One such element is the hidden doorways in the creepy castle. While it is a gimmick that has been seen endlessly in such movies, Young Frankensteinturns it into a brilliant sight gag and a bit of physical humor to make the scene all the more memorable. After accidentally triggering the swinging secret door by...
Igor
Igor becomes such an entertaining character in Young Frankenstein that the audience would likely not mind if the whole movie was about him.However, even as a supporting character, Igor is able to share some funny details about himself and his questionable past. While reminiscing about his father, Igor remembers all the things he used to tell him, and it seems that the most memorable fatherly words he gave to him were wondering why he was taking up so much time in the bathroom. It is such a ra...
Blind Hermit
Gene Hackman makes a hilarious cameo appearance in Young Frankenstein as the blind hermit who takes in the monster and unwittingly scares him away.Though the kind elderly man is just trying to be hospitable, his attempts prove dangerous as he pours hot soup into the monster's lap and lights his hand on fire. As the monster flees from his house, the hospitable hermit rushes out and tries to lure him back with the promise of coffee. Apparently, Hackman ad-libbed this line and the reason the sce...
Igor
Marty Feldman nails the comic timing of all his lines in Young Frankenstein. Usually, when a character notices danger up ahead, they’ll offer to lead the way and face the music. However, when Igor mentions that what lies ahead could be treacherous, he encourages his master to go first. The line really lands because of Feldman’s perfectly timed pause before saying, “You go first.” As much as Igor can seem like a bumbling fool at times,he is at least smart enough to understand the concept of se...
