Today's funnies take a trip into the past with videos, namely clips of work done by Mel Brooks. This first one, posted by cujofriend, is the Unemployment Insurance scene from "History of the World, Part I." Note that the clerk is played by Bea Arthur, one of the "Golden Girls."

From the same movie comes this scene, centered on the time of the French Revolution and featuring Harvey Korman. It was posted by AnasAbdinCreation.

Then there's Madelaine Kahn as the Empress in "History of the World..." Be warned: PC sensibilities about race were not as refined in 1981. This was posted by TheCinemaVampire.

And finally, because everyone should have the chance to see the original routine by Abbott and Costello, here's "Who's on 1st." This video was first recorded sometime between 1950 and 1955; it was uploaded by paulheston. Wait for it -- let the dancers do their thing...
