After years of hearing of the short narrated by Mel Brooks as a very old man, I finally got to see The Critic on YouTube. All that abstraction and Brooks as an 81-year-old Jewish man from Russia about to die soon has got me in stitches! And that harpsichord music! If you've only known Brooks as the co-creator of "Get Smart" or the director of such movie classics as The Producers, The Twelve Chairs, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankinstein, and Spaceballs (I know some might dispute the last title) or as the 2,000-year-old man with straight man Carl Reiner, then I highly recommend you seek out The Critic on YouTube and hope someone puts it out on DVD soon! Also recommended to animation buffs especially Ernie Pintoff fans.
