That's a 40 year old joke at this point. I'm pretty sure Mel Brooks has more pride in his work than to repeatedly himself. Unless it was truly funny.

    Combing the desert is repeating an old joke too.

    If I were to defend it, I'd say that the joke in this case is that they're still combing the desert 40 years later, which adds a little new humour to it.

    Not sure I really want to defend it, though. Can't say this poster excites me. But it would excite me less if the subtitle were a purely nostalgia driven reference as well.

    Nah, if i hear him personally saying "ain't found shit" for a second time, 40 years older, i will die in peace.

    A lot of his later movies were just repeated jokes from his older ones. Men in Tights reused a bunch of old gags, including the title song, which was "Jews in Space" from the epiloge of History of the World Part 1.
