The 1993 movie Robin Hood: Men in Tights is my favorite Mel Brooks directed comedy. This movie is a spoof on the original Robin Hood story. Throughout the movie there are numerous jokes made about other Robin Hood movies. The beginning of the movie starts with a small village burning. One of the villagers complains that every time a Robin Hood movie is made they burn down their village. There are many other jokes along these lines made at many different points during the movie.
