Just in case some of you that suffer from LOAFB (Lack of a Funny Bone).. here is the reason for the topic title:
BRAND: And in 1974, Mel Brooks used a shorter version of the line in "Blazing Saddles."
(Soundbite of movie, "Blazing Saddles")
Unidentified Man (Actor): (As Bandit) Badges? We don't need no stinking badges.
SMITH: And that's the form that became pop culture gold. On TV, all you have to do is place the word stinking in front of a noun and it brings the funny. John Belushi used it on "Saturday Night Live" as a trick-or-treating bee.
(Soundbite of show, "Saturday Night Live")
Unidentified Man (Actor): (As character) Here's some candy and who has the Unicef box?
Mr. BELUSHI: (As Gigantic Bee) We don't have no stinking Unicef. We are the killer bees!
Correction: 'Stinking Badges' and Movies : NPR
Here is where the sound bite orginated, Treasure of the Sierra Madre:
