Oh sweet potatoes! You are DEPRIVED!

ESE is easy to see for me.

[tereg]

He's always reminded me of college football analyst Lee Corso:

Here's a collection of quotes from his movies:

• Blazing Saddles
  • "My name is Jim, most people call me... Jim."
  • "What in the wide, wide world of sports is a-goin' on here? Jumpin' around like a bunch of Kansas City ******s?"
  • "Excuse me while I whip this out."
• History of the World, Part I
  • Street Merchant:"Nothing, I have absolutely nothing for sale!"
  • "God has given us these fifteen- (after dropping one of the tablets)Oy. Ten-ten commandments!"
  • "I'm Josephus, and I'm the main course over at the Colosseum!"
• Robin Hood: Men in Tights
  • "Let's face it - you've got to be a man to wear tights!"
  • "Unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with a English accent."
  • "From this day forward, all toilets in this kingdom shall be known as...'John's'!"
• Spaceballs
  • "I see your schwartz is as big as mine."
  • "What's the matter Colonel Sandurz... chicken?!"

  • "How could this happen? I was so careful. I picked the wrong play, the wrong director, the wrong cast. Where did I go right?"
• Young Frankenstein
  • "My grandfather used to work for your grandfather. Of course the rates have gone up."
  • "He must have an enormous Schweinstucker!"
  • "Roll, roll, roll in ze hay!"

Attributed Quotes:

• Anybody can direct, but there are only eleven good writers.
• Bad taste is simply saying the truth before it should be said.
• I'm the only Jew that's made a nickel off of ******!
• I've been accused of vulgarity. I say that's bullshit.
• Look, I really don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive, you got to flap your arms and legs, you got to jump around a lot, you got to make a lot of noise, because life is the very opposite of death. And therefore, as I see it, if you're quiet, you're not living. You've got to be noisy, or at least your thoughts should be noisy and colorful and lively. [By the way, if this doesn't scream ESE, I don't know what does.]
• You're always a little disappointing in person because you can't be the edited essence of yourself.
• Good comedy is never frivolous. It’s based on human experience, on human adventure, on human feelings. So it has to be profound.
• Look at Jewish history. Unrelieved lamenting would be intolerable. So, for every ten Jews beating their breasts, God designated one to be crazy and amuse the breast-beaters. By the time I was five I knew I was that one.

No doubt about ESFj he is as ESFj as they come.
