When Frederick begins speaking in front of the audience of scientists, he says:
"My fellow scien-"
(someone in audience): SSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Frederick (pause) : "tists"
I never really understood what that part meant, other than being just a random little funny moment? -

Yep. Same as booing. Boo! Hiss! I think hissing is more of a European phenomenon. Obviously hissing here makes a nice, quick audio gag. Sets the tone for the reception Frankenstein's probably going to get. It's a tough house.

I would suggest that the comedy line is 'tists' following the straight line the 'hiss'.
so what is funny about that? the scientists boo him and he calls them scient-tits, albeait for subtlety pronounces it correctly with the pause as the only clue. I actually havent seen it but guess the 'tists' is short abrubt and as it were spat out. -

I wonder if it is also a recycled gag from Blazing Saddles where Dom Deluise's character asks the fags if they've got the dance now and they all go, "YESSSSS!" It is like the S gets stretched out or something.

Young Frankenstein is my favorite Mel Brooks movie, but, one of my favorite parts from Blazing Saddles
Dancers- "YESSSSS!"
Dom Deluise- "Sounds like steam escaping!"
For some reason, I always hear it in my mind with a lisp"Thounds like theam ethcaping!"

Um yes it does. To recycle something means you borrowed an old joke like, say, in Robin Hood Men IN Tights (bad movie) the mole was moving around like Igor's hump was. But how can you recycle a joke when both movies were from the same time?

No it does not, age has nothing to do with it.
Recycle means to simply to use again in the original form or with minimal alteration.

Yeah like I said. And that is age. If you "reuse" something that means the first time it was used was older than when it was reused, hence the "re". And if both movies were from 1974 Brooks wasn't reusing anything.
Again, J McClane, get off my nuts.

You are a complete moron. Recycling is processing used materials (waste) into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials. It has NOTHING to do with being an old joke or age. They used a joke in one film then turned around in another film they were making and did the same joke. That IS recycling a joke. The films do not have to be years apart or even months.
