Mel Brooks stole a gag from Tex Avery

This being Tex Avery's 115th birthday, I'd like to use this time and bandwidth to point out a small observation I've made regarding Mel Brooks. It's in the video embedded below. 

 This is not accusatory in any way.  Mr. Brooks has done nothing wrong.  As the motto goes: "if you must steal, steal from the best".  That is all Mel has done here.  He has recognized that Tex Avery is a tremendous source of great and clever gags from which to steal.  There are many MANY examples of gags and concepts "borrowed" from Tex Avery.  It would be great to go searching for them on this day of his birth.......... and every other day of the year as well.
