I mean, in Marauders, moving that encampment, that was completely shameless.

Re: Did Bermaga ever apologise for ripping off Blazing Saddl
It would have been a tip if Tucker said "Hey, didn't I see this at Movie Night last week?" or something referencing Blazing Saddles even obscurely as the source.
Have you seen Battle Beyond the Stars? Now THAT's the Magnificent Seven in Space... but then the DS9 "The Magnificent Ferengi" was already had Star trek explore that subject... Though Maruaders is other western completely, maybe a Fist Full of Dollars?
Berman and Braga are listed as the writers of this episode, so this wasn't some rube pitching their one best idea for a once in a life time opportunity... Can you say filler?

O, I don't mean apologize to us... I mean to Mr. Brooks.
If only there really was a Jewish Maffia.

As it was? Eh, not so much.
If he'd had a fake tollbooth set up, and had Korok tell one of his underlings to "go back to the ship and get a shitload of credits" -- if he'd done something like that -- then it would have been shameless.

No, Marauders is definitely "Magnificent Seven" (bandits prey on village, seven main characters come to save them) whilst "Magnificent Ferengi" (hostage exchange) just spoofed the name and the recruiting of the seven.

I find the defining issue to the Magnificent Seven, or the Seven Samurai or the Three Amigo's or Galaxy Quest was to have been that lone villager escaping the bandits lock down to head out into the larger world to find heroes to save day who unfortunately turned out to drunks, charlatans and rogues who then had to rise to the occasion to live up to their own hype. There was no collection of heroes in Marauders, Archer just "rode" into town with his posse and dispensed frontier justice.
No biggy.

So Reed was talking about the music coming out of her ass when he said T'Pol had a nice bum?

I always liked the line "they killed our women and raped our cattle."
This I could see the klingon's doing.

I can tell you that Berman's sense of humor did not run to Brooks type of films. Sometims I doubted that he had any type of humor at all. He sure as hell never showed it at work. The writers use to hum the Darth Vader theme when he would walk down a hall and he did not even know what it was.
