I just keep on hearing it in places where they mock Nazis. I woulda thought Monty Python did it, but I guess I was wrong.

Pretty much.
The United Colonies of Earth exists:
to encourage settlement of all habitable worlds in the Galaxy and perhaps the Universe by the human race;
to ensure that human rights are respected, with force if necessary, and that all nations recognize the inevitable and unalienable rights of all human beings regardless of their individual and harmless differences, or Idiosyncrasies;
to represent the interests of all humankind to other sapient species;
to protect all humanity and its’ colonies from unneeded violence or danger;
to promote technological advancement and scientific achievement for the happiness, knowledge and welfare of all humans;
and to facilitate cooperation in the spheres of law, transportation, communication, and measurement between nation-states.

It's from the movie "the producers" done by Mel brooks. The first one is the better one.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

Watch it. Watch The Producers, Young Frankenstein, and Blazing Saddles. Mel Brooks classics all three, and all masterful pieces of comedy. You don't get anything close to as well well crafted these days.

It's so weird to watch Blazing saddles on tv. They censor the word "nigger", that's the whole point.

I am a huge Gene Wilder fan. I only know Mostel from the Producers (to be fair, my cinematic experience in general is limited), but his performance there was impeccable.

The bigger budget for the remake just didn't add that much, and it couldn't compare to the older casting. It wasn't a movie that really profited from having a better technical backing. Both are still exceptionally good, all in all, but the remake is a timeless work of art.
