A running gag in the film involves the front page of Variety magazine: headlines about the making of "Silent Movie" periodically appear onscreen, with apparently gibberish headlines for other articles ("Pix Tix Nix Mix", "Boff Noff Toff Roff", etc.) lower down the page. Mel Brooks is making fun of the jargon Variety writers used to use ("auds" meaning audiences, "nabes" meaning neighborhood theaters, and so on).
