#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

What happens to Mongo after the candy-gram scene in Blazing Saddles?

What a correct answer would look like:

After the candy-gram scene in the theatrical release of Blazing Saddles, Mongo survives the explosion (which leaves him covered in soot) and is subdued. He later appears in the jail, where he pledges loyalty to Sheriff Bart, delivering the famous line: "Mongo no go. Mongo stay with Sheriff Bart. Sheriff first man ever whip Mongo. Mongo impressed. Have deep feelings for Sheriff Bart." He subsequently helps Bart and the Waco Kid build the fake Rock Ridge (specifically the tollbooth) and fights alongside the townspeople in the final brawl. In some TV versions, a deleted scene shows Bart tricking Mongo into diving into a well for "Spanish doubloons" (which Mongo hears as "balloons"); Bart defeats him in this sequence by stopping the air pump, claiming it is his lunch break.

What the LLM said (errors and omissions annotated)

Following the candy-gram scene in Blazing Saddles, Mongo is not killed, but is instead subdued, survives, and has a change of allegiance to become a supporter of Sheriff Bart.

Here are the specific details of what happens to Mongo in the theatrical release of the film:

Subdued by the Explosion: Sheriff Bart, dressed as a Western Union messenger, delivers a package—the "Candygram for Mongo!"—which is actually an explosive. Mongo, who "like[s] candy," opens the box, which detonates in his face. The explosion temporarily knocks him unconscious.
Change of Loyalty: After the explosion, Mongo is later seen in Sheriff Bart's office, where he expresses his newfound loyalty to the sheriff. He states that Bart is the first man to ever defeat him ("whip Mongo") and that he is impressed, leading him to develop "deep feelings" for the Sheriff.
- Mongo's line to Bart is: "Mongo no go. Mongo stay with Sheriff Bart. Sheriff Bart first man ever whip Mongo. Mongo impressed. Have deep feelings for Sheriff Bart."
Joins the Good Guys: Mongo officially switches sides and becomes an ally to Sheriff Bart and Jim, the Waco Kid.
The Final Showdown: In the film's climax, Mongo participates in the construction of the fake town set up to ambush Hedley Lamarr's incoming gang. During the resulting massive, anachronistic brawl, Mongo is an active participant on the side of Rock Ridge's townspeople against Lamarr's villainous army.

Note on Alternate/Deleted Scenes:

For specific detail, it is worth noting that some television airings and alternate versions of Blazing Saddles included a deleted scene where Sheriff Bart attempts to capture Mongo again after the candy-gram incident by convincing him to go deep-sea diving in the town well for "Spanish doubloons." In this extended sequence, Bart defeats Mongo by cutting the air hose to his diving suit as a joke, claiming it's time for his lunch break. However, his ultimate fate in all versions is the change of heart and alliance with Bart.
