Science
With all the issues of identity and insanity, it's easy to forget that the main character of Young Frankenstein is a scientist.
Scientists conjure up images of intelligence and stability. Must be those white lab coats. We imagine that many scientists hope to find the secret to eternal life. It probably doesn't involve stitching body parts together and waiting for a thunderstorm to pass through, but the thought is probably on the mind of anyone searching for cancer cures or anti-aging techniques. Both Frankenstein and Young Frankenstein are more science fiction than straight-up science, but that's only because none of it has actually happened… yet.
The movie shows us that scientists can be ridiculous, and can be driven by things other than scientific curiosity.
The fine line between real science and its dark side is what makes the movie creepy and hilarious.
