Mel Brooks (the director) played Yogurt and President Scroob. He's Jewish, not Italian. 😁 The actor who had the alien burst out of him was John Hurt, the same actor from Alien who "birthed" the chestburster. That's why he says "not again". Mel Brooks has a lot of great movies. Be sure to come back to him for more. Also, Planet of the Apes is a must-see classic!
> he’s Jewish, not Italian Which is important to know, because he inserts so many jokes that would either be inscrutable or uncomfortable if we weren’t aware why.
most reactors fails to notice the princes name. valium, thats why he is allways looking like he is going to fall asleep. And the apes on the horses is a reference to the original planet of the apes from the 1960`s
The only way Spaceballs was allowed to be made is that George Lucas asked that no merchandising was created which is why they have that part in the movie.
Galexy Quest is a fun space comedy with Tim Allen, Alan Rickman and Sigourney Weaver. It's a really fun silly comedy about actors who now do conventions and really don't have any other acting gigs after their show was canceled. So much fun.😂😂
For sure. I never saw Alien (a few scenes here and there as a kid when somebody else would be watching it, but that's it), so definitely didn't recognize the guy. As a result, I always found that line to be very strange, and never understood what it was supposed to mean. My only conclusion was that this same thing had happened to him before at that restaurant, and he somehow survived. But that never seemed like much of a joke.
In the Mr Rental scene, you see all of Mel Brooks' previous movies. The most popular are The Producers, Blazzing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and Robin Hood Men in Tights. But all of them are enjoyable.
"We're not just doing this for money! We're doing it for a SHIT LOAD of money!" That's a good enough reason. 😎 👍 Fun Fact: The Millennium Falcon from the Star Wars saga makes a cameo appearance in this movie. Take a close look at the exterior shot of the Space Diner, and it can be spotted parked there among the other space vehicles. George Lucas got a chance to read the screenplay before production began, and loved it so much that he decided to have his special effects company, Industrial Light & Magic, help make this movie. Bonus Fact: The castle on the planet Druidia is King Ludwig II's Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria. It has been modified by matte painting with additional ramps. Neuschwanstein Castle has been featured in many motion pictures, and it is the original inspiration for all Disney theme park castles.
It's also worth noting that George Lucas had only one request of Mel Brooks... no merchandise... which is why you'll never actually find a Spaceballs The Coloring Book anywhere. Thus the joke about it in the movie. This thing is so deep on so many levels, it should be studied in film school.
"He's even whimpering like a dog" And this isn't even John Candy's best performance. Check him out in Trains, Planes, and Automobiles and Uncle Buck. He's so hilarious! And for more Rick Moranis (Dark Helmet) - Little Shop of Horrors, a horror comedy musical directed by Frank Oz, voice of Yoda
Merchandising! Where the real money is made! Mel Books taking the piss out of George Lucas for grabbing the merchandising rights to Star Wars and making a fortune off it. And because George only gave his blessing for Spaceballs if there was no merchandise sold, so it's everywhere in the movie.
@@ShreeNation Even better is how it is now. While Mel cant make stuff for Spaceballs FANS can and then sell it. You have Spaceballs the Bumpersticker, Spaceballs the Can Cozy, and even Spaceballs the Facemask. Fans have really run with making the merchandise the most absurd things possible. Also if others havnt said you do need to watch other Brooks films, and yes every single one basically has a 4th wall break and are absurdist commedies like this. Robinhood Men in Tights, The Producers, History of the World part 1. And what is considered his Magnum Opus Blazing Sadles.
If you want to see more of that guy who makes the sounds, you should check out Police Academy movies and a few of the sequels. He has a much bigger role in those movies.
"The stunt double looks like Charlie Chaplin... I don't want to say the other one..." You can. Mel makes it a point to mock Hitler at every opportunity, as one should. Be sure not to miss The Producers, for his ultimate slam on the dumbass nazis.
Barf's ears move like that because they were part of rig that allowed the ears to be remotely controlled. John Candy had to wear that rig the whole time they were filming this movie.
"You went over my helmet" is taken from the phrase "You went over my head?" which is to mean "you went over my authority" because to go over someone's 'head' of the department is like going over their 'head'. I'm not explaining this well but "going over my head" also means going over the manager's approval because they have to use their head to make decisions also.
Great reaction to a great comedy My top 5 Mel Brooks movies 1. Blazing Saddles 2. Young Frankenstein 3. History of the World part I 4. Spaceballs 5. Robin Hood Men in tights P.s. the asshole making sounds is Michael Winslow from Police academy. If you haven't seen it check it out lots of fun.
John Hurt, the actor from the dinner scene, is also the guy who was in the Alien movie and was the one in the famous(or infamous) chest bursting alien scene.
You may or may not have recognized a young Bill Pullman ( Indepenace day 1 and 2 ) And yes that was John hurt who played Kane in Alien . I don't know the lore behind the cameo , but at the time i just thought it was funny cause i was 10 - 11 years old and i knew the song the alien sang from bugs bunny ( the singing frog . look it up . lol ) and i was too young to have seen Alien yet .😅
14:32 There's a Japanese company that makes ears like that. They started with cat ears and the things have sensors that try to sense your mood and the ears actually move. I think they have dog ones now too. They were really popular for a while a few years ago.
Alas, the sequel - *Spaceballs 3: The Search For *Spaceballs 2** - has not yet been filmed yet, as the sequel to Mel Brooks *History Of The World, Part 1* - entitled *History Of The World, Part 2: The Search For More Money* - is first in line. :)
One little tidbit of trivia on the opening crawl. In Spaceballs The Book (YES this does exist), the opening crawl's font shrinks every line to a very TINY font at the end, so the "if you can read this you don't need glasses" joke makes sense there.
Also havnt seen this said. But the guy who says "We aint found shit" went on to act in a little known TV series, STAR TREK. Specifically that is Lieutenant Commander Tuvok of the starship Voyager. Yes that is Tim Russ who later plays Tuvok in Star Trek:Voyager as the We aint found shit guy.
This movie is infinitely quotable. I actually saw this way before I ever saw Star Wars so I had no idea it was a parody. This is my #1 favorite Mel Brooks movie followed by Robin Hood: Men in Tights. So good!
One of the guys holding the "Fro comb was actor Tim Russ of "Star Trek: Voyager"! (He's a bit miffed that he's known more for that Mel Brooks scene than his role as "Tuvok" the Vulcan.;)
I was seven when this movie came out and that joke was often used in my house we were always losing stuff and one of my parents would always ask did you find it and I reply I ain't found spaceballs because I couldn't cuss then and they always busted out laughing
@@Otokichi786 That's because Voyager as a series was shit. It wasn't the actors fault, it was bad writing. But I'm not surprised that he's better known for a minor role in a good movie, rather than a major role in a shit series.
One thing most reactors miss is how often Mel Brooks inserts gags from Looney Toons cartoons. They were made by Warner Brothers so getting permission was not a problem. Blazing Saddles had the candygram and Spaceballs had the Alien Chest Burster doing Michican J. Frog's song and sance routine.
'No sir, I didn't see you playing with your dolls again.' Lol, thats one of my favorite parts of this movie. Please react to the movie 'Spy Hard.' Its also really really funny.
Everyone's Mel Brooks movie seems to be "Blazing Saddles" which is fine it is a frickin funny movie. My favorite or "History of the World Part 1" I still quote from that movie to this day, if you haven't already seen it, please do😎💞
13:31 Fun fact. Mel Brooks told everyone in the scene about the joke, EXCEPT one guy...the gentlemen on the left is the sole one left out of the loop, and you can see the utter confusion he expresses.
Spaceballs is Mel Brooks' science fiction parody. His genre parodies take direct inspiration from a blockbuster movie, then throw in everything and anything that fits the genre! Star Trek, spoiled princess, reluctant rogue, bizarre aliens, Wizard of Oz, the twins from Quark (obscure, short-lived comedy on TV), Green Lantern/Lensmen, Transformers, Alien; & Planet of the Apes. Chewbacca has been described as being based on a dog. Personally, I don't see it. But that's why Barf is a mog (half man/half dog). Barf was probably created thru genetic engineering. No bestiality involved. The "bus" is a Winnebago recreational vehicle. Haven't you ever seen an RV? Transformers in the 80s were mostly an animated TV series based on the toys.
Well, there's Transformers: The Movie from 1986, which had the voices of Orson Welles as Unicron, Leonard Nimoy as Galvatron, Judd Nelson as Hot Rod and Eric Idle as Wreck-Gar and it had an amazing 80's soundtrack by Lion, Stan Bush & Weird Al Yankovic! You should watch & react to it! 🙂
Mel sent George Lucas a copy of the script, and George said they make the movie as long as they didn't sell any merchandise. Which is why he added the merchandise jokes.
Schwartz is the name of Mel Brooks' lawyer, by the way. Marcus Luttrell revealed that little insight when working on the movie adaption of his book Lone Survivor. He met Mr. Schwartz and he was talking about Mr. Brooks.. and Luttrell thought about it for a second and asked "Wait... Are you..." and Schwartz looked up and said "Yes, may the Schwartz be with you."
The movie that kickstarted this entire comedy genre is Airplane! (1980) which you should check out. Mel Brooks directed Spaceballs and was an indirect rival of the Zucker/Abrahams clan (who did Airplane and Naked Gun). Definitely check out more of Brooks' works including Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993), Dracula: Dead & Loving It (1995), and Hot Shots 1 & 2 (parody of Top Gun) by Jim Abrahams.
Mel has actually been around for years, back in the 60's he had a major hand in the spy spoof Get Smart, and later the Robin H Hood series When Things Were Rotten
If you do check out any other Mel Brooks' movies, keep in mind that he draws on a long tradition of Jewish/Yiddish humor that's more familiar to Americans of a certain age than anyone who grew up after the year 2000. Not that you won't enjoy it anyway. As an aside, Daphne Zuniga's (who played Princess Vespa) father was a professor at the University I went to. I took a Philosophy and Literature class from him. The first thing he mentioned in class was who his daughter was. (She was on a popular TV show at the time.)
When they meet Yogurt, isnt that similar,, the tin man(dot) Cowardly Lion (Barf), dorothy and the tin man, the princess and lonestar, wizard of oz aliens, so many parodies, thats part of the gag all the women are tall statuesque and the spaceballs are all short and, and yes that was John Hurt the guy who got the Original Alien Chest burster
Valium is a prescription medicine used to treat symptoms of anxiety, muscle spasm, alcohol withdrawal and as a sedative before surgery or to treat seizures.
Interesting fact, the entire making of Shrek, Lord Farquaad's name was Lord F*ckwad all the way up until the last moment before they went to release Shrek and they realized they couldn't leave it as F*ckwad.
Another movie starring the actor who had the alien burst out of his chest was the film adaptation of 1984; that actor (John Hurt) played Winston, and Richard Burton (in his last role) played O'Brien.
I'm oft disturbed at how many people don't know about Prince Valiant (A long time sunday comic strip), don't know what valium is, and miss dot's pretty good joke about how he's a pill.
Not only did Elon Musk get the idea for the Boring Company Flamethrower from Spaceballs, but the Tesla Model S Plaid is a reference to it as well. It's the fastest production car ever built with a 0-100 kmph of 1.9 seconds.
Nothing like getting wasted with those you care for. Thanks for some silliness Shree. Mel pays homage to more than SW. If you've seen them you recognize the nod. Love his work. He did a great interview in playboy many years ago. Gave us some insight to how he thinks. I think it was after blazing saddles came out and he was fresh in everyone's mind. Interesting read. Good job Shree. Do something nice for your family. Happy moms day
ILM made the effects and they got blessing from George Lucas for the movie. The merch gag is because lucas told them that they cant make any merch for this movie
Mel Brooks (the director) played Yogurt and President Scroob. He's Jewish, not Italian. 😁
The actor who had the alien burst out of him was John Hurt, the same actor from Alien who "birthed" the chestburster. That's why he says "not again".

> he’s Jewish, not Italian

Will do!
And just to be clear, it is the 1968 original Planet of the Apes!
Prince Valium is a spoof on the comic book character prince Valiant. And a pun on a sleep aid.
most reactors fails to notice the princes name. valium, thats why he is allways looking like he is going to fall asleep. And the apes on the horses is a reference to the original planet of the apes from the 1960`s

Sounds fun, i can't wait!
It's almost the plot from The Three Amigos.
the actor in the diner who paradied the alien scene was John Hurt who also played the same part in Alien
gives “oh no, not again!” a whole new meaning
For sure. I never saw Alien (a few scenes here and there as a kid when somebody else would be watching it, but that's it), so definitely didn't recognize the guy. As a result, I always found that line to be very strange, and never understood what it was supposed to mean. My only conclusion was that this same thing had happened to him before at that restaurant, and he somehow survived. But that never seemed like much of a joke.
a lot of people miss this but whenever they are walking up on yogurt for the first time they are recreating the scene from The Wizard of Oz
"You are an asshole; you're supposed to find shit". That alone got a like from me.
the radar guy who did the sound effects was played by Michael Winslow who also played the part of “Larvell Jones “ in the Police Academy films
In the Mr Rental scene, you see all of Mel Brooks' previous movies. The most popular are The Producers, Blazzing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and Robin Hood Men in Tights. But all of them are enjoyable.

I remember wanting the doll so much, and the flame thrower for some kids I knew. No,no I'm just kidding😂 Not about the doll though, it was so cute!!
@@annmariemills1554 I still want that doll!!
How would George have any say over Spaceballs?
Mel Brooks is a genius at comedy, you should react to Young Frankenstein which parodied the 1930s Boris Karloff version of Frankenstein
I would love to!
Joan Rivers did the voice of Dot Matrix
Dot Matrix was a common type of computer printer used in the 1980’s
Just about the only type of printer.
Not only did Elon Musk get his flamethrower idea from Spaceballs, but he also gave Teslas a "Ludicrous Speed" mode.
That's awesome!
If you want to see more of that guy who makes the sounds, you should check out Police Academy movies and a few of the sequels. He has a much bigger role in those movies.
Will do :)
His stand-up performances are crazy good as well. Can find some of those scattered around YT, worth a look for a quick laugh.
A true 1980s classic. Rick Moranis killed it, he was my favorite. The doll scene kills me every time. Great video Shree, glad you liked the movie!
Thank you for watching 🤗
The story is that the doll scene was ad-libbed.
"The stunt double looks like Charlie Chaplin... I don't want to say the other one..."
You can. Mel makes it a point to mock Hitler at every opportunity, as one should. Be sure not to miss The Producers, for his ultimate slam on the dumbass nazis.

My top 5 Mel Brooks movies
1. Blazing Saddles
2. Young Frankenstein
3. History of the World part I
4. Spaceballs
5. Robin Hood Men in tights
P.s. the asshole making sounds is Michael Winslow from Police academy. If you haven't seen it check it out lots of fun.
Thank you for the recommendations! 😍
Yep, it's from the epic ending of the 1st Planet of The Apes, the Charlton Heston one. But as per Heston movies, Ben Hur is much better.
8:26 "Does he have a condition?"
He's Prince Valium.
John Hurt, the actor from the dinner scene, is also the guy who was in the Alien movie and was the one in the famous(or infamous) chest bursting alien scene.
He was also the wand maker in the Harry Potter franchise
I love how you took the "assholes" gag and ran with it for the entire reaction. Lol!

No Spaceballs merchandise. George Lucas told Mel Brooks he could do the parody on one condition no merchandising.
:(
@@ShreeNation So Mel Brooks put the merchandising bit in the move to make fun of the fact that Lucas said no Spaceballs merchandise.
Also George let them use at least 1 unused ILM effect shot from new hope in the evacuation sequence, it's real easy to spot too

One little tidbit of trivia on the opening crawl. In Spaceballs The Book (YES this does exist), the opening crawl's font shrinks every line to a very TINY font at the end, so the "if you can read this you don't need glasses" joke makes sense there.
Hah! I can't believe there is also a book lol
The part at the end with the alien parody was the same actor from Alien John Hurt. That's why he said "Not again".
"Spaceballs": What "Blazing Saddles" (1974) did to Westerns, this movie did to "Star Wars.";)
The Statue of Liberty bit with the monkey people at the end of the movie was a parody of the climax of the original 1968 "Planet Of The Apes".
Also havnt seen this said. But the guy who says "We aint found shit" went on to act in a little known TV series, STAR TREK. Specifically that is Lieutenant Commander Tuvok of the starship Voyager. Yes that is Tim Russ who later plays Tuvok in Star Trek:Voyager as the We aint found shit guy.
He also had a part in another Trek movie.
''Go back to the golf course and work on your putz'' was a great Yinglish line that some may have missed. Putz/puts.

Note: Chapter 11 is a reference to bankruptcy in the US.
Oh that is so brilliant!
John Hurt was indeed the dad in Hellboy, but he was also the guy who got chestbursted in Alien.
He also was Doctor Who for a special once.
He was also in The Elephant Man, 1984, King Ralph, V for Vendetta and the voice of the Dragon in the Merlin tv series.
(guys with the comb) WE AINT FOUND SHIT! best joke in the movie nobody ever talks about...

My Parents Love this movie it’s so funny ( slightly insulting to Star Wars but still funny lol)
Mel Brooks described this as : Blazing Saddles In Space
Lone Star was supposed to be something of a cross between Han Solo and Indiana Jones
John Hurt played the guy who got his chest burst open in Alien. So it was funny when they did it in Spaceballs
Fun fact, if it hasn't been already mentioned - Joan Rivers, the voice
of Dot, improvised EVERY single line. She did not have a script.
That is awesome!
the scene where the head and mega maid vacuum cleaner crashes on the beach comes from “Planet Of The Apes”
He did say "Not again"... he was also the actor in Alien
Spaceballs is Mel Brooks' science fiction parody. His genre parodies take direct inspiration from a blockbuster movie, then throw in everything and anything that fits the genre! Star Trek, spoiled princess, reluctant rogue, bizarre aliens, Wizard of Oz, the twins from Quark (obscure, short-lived comedy on TV), Green Lantern/Lensmen, Transformers, Alien; & Planet of the Apes.
Chewbacca has been described as being based on a dog. Personally, I don't see it. But that's why Barf is a mog (half man/half dog).
Barf was probably created thru genetic engineering. No bestiality involved.
The "bus" is a Winnebago recreational vehicle. Haven't you ever seen an RV?
Transformers in the 80s were mostly an animated TV series based on the toys.
Well, there's Transformers: The Movie from 1986, which had the voices of Orson Welles as Unicron, Leonard Nimoy as Galvatron, Judd Nelson as Hot Rod and Eric Idle as Wreck-Gar and it had an amazing 80's soundtrack by Lion, Stan Bush & Weird Al Yankovic! You should watch & react to it! 🙂

The nose was the wicked witch of the west reference from wizard of oz.
I believe that Prince Valium’s name is a parody of the comic strip character Prince Valiant.
9:44 The Opening Credits Should Have Said "Don't Eat Pizza While Watching The Movie."

Interesting fact, the entire making of Shrek, Lord Farquaad's name was Lord F*ckwad all the way up until the last moment before they went to release Shrek and they realized they couldn't leave it as F*ckwad.
Heheh
16:03 Spoofs Defy Physics.
the assholes joke is a reference to stormtroopers looking the same and consisting of clones who are the same family
Another great movie starring Daphne Zuniga (Princess Vespa) is "The Sure Thing".
Another movie starring the actor who had the alien burst out of his chest was the film adaptation of 1984; that actor (John Hurt) played Winston, and Richard Burton (in his last role) played O'Brien.
I'm oft disturbed at how many people don't know about Prince Valiant (A long time sunday comic strip), don't know what valium is, and miss dot's pretty good joke about how he's a pill.

Not only did Elon Musk get the idea for the Boring Company Flamethrower from Spaceballs, but the Tesla Model S Plaid is a reference to it as well. It's the fastest production car ever built with a 0-100 kmph of 1.9 seconds.
Nice!
Great reaction! The singing alien at the end is a parody of a Loony Tunes cartoon One Froggy Evening. Great cartoon.
Thanks for watching!
Nothing like getting wasted with those you care for. Thanks for some silliness Shree. Mel pays homage to more than SW. If you've seen them you recognize the nod. Love his work. He did a great interview in playboy many years ago. Gave us some insight to how he thinks. I think it was after blazing saddles came out and he was fresh in everyone's mind. Interesting read. Good job Shree. Do something nice for your family. Happy moms day
Thank you so much 🥰
ILM made the effects and they got blessing from George Lucas for the movie. The merch gag is because lucas told them that they cant make any merch for this movie
