The fact they actually got John Hurt for the Alien bit makes it even funnier
The guy making the sound effects is Michael Winslow. He's more iconic in the Police Academy series where he started showing off his sound talents. He quit the acting business to support his family like Rick Moranis (Dark Helmet) did for his. Winslow then participated in America's Got Talent with his sound stuff. A lot of people recognized him off the bat, including Simon.
Moranis quit because he's a self-important prick who thinks himself better than the characters he was expected to play
Awesome
Now I need to check to see a clip from the show. Thanks for letting me know.
@@eskreskao he's still got it is all I can say.
My dad loved Michael Winslow, and he introduced me to Police Academy as well as Mel Brooks. He didn’t let me see Blazing Saddles until I was 17 😆, but I was curious about it from Robin Hood Men in Tights. And I can say with honour that I have continued my own quest into comedy and discovered the Marx Brothers on my own.
I hope she's ok. No reactions in seven months. I liked her.
"We aint found shit" has been lodged in a corner of my brain since the 80s and every time I think of it I still chuckle. Great reaction.
But why does the black guy have a pick? 😂😂😂😂
If you are a Star Trek fan the guy that says that line is Tim Russ who plays Commander Tuvok on Star Trek Voyager
😂😂😂😂😂
Hope you are okay
She is she has another channel called Nox & Noah
Hellooooooo.... are you there?
I found her she's on another channel called Nox & Noah
Not sure why she is not posting on YT anymore, but I noticed a small amount of more recent activity on her Letterboxd link in the description. I hope she comes back soon.
Mel Brooks was a genius, he doesnt break the 4th wall, he shatters it lol. Michael Winslow the guy that did those sound effects is one of a kind, he really hit it big in police academy. I just love the fact you couldn't stop smiling lol 😆
Mel Brooks is still alive, 96 years old - thus he IS a genius. Right?
Are you not doing Reactions anymore ?
I really enjoyed yours
Where are you? Everything ok? Hopefully everything is good, thanks
8:34 "It's kind of a lot more slower-paced than I expected, but I like it. It gives us a little bit of time to, like, digest what we're seeing and hearing."
That used to be the case a lot more with movies.
One of the funny parts is how they pushed the merch in the movie but a deal was made with George Lucas that he wouldn't sue for copyright infringement but Brooks couldn't sell any merch so of course Mel went right over the top with it in the movie but there wasn't a single piece to found in the real world. I hope the film crew or actors were able to steal some of the merch created for the movie because it would be worth a fortune now.
i bet a lot of it is forgotten in some storage unit somewhere. that would be dream find at auction lol
The deal was actually that mel got to borrow Lucas arts wfx and models from the star wars for free under the condition of there would be no merch from spaceballs. But Mel Brooks is mel Brooks, so he made it into a huge gagtheme instead. And George Lucas loved it.
Hello! Are you still there, Nox?
The Dolls part was ad-libbed by Rick. And it was brilliant.
The maid was holding the handle to the vacuum. We know where your mind was!
Right where I like it
I've seen a lot of reactions to this movie and this has to be my favorite. Most other reactors don't understand all of the references or fully appreciate the humor. You did both... and sang the theme to The Transformers. Bravo! 👏
BTW, there's another reactor, Jay Bond, who recently mentioned in a comment that you're one of his three favorite fellow reactors because you're "chill" (as in genuine and not overly dramatic). Just thought you might like hearing that.
There's an old '80s cartoon where a construction worker finds a frog who sings but every time somebody else is around the Frog won't sing that's where the Aliens parody comes from
"One Froggy Evening" is/was a 1955 short: ua-cam.com/video/80UjzxfNugs/v-deo.html
Maybe you saw it in the 80's, but as Otokichi pointed out, it's much older than that
I hope you didn't abandon your channel.
I am extremely happy you kept the Kafka joke in, not many people get it or leave it in. Also, your laugh had me smiling with you the entire reaction! Great job and thank you!
Thank you Rick Moranis, for sharing some of your life with us and making our childhoods that much more special. Ghostbusters, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and on and on. That wasn't meant to sound like an obituary... 👀
You were making me nervous
I hope someday someone reacts to Strange Brew. Hilarious movie.
Parenthood, with Steve Martin
Have you quit UA-cam?
You are spot on with your hunch about the twins being in a commercial: see e.g. 1991 - Double Your Pleasure with Doublemint Gum. The other guy you asked about with the sound effects is none other than the brilliant "man of 10000 sound effects" Michael Winslow, most famous for staring in the Police Academy movies.
Well, now we need Nox to do a Police Academy reaction.
Ain’t you doing anymore content?
NOX!!! WHERE ARE YOU?!?!? Are you okay?
"We ain't found shit" never fails to make me laugh.
if you've ever seen Star Trek: Voyager the man that said that line was Tim Russ who played Tuvok.
Honestly, it's the same for me every time my parents misplaced something and asked me if I found it is say I ain't found Spaceballs because I couldn't say the actual word and they would laugh and say we get it.
Doublemint Gum had commercials featuring identical twins and the ads were inescapable, so everybody would have been familiar with the joke. They were so well known that David Letterman's Top-10 Rejected Ad Campaigns included "Bob Guccione and the Doublemint Triplets in a Hot Tub."
There is no official Spaceballs merchandise, as part of Mel's deal with George Lucas for the rights to parody Star Wars. So he mocks George ruthlessly in the merchandising scene (if you don't know, GL made his fortune off merchandising Star Wars because Fox gave him the merchandising rights in lieu of pay).
And the alien's song and dance is from an old Warner Bros cartoon called One Froggy Evening.
The stunt doubles bit was so inspired. I love movies that break the 4th wall 😂
Stephen Tobolowsky's delivery of "You idiots! You've captured their stunt doubles!" is simply fantastic.
We miss you. I hope all is well with you.
The sound effects guy was Michael Winslow. If you like him, he had a bigger role in the first couple of 'Police Academy' movies.
"Chapter Eleven" means they filed for bankruptcy.
I literally just realized they got John Hurt for the Alien reference.
Did she stop making content?
the funniest part about the Instant Cassette bit is, if you think about it with streaming, it actually happened
Pre-preorder: You buy it before they’ve even come up with the idea for whatever it will be yet.
@@0okamino Closest I've ever gotten to that was the time I pre-ordered a video game, only for the game to get cancelled.
Merry Christmas to Nox So Subtle
It's funny because Spaceballs had no merchandising dealer would only let them make this movie spoof about Star wars but he said they could sell no merchandise
Not just spoofing space movies.
First meeting Yogurt spoofs all the way back to The Wizard of Oz.
Thank you! Now I don't have to say it.
what happened to her??
The Tesla model S Plaid is named after "They've gone to plaid" moment in this movie, it's their fastest model. They also have a "ludicrous speed" setting on all their cars.
I also wonder if this inspired Musk's "flamethrower".
"Spaceballs"?!! Oh shit, there goes the planet!
Fun reaction yet again! Thanks!👍
The alien dancing and singing was a call back to the old Warner Bros. (I think) cartoons where a frog sang and dance to that exact song, I think trying to get together with another female frog. And that was John Hurt, from Alien.
He wasn't trying to hook up, he was doing a vaudeville act. Each time he broke into it was a different song.
@@mikejankowski6321 Thank you. It's been way too long since I've seen the frog.
@@randallwright1973 It's always a good time for a refresh on that oldie! $$$$$$$$$
2:20 No but there's a country in Europe where *no one* was surprised by the big twist in Star Wars because Darth Vadar means 'dark _father.'_ I believe it was in Dutch but I could have that wrong. (and I'm too lazy to check)
22:02 The vacuum handle.
Did you stop making reaction videos I miss your reactions
I simply love your laugh. Fantastic. Here for it.
'Doublemint Gum' ads always featured 'twins' or doubles chewing gum. LMAO. Totally forgot about those ads.
Does anyone know what happened to Nox? Hope she’s ok…
RIP
I just noticed for the first time. After colonel sanders is named theres a sergeant ricco. Didnt get that refrence till now as ricco is from starship troopers.
come back!
Yeah, "Wrigley's Double Mint Gum" was a popular product from I guess the '80s-'90s, back when gum came in 'sticks' (flat strips, bought in packs of 5 or 20).
15:57 "All the jokes are just _woven in_ to all the conversations as if it's just, like, whatever, and nobody _reacts_ to it."
And that _last_ part makes it even _funnier, doesn't_ it? There's something totally absurd going on and everyone reacts like it's normal, and that makes it _ten times_ as absurd. This, I've noticed, is an enduring element of satire. You _really_ want to make your audience laugh, make your whole movie like _this._
There's this skit from the _Monty Python_ sketch comedy show called _Ministry of Silly Walks,_ the main character of which, every time he walks anywhere, employs this totally absurd walk. You _might_ suspect he's drunk or crazy. What makes it _funny_ is that, from the waste up, he carries himself like a self-respecting English gentleman. The expression on his face is _just_ the kind of expression you would expect from someone who's off to a day at the office.
"Keep calm and carry on... and have a silly _walk."_
This is one of my favorite childhood movies when they did parody's right
The ludicrous scene is in my top ten laughs. And 8:10 Colonel Sanders face is hilarious 🤣 Mel chooses the best comedic team. Great channel, dude 🤙
6:27 Yes, the Doublemint gum commercials always had twins.
Chapter 11 is also used when someone files for bankruptcy, and the song the chestburster sang is from "One Froggy Evening", a Looney Tunes short where Michigan J. Frog keeps performing vaudeville numbers for a construction worker... but whenever he tries showcasing the frog's act to *anyone* else, it immediately reverts to being a regular frog. Though one thing I realized - depending on how many uncles Lone Starr had, he and Dark Helmet may have been roommates! "I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate", after all!
Omg that’s brilliant 😂😂😂😂
Subtle joke: Princess Vespa. Vespa is Italian for wasp. In other words, the princess is a WASP (White Anglo Saxon Protestant), slang for the sort of uptight, rich snob you'd find in the suburbs of New York or Boston.
8:41 "You thought you could outwit the imperious forces of Planet Spaceball. Well, you were _wrong."_
😆 Ha! I don't know _how_ many times I've seen this movie, but I just now caught this joke for the _first time._ See, he's not referring to _imperial_ forces. He's referring to _imperious_ forces; _overbearing, domineering, haughty_ forces.
The radar operator with the sound effects is Michael Winslow. He became famous in the Police Academy movies. A couple of years ago he was a contestant on America’s Got Talent.
Ohhhh man, made some dinner, sit down for some UA-cam... And see my UA-cam Crush doing one of the best comedies EVER???? What a friggin great Saturday!!!!
Mel Brooks is an absolute legend. He turned 96 the other week I think.
I think I'm falling in love with you.
The dancing alien bit is a tribute to the loony toons character Mishigan j Frog
Wow, when I saw this movie before, I never got the Kafka Metamorphosis joke, it went by so fast.
Where did you go? And when can we see you again?
It seems she has stopped this channel, i will look for other reactors
Where did you go? Miss your reactions❤
I know, i love her smile, laugh
6:28 wrigleys double mint gum commercials, i do believe those 2 were in at least a couple of them, along with many other sets of twins
That intoxicating smile always brings me back.
Somebody say the temple of doom........Kalifaaaaa
"Spaceballs": Mel Brooks did to Space Operas what he'd done to the Hollywood Western with "Blazing Saddles" (1974).
Rick Moranis & John Candy both came from SCTV : Second City from a Canadian comedy sketch show back in the days . Also : History Of The World Part 1 - The Producers - Life Stinks . All by Mel Brooks . And he also produced " The Elephant Man " under another name. In that movie Anthony Hopkins was in it and based on a true story. Bill Pullman was also in a horror movie called " The Serpent And The Rainbow ".
You are the first reactor I've seen get the Metamorphosis joke and that alone makes me very happy I subbed
it's been 8 months. It's tragic how this movie, Spaceballs, has destroyed Nox's faith in movies.
nox, the first Luke Skywalker action figure came with a yellow lightsaber , but in the movie, he got a blue one and obi wan had a blue one and Darth had a red one, so maybe Lone Star having a yellow one was a nod to that?
Twins in the old “Doublemint Gum” commercials (1970’s). Pizza the Hut (instead of Jabba)…..lots of little references in this movie……Cheers
Your reaction to this movie was so fun to watch!
The alien singing with the top hat and cane was reference to Warner Bros. Looney Tunes singing frog singing the same song. Love your reactions. honest and fun. I think you would like High Anxiety. It's Mel Brooks tribute to Alfred Hitchcock movies.
“One Froggy Evening” is the cartoon. Spielberg called it the Citizen Kane of cartoon shorts.
To "give someone the raspberry" is to stick your tongue out and make a fart sound.
Mel Brooks does often play a character in charge. It's good to be the king.
Should check out Mel Brooks's original 60's movie of The Producers, Young Frankenstein, High Anxiety, History of the World, part 1, Robin Hood: Men in Tights & Dracula: Dead & Loving It.
Okay, folks already covered John Hurt, merchandising, One Froggy Evening, and even The Wizard of Oz.
I would like to point out that the Dink Dinks were doing a rendition of the march from Bridge on the River Kwai. Also, to expand, the trooper who "haven't found shit" was Tim Russ, who later played Vulcan Tuvok on Star Trek Voyager and had a guest appearance on The Orville along with many other roles.
Great reaction, lots of fun and you caught a LOT of the references.
'Ready Kafka?'
This is in my top all time favorites list. The jokes are endless
So glad you've seen the movies this was parodying, great reaction!
I got so much joy watching you laugh at this silly movie. I saw this movie as a kid and even to this day, when something is out of order, I still say to myself “Fuck! Even in the future, nothing works.”
Same! That's one of those movie quotes that I always find myself saying. Another one is, "You have to know these things when you're king, you know." Sadly, the reference is lost on most people.
"We aren't living in the past or the present anymore, this is the future!" Airplane 2
I wonder why she hasn’t posted?
John Candy who played Barf played in a lot of movies! He was an excellent actor!
Breaking Bad vibes when they crash land in the desert 🤣 That’s hilarious. I never put those together before.
Beautiful voice and beautiful smile! Love your page already! ☮️💕
The desert scene was Dune then a Wizard of Oz references
The alien chest burster singing "Hello My Baby" is a reference to an old Warner Bros cartoon where a construction worker finds a frog that performs the song for him but not anyone he tries to show it to.
My favorite part is when Dark Helmet looks into the camera and asks if we all got that. I kills me every time.
😂😂😂
THANKS FOR THE GAS YOGHURT 😂 I never registered that joke before
I've seen Spaceballs 1,000 times but gladly watched again just to see Eadig's pretty face, hear her melodic voice and girlish laugh. Now I see how much Yiddish she's picked up and am impressed.
The robot guy with Pizza the Hut was Max Headroom
Twins used to advertise Doublemint gum.
The alien was doing Michigan J Frog from the Warner Bothers cartoons.
Joan Rivers was the voice of Dot Matrix(C-3PO) android 😉😉
And if she doesn't find out, John Candy as Barf the Mawg! 😁😁
The "body actress" for Dot Matrix was Laureen Yarnell of the Shields and Yarnell mime team.@@jescis0
Always enjoy watching your reaction to these classics. I used to love showing new friends movies like this and seeing their reactions.
The gum comment with the twins was referring to the Double mint gum commercials back in the day. Tesla cars have the Ludacris speed option because of this movie, and I heard they have a Plaid speed coming soon? You should do History of the World Pt. 1 by Mel Broooks next.
Also, when Mel Brooks contacted George Lucas to make a Star Wars spoof the only stipulation was that there be no merchandise to compete with Star Wars merch so that is what that part in the movie is about. You couldn't really get any merch for Space Balls.
Well, she didn't know the other prince much either, so it was more time 😅🤓
24:18
She knew him longer the other prince she was supposed to marry.
This movie is so much fun! I love seeing you laughing at all the jokes! I remember watching this as a kid in the 1980s. When my mom heard the guy say, "Oh shit! Not that!" before getting his nuts Schwartzed, she exclaimed in her Filipina accent, "What?! They don't say that on Endor!" Hahaha...
If you want to see more of Michael Winslow (The sound man), you really should check out the Police Academy movies. He is in all of them.
Michael Winslow in Police Academy is awesome you should watch it
nox, i watch videos on youtube of the Legend of Zelda randomnizer tournament where they randomize where everything is in the 1987 video game. so if you normally go in a cave and the old man says, there are secrets where faires aren't, instead he might say a catchphrase that the new programmers put in. like "Ludacris speed , GO! " or " I'm Batman!"
Spaceballs parodied several space franchises including Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien and Planet of the Apes.
8:00 That is the incredibly talented Micheal Winslow. He was in a few things but two big things, Spaceballs (obviously) and the Police Squad movie series. After that he had kids and quit acting to focus on his family. (actually the guy who played Dark Helmet is similar. He is mostly known for Spaceballs and 'Honey I Shrunk The Kids.' He ALSO stopped acting to focus on his family) Micheal Winslow recently started doing standup after his kids pointed out that while it was awesome he stopped for them, they're all grown up now and he can and should get back in the game.
I wonder if Dark Helmet's voice was inspired by the original on-set voice of David Prowse, who physically played Vader but was dubbed with James Earl Jones.
