He said "Oh no not again" Because that same actor (John Hurt) was also in the movie "Alien" So this was the SECOND time that he has had an alien come out of his belly 😂
@RuntotheMovies. Ladies, I might have mentioned or requested this before, but what are the chances of you ever reacting to 'the mating habits of the earthbound human?' Despite the name it is not an adult movie, is actually a brilliant comedy on dating from a different perspective. Unfortunately this is the only trailer I can still find that makes sense. ua-cam.com/video/q3s9OFuEvhI/v-deo.html
Tips his hat just like an English chappie to a lady with a wealthy pappy. Very snappy! You'll declare it's simply topping to be there and hear them swapping smart tidbits! Puttin' on the ritz!
40:39 Fun Fact for you ladies: The actor who did the scene parodying the "Chest Burster" scene in "Alien" was John Hurt, the actor whose character was the victim of the chest Burster in "Alien", thus, the reason why he'd spoke the line, "Oh, No, Not Again"
23:29 Only found out a couple months ago, the combing the desert scene, the Spaceball who says, "We ain't found SHIT!" was also Tuvok from Voyager, Tim Russ.
One of my favorite quick jokes is when they are 'combing' the desert and Col. Sanders asked if they are being too literal. Dark Helmet uses his megaphone to respond standing right next to him but puts it away and just yells to the guys way down below doing the combing.
What I still find funny is Tim Russ is the Spaceball that says "we ain't found sh!t" and people STILL recognize him to this day for that line.... he played Tuvok in Star Trek Voyager for seven years, he even finds it amusing.
Fun Trivia: the scene where Dark Helmet is playing with his dolls was completely unscripted....the scene and dialogue were all improvised by Rick Moranis himself 😂😂😂
@Aurochhunter A page of screenplay equals one minute of screentime for a movie and 30 seconds for a sitcom, so 5 minutes is five screenplay pages, it isn't that complicated and is almost an exact science, yu dumbass.
Great Reaction....... "Putting on the Ritz," "People Fall in Love Everyday" George Lucas and Mel Brooks are Great Firends..... When Mel Told George about his movie idea, George gave Mel full access to ILM for the special Effects, The only Condiditions were "No Merchandise (No Copetition for Star Wars) and the lead could not look like Han Solo (So Mel Drssed him as Indiana Jones)..... Dot Matrix was an early type of printer for home computers, She is voiced by comedian Joan Rivers..... Vespa is a classic european Scooter, Prince Valium, Valium is a drug that makes ya sleepy, he is styled after the old Comic Strip "Prince Valiant" set in medevil times.... The Radar Guy is Michael Winslow who is best known as Larvell Jones from the Police Academy Movies.... and Yes, He makes all those sounds...... "Let's take a 5 minute break, Smoke 'em if ya got em"....... The spaceballs do not appear on screen for 5 minutes........ Mel Brooks like to play multiple roles in his movies... Dark Helmet playing with the dolls was totally unscripted.... They just gave Rick the dolls and let him Improv/FreeStyle........ "May the Swartz be with you" was the slogan of Mel Brooks' Lawyer who was named Schwartz...... John Hurt actually reprized his role for the Aien diner scene....
The actor playing Doctor Shlotkin, Sandy Helberg, is the father of actor Simon Helberg. Simon played Howard Wolowitz for 12 years on "The Big Bang Theory".
"Putting on the Ritz" for the win. You two would be wonderful to watch to some more Mel Brooks. "History of the World Part One" will crack you up! Thank you for giving me some laughs today!
Remember, the nurse that give great helmet was the narrator of the original Desperate Housewives and was Denise Richard’s captain in Starship Troopers. She also had a memorable role on Seinfeld.
Toy & Tori Dark Helmet is played Rick Moranis. Rick Moranis has a long career in entertainment. Then 1997, Rick took a hiatus from acting to raising his children after his wife died in 1991. In 1997, Rick became full time father. Then Rick is slowly returning to acting with a few selected roles. Rick reprised his Dark Helmet to voice the villain on the sitcom, The Goldbergs in 2018. Besides Spaceballs, Rick starred in Honey, I shrunk the kids and its sequel, Honey, I blew up the kid. In 2020, Rick signed on for 3rd sequel in Shrink (Blew Up) series for "Shrunk"
The guy making the sounds is michael winslow, hes been in lots of movies, the police academy movies, chhech and Chong up in smoke....ive seen him perform stand up many times, and have also met him, cool guy.
My favorite Mel Brooks films (excluding Spaceballs) include (in release order): Blazing Saddles (1974) Young Frankenstein (1974) ("Puttin' on the Ritz") - Makes references to Frankenstein (1931), Bride of Frankenstein (1935), and Son of Frankenstein (1942) and Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993) - Makes references to Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)
Tori's shocked face at the 'Bet she gives great helmet' joke 🤣🤣🤣 Mel definitely has a type that he frequently casts for his movies, but who doesn't enjoy a stacked redhead 😅
One of my all time favourite movies! Rick Moranis ended up costing Mel Brooks "a lot" of money, since the crew (including Brooks) couldn't help but laugh during his scenes, most notably when he first appears on screen and has breathing problems. George Lucas lended the services of his company ILM to shoot some scenes. The escape pod dropping out was actually a (once) deleted scene from A New Hope. He agreed to let Brooks make the movie on the condition that he couldn't make merchandise, hence the running gag throughout the movie. And he didn't want Lone Star to dress like Han, so Brooks chose to dress him like Indiana Jones. Rick Moranis improvised the entire scene where he plays with his dolls, he was sick and had a fever that day and still came up with one of the best scenes. The original title was Planet Moron. Brooks had a bad reaction to the Yogurt make up and got a bad rash around his eyes. The voice Dark Helmet has when his... dark helmet visor is down is inspired by David Prowse, the physical actor for Darth Vader in the original trilogy, and how he sounded with the mask on set. You can find footage of it.
No Star Wars movie was released in the theater as A New Hope. The original Star Wars movie was released as just Star Wars, and four years later, when it was re-released, it had A New Hope added to it.
@@MATTHEW-rp3kq Is what I said not true? Even my 24-year-old son calls the first Star Wars movie Star Wars. It would be like going back and changing the name of the movie Exorcist because sequels and then prequels came out.
The radar operator at 11:05 is none other than Michael Winslow. He’s an actor, comedian, and beatboxer known as “The Man of 10,000 Sound Effects” for his ability to make realistic sounds using just his voice. He is best remembered for his role as Officer Larvell Jones in the Police Academy films. The space trucker at 40:18 who has an Alien burst from his chest is actually John Hurt. He played Kane in Alien who was implanted by the face-hugger with an alien embryo. He’s literally doing a comedic spoof of the famous chestburster scene from Alien.
What's better than watching you two watch a comedy full of sexual innuendos? Watching you both come up with your own to add to the movie (Lonestar and Dark Helmet touching tips indeed)!! I am so happy that you appreciate the dancing, singing Alien at the diner as its one of my favorite parts. Thanks, ladies for another amazing reaction! I think I always end up laughing at your reactions more than I do the movie, lol. Oh, and before I forget... Putting on the Ritz!
Great reaction to this hilarious Mel Brooks comedy classic. Other popular classic Mel Brooks films are... Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, The Producers (both versions), Robin Hood: Men In Tights and History Of The World Part I Underrated (but need more love) Mel Brooks films are... Dracula: Dead & Loving It, High Anxiety, Silent Movie, To Be Or Not To Be, Life Stinks and The Twelve Chairs
Spaceballs!! FINALLY!!!!!! "I see your schwartz is as big as mine!" "He said comb the desert so I'm combing the desert" This movie has soo many great quotes. 😂
Spaceballs, Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles are my three favorite Mel Brooks films. If I had to pick a favorite I would say Young Frankenstein is my favorite.
There you go, the ultimate comedy classic. It has been stuck with me since age 5, it never stopped making me laugh. The next Mel Brooks you should react to are either Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, or his very last film Dracula Dead and Loving It.
20:02 when me and my dad were about to pull up to meijers. We were stopped by a line of geeses passing us by, and I just sang the dink song while they were passing. 😄
Put on the ritz! 😃🙂 Other Mel Brooks movies: The original 60's movie version of The Producers, which was not only his breakthrough but also Gene Wilder's breakthrough. Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein (which parodies the Boris Karloff Frankenstein movie & its two sequels, Bride of Frankenstein & Son of Frankenstein), High Anxiety (which parodies a lot of Alfred Hitchcock's movies such as Vertigo, Birds & Psycho), History of the World part 1 (Originally there wasn't a part 2, but they recently made a part 2 in TV-show form), Robin Hood: Men in Tights (parodies Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves & the Errol Flynn Robin Hood movie) & Dracula: Dead & Loving It (parodies Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula movie & the Bela Lugosi Dracula movie). Here's three very underrated Mel Brooks movies that are worth watching: The Twelve Chairs, Silent Movie (which parodies the silent movie genre) & Life Stinks.
Mel Brooks created some of the funniest, irreverent, ironic movies ever made: Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, The Producers, Men in Tights, History of the World, High Anxiety, To Be or Not To Be----all brilliant.
I saw just yesterday that Spaceballs 2 is currently in the works now as well. It'll be produced by Mel Brooks. They're currently working on the script from what I read.
This is such a funny movie. You can't help but laugh & can watch it over & over. Loved how Tori guessed what it was. I also see Toy had on Ren & Stimpy pants.
27:17 This isn't the last space themed movie that the actress playing the Nurse (Brenda Strong) appeared in. She is also Captain Deladier from "Starship Troopers."
I absolutely looooved this movie when it first came out. Pretty sure I saw it at the cinema... I just died laughing. :P For Mel Brooks movies, you HAVE to see Blazing Saddles. It's a classic!! Fun fact: the guy who had the alien burst out of his chest (40:33) is the original actor from the Alien movie (John Hurt) who had the alien burst out in THAT movie too, which is why he said "Oh no, not again". Freakin funny and clever on multiple levels. :) I absolutely love this movie.... I really wish more satire movies were made today at this level. Just such a classic. I put this up there with Life of Brian and Monty Python Holy Grail. So so good!
This is the first time watching your channel and i subscribed almost directly. I love your reactions. Especially Toris chocked expression at some of the jokes.
Oh, this one's perfect. You guys knocked it out of the park with the reaction and between Tori's dirty little mind and Toy's quick reactions to the callbacks, it was just perfect. An excellent job. Also, the entire Mel Brooks filmography is worth checking out, and before I forget.. Putting on the Ritz
"They've gone to plaid" always makes me laugh, and I'm not sure why. Also, Yogurt's little group ("Dink, dink") are singing a march from a movie called The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957).
16:54 that's all of Mel Brooks films. Then after those he would go on to create Life Stinks, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and Dracula Dead and Loving It. Oh yeah, "Putting on the Ritz"
It’s been mentioned that Spaceballs 2 is in the works, and on of the ending scenes in History of The World Part I (Jews in Space) will be expanded on. Also Mel Brooks played both the Governor Scroob and Yogurt. He actually could not sell merchandise because of contractual agreements with Lucas Films and Star Wars. Mel Brooks has made many movies and alsoo was a writer for the original Get Smart series. For his other movies I recommend in order: Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Men in Tights, History of the World Part I.
OMG hearing someone else mention "Splash"..... I legit didn't think anyone else remembered that movie. I loved that movie, so much so the moment I saw it was on one of the streaming sites I had, I just had to rewatch it.
The guy who made the radar sound effects, he was also in Police Academy, another funny movie. The President and Yogurt is Mel Brooks. Think about their names. Prince Valium, who is always yawning. Princess Vespa, look up Vespa.
You guys are probably too young to remember this, but in 1987, when I was 9 years old, ABC had a TV show called "Max Hedroom", which was an adaption of a British TV show, with a "computerized news anchor". He would always glitch and repeat things and stutter....in the Pizza the Hut scene, the robotic assistant and the guy who directs the call to that was a reference to Max Hedroom. 🙂 Lots of good things happened in 1987....the release of the IBM PS/2 line, IBM's first PC to use the new 80386, the first PC programs that made use of CD-ROM, such as Microsoft Bookshelf (it was text only!) and encyclopedias on the Mac that had graphics, and also the liquid nitrogen superconductor (way warmer than liquid helium ones), three Friday the 13ths.....and, my personal favorite event of 1987, "Star Trek: The Next Generation" was released! 🙂
Loved your reaction to one of my childhood favourites! Especially your shocked look to both cameras! The merchandise you saw throughout the story was bit of mild ribbing at George Lucas. He gave Mel Brooks permission to make this parody of "Star Wars", and even allowed him to borrow the facilities at ILM for the special effects. However, one of the conditions for Lucas doing so was that Brooks create and market no "Spaceballs" merch -- he didn't want competition or confusion with his own line of merchandise. So as an inside joke, Brooks filled the movie with merch instead! "People fall in love every day" -- that would be a great film to watch with you. I also highly recommend "Now get in your mouse and go home" (Uncle Buck). As for future Mel Brooks movies, I simply must request "Blazing Saddles".
The scene where Dark Helmet was playing with the action figures was 100% ad-libbed by Rick Moranis. You really can't go wrong with any Mel Brooks movie - Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, The Producers, and Robin Hood: Men in Tights are his better-known films, but The 12 Chairs, High Anxiety (a tribute to Alfred Hitchcock movies), and Life Stinks are also pretty good.
In Greek mythology there’s someone who eats themselves to death (Erysichthon of Thessaly - I just checked). I think he chopped down a special tree, the rightful owner cursed him with an insatiable appetite and he eventually ran out of things to eat (I didn’t check that but I think it’s right(ish)).
John Candy's great movies are Uncle Buck and Splash. Mel Brooks other great movies - History of the World part one, Blazing Saddles, Robin Hood Men in Tights, Young Frankinstein, and The Producers.
Thank you, Toy, for introducing Tori to this comedy masterpiece! Have loved this movie for years and this was such a fun - and naughty - reaction to it from the both of you 😈 (Tori's "There she blows!" then her face when she realised what she said for example lol). I also love the reaction to the dancing alien - that whole homage to Alien is one of my favourite parts along with Lone Starr's showdown with Dark Helmet which is hilarious 🤣
Toy and Tori missed some of the references:The Millennium Falcon is parked at the space diner and The Planet of the Apes scene at the end,Rhonda Shear was the waitress at the diner and Tim Russ(Tuvok)was the guy combing the desert.
We now live in a world where dot matrix printers barely exist. A number of airlines will still use them for passenger manifests but I'm sure there's very few use cases left. I love when Barf is loaded up with suitcases and he drops them all except the one in his teeth to talk to Lone Starr. So good.
Fun Facts: Although there are many jokes about merchandise, Spaceballs didn't actually have any. Apparently George Lucas asked Mel not to make any, which led to the merchandise jokes/gags within the film. George also asked Mel not to have a character dressed like Han Solo, so Lone Starr is dressed like Indiana Jones instead. Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), which was owned by Lucas, did the special effects for the film. The Millennium Falcon (or a ship that looks just like it) is parked outside the space diner.
Ladies, assuming no one else has mentioned it, the scene of Helmet playing with his dolls was totally improvised by Rick Moranis after Mel suggested he do that for the scene.
22:23 This is a gag. When Mel Brooks wrote Spaceballs he knew he would be sailing pretty close to infringing on Star Wars copyright. So he rang George Lucas and asked him if it was ok. They came to an agreement, part of which is Spaceballs couldnt produce any merchandise from the film

What's your favorite line from the movie?
If anyone didn't mention it has just been confirmed that they have a Spaceballs 2 in the works.
Putting on the Ritz!
He said "Oh no not again"
Because that same actor (John Hurt) was also in the movie "Alien"
So this was the SECOND time that he has had an alien come out of his belly 😂
@RuntotheMovies. Ladies, I might have mentioned or requested this before, but what are the chances of you ever reacting to 'the mating habits of the earthbound human?' Despite the name it is not an adult movie, is actually a brilliant comedy on dating from a different perspective.

also they put the bit from one froogy evening, about the singing frog, i died laughing . check please!!!
I never knew about Alien when I first saw this, so I thought he got the special before and this happened last time too.
@MATTHEW-rp3kq yeah, that's a reference to Michigan J. Frog from Looney Toons
And no John's were hurt in the making of this film.....well maybe that crew guy during the 'shward fight.
kinda spoofin' The Restaurant at the End of the Universe from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
23:29 Only found out a couple months ago, the combing the desert scene, the Spaceball who says, "We ain't found SHIT!" was also Tuvok from Voyager, Tim Russ.
The man making the sound effects is Michael Winslow, the man with a million sounds effects. You can see more of him in Police Academy films.
@BOT_JERRY apparently you are the one that’s slow since you don’t have the understanding of a figure of speech and some lite sarcasm.
@@darylnelms1654 OK Children that's enough *Michael Winslow* is know as *(The Man of 10,000 Sound Effects)* or *(The Man of 10,000 Voices)*
I thought he was the wizard of 1,000 kings. No? Maybe I’m thinking of Uriah Heap instead.
@BOT_JERRY you suffer from a bad case of jealousy son. The op is still correct, from a certain point of view.

I can't remember which made me laugh harder, either when Spaceball-1 went to plaid, or when they captured the stunt doubles.
I THINK Mel Brooks directed "Dracula: Dead And Loving It!", but could be mistaken.
Fun Trivia: the scene where Dark Helmet is playing with his dolls was completely unscripted....the scene and dialogue were all improvised by Rick Moranis himself 😂😂😂

There you go, the ultimate comedy classic. It has been stuck with me since age 5, it never stopped making me laugh. The next Mel Brooks you should react to are either Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, or his very last film Dracula Dead and Loving It.
20:02 when me and my dad were about to pull up to meijers. We were stopped by a line of geeses passing us by, and I just sang the dink song while they were passing. 😄
This movie was my childhood. Can quote it all day long!
fun fact 23:32 that actor is Tim Russ who plays as Tuvok in Star Trek Voyager
Put on the ritz! 😃🙂
Other Mel Brooks movies: The original 60's movie version of The Producers, which was not only his breakthrough but also Gene Wilder's breakthrough.
Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein (which parodies the Boris Karloff Frankenstein movie & its two sequels, Bride of Frankenstein & Son of Frankenstein), High Anxiety (which parodies a lot of Alfred Hitchcock's movies such as Vertigo, Birds & Psycho), History of the World part 1 (Originally there wasn't a part 2, but they recently made a part 2 in TV-show form), Robin Hood: Men in Tights (parodies Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves & the Errol Flynn Robin Hood movie) & Dracula: Dead & Loving It (parodies Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula movie & the Bela Lugosi Dracula movie).
Here's three very underrated Mel Brooks movies that are worth watching: The Twelve Chairs, Silent Movie (which parodies the silent movie genre) & Life Stinks.
Mel Brooks created some of the funniest, irreverent, ironic movies ever made: Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, The Producers, Men in Tights, History of the World, High Anxiety, To Be or Not To Be----all brilliant.
I saw just yesterday that Spaceballs 2 is currently in the works now as well. It'll be produced by Mel Brooks. They're currently working on the script from what I read.
This is such a funny movie. You can't help but laugh & can watch it over & over. Loved how Tori guessed what it was. I also see Toy had on Ren & Stimpy pants.
Robin Hood: Men in Tights is still my favorite comedy of all time! I could quote a vast majority of it while watching it. It is hilarious!!!!
27:17 This isn't the last space themed movie that the actress playing the Nurse (Brenda Strong) appeared in. She is also Captain Deladier from "Starship Troopers."
I absolutely looooved this movie when it first came out. Pretty sure I saw it at the cinema... I just died laughing. :P
For Mel Brooks movies, you HAVE to see Blazing Saddles. It's a classic!!
Fun fact: the guy who had the alien burst out of his chest (40:33) is the original actor from the Alien movie (John Hurt) who had the alien burst out in THAT movie too, which is why he said "Oh no, not again". Freakin funny and clever on multiple levels. :)
I absolutely love this movie.... I really wish more satire movies were made today at this level. Just such a classic. I put this up there with Life of Brian and Monty Python Holy Grail.
So so good!
Love the picture of Geordi La Forge behind you guys!
This is the first time watching your channel and i subscribed almost directly. I love your reactions. Especially Toris chocked expression at some of the jokes.
Thanks so much for your kind words. Welcome to our family.
Lord Helmet: I bet she gives great helmet.
She: you gotta give him that hawk tuah and spit on that thang.
Oh, this one's perfect. You guys knocked it out of the park with the reaction and between Tori's dirty little mind and Toy's quick reactions to the callbacks, it was just perfect. An excellent job.
Also, the entire Mel Brooks filmography is worth checking out, and before I forget..
Putting on the Ritz
"They've gone to plaid" always makes me laugh, and I'm not sure why. Also, Yogurt's little group ("Dink, dink") are singing a march from a movie called The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957).
I just wanted the whole 90 minutes to be the ship - Mel Brooks
16:54 that's all of Mel Brooks films. Then after those he would go on to create Life Stinks, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and Dracula Dead and Loving It. Oh yeah, "Putting on the Ritz"
It’s been mentioned that Spaceballs 2 is in the works, and on of the ending scenes in History of The World Part I (Jews in Space) will be expanded on.
Also Mel Brooks played both the Governor Scroob and Yogurt.
He actually could not sell merchandise because of contractual agreements with Lucas Films and Star Wars.
Mel Brooks has made many movies and alsoo was a writer for the original Get Smart series. For his other movies I recommend in order: Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Men in Tights, History of the World Part I.
History of the World part 2 reference that as well.
Love Toy and Tori reactions! Thanks for posting ❤
OMG hearing someone else mention "Splash"..... I legit didn't think anyone else remembered that movie. I loved that movie, so much so the moment I saw it was on one of the streaming sites I had, I just had to rewatch it.
I think my favorite film with John Candy is "the great outdoors" pure 80s goodness.
Yes, the director (Mel Brooks) plays both the President and Yogurt. Brooks is notorious for having cameos in his own films.
The guy who made the radar sound effects, he was also in Police Academy, another funny movie. The President and Yogurt is Mel Brooks. Think about their names. Prince Valium, who is always yawning. Princess Vespa, look up Vespa.
You guys are probably too young to remember this, but in 1987, when I was 9 years old, ABC had a TV show called "Max Hedroom", which was an adaption of a British TV show, with a "computerized news anchor". He would always glitch and repeat things and stutter....in the Pizza the Hut scene, the robotic assistant and the guy who directs the call to that was a reference to Max Hedroom. 🙂
Lots of good things happened in 1987....the release of the IBM PS/2 line, IBM's first PC to use the new 80386, the first PC programs that made use of CD-ROM, such as Microsoft Bookshelf (it was text only!) and encyclopedias on the Mac that had graphics, and also the liquid nitrogen superconductor (way warmer than liquid helium ones), three Friday the 13ths.....and, my personal favorite event of 1987, "Star Trek: The Next Generation" was released! 🙂
+1 for Police Academy. "Putting on the Ritz" also.
Thanks for sharing your reaction with us!
Can't wait to see you *_Puttin' on the Ritz!_*
The guy sitting next to pizza is a play on a character from ads, then his own short lived series: max headroom. He was big on promoting maxell tapes.
And Coca-Cola.
@Madbandit77 I forgot about coca cola.
"Putting on the Ritz" Loved watching the reaction. :)
Thanks so much for watching with us!
Loved your reaction to one of my childhood favourites! Especially your shocked look to both cameras!
The merchandise you saw throughout the story was bit of mild ribbing at George Lucas. He gave Mel Brooks permission to make this parody of "Star Wars", and even allowed him to borrow the facilities at ILM for the special effects. However, one of the conditions for Lucas doing so was that Brooks create and market no "Spaceballs" merch -- he didn't want competition or confusion with his own line of merchandise. So as an inside joke, Brooks filled the movie with merch instead!
"People fall in love every day" -- that would be a great film to watch with you. I also highly recommend "Now get in your mouse and go home" (Uncle Buck).
As for future Mel Brooks movies, I simply must request "Blazing Saddles".
Some great jokes in this one. Mel Brooks is a comedy legend.
The scene where Dark Helmet was playing with the action figures was 100% ad-libbed by Rick Moranis. You really can't go wrong with any Mel Brooks movie - Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, The Producers, and Robin Hood: Men in Tights are his better-known films, but The 12 Chairs, High Anxiety (a tribute to Alfred Hitchcock movies), and Life Stinks are also pretty good.
In Greek mythology there’s someone who eats themselves to death (Erysichthon of Thessaly - I just checked). I think he chopped down a special tree, the rightful owner cursed him with an insatiable appetite and he eventually ran out of things to eat (I didn’t check that but I think it’s right(ish)).
Great reaction as always ladies!!
"Putting on the Ritz" if at least to see Marty Feldman play his iconic funny hunchback character.
And to see Abby's reaction to a certain scene
walk this way
"What hump?"
John Candy's great movies are Uncle Buck and Splash. Mel Brooks other great movies - History of the World part one, Blazing Saddles, Robin Hood Men in Tights, Young Frankinstein, and The Producers.
One of my favorite Mel Brooks movies. I have always wanted that Yogurt doll.
Maybe Prince Valium needs Mr. Coffee. or Mr. Radar.
Lots of Mr. Coffee!
This is one of the funniest reactions yet! Poor Tori trying to get her mind out of the gutter and Toy keeps shoving her right back in! LOL!!!
44:20 If you want more Mel Brooks movies, a great one is _Dracula: Dead and Loving it_ (with the one and only Leslie Nielsen as count Dracula).
Thank you, Toy, for introducing Tori to this comedy masterpiece! Have loved this movie for years and this was such a fun - and naughty - reaction to it from the both of you 😈 (Tori's "There she blows!" then her face when she realised what she said for example lol). I also love the reaction to the dancing alien - that whole homage to Alien is one of my favourite parts along with Lone Starr's showdown with Dark Helmet which is hilarious 🤣
Toy and Tori missed some of the references:The Millennium Falcon is parked at the space diner and The Planet of the Apes scene at the end,Rhonda Shear was the waitress at the diner and Tim Russ(Tuvok)was the guy combing the desert.
History of the world part 1 is a Mel Brooks movie
The guy playing President Skroob, and Yogurt, is Mel Brooks, who is also the director!
We now live in a world where dot matrix printers barely exist. A number of airlines will still use them for passenger manifests but I'm sure there's very few use cases left.
I love when Barf is loaded up with suitcases and he drops them all except the one in his teeth to talk to Lone Starr. So good.
Putting On The Ritz! It’s Mel Brooks at his best, not just funny but a beautifully crafted movie.
You did Hardcore Henry @Toy???!!!! I love that insane wild ride movie. Watched 4 times so far. Nothing else like it!
Fun Facts: Although there are many jokes about merchandise, Spaceballs didn't actually have any. Apparently George Lucas asked Mel not to make any, which led to the merchandise jokes/gags within the film.
George also asked Mel not to have a character dressed like Han Solo, so Lone Starr is dressed like Indiana Jones instead.
Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), which was owned by Lucas, did the special effects for the film.
The Millennium Falcon (or a ship that looks just like it) is parked outside the space diner.
The prince is tired because his name is Valium. 💊
I saw this in the theater back in 1987, and though I was a little kid back then, I did understand certain jokes in the movie.
Ladies, assuming no one else has mentioned it, the scene of Helmet playing with his dolls was totally improvised by Rick Moranis after Mel suggested he do that for the scene.
SPLASH is a great movie!
The guy at the end of the comb scene ("we ain't found SH..!") is Tim Russ. Tuvok from Star Trek Voyager.
Wowwww. He said"when did we get to disneyland?" Lmao. How foreshadowing is that!!! Lol
22:23 This is a gag. When Mel Brooks wrote Spaceballs he knew he would be sailing pretty close to infringing on Star Wars copyright. So he rang George Lucas and asked him if it was ok. They came to an agreement, part of which is Spaceballs couldnt produce any merchandise from the film
