Spaceballs (1987)
Spaceballs is a 1987 American space opera parody film co-written, produced and directed by Mel Brooks. It is primarily a parody of the original Star Wars trilogy, but also parodies other sci-fi films and popular franchises including Star Trek, Alien, The Wizard of Oz, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Planet of the Apes, and Transformers. The film stars Bill Pullman, John Candy, and Rick Moranis, with the supporting cast including Daphne Zuniga, Dick Van Patten, George Wyner, Lorene Yarnell, and the voice of Joan Rivers. In addition to Brooks playing a dual role, the film also features Brooks regulars Dom DeLuise and Rudy De Luca in cameo appearances.

End Music by: Diego A. R. Delfino
Mel Brooks asked permission from George Lucas before filming. Lucas's only condition was 'no merchandizing' which in turn 'merchandizing' became a running joke throughout the movie.
One of the other conditions was the main character couldn't look like Han Solo. Which is why they made him look like Indiana Jones instead....
@@chiefcrash1 really? I didn't know that. Something new to learn. Thanks
He also said you can't use the likeness of Han Solo, so Brooks make him look like Indiana Jones.
@@libertyresearch-iu4fy Cheeky! But Lucas reportedly couldn't stop laughing so I guess we're all good.
George Lucas liked Spaceballs, but his favorite parody of all time is still Hardware Wars.
She absolutely needs to see Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.
Totally. I wasn't much of a fan of Spaceballs.
@@briangregory6303 Yeah, it's not really in the same league as his earlier films.
3 words -
MEN
IN
TIGHTS
( _tight_ tights! )
And History of the world - part 1
I think a person's love of Spaceballs is in direct proportion to how big a fan of Star Wars they are. I personally think it is one of my favorite Mel Brooks movies, along with Blazing Saddles, History of the World and Men in Tights.
"You idiots! You've captured their stunt doubles!"
My favorite joke of the movie. Stephen Tobolowsky's pompous delivery of his gloating and the gasp of shock are just perfect.
I love how it's even setup, his opening line "spectacular stunt".
Definitely one of the funniest scenes of the whole movie. My favorite is still the instant cassette scene.
First time around, I had to find the bathroom.
"Turn around, please..."
That was one of the funniest scenes in the movie - and boy, that guy was a great straight man for Rick Moranis.
36:44 "Preparing ship for metamorphosis"
"Ready, Kafka?"
Definitely not a joke that I got until I was older.
Same. Also, there is also a superhero-like series called Wild Cards that has a giant cockroach creature that they call Kafka. Something else I didn't get until many years later.
One minor gag at the beginning (the title scroll) was "Chapter Eleven," a reference to bankruptcy law. The Spaceballs had squandered their air, and were "bankrupt" of atmosphere.
I always just saw it as a gag on how Star Wars started with Episode 4, have they actually said at some point that it was a bankruptcy reference?
@@DanielRichards644 It was an obvious bankruptcy reference to me at the time, and I'm Finnish.
@@pasiojala3227 but had nothing to do with "bankrupt of air"...geez
@@DanielRichards644 Chapter 11 bankruptcy is the most famous of the bankruptcy filings, so I guess it was an obvious joke. The switch from 'episode' to 'chapter' is also a dead giveaway.
Oh damn! I was today year's old when I learned that.
Coby, the voice for Pizza the Hutt was Dom DeLuise and yes, Dot's voice is Joan Rivers. The actor in the suit for Dot is the mime Lorene Yarnell from Shields and Yarnell. One of George Lucas' stipulations for permission to parody his franchise was that the Han Solo character couldn't be costumed like he is in Star Wars hence the idea to make him look instead like Indiana Jones. And if you didn't ever figure it out, Mel Brooks played 2 roles in this film...he is President Skroob and Yogurt. Also, Michael Winslow from Police Academy is the radar officer that got jammed doing all those crazy sound effects he is known for. Lucas loved the script so much that he offered the services of ILM to do the visual effects which is why they are top notch for 1987. Some of the escape pod footage is actually unused film from A New Hope. After our heroes get rescued by the "jawas' thru walking up to the scary stage of Yogurt is a veiled reference to the Wizard of Oz. I'm sure you can get which Spaceballs character translates to which character in Oz. One other thing: the doll playing scene was a last minute suggestion by Mel to Rick that he totally improvised on the spot.
I also heard that the doll improv scene from Rick was taken in one shot, and they had to break afterwards because everyone was busted up from laughter. Moranis is a legend.
Yup. I looked long ago, cuz it sure did sound like Dom. Bless his weird funny heart.
well lucas was working with ilm before this,
@MATTHEW-rp3kq Lucas created ILM to create the effects for A New Hope, so yes, he worked with his wholly owned company before.
The Millennium Falcon was in the parking lot of the diner!
45:54 damn you're right, never noticed.
@@Ryzza5 I wonder if this sparked the idea for the company who did the CGI for Firefly and then BSG, to put a Firefly class ship into an early scene in the BSG Mini-series as a little fond farewell to a much loved friend?
Did you also notice the big '76' sign at the end of the runway? In restaurants; 76 is to cut something off the menu. So a very fitting little pun...
Holy shit I never noticed!!!
@@jarsky That's 86, it's been a while since working in a restaurant so I looked it up to be sure.
Missed opportunity...
Vespa: that asshole shot my hair!
Spaceball: how'd she know my name?
Another missed opportunity... when Lone Star found the self-destruct button and says, "Bingo", they could've shown the ship's bingo parlor.
Lol. I completely missed that reference in the movie. Oh wow...laughed my ass off when saw your post.
@@davemccullough2256 Thanks. I can't take credit for it, though. The idea came from Leslie Neilson's character in The Naked Gun.
😀😀😀
"We ain't found shit!" guy.....if you get there...is Tovok from Star Trek Voyager.
And he played one of the government agents in Live Free or Die Hard.
Tim Russ, for those wondering
And he actually says "We aint found ship!°
@@DJspuppet no he said shit.
@@DJspuppetyou need new hearing aids
The big Yogurt statue and the "What a world, what a world!" near the end are both Wizard of Oz references.
Pretty much the desert scene on is full of Wood refs. Mel lampoons anything he can cleverly include in this cake! Fun to watch along!
As was the four main characters walking up to the Yogurt statue.
I wonder if she's ever seen it because she missed all of the references, and there are many.
The younger crowd don't always get all the references, but no worries.
The 'Dolls' scene was completely improvised by Rick Moranis. Comic gold!
He was SO FUNNY!
The radar tech was the dude that did all the noises in police academy
noice
Michael Winslow man is a walking soundboard.
The fact you actually know most of these actors is impressive...most impressive! Also the look you had when you realized it was gonna be Planet of the Apes....too awesome!
I've probably seen this movie twenty times and this is the first time I realized the president's last name is Brooks backwards. We truly do learn something new every day.
@@noisyrhysling I was today years old and just learned that myself, LOL
Not to be that guy, but the Presidents name is Skroob. Still an anagram though.
I just realized that the guy playing Lone Starr also plays the President in the Independence Day films, and his callsign when flying in the final battle was "Eagle 1".
And in ID he is married to the BSG President.
The intro is the epitome of "OK the joke is funny because it went on too long.... OK now it's gone on too long and isn't funny anymore.... ...... ...... OK now it's funny again"
Even the music gets annoyed that the joke goes on too long!
After ludicrous speed when he says "everyone take 5" it's 5 minutes of film time before we see the Spaceballs again 😁
The nurse, who looked so familiar, was Brenda Strong.
She has been in many shows and movies over the years, but many remember her as Sue Ellen Mischke from a few episodes of Seinfeld.
She was Elaine's friend, the 'Oh Henry!' candy bar heiress, who Elaine disliked because she would never wear a bra...or when she did, she wore it as a shirt with just a blazer over it.
she also plays the captain of the "Roger Young" in Starship Troopers
I didn't know that. Very cool. And I'm a Spaceballs & Seinfeld fan.
Sue Ellen Mischke ... yes, that's who I called her when she asked who it was, not her real name, but Sue Ellen.
Dammit! I knew I knew it. She is distinctively tall and attractive, but I couldn't for the life of me place her.
I love that Bill Pullman is dressed like Indiana Jones instead of Han Solo.
Yea. They didn't get permission to use Luke Skywalker costum so they we kinda retaliated with Indiana Jones-clothes.
Remember...evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
That and "Not again...." are the 2 lines in this that always make me smile.
On the audio commentary Mel Brooks said that line is true, hence why people elect bastards like Trump and allow the Do Not Say Gay campaign. If good were smart then people like Trump wouldn't be allowed to become president.
Great reaction Coby like always i love Mel brooks movies. A fun fact...when Rick Moranis says 'why don't we take a five minute break', it's exactly 5 minutes in the film before we see the spaceballs again.
In case you didn't realize, or know, the late Sir John Hurt was the guy who had the alien come out of him. He was the original actor from Alien as well. Some great little bit's a pieces about this film which makes it funnier when you know. By the way, the guy making the sounds is the legendary Michael Winslow. You can see more of him in Police Academy.
Mel Brooks had to get permission from George Lucas who only agreed on the grounds that they sold no merchandise and that Lone Starr couldn't dress as Han Solo. So brooks filled the movie with fake merch and dressed Lone Starr like Indiana Jones instead.
There's polystyrene cups everywhere cause cast and crew kept leaving them all over the set, so Brooks just wrote them into the film. And one of my favorite joke of the movie is the stunt double one. There are a lot of 4th wall breaking jokes in the movie (the spaceball cassette, the cameraman getting slashed by Darth Helmet, Yoghurt doing merchandising stuff because "it's where real money from the movie is made" but the stunt double one really made me lose it completely as it was completely unexpected. It was so well done! Keep up the good work. I suggest reaction to more Mel Brooks movies all of the are hilarious.
The documentary on the making of Spaceballs is here on YT. What it doesn't tell is that when Mel called George Lucas and sent him the screenplay, George told Mel the Hero couldn't look like Luke or Han Solo so Mell dressed Lone Star like Indiana Jones. He also told Mel he couldn't do any Merchandising so you have Yogurt showing his Merch store in the film. If you look fast you can see the Millennium Falcon in the Diner parking lot.
When Lonestar says, "Eagle 5, going in for a landing," it is funny now because when Bill Pullman stars in Independence Day, his call sign is "Eagle 5". I wonder if Bill Pullman asked for that to happen?
I believe he was Eagle 1. But it bugged me because he should have been Air Force One.
@@matthewkreps3352I don't think it would be that call sign considering he was the only one onboard.
Anyone who loves Spaceballs is friend-material in my book.
I'd like to see her reaction to Blazing Saddles. 😂
Dude, when I die, I'll be thinking of the now-now scene. Go out with a hoot
Welp, put me in your book!
My favorite comedy of all time.
I thought I knew it, but this reaction made me rethink a little. 5he last half, I got nothing.
Time for a rewatch of the whole thing.
Maybe we can be friends sometime. ❤
In the Temple, It was "Indiana Jones" combined with "The Wizard of OZ".
The Spaceball that said "We ain't Found..." Became Tuvak in "Star trek: Voyager".
One thing you didn't catch - when the group first met the Yogurt statue it was in reference to The Wizard of Oz - the over sized statue - the lion - the tinman - the scarecrow and Dorothy. And yes Yogurt was also played by Mel Brooks
Everybody misses the Wizard of Oz references.
What a world.
@@JRSiebzalso when they meet Yogurt.
@@josephvandiver6912 of course
No one ever get the raspberry joke either.
Mel Brooks not only played President Skroob (Which is technically Brooks spelled backwards), he was also Yogurt, he was on his knees when he played that part. The part close to the end where the little alien sang Hello My Baby, it was a reference to a classic Bugs Bunny cartoon called One Froggy Evening. You should see it if you want to understand that joke. The coloring book that Yogurt showed was actually a Transformers coloring book.
Pizza the hutt was played by Dom Deluise ( he voiced pizza the hutt)
Pizza The Hutt's henchman was a take-off reference to Max Headroom from the late night tv series Max Headroom: 20 Minutes Into The Future, and was played by Matt Frewer. Max Headroom was also seen in a small series of Coke commercials at the time as well.
Mel Brooks is one of the very few ppl who have won an Oscar, Tony, Emmy, and a Grammy.
For those that didn't get the reference(s)- the Pizza the Hut "gang" were plays on famous 80s commercials/brands/pairings in the 80s. Max Headroom touted "Coca-Cola" as the "New Wave Taste". He was basically the first "V-Tuber" type celebrity. Pizza Hut was one of the all time biggest pizza chains of the era. Pizza Hut in the late 70s/Early 80s was bought up by Pepsi, to ensure that Coke's products couldn't be served at a Pizza Hut. Pepsi and Coke had some pretty fierce ad campaigns against each other in the 80s.
What I really love about this movie: it not only makes fun of the originals, but is also a loving homage to Star Wars.
The incredible attention to detail in the film sets, costumes and equipment alone, as well as the many allusions to the content, requires that the audience knows the original very well in order for the gags to work. At the same time, the movie takes the nonsense to the absolute extreme.
Dom DeLuise voiced Pizza The Hutt. That's Rick Lazzarini's chin inside the costume, the cheese that you see hit his chin actually was real melted cheese and it scalded him but he kept going.
so two italian-americans doing the pizza guy 😂 gold
"Comb the desert." My favorite joke in all of comedy history.
Star Wars loves to insert hidden bases (Corellia - Hidden Rebel Base.
Pkihantri - Rebel base.
Talus - Rebel Forward Base Camp and Talus base.
Xyquine II - Xyquine base.)
Vespa is the "hidden bass"🤭
Coby: "The helmet is so big.."
Me: *giggles*
No one remembers Dot Matrix computer printers, so that joke never hits.
A lot of people seem to miss the joke that Chapter 11 is a bankruptcy filing. It really reinforces the need for Spaceball 2: The Search For More Money.
I went through college writing my papers using Word Perfect and a dot matrix printer.
I churned out my college papers on an Epson LX-series Dot Matrix printer via Wordstar for DOS.
They still sell those for printing invoices and receipts where I’m from.
47:19
Interesting Fact for you, Coby:
The alien bursting out of John Hurt was parodying the same scene in "Alien" with the same actor, hence why he says, "Oh, No, Not Again"
You need to watch all the Mel Brooks movies. They blow the Wayans Brothers' satires out of the water.
39:15
"I Know That Guy Too,But I Don't Remember His Name"
King Roland is played by Dick Van Patton
He's also in the Mel Brooks parody "Robin Hood:Men In Tights"
This movie is the reason the fastest Teslas are given the model name "Plaid" and have a Ludicrous mode.
Yogurt is a parody Of Yoda And it’s also is played by Mel Brooks! He Was walking on his knees and put shoes on them to look like he was walking! MIND BLOWN!!!
I've been watching Spaceballs reactions since the dawn of time and this is the first time anyone's recognized Daphne Zuniga. Edit: AND John Hurt. And a Storyteller mention? This is just aces Edit Edit: And she's friends with Dick Van Patten's son? What's happening here
I doubt anybody noticed but Dark Helmet's tie is also a "cock & balls" :)) once you see it you will never unsee it :)) You are the first person to react to this movie and got the Col. Sanders / chicken joke. When they are combing the desert the one guy that says " we ain't found shit" is Tim Russ who also play Tuvok on Star Trek: Voyager :)
The singing and dancing alien at the diner was imitating Michigan J. Frog from the Warner Brothers cartoons.
Neat fact the black guy on the pick in the desert had only 1 line. He is also thw actor who played Tuvok on the show Star Trek Voyager and he is still proud of that role today
"I bet she gives great helmet"
The best part about Mel Brooks parodies/spoofs is that they stand on their own as movies. Familiarity with the source material is an added bonus.
Mel FINALLY received his 'Lifetime Achievement' Oscar this year in his 90's gods bless him! Watch EVERYTHING he ever did, the man is the GREATEST! 🥰 We're not worthy! 🤣 'Pizza' was Dom DeLuise, one of Mel's favorites. 'President Skroob' and 'Yogurt' were both Mel Brooks. Dark Helmet playing with his dolls was total improvisation by Rick Moranis, Brooks just turned him loose and decided to leave it in. 😛🤣
Hilarious reference to the stormtroopers being terrible shots by having the gunner be cross-eyed lol.
John Hurt also played Kane who was the victim of the Chestburster in Alien, which is the clear spoof near the end.
On a side note, the song that the alien sing is Ragtime Gal sung by Michigan J Frog from the Chuck Jones directed Merrie Melodies cartoon One Froggy Evening. In fact, the whole sound clip comes from that short apart from the ending which was tweaked for the movie.
The scene of Dark Helmet playing with his dolls was a total ad-lib by Rick Moranis on the day. They just had the dolls sitting around from the merchandising scene, and he spotted them and suggested the idea to Mel Brooks. Ended up being one of the best scenes in the movie!
the most obscure reference to Warren Miller, for those who don't know who Warren Miller is, he is a director/producer of downhill skiing movies from the 80's and 90's.
The Storyteller was amazing!!!!
Yes! Jim Henson's the storyteller was his last proud achievement and so sad when he passed away, and it was placed off the air... but it was so special and shown the brighter, yet darker side of the man called Jim Henson.
The actor who plays Colonial Sandurz, his son plays Howard Wolowitz in the big bang theory.
@@josephedwards8604 not Colonel Sandurz. He plays the plastic surgeon in the scene where they get the combination to the air shield. Sandy Helberg is his name and his son is Simon Helberg (who, of course, plays Howard Wolowitz in The Big Bang Theory as you mentioned).
For those of who missed the 80's the guy with Piza the Hut was Max Headroom who was billed as as AI generated broadcaster and ended up doing coke commercials. The "Hello my baby" singer is Michigan J Frog he comes from a great cartoon about a construction worker who discovers a dancing frog while demolishing a building.
20:51 Exactly what we all need to survive on a desert planet. Hot air blown directly at our scalps.
49:19 Ronny Graham had 11 movie roles, 6 of which were for Mel Brooks.
As the minister, he didn't understand the character or how excited he should get, so he was directly mimicking Mel Brooks's reading of the script with building exasperation finishing with an approving smile.
It's refreshing to see someone that knows so many of the actors!
Independence Day has a reference to Space Balls.
The President's call sign when he goes into combat at the end of the movie is Eagle-5.
George Lucas also had a condition about Lone Star that he couldn't look like Han Solo, so Mel Brooks gave him the outfit of Indiana Jones.
This has made my heart so happy, another generation enjoying SpaceBalls!!!!!! ❤❤💪💪
I already know that I'm going to love this reaction! This is such a fun movie. 😊
RIP always to John Candy(Barf) & Joan Rivers(Dot)!
The cast in this movie is fantastic. Especially Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet. And of course, Mel Brooks as Yogurt & President Skroob. And this is easily my favorite "Star Wars" parody.
I still very VERY highly recommend the Star Wars behind the scenes documentary "From Star Wars to Jedi: The Making of a Saga" narrated by Mark Hamill(Luke Skywalker). If you're still going in release order, just to let you know it came out in 1983. It's my favorite "Star Wars" behind the scenes documentary.
Looking forward to the next reaction. 😊
The "instant cassettes" part was Mel Brooks genius take on Abbott and Costello routines (especially "Who's on First"). It's my favorite part of the entire film.
now you need to see Wizard of Oz, there was 3 or 4 references in this movie
I love that you actually know the actors in these movies. It's kinda annoying that so many reactors don't.
Mel....what a national treasure! Going back to his earliest movies, all brilliant! It's hard to believe, he was a WW2 hero! All his movies are pure genius, the producers is a riot! He cowrote blazing saddles with Richard Pryor and how he got Gene Hackman to take a bit part in, Young Frankenstein, I'll never know! Mel is Yogurt, in this, he's usually in all his movies somewhere! This movie has so many movies in it, even a bit of Dune! He was also hillarious in he had a reoccurring bit part as a guy I think named, Methuselah, in the TV show, Mad About You!
Gene Hackman found out about the role from his good friend and tennis partner Gene Wilder. He requested a part in the movie because he wanted to try comedy.
"What's your name" "Barf" "Not in here, this is a Mercedes!"
"Why are you always preparing? Just go!"
The actor in the Pizza the Hutt costume is comedian Dom Deluise .
The guy making the noises with Helmet and Sanders is Comedian Michael Winslow, who is best known for playing Officer Jones in the Police Academy Movies (Another set of movies you should check out).
Yogurt is played by Mel Brooks playing both Yogurt and President Skroob.
Good ol’ Dom. He was truly a special ingredient.
His voice. He's not in outfit
Mel Brooks, always breaks the 4th wall. Its a staple of his comedy.
It doesn't seem that anyone gets that Chapter Eleven is the US Code chapter for bankruptcy.
They really needed Spaceballs 2. 😄
As a Brit, I'd never got that Chapter 11 joke obviously. I just assumed it was a random big number to take the piss out of Star Wars being 4,5,6, then 1,2,3 etc. So it's actually 2 jokes for the price of 1.... nice 😀
I'm always amazed an actress working in the industry hasn't watched so many of these iconic films. Better late than never when it comes to education of the medium.
Yes! I always have my coffee when I watch Popcorn Roulette, you know that!
Colonel Sandurz - Of course I do, sir!
EVERYONE knows that!
( _ranks cover crotches_ )
*OF COURSE WE DO SIR!*
☕🎥😜
I'm pretty sure that her's is always "Irished", if you know what I mean
@@billthomas478 ☕🥃🍀
I believe it was the commentary on this film where Mel Brooks spoke about his view on comedy. "I always love a cheap joke." Can't argue with the man, it works.
29:04 "Who _is_ that?" That's ALSO Mel Brooks. 🙂
the doll bit was improvised by Mel and Rick. Mel thought it was so funny he kept it in.
Now that you have seen one Mel Brooks film, you absolutely must check out the silliness of "History of the World, Part I". Of course, no Mel Brooks journey is complete until you have seen "Young Frankenstein" and "Blazing Saddles".
I never thought in 10,000 years Coby would have this much fun with Spaceballs, honest to God, it was fun to watch but it is funny to see her frames of reference, melrose place, John Candy, Joan Rivers, she must be Gen X for sure, she looks a lot younger
(It was Dom DeLuise inside the Pizza-the-hut disgusting makeup). To see him prominently featured in a treasured comedy, watch "The Cannonball Run" (1981).
Mel Brooks also played 'Yogurt' in the film. ...George Lucas lent his blessing, and his special effects company, ILM, to the creation of this film. The only restriction on Brooks was, there was to be no merchandising based on the film. So, of course, Mel packed the story itself with 'Merchandising!' references.
My pics for the greatest comedies ever made... (I would ••LOVE IT•• if you did these!)...
- Team America: World Police (2004) (by Trey and Matt, the South Park guys. Greatest Of All Time!)
- Airplane! (1980)
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
On a level just below those, are:
- The Mask (1994)
- Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) (both Jim Carrey)
For other 'spoof' movies, I'd go with:
- Galaxy Quest (1999) (a treasured movie that spoofs and celebrates the source material and the fan support at the same time!)
- Scary Movie 3 (2003)
- Play It Again, Sam (1971) (Woody Allen, on 'Casablanca'; his first of many team-ups with Diane Keaton)
Dom was also in 3 other Mel Brooks films....The Twelve Chairs, Silent Movie & Robin Hood: Men In Tights...
@@MLJ7956 he was also Buddy the musical director towards the end in Blazing Saddles.
"Well he's an Asshole, sir"
"I know that, what's his name?" ROTFLMAO
Mel Brooks ripping the literal jokes right out from Abbot and Costello.
I never caught that, but it makes sense.
Great start to the weekend thanks Coby!🫶
Pizza the Hut's costume was really made of pizza toppings which got pretty rank by the end of the shoot. The actor who played the radar operator is Michael Winslow who is famous for his impersonations.
Great reaction Coby. Now that you've been introduced to Mel Brooks, you should watch his masterpieces, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.
I'm impressed by how many references you got from that era. It blew my mind that the Wizard of Oz references seemed to go right over your head. It's a classic. Gotta put it on your watch list.
Love your reaction. Your laughter is just infectious. 😄
To this day, the scene with the black Spaceballs combing the dessert with an afro pick and saying "We ain't found shit!" makes me laugh every time. 🤣
Dot was voiced by Joan Rivers. So many great people in this movie...
"I'm a Mawg - half man, half dog, I'm my own best friend." Best line of the whole movie.
A dumb fun movie. I think Mel Brooks was at his best when he worked with Gene Wider, The films The Producers, Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles are classics.
Also the underrated Mel Brooks comedies...The Producers (2005 - with Matthew Broderick & Nathan Lane), The Twelve Chairs, High Anxiety, Silent Movie, History Of The World Part 1, To Be Or Not To Be!, Life Stinks, Robin Hoods: Men In Tights and Dracula Dead & Loving It.
Does anyone else find it funny when Dark Helmet uses his Megaphone to speak to Colonel Sandurz who is right next to him and then yells out using his hand to the guys at a distance who are "combing the desert"?
I've always found that hilarious...as with SOOOOO much in this movie! Ridiculous speed indeed...the whole thing is!
The helmets so big😂😂😂 gigity gigity
Coby didn't think I could love you more! Great reactions! Anyone that can appreciate Mel is beloved to me!
He really takes the piss outa everything with this. You have great folks that have made so many awesome comments here preceding. Mel gets better with each dram much like scotch! You will laugh at all his cheeky and red line encroaching movies! I've worked with a dozen guys in my life who were just like Yogurt and learned a ton of Schwartz wisdom from them each. The life imitating art dynamic is so fun in his movies! Thank You!
Has Coby seen Airplane? Absolutely the best written comedy. Nearly everything is a joke. The only issue is its dated references, but she seems to be pretty slick.
Airplane! is an absolute must see!
She recognized the Abbott & Costello reference so I think she would get all the references in Airplane.
Airplane definitely on the go-watch list
After seeing this, I would absolutely love to see her reaction to watching Airplane. She's old enough to recognize most of the Easter egg references in that movie, but the movie is still hilarious even if you miss them. It is one of those movies that there is no way it could be released today, which are some of the best to watch.
26:40 is a Wizard of Oz reference (the original movie), Dorothy, the tin man, the cowardly lion, and Toto the dog.
Movie that gets no air time by Mel, "To Be or Not To Be" pretty funny, great reaction.
It's hilarious 😂
And Mel's real life wife, Anne Bancroft, is in the movie (and plays Mel's wife too).
"Preparing the ship for metamorphosis." "Ready, Kafka?"
TBH, I think Mel Brooks had lost it by Spaceballs. Now Young Frankenstein - that's genius
I don't feel like he'd lost it. Spaceballs is just a bit different from "classic" Mel Brooks.
Now, History of the World part 2...he's lost it.
Fun Fact: The dolls scene was entire improvised by Rick Moranis. Mel Brookes just handed him the dolls and said do something funny.
I recommend Mel Brookes History of the World - part 1
Hilarious 😆
