*SPACEBALLS* is hilariously stupid 

This movie is equally stupid, hilarious, moronic, amazing, idiotic, hysterical, and glorious all at the same time! Thanks for telling me about this one, guys!

I don't think you'd survive "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (1975). But you're welcome to try.

Not only did Lucas endorse this movie, he let them use ILM (the VFX studio he founded) to do the VFX for it which is why the production value is so high. His only condition was that they couldn’t sell any products related to the film, hence the merchandising gag.

Fun fact: the doll scene was 100% improvised by Rick Moranis. The director looked at him and said something along the lines of "here, take these and do something funny"

“I’m a Mawg. Half man, half dog. I’m my own best friend.” RIP John Candy

George was all for this movie. He only said that Lonestar can’t look like Han. So instead he looks like Indiana Jones since Harrison Ford played both characters

So many people ask "Why did they even put a reverse function on it to begin with?" and it boggles my mind every time I hear someone ask that. They are stealing the air because their planet is running out of air... they would need a way to get it back out when they get back to their planet lol.

John Hurt essentially recreated the scene of Alien bursting out of his stomach from Alien.,That's why he said "not again!"

This film shaped my humor a lot and it shows 😂 Also “keep firing Assholes” lives rent free in my head and sometimes I just say it whenever I’m with friends who are about to do stupid and unorganized. The Lea headphones was the moment I knew I loved this movie ❤

Hey guys! Editor here, hope you enjoyed the reaction! I realized that I might went a little overboard on the editors notes for this one so sorry about that! Alex and the movie just gave me a lot to work with on this one 😂 Anyways, hope you like the video and I’ll see you in the next one, much love!

The guy with the sound effects was Michael Winslow, aka the Man with 10,000 sound effects and is in all of the Police Academy movies + tv series.

4:30 "Gail's" name is Dot Matrix which was a common type of printer at the time. She's voiced by Joan Rivers who was a big comedian that most younger people know from doing interviews on the red carpet with her daughter Melissa

"Funny, she doesn't look Druish." is one of the funniest lines in the history of cinema.

Petition for Alex to watch every Mel Brooks film. With apologies to Aaron.

Mel Brooks is a mastermind of comedic spoofs. Please watch more of his work!

Fun Fact: The Spaceball combing the desert with the pick, "We ain't found sh*t," went on to star in another beloved sci-fi franchise. He played Tuvok on Star Trek: Voyager!

I love how most of the best jokes in the movie went over Alex’s head. Lol

Rambo is an awesome movie. The first one is not only an action movie, but explores PTSD, survivor's guilt, and how America treated returning Vietnam vets, among other things. It is a HEARTBREAKING film. The other Rambo movies pretty much go all-in on the action movie trope, but Rambo (actually called "First Blood") is a masterpiece. You should ABSOLUTELY watch it.

Spaceballs! The RU-vid Commemtary!

The guy who said, "We ain't found shit!" is Tim Russ. He was CDR Tuvok in Star Trek Voyager.

Spaceballs and Independence Day, is the reason I call Bill Pullman...President Lonestar.

The long ship gag always gets me, its like the part in the holy grail where john cleese is just running and running and running and running while the guards stand there gawking smacking their lips 😂

Mel was told he couldn't make Lone Star look like Han solo, so he made him look like Indiana jones

4:20 The _look_ on Alex's face when Dot Matrix came on screen was so infectious I grinned and laughed aloud! So adorable!

It’s not a flying squirrel, it’s a sugar glider. You’re welcome Alex, from Australia.

Well you did ask what George Lucas thought about this movie: Mel Brooks asked him permission to make this, Lucas agreed as long as they didn't try to sell any Spaceballs merchandise from the movie. That's why they put in the merchandising jokes

I really want them to say Spaceballs 2 is coming out, make a trailer, promote it, release a full merch line, and then just never release it.

The nurse that gives “Great Helmet” is the same actress that was Denise Richard’s Captain in Starship Troopers. She also has a memorable reoccurring role on Seinfeld.

70s and 80s comedies were something special.

That Alien guy was the same actor as in the original Alien movie. (That is why he said "Oh no, not again") Also, have you seen the license plate on the Princess's car? (SPOIL'D ROTT'N 1) That prince was yawning all the name because of his name, Prince VALIUM. And many other things that you missed.

At a comic con I went to a few years back I bought a poster of Dark Helmet with the line "Evil will always triumph because good is dumb".

I think we actually need Alex to watch some John Candy movies

The scene with Pizza the Hut could only be filmed once. The interior of the costume was practically an oven. Think about it, that was real melted cheese, sauce, bread and pepperoni. The actor had to be pulled out due to heat exhaustion (if not heat stroke). Afterwards, the actor received medical advice not to get in the costume again and then he refused to do so once he was back on set. No other actors would get in the costume after they saw what happened to the original actor, so they had to use what film they managed to get on the first and only recording.

Tesla named their performance levels on the original Model S from this movie - Ludicrous mode went 0-60 in 2.5 seconds, and Plaid mode went 0-60 in 1.9 seconds.

"What the hell is that? And why does my brain know that?" That's The Colonel Bogey March, made famous by its use in the movie The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) starring Alec Guinness, who later went on to play Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original Star Wars trilogy. The march has since been used in many other places, and is one of those pieces of music that everyone knows although many probably have no idea where they know it from.

I appreciate that he's begun his journey into watching all the movies of everything, but good glob, there's so much this guy hasn't seen. A salute to your journey on getting more culture.

Honestly this was kind of your personal Event Horizon, Alex. From the moment you watched Star Wars, your life entered a point of no return where it became your destiny to watch SPACEBALLS as well.

I heard from somewhere that a sequel was being talked about "Spaceballs 3: the search for Spaceballs 2"

I watched this right after release and still use the "Keep firing, assholes" at work and general situations to this day. What a quotable movie...

I remember as a child, I hadn't seen Aliens at the time so the alien scene with John Hurt traumatized me.

SPACEBALLS?!? .. oh shit! .. there goes the planet!

Favorite line, Did you guys find anything yet? We ain’t found shit! 😂

Haven’t seen this movie in years but both the combing the desert thing and Princess Vespa taking off her hair/headphones live rent free in my head. Also, do Americans not know what Vespas are? It’s so common to see them driving around in Europe, I never even considered they wouldn’t be known over there.

Spaceball One is like the Energizer bunny, it keeps going and going. Also, if you pay attention you might see a cameo by Robin Williams dressed as a Spaceball, with his eyes crossed.

The innuendos in this are about to hit levels not seen before on this channel... I fear for Aarons safety editing it.

"We ain't found shit!" You need to watch Star Trek: Voyager. That guy (Tim Russ) is in it as Lieutenant Commander Tuvok.

The reason that the escape pod scenes looked so much like actual Star Wars footage is that parts of that scene actually was unused Star Wars footage that Mel Brooks was allowed to make use of.

The guy in the diner with the chest buster was played by John Hurt, the same guy from Alien. And if you haven't seen Aliens yet you are missing out on one of the best action movies. Watch the extended version.

It is impressive how many jokes and movie references Alex missed😂 Spaceballs is a great movie to check how many movies someone has watched haha

20:47 Lucas loved the script and gave Mel Brooks his blessing on one condition, he could not release any Spaceballs merchandise. Industrial Light and Magic even did some of the effect work for this movie.

dude blazing saddles and robin hood: men in tights are the true peak of mel brooks classic (as in nobody would come NEAR those scripts today) comedy GOLD 100%

That radar scene was a cameo of Michael Winslow. He was also in _Police Academy_ He bills himself as “The Man Of 10,000 Sound Effects”, as every single sound effect-the radar pings, the static, the PA page, to describing “The Sweeps, the Bleeps and the Creeps” is made with his own mouth. He’s got some old standup that’s hysterical, specifically the one about him renting a truck.

17:15 It's called, Colonel Bogey's March. It was originally composed in 1914 by the British army. It was used in the movie, The Bridge On The River Kwai.

You mention that Lonestarr looks like knockoff Indiana Jones. George Lucas helped Mel Brooks a bunch on the production of this movie, and he asked that the hero not look like Harrison Ford's character Han Solo. So Mel Brooks made him look like Harrison Ford's character Indiana Jones (another George Lucas movie) instead.

As with all Mel Brooks movies, there’s a high dose of stupid funny in them… history of the world is amongst my favorite from him

This was the throwback reaction I didn’t know I needed. I haven’t thought about this movie in nearly decades, but could still quote it right alongside ya. Hell yeah

First Blood is a MUST.

ya gotta go back to Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein to truly *get* Mel Brooks

When he didn’t realize the parody with the slow credits and the drawn out ship pass by within the first minute I knew this would be bad lol.

“We ain’t found shit!” is so funny lmao

At their best, Mel Brooks's comedies are the perfect kind of stupid fun. I highly recommend some of his other spoofs: "Robin Hood: Men in Tights", "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" and "Blazing Saddles" :)

Now watch Airplane!, Top Secret, Hot Shots and The Naked Gun :)

Watching your reaction makes me miss my old warehouse job, because my coworkers would quote this, Monty python, and Austin powers.

Rick Moranis completely ad-libbed the scene with Dark Helmet playing with dolls.

The opening scene with the loooooooong ship reveal is a poke at Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey which had sequences just like this, unironically :P Prince Valium is a joke on what wives in the 80's used to do when they were tired of dealing with their husbands, they'd "go sleep with Prince Valium" (Valium being a sedative drug "We all know Prince Valium's a pill!" says Dot)

Dude Transformers humor is literally made for u

John Hurt, who plays the guy with the chestburster in the diner, is the also the actor who played Kane in Alien. That's why he says "not again".

"Light the candles and spin the dreidel, 'cause she's a Dru!" 🤣💀

"Harry started feeling around the trees, and he said 'I know we're on pluto"?... Harry how can you tell?? "From the Bark!.. (pluto... as in the Disney dog)

7:44 The Doublemint Twins! They were iconic in the '80s!

Fun fact: brooks said he’d have made the entire movie just the ship passing by if he could’ve gotten away with it

Fun fact: one of the conditions this movie was made on was that they weren't allowed to produce any merchandise for it because they didn't want Spaceballs merch to compete with merch from the movies it was parodying. So, thus was born the merchandising scene in the movie. A bunch of stuff you can't actually get. And darn, I really wanted that Spaceballs: The Flame Thrower too. I'd have loved that as a kid! 😆

9:45 "this is stupid but i kinda love it" i think we found this channels catch phrase!

The "playing with your dolls again" scene? ALL IMPROVISED.

When they are walking up to the statue of Yogurt is also a reference to the in " The Wizard of Oz" when they've walking up to see the Wizard. The dinks that rescue them in the desert is a reference to " Snow White and the Seven Dwarves " and " Star Wars ". Valium is a medicine that can knock you out. Hence Prince Valium is always starting to fall asleep. The man with the alien coming out of him is John Hurt. The same thing happened to him in "Alien". That's why he said " Oh no. Not you again ". The head of megamaid and apes seeing it is a reference to " The Planet of The Apes " first movie. Great that you saw the Millennium Falcon at the restaurant. Most people don't see it until someone tells them.

I love how this movie subjected Alex to himself and made him just shake his head and roll his eyes. Now you know how we feel

Jawa song is from the film "Bridge on the River Kwai". Which starred Alec Guinness. Who played Obi Wan in the original Star Wars.

The alien that pops out of the guys chest is a loony toons reference when it puts the top hat on and sings

I will never blame Rick Moranis for leaving the movie industry to be with his family. He gave us so many amazing memories.

One of my absolute favorite Mel Brooks films. That man is one of the greatest comedic directors ever in my opinion. There was nothing off limits to him and he made fun of everything and everyone. Love him and his movies

This is one of my favorite movies, I’ve been watching this since I was like 3 years old! I still quote this movie all the time. This is one of the best parody movies of all time. The scene where Darth Helmet is playing with the dolls and the scene where they shoot the princess’ hair and she mows them all down have always been my favorite 😂

17:00 "What is that and why does my brain know it?" It's Colonel Bogey. It's a traditional march and has been in a lot of movies.

Fun fact. George Lukas loved this movie, he okayed the Millennium Falcon cameo (well spotted by the way, most people miss it). The merchandising company for Star Wars on the other hand, played hard ball. This movie was only allowed if they agreed to do *no merchandising of any kind.* That caused 2 changed to this movie, the merchandising scene and the name of the 'force' knockoff. See, the *Schwartz* company did the merchandising for Star Wars. So the 'greatest power in the universe' was Schwartz merchandising.

Frankly I'm impressed that you had nothing to say about "They've gone to plaid!"

Love Rick Moranis! Would recommend checking out 'Honey, I Shrunk the Kids' (1989) and its sequel 'Honey, I Blew Up the Kid' (1992). They'd make for really fun reactions. 🧡

You will definitely love rambo 1 and 2. You would also love the original planet of the apes despite how old it is. They are just damn good movies.

Prince Valium is a sleeping pill Dot is a reference to the dot matrix Princess Vespa is an Italian motorbike

2:57 "Smoke 'em if you got 'em" is an old joke from when you could smoke on airplanes said when "the plane is going down" usually in movies but I've heard it used as a general shit is about to hit the fan kind of joke too 😅😅

After all the remarks you have said in all the other reaction videos, hearing you say this is stupid is the most ironic thing ever, Love it!

YOU NEED TO WATCH THE FIRST RAMBO MOVIE. It's a real Masterpiece. I cried at the end of it.

I love that George Lucas let Mel Brooks make this. 18:08 Wizard of Oz reference. Mel Brooks had to walk on his knees for the Yogurt role. 20:10 gotta remember Mel Brooks is Jewish so he tends to put Jewish jokes in his movies. 20:51 Lucas loved it. He had a couple stipulations like no merchandise could be sold for the movie and the character Lone Star couldn’t be like Han Solo so he did Indiana Jones. 21:42 they were working on the sequel “Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2”. 27:59 how else were they going to let the air out on their planet? 32:30 for the circus that’s on the ship. 33:47 did you catch the joke with the prince? His name was Prince Valium and was always tired. They said earlier he was a pill. 36:15 “Planet of the Apes”. 36:50 I thought it was funny they had the costume change for Lone Star and Barf. Mel Brooks does a great job giving you a laugh when you need it no matter how dumb it is.

“ i am your father’s brothers uncles cousin’s former roommate” I loveee that😂😂😂 And how all the guys are cross eyed

As soon I saw this notification I got super excited because this movie is so goofy lmaoooo

We ain't found shit! Kills me every single time lmao

14:48 Everyone thinks Deadpool did it first but Ryan Reynolds was a kid of the 80’s. This is peak classic humor to us!

Interesting tidbit for Pizza the Hutt. The actor (Dom Deluise) got second and third degree burns from the "melting cheese" and the effects worker refused so hard to do any reshoots he quit when Mel suggested it.

26:16 - yes. if you have not watched the Rambo movies you 100% should. 1,2 and 4 at least. 3 and 5 are optional.

I'm glad you finally got to experience the world of Mel Brooks! Highly recommend you watch Men in Tights next! Have seen it with my siblings sooo many times. LOVE IT

Prince Valium, besides being a play on how sleepy the prince is, is also a mockery of Prince Valiant, who was a famed comic strip character of the early-late 1900s.

So now he had to work his way through the Mel Brooks library, right? Men in Tights, Blazing Saddles...
