Mel Brooks Returning as Yogurt in Spaceballs Sequel

Spaceball One has a new staff member on the Bridge crew: a Jar Jar Binks knock off.

Dark Helmet: "Somebody blow this guy out an air lock!"

Colonel Sandurz: "Already on it, sir."
 
Dark Helmet: "How the hell did the airlock already blow him out -- I didn't push the button! I wanted to push the button!"

Colonel Sandurz: "It's new artificial intelligence, sir, with predictive algorithms."

Dark Helmet: "Predict this," flips it off.
 
Dark Helmet:” Go to ridiculous speed!”

Sandurz: “We can’t sir, there is a problem with the transmission.”

Dark Helmet:”What does sending messages have to do with going to ridiculous speed?”

Sandurz:”No sir. The engine transmission.”

Dark Helmut:” I knew that. Everybody knows I know that.”

(Everyone covers their groin)

(Everyone)

“Yes, sir!!!”

Maybe they could do jokes in the background a la Airplane.

Yeah, I've loved movies where some of the best jokes happen in the background.

And I imagine a scene where Dark Helmet is walking down a corridor that becomes shorter and shorter. As he hits his head, his face contorts in pain, as if he's yelling out.

"Oh god, that looks painful", one of his aides remarks, "But how come we don't hear anything?"

"Speed of Light vs Speed of Sound", another remarks." You'll hear it in just about.... *and they all cover their ears as the loudest string of curses finally catches up to them*.

"Should we help him??, "the first one remarks again

"No, he'll be fine. This corridor was never designed for helmets like his."

Another joke when he introduces his son.

"Well, where is he? I don't see anyone. "

"Right here, you grunts!" a small voice comes from close to the floor. "You'll listen to me if you know what's good for you."

"Aww, how cute. He's... tiny. What do they call you, sir?"

"Don't you dare call me tiny! My Schwarts is bigger than yours! You'll call me Big Daddy."

"Say sir, *motioning towarsd Dark Helmet* , "I don't think we want to know about the mother."
 
Or how about a scene where a Sapceball solider is running, hits his head like in A New Hope, and as he runs by in a groups, curses, "Who the fuck would put that there so low!"
 
Somebody or persons go looking for Lone Star.

They find him on a planet alone, on the ground (like Hasselhoff and the cheeseburger), wild unkempt beard, sucking space cow milk out of space cow tits.

Lone Star: "What? Isn't this how all civilized hermits get their space cow milk?"

Or the floor becomes a massive slip and slide after he fails to notice a wet floor sign, then zooms down the floor knocking officers down like bowling pins as he slides across.

"Ok, who the f!#& decides to clean a floor in the middle daily drill excersizes!" He curses then spots the nearest custodian and says, "You sir, you're fired!"

Or you could even do the two. First he knocks his head hard, and because of this fails to see the sign.

"Dangit, what a day. I need coffee!"
 
Kai the spy said:
"Have you found what's been clogging the toilets?"

Darth Helmet: “Have you seen my collectors’ items? My 40 th anniversary Spaceballs actions figures?”

Sandurz:” No sir. I have not seen your dolls. At least not lately.”

Dark helmet:” What about you two?”

“We ain‘t found shit!”
 
Dark Helmet: Playing with Tuvokball action figure and doing a mocking voice, "I still ain't found shit."

Then picks up Dark Helmet action figure and in a deep voice he laughs, "HaHaHAAA, and you never will. That'll teach you for making fun of the size of my helmet."

Colonel Sanders- Sir! LoneStarr One is is crossing the border!

*Cut to a scene in space where LoneStarr One is drawing a big "X" over the border*

Dark Helmet- OH! I hate it when they do that!
 
Because of all this, I decided to watch it for the first time in years. There was still a bit of a nostalgic factor, though watching it now, it does seem like the non-Moranis scenes suffer a bit. I don't think I realized how much heavy lifting he did in that movie. The visual gags are all still good; it's mostly spoken gags that fall flat now.

One line that drives me crazy is when Scroob says, "What the hell, it works on Star Trek!" Like he didn't trust us to get it despite the 20 Trek references that preceded that line in the beaming scene.

Fortunately, it's followed up by one of the best gags in the movie, when it's revealed that Scroob was just over in the next room.

Since it was in 4K, it was the first time I noticed the suit performer's chin in Pizza the Hutt's mouth. All these years I thought it was a weird, puppeted tongue, but it's a prosthetic of something stuck to his chin. You can see the guy's mouth, teeth, and beard. :lol:
 
I can criticize a movie all day, but for me, the only question that matters is, did I enjoy watching it? In other words, was it fun? If the answer is yes, thumbs up, warts and all. If the answer is no, no matter how supposedly perfect it is otherwise, thumbs down.

No, Spaceballs is not as good as Blazing Saddles or Young Frankenstein. On the other hand, few movies are.

The important thing is, bottom line, I enjoyed watching Spaceballs. There are some great laughs in it. Moranis is aces, but also funny are Barf, Dot Matrix (Rivers and Yarnell are both fantastic), the Princess, Sandurz, and Brooks, especially as Yogurt.

Will I enjoy SB2? :shrug: We'll see!
