RE: Anti-Semitic microaggression - Many of Mel Brooks's movies are about taking the power away from racism and anti-Semitism by making them into jokes. Brooks is Jewish himself, but made a comedy movie about Polish Jews under the Nazis (To Be or Not to Be) and a musical and movie with the song "Springtime for Hitler (The Producers). His best film, IMNSHO, is Blazing Saddles, which you should definitely watch.

@ElliotNesterman

IMHO, "The Producers" is Brooks's best film. Not necessarily the funniest, in the sense of having the most jokes, but certainly the best constructed, which is why he won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. FWIW, Brooks's To Be or Not To Be is a remake. The original was made in 1942 and starred Jack Benny and Carole Lombard.

She comes in expecting literal correlation between characters, so gets more & more confused when Barf isn't a faux Wookie, Luke doesn't exist, Vespa is a stereotypical helpless princess, President Skroob isn't a galactic dictator; & the plot is a wild jaunt hitting several scifi & fantasy references!

The scene where the guy had an alien burst out of his chest was a recreation of the same scene form the movie "Alien". The actor was John Hurt, the same actor that had this happen to him in Alien, that's why he said "Not again." Watch Alien, it's a great movie.

Hi Mary! I’m sure everyone has already filled you in, however... Mel Brooks is famous for his satire, spoofing of other movies, breaking the fourth wall and completely throwing PC out the window. He’s a Jewish Actor, Writer, Director, Producer, and Comedian. He makes it a point to consistently take stereotypes of every kind and make fun of it all. Being Jewish himself, he makes it a point to really go to town on his own, as it were. You really have to have seen more films in popular culture before seeing his stuff, to see all the little nods to other films in them. He’s fantastic for a laugh, and yes, you have to throw PC out the window and just have fun. I’d highly recommend reading about the films before going into them, if you see any mentions of the original source films, classics, etc, start there before watching his. His Young Frankenstein is an absolute classic and if you watch anything else of his, I’d recommend starting here. Everyone knows at least a little about Frankenstein. Thanks for your great channel and keep up the great work!

So, here is a very brief crash course in Mel Brooks: As many others have said, Mel Brooks is a very, very Jewish individual. He served in the US Army during WWII defusing landmines. He started out as a writer for Sid Caesar in the late 1940s and into the 1950s with the The Admiral Broadway Revue, Your Show of Shows, and Caesar's Hour (which was kind of the Saturday Night Live of it's day with a cast and writer's room that is still held as a golden standard in comedy). His writing for Sid Caesar actually won him an Emmy for writing. Along with Carl Reiner (who was also on Your Show of Shows and Caesar's Hour and who also created The Dick Van Dyke Show), he created the character of the 2,000 Year Old Man which is a routine he performed with Reiner for over fifty years, producing numerous comedy albums, which won him a Grammy. He created the tv show Get Smart and after that went into film, writing and directing films such as The Producers (for which he won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay), Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, History of the World Part I, Spaceballs, and Robin Hood: Men in Tights. In 2001, his first film, The Producers, was adapted as a Broadway musical and broke the record for most amount of Tony Awards won in an evening. He is one of twelve people on this planet who has won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.

6:33 No, the idea is that the camera zoomed in so close it smacked him in the face. Mel Brooks is big on fourth wall jokes. (As you noticed later.)

Prince Valium is a joke on Prince Valiant

"This is really rude towards Jewish people!" Yeah, welcome to Mel Brooks movies!

Mel Brooks is a comedic genius, but you have to understand his parody ethos. If you can't ruthlessly mock something, you don't really love it. Whoever suggested this movie wildly under-prepared you for it. It is not a simple parody of Star Wars, but of science fiction as a genre, with spoofs of Planet of The Apes, Alien, Buck Rogers and more among the Star Wars gags. Trying to make all the gags fit into a Star Wars shaped box set you up for disappointment. The merchandising joke is a dig at how George Lucas made his fortune through his contract with Fox over the merchandise profits of Star Wars, and how when he was asked for his blessing to parody Star Wars, said it was OK so long as they didn't make merchandise.

Well said I completely agree, If you're not into sci-fi movies or fail to understand self referential humor and happen to be a snowflake this movie will go over your head very quickly

"They don't die from the spaceship being destroyed. That's a bit crazy and hard to believe." Really? THAT is the part you find hard to believe?

okay, that mean no blazing saddles for you

This movie isn't parodying every single aspect of Star Wars

She mentioned not seeing a Luke equivalent and not once mentioning there wasn't an R2-D2 equivalent.

You definitely need to watch “Blazzing Saddles” it has a great social message about diversity in the workplace and our communities

Fun Fact: When Dark Helmet says "Let's take 5", Literally, 5 minutes goes by before a Spaceball ship scene is shown. So in short, they actually took a 5 minute break. lol

I don't know if the joke about the princess being Druish counts as Anti semetic because this movie was written and directed by a jewish guy

This movie is absolutely amazing. 10/10.

Just remember, this was made in a different time when people could take a joke and didn't infer ill-intent where none was implied. Also, Mel Brooks has to be the most Jewish person in Hollyweird.

Is Mel Brooks, arguably the best comedy writer ever and Jewish, anti-Semitic for making a few jokes? No, but the 15-year-old girl from Australia probably is. For God's sake don't watch Blazing Saddles!

Someone needs to watch Star Trek, Alien, and Planet of the Apes apparently

Maybe the real Luke Skywalker we found was the friends we made along the way

Also a "prequel" to the Planet of the Apes. Charlton Heston will end up screaming at the head of the Spaceball 1

Fun fact, if it hasn't been already mentioned - Joan Rivers, the voice of Dot, improvised EVERY single line. She did not have a script.

It’s not just a Star Wars parody. It’s a parody of science fiction. And the joke about being “Druish” isn’t meant to be anti-Semitic. The film’s director Mel Brooks is actually Jewish. In this case it’s just self deprecating humor.

lol, welp she's never seen Alien

There should be a public announcement splash screen at the beginning of every copy of spaceballs.... "Please ensure you have watched Alien before viewing.... " lol

Probably should have watched Alien first...

Mel Brooks is a comedy legend in the USA, and he loves to work in to his comedy references to Jewish culture and his Jewish heritage. When he makes references to "Druish Princess" and such he's satirizing common cultural stereotypes.

Mary, never be offended on behalf of others; unless you actually know a person that is offended. By know I mean actually know and have a relationship with. You are going well out of your way to find offense in jokes that are just that, jokes. As you've read, Mel Brooks is Jewish; in your theoretical hierarchy of offense he has more seniority then you.

Prince Valium is named after the sedative Valium and the newspaper comic character Prince Valiant.

5:21 I think, “Snoddy” is a parody to Montgomery Scott “Scotty” the chief engeneer of USS Enterprise, played by James Dohan. In the original series and movies Scotty is from Scottland, thats why “Snoddy” is wearing a beret and kilt.
