Right after we saw this in the theatre, I was pregnant and tired and jokingly asked my husband to do the dishes as he was on his way out the door to golf. We didn’t have a dishwasher. He turned around, walked over to the microwave, beeped a couple buttons and said, “Setting it to Ludicrous Wash…Now.” Still makes me laugh all these years later!

I feel like Rick Moranis just always kills. “When will then be now? - Soon!” Is probably my all time favorite exchange in movie history.

I love how the villain is portrayed here: Small man who tries to compensate with a much too big piece of clothing equipment. Always nervous and worried that someone may find out that he is actually mildly dumb. Not up to date with current developments and dependent on others to explain things and make suggestions without rubbing that in...

This scene was meta even for Mel Brooks.

If you notice the video cassettes are for other Mel Brookes movies

One of my favorite movie scenes of all time; a brilliant, funny, self-promoting, post-modernist idea. I'm a writer, and often when I'm in the midst of creative blues, I wish to myself I could fast-forward to get to the finished piece right away :)

That dialog is the Mel brooks version of Who’s on first !! Brilliant !!!

One of the greatest comedies of all time! So many legends, including the great Rick Moranis, one of the classiest Hollywood actors ever.

A master example of the philosophical concept of 'Now"

I love that you can see the corporal smiling as lord helmet has his little freak out

One of the best movies, ever.

The Power of NOW so well explained in this short.

Mel Brooks movies are the greatest.

May the fourth wall be with you! Great scene.

George Wyner is killing it with his dialogue.

As a philosophy phd studying the concept of time I think back on watching this scene often. I was thinking about it way longer than anyone else I was watching the movie with at like age 10. I guess I never stopped thinking about it. When is now? I still cannot say.

They nailed the reality of time in that one ..
