It's hard to be that consistently funny and still tell stories about people worth caring about.

Or "Dead Pan Humor", usually characterised by doing silly/dumb things, while treating it seriously. I absolutely love those types of movies, and am very sad that the "genre" faded out in time.

The backstory on Spaceballs is amazing - Mel Brooks met with George Lucas to get his blessing before making the movie. The only condition he had was that they couldn't make Spaceballs merchandise for real, as that got into licensing and there would be lawsuits. So, if you want a Spaceballs shirt, you'll have to go to Esty or something. Also, ILM made the models so Spaceballs One is an eleven foot long model. That's why it looks so good.

The ship in the beginning is a clear play on the long shots of the Star Destroyers. Only Brooks is a genius at making things more absurd for humor, and ILM was absolutely incredible at making massive models. The original USS Enterprise-D model was over 18ft, if I remember right.

I always thought it was a take on the beginning of ALIEN. When the Nostromo was slowly creeping past the screen.

It actually is a spoof on the beginning of Alien. Even though most of the film spoofs on star wars, it also has jokes on many other sci fi films

"We ain't found shit!" is possibly the best line and delivery in cinema history.

The man at the jammed radar screen is Michael Winslow, who is known as the voice of 10,000 sound effects! Among his best work is in the Police Acedemy series of movies, where he does many different hilarious voices and effects.

As someone who has only seen SW4&5 and a huge Mel Brooks fan, this is way up there amongst my favorites. The self-aware spoof-ness of it all and the many, many movie references makes it chefs kiss of comedy

The sound effects guy is Michael Winslow. He was in the Police Academy movies also. At least the first one anyway. He's a unique kind of impressionist.

I believe he was the only actor to appear in all 7 Police Academy movies, plus the short lived cartoon.

Mel Brooks movies are basically live-action Loony Tunes. The old ones. The really, really old ones. I saw this at the theater when I was a kid.

I love Space Balls. I remember showing it to my little brother and just laughing our asses off! We still quote it. It’s timeless.

It's really subtle and easy to miss, but the radar scene when the camera is coming in close you can see Col. Sanders standing next to Dark Helmet notices it's going to hit them and his eyes go wide, he makes a face like "Oh shit" and backs away out of the sbot. That scene and the "Keep firing assholes!" scene are the two best in the film.

@6:32 the guy making the sounds is Michael Winslow, he’s well known for all the different sounds and voices he can make. He’s got a hilarious stand up you two should check out

He also was one of the main characters in Police Academy. Doing all that stuff.

Yet another case of the “It’s so bad it’s good” The amount of 4th wall breaks in this movie makes it stupidly funny

I was a kid when this came out. It's a classic. "we aint found shit" was a staple in my comedic childhood growth. You need to binge Mel Brooks movie

I've watched quite a few reactions to this movie and the two of you got almost all of the references to older movies in this. The guy making noises with his mouth is Michael Winslow and in Police Academy he played a police recruit that could make almost any noise imaginable. In Spaceball city the twins chewing gum was a reference to the Doublemint Twins gum commercials from the 80s.

It would have been so funny if it was like this Barf: "The Force?!" Yogurt: "Shh.. you want to get sued?"

11:25 A little Trivia: You said the scene looked like the scene in the Wizard of Oz? Well, that's the exact same stage as the Wizard of Oz scene was filmed back in 1938 at MGM. This Spaceballs scene was also the last movie to be shot on that stage shortly before the stage was torn down.

16:38 Lone Starr’s Father. (Father’s) Lone Starr’s Uncle. (Brother’s) Nephew’s. (Lone Starr) Cousin’s. (Lone Starr’s cousin) Former Roommate

I’ve watched this movie like 30 times in my life and I still love it every damn time.

I'm about to be 42 and was raised by my grandparents. I absolutely love seeing the next generation rediscover the comedy classics.

Seriously, watching you guys watch this was such a delight. This is a childhood favorite of mine and seeing you guys watch it fresh like this was so fun!

I'm glad you two had such a wonderful time watching this; I've seen it dozens of times and it never ceases to be funny, welcome to SPACEBALLS: The Fan Club. =)

During the scene, where the beaming goes wrong, you see the "beaming engineer" with a strange looking hat. That is part of a scotish traditional clothing - to go for "Beam me up, Scotie". As you said, in every scene there is a ton of jokes and references. You can watch the movie over and over again and it never gets boring.

Reference of Scotty in Star Trek, the character who is in charge of teletransportation.

The man who went "we ain't found shit" is Tim Russ, Lt. Tuvok from Star Trek Voyager

I miss seeing Rick Moranis so much, he was such a great comedic actor. Sadly his wife past away so young... He retired to take care of his kids and has only done a few minor cameo type things since.

I've stumbled across now several of your videos and watching ya'll genuine first time reactions is utterly fantastic to partake in.

@6:50 They didn't just get the actor for that scene. He did ALL of the sound effects for the movie. @12:34 the scene with the guy showing "We ain't found S***", that's Tim Russ, aka Tuvok, saying that. @18:32 if you had shown the entire outside of the diner, you would see the Millennium Falcon parked there. And yes, that was John Hurt reprising his role from Alien.

Thanks for that. I love the movie but you guys pointed out moments that I don’t notice anymore or appreciate as I should. It was so much fun watching along with you.

Much appreciated 🙏🙏

Great reaction! My favourite thing about Mel Brooks movies is how often he breaks the 4th wall. Characters are almost always talking or looking out to the audience and cameras and such keep showing up. He wants to make sure you remember you are watching a film. haha

"That's so stupid" is the motto of this movie and I love it to death

The sound effects guy is Michael Winslow - same dude who did that stuff in the Police Academy movies. He`s a comedian with a talent for sound effects. And, yes it`s Joan Rivers!

Watching your reaction video makes me feel really old. Saw this in the theater with my family the day it came out. As a Star Wars kid, this movie rocked my World! I still love it!!!

i love this 2 people who can appreciate some comedic gold

Love this movie and Mel Brooks! Blazing Saddles is one of Mel Brooks' best movies- you should definitely put that on your list to watch.

Probably the best parody ever made and the jokes still works nearly 35yr later. 😂

Saw this movie at the cinema with a classmate here in Germany. IIRC the two of us were the only ones in the theater. I haven't watched it in years but it will always have a special to me. Mel Brooks was such a rare blend of witty, brilliant, ironic, and kind-hearted. Back then, some of the less obvious references were lost on me. So thanks for closing those gaps along with reminding me that I need to re-watch this movie ASAP.

7:01 you can actually see the guy on the right notice the camera and move out of the way

I love your reaction to this classic. Especially that you are saying "that is so stupid" so often but still laugh your asses off about the same things. Hilarious

"Stupid" is easily confused here with "Obvious". The jokes weren't stupid, they were obvious. 🙂

Your laugh is completely contagious, both of you. I can recite every word of this movie. I know everything that's coming. And I've seen a ton of reactions to it. But this is probably one of the best reactions I've seen in a long time, like before KZread long time😉

Really? First Mel brooks movie? Where have you guys been , under a rock lol Love Mel Brooks . This movie I had recorded on a blank VHS tape and everyday after school id come home and rewatch it lol Such a funny movie!

I watched this movie as a teen the first, second... seven times in one week, I and my friend laughed so much every time. It still brings laugher just watching you guys.

If you guys haven't seen the Merrie Melodies cartoon short "One Froggy Evening" you need to!

I was 10 when I first saw this. It was the funniest thing I had ever seen in my life.

"This move is so stupid!" "I love it!" I mean you pretty much summed up Mel Brooks entire movie catalogue right there.

I love how often you guys said "this is stupid!" So great

I'm glad you enjoyed the 4th wall break with the cassette. Brilliant scene and Rick Moranis is funny as always.

I FREAKING LOVE THIS MOVIE, THESE “JOKES” MIGHT BE STUPID BUT THEY ARE THE BEST TYPE OF JOKES THAT WE DONT NORMALLY GET LIKE EVER! SO FREAKING CLEVER, AND THAT AMAZING FOURTH WALL BREAK WHICH IS BTW THE ABSOLUTE BEST 4TH WALL BREAK!!!!!!!!!!

Wow- space and the lighting in those old movies are trully amazing! So mysterious, so "deep spacey"...

"This movie's so stupid I love it." The best review for this movie I've ever heard!
