Regarding that sincere wholesome ending, I think that's very important in comedy: No matter how many jokes you cram in, you can't make a joke out of everything.

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

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.

[@sabinebruhns6632]

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.

[@melissacourchesne2121]

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

[@VikingByNature]

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.

[@merovechthe1st]

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.

[@matthewdalzell2294]

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.

[@Nirotix]

The "Comb the desert" bit gets me everytime, and I'm mid 40's 😂 Love the bloody pick at the end😂😂

6:31 The guy that was doing noises, was also on some Police Academy movies and his name is Michael Winslow, "The Man of 10,000 Sound Effects".

[@cloud9847]

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

[@jagramger]

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!

[@erichfellehner7449]

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

[@KayBeeLPKarsten]

8:15 Colonel Sandurz - chicken. Dang, Looks like that joke went over my head until now. XD

[@edgeofentropy3492]

18:32 What you failed to notice is the millennium falcon is in that shot showing the diner and "parking lot." It's in the lower right side underneath the screen of you guys.

[@leventhumps3861]

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.

[@Winchester1984]

Mel brooks got permission from George Lucas under one condition. He wasn't allowed to make actual merchandise. They even worked together a little on it.

[@nathanmills5311]

Wasn't* mate. Think you had a typo there lol. 😁

[@2chaskell]

And that’s where the merchandising bit comes from

[@CartoonEric]

It also helped that George Lucas was a big fan of Mel Brooks himself.

[@TheFacelessStoryMaker]

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

[@andrewv5748]

@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.

[@Gangsta_Playz]

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

[@joonst2123]

‘Your father brother’s nephew’s cousins former roommate’ basically says that lord helmet his lonestar’s former roommate 16:38

What does that make us?

[@reneeg9406]

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 KZbin long time😉

[@MarcCaliber17_Commonweath]

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

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

[@steveo2737]

"Maaaaaan, we ain't found shit!" lololol

[@MortenSjgren]

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

[@devindubay7911]

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!!!!!!!!!!

[@maurer3d]

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.

[@brianbarber5401]

I believe Steve Martin called him the funniest person he’d ever known. Check out Strange Brew.

[@roonilwazlib9877]

@@brianbarber5401 I believe you meant, "Check out Strange Brew, eh?"

[@joshbarbour6483]

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

[@sebastianl.6984]

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

[@jovetj]

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

[@mattheauperry8358]

I watched this movie for the first time recently and the alien scene had me crying laughing harder than any other movie lol

[@MKnife]

This is the second of my favorite Mel Brooks movies ever, the other one is "The Producers". There is a very subtle connection between them (other than Mel himself of course); the person initiating the transformation, or metamorphosis, from Spaceball One to Megamaid is named Kafka. The real Franz Kafka wrote a book called "The Metamorphosis" in which Gregor Samsa turns into a giant insect. In the "The Producers" movie the script for a musical which started with those words was deemed too good to not be a flop. And Spaceballs was made 20 years later.

[@tommyfox854]

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. =)

[@bigdog3628]

6:50 For those of you that are kind of young to know who Michael Winslow is. He is known as the man of 10,000 sound effects. He also played Jones in the police academy movies. A very funny man and it was great seeing him do his bit in this movie.

[@John_Locke_108]

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

[@ZachMilneTalksMovies]

I LOVE this movie! So glad you guys enjoyed it. My favourite Star Wars parody.

[@NiceDudeMovieNight]

Thanks Zach!

[@AndrewMovie13]

I remember the first time I saw how long the ship was in the opening shot, I actually laughed uncontrollably

[@sassysuzy4u]

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

[@garethridings5338]

One of my favorite parts of this movie was the jumping through the closing doors and finding out it's the stunt doubles

[@interghost]

Great video guys... but wow... Kindergarten Cop!!!! That is an AMAZING movie!!!! Plz do that one next!

[@NiceDudeMovieNight]

That one is definitely on our list. HUGE Arnold fans over here 💪

[@interghost]

@@NiceDudeMovieNight One of his BEST..!

[@morganrobinson2436]

Just finished this and your reaction to Blazing Saddles! Mel Brooks is a GOD, I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as hard in movies as I have with these. I love your guys reactions, they are so animated and genuine! Please check out Robin Hood, men in tights soon!

[@DanJackson1977]

I saw this when it was in theaters with my dad... we LOVED the commercials that featured the "Moichendizing" bit... and my dad was a huge Brooks fan.. which is why I was shocked that, while I was enjoying it, he was flat out board. It didnt work for him.. and I kinda get it. Brooks' 70s movies were on another level.. I think this one lacked some of the subtler wit of those films. Theres still a lot to like though. And now that star wars is so much more than 3 films this maybe resonates more these days.

[@isaacphillips9844]

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!

[@MrSpannners]

This is literally one of my favourite movies, maybe even my favourite. It's just a perfect parody movie that makes me laugh every single time

[@noir-214]

1:06 "This ship is too big if I walk the movie will be over"

I watched this movie when I was 12 with two of my best friends. The ship scene alone had us laughing our asses off.

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!

This whole movie can be summed up with "This is so dumb! *hysterical laughter*"
