The "Bleeps, Sweeps and the Creeps" guy was almost laughing when he said "I'm having trouble with the radar sir," I swear

[@danielwilliamson6180]

One of the funniest films ever made.

[@JoeyLamontagne]

+Daniel Williamson It's one of my all time favorite films!

[@MissDavids]

Only to those who hated Brooks' earlier movies in the 70s.

[@styx53ocean]

@@MissDavids Mel's 70s movies are funnier than Spaceballs, but Spaceballs is still one of the funniest movies ever made. Nothing will ever top Blazing Saddles, though. If that one came out in today's world, people would lose their MINDS without even getting the joke.

[@downloader1970]

The late and great John Candy RIP funny man. You are missed.

[@sha11235]

I see he used different lines for Dark Helmet when he saw him with the mask down. The line he eventually used was the best.

[@zekecasperanddeadpoolzgroovyst]

sha11235 President Scroob: Never have that damn thing down in front of me! How do I know you're not making faces at me under that thing?!

[@bbenjoe]

Oh John Candy, you gone too soon.

[@sha11235]

I wish he'd do more genre parodies. We still need him more than ever.

[@thewayneflyinghigh9128]

Spaceballs is way, way, way, way better than ANY of the spoof movies today. Wayne Holmes from Sydney, Australia.

[@largol33t1]

Whenever someone talks to me about movies and asks me if I know a good parody, Spaceballs always come to mind.

[@katicasey4610]

largol33t1 Young Frankenstein was pretty good too.

[@MissDavids]

Pretty good?!? Young Frankenstein was and still is a comedy classic!!! It's common knowledge and like I've been trying to say, Spaceballs will be more for Star Wars fans who hate and loathe the early funny films of Mel Brooks. I'm a fan of both SW and early Mel Brooks.

[@PieFights]

Rest In Piece John Candy

[@panowa8319]

Love to have seen how they put together Pizza the Hutt. What I know was that they used pancake batter to give it the melting cheese effect.

[@mr.begotten7324]

Mr. Brooks, You're a National Treasure

[@alexandrebertrand-lafleur3114]

Daphne Zuniga is really cute as Leia/Vespa and Bill Pullman as Han Solo/Lone Star RIP John Candy (Barf) and God bless Mel Brooks!

[@danielwilliamson6180]

+Alexandre Bertrand-Lafleur If it wasn't for Spaceballs, Daphne Zuniga would not had been cast as Beth Logan in The Fly II.

[@alexandrebertrand-lafleur3114]

+Daniel Williamson That damn right!

[@girlofcreativity7667]

By the way, the man who played the Radar Operator in Spaceballs is Michael Winslow, the man of 10,000 sound effects! Just so you know! That is my trivia for you!

[@styx53ocean]

And he was also in Police Academy

[@mistermagic4507]

John Candy giving a serious statement in that costume XD

[@lytlophoenix]

I would love to see another spaceballs movie making fun of the newer star wars films that would be awesome!

[@4ngiel0ver]

Sadly it wouldnt have the same charm without john, plus mel is loosing his spark (cough cough spaceballs the animated series cough cough)

[@annafernan165]

So good to see young Bill Pullman..I always have a big crush on him

[@Choices2aa]

They must have had a blast making this movie classic I wish they would Spaceballs 2

[@sha11235]

That was a gag about why sequels are done.

[@panowa8319]

They did came out with an animated TV series.

[@salsamancer]

I don't see how you could make a better satire of Star Wars than The Last Jedi though

[@Khether0001]

This is by far my favorite comedy of all times, period! but this behind the scenes video was surprisingly barren...

[@user-rv1jk7ek3d]

1:11 Love how they censored the b word

I loved this movie and will always cherish it, the 1st parody movie I ever saw :) Mel Brooks is a legend

Star Wars copied Spaceballs.

[@THAC0MANIC]

Nope Spaceballs is obvioiusly better and Starwars ripped off Spaceballs and used timetravel idiot.

[@darthkurland]

Did anyone notice any other deleted moments from the film?

[@sha11235]

I'd love to see deleted scenes.

[@PlanetExpressYoutubeChannel]

For me, as a filmmaker, filmmaking is a serious business, but I do have a kind (and of course funny) attitude towards my team, just like Mel Brooks himself.

[@hulkhatepunybanner]

JJ Abrams goes to Mel Brooks synagogue. If the first thing that came to mind is a Abrams' remake of Spaceballs then you're probably a Jedi. Spaceballs is being remade by JJ Abrams!

[@darthkurland]

Too bad that they never released any official merchandise.

[@DennisTamayo]

Except for a few things, such as the soundtrack album & the novel.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

0:03 Dune reference.

[@mindfreak0525]

U gotta love Mel Brooks

[@PlanetExpressYoutubeChannel]

I actually love Spaceballs as much as I love the original Star Wars trilogy, despite the silliness. The Prequel trilogy and Sequel trilogy are not as good as them, but they are absolutely not as bad as all the mad haters say they are. I wish people would at least stop b---hing and moaning about them. Same for Return of the Jedi. And yes, I also love Rogue One and Solo, but I don't watch the shows. I don't hate the shows, I just find them too stretchy, but I'm happy for the people that love them, so knock yourselves out if you want to.

[@OatmealDonk]

I feel sad that it doesn't even take a google search for me to know how barfs ears work :-( shows I watch to many behind the scenes...

I miss films that had real models for the visual effects. I mean, I don't hate CGI, but I do prefer real effects. Fun fact, Christopher Nolan used real models for Interstellar. There was a tiny bit of CGI with the blackhole scenes, but the rest of it is real models.

[@SarahLeeCookie]

I ended up with a gigantic crush on Bill Paullman when I was like 6 or 7 because of this movie. First crush ever!! Hehehe!! ;)

I dont like spaceballs its funny but im a great star wars fan

[@emochemonurse]

What does being a big Star Wars fan have to do with not liking Space Balls? Shouldn't it be the opposite?

[@MissDavids]

Spaceballs is just a cult classic and nothing more. Only those three Mel Brooks movies with Gene Wilder have been rated as comedy classics. Fact. Also, what's wrong with overrated films?
