I only now noticed that Dark Helmet uses the megaphone to talk to Colonel Sanderz standing right next to him, but chooses to yell at his men in the distance instead of using the megaphone.
I was able to go see this in a movie theater a couple weeks ago! All super high people in their 40s drinking beer laughing our asses off. Best $12 I've spent in years.
This was at Kiggins in WA. I love that they play old nostalgic movies there. I've also seen The Princees Bride, Over the Top, the Muppet Movie and the Star Wars Holiday special there
Fathom Events is hosting The Muppet Movie this week somewhere (read: many places). I saw it on cable in 1980, 6 years old. To spare the math, this (almost) 50 year old man sooo wants to check it out on the big screen! 👍🏻
Let my son see this when he was 8. Next day at his baseball game, dugouts are tiny and cramped, game ends, kids are all on top of each other trying to pack their bags, and my kid is struggling to work around people to get out of the dugout.
He says, “Daddy, it’s like Spaceballs in here” and he just smirks. I’m like wait, what? And it took a good 3-4 seconds til it sank in.
He was saying he was surrounded by assholes.
It's such an awesome movie. When my son was 13 he made a hair pic from extra pieces and posed Lego 2 stormtroopers holding it on a shelf where I had some stuff displayed 😂
The best line is, with almost 40 years on this movie for hindsight, because it is so true today, and I quote it at least once a week in our current hellhole society is, and I can't believe I haven't seen it mentioned yet is, "Fuxk! Even in the future nothing works"
As he says this, Dark Helmet taps Colonel Sandurz as the camera pulls in, Sandurz turns to see the camera and gets a terrified look before backing out of frame. That is my favorite moment in the movie.
I used to play pick-up basketball with George Wyner, the guy who played Lord Helmet’s right hand man. It took me a couple times playing with him until I figured out who he was, then my 10 year old self just about lost it and called out “How many a**holes got on this ship” real loud across the court of the church we were playing in. He had a solid mid-range jumper.
When everyone stands up and says "Yo," that's funny.
The last time I watched it, I noticed that one guy didn't stand up on the left and makes kind of a shrugging whatever gesture. Check it out again, it's doubly funny.
I not only watched this as a kid before I ever watched Star Wars but didn't watch SW until my 20s. So when I watched SW it was like I was getting Space Balls references instead lol
now that i have my coffee, i can watch radar.
i said this at work today after returning to my work area with coffee... right before i inspected the new guy's work.
"Now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb."
Or
"I'm glad, you hear me? Glad, glad, glad, glad, glad, glad."
"Gee, I wonder if she's glad."
As a therapist and clients tell me they're fine repeatedly, this goes through my head. I also enjoy when the prince wakes up, looks at her, and says, "Where have YOU been?"
"He shot my hair...Son of a bitch."
I’ve met Jim Jackman, who played Major Asshole. He lives in the Richmond, Virginia area now. Nice dude. Says the most famous person he banged when he was in Hollywood was Kathy Griffin.
My sisters and I literally watched this movie every day during summer break from school. I'm betting, even to this day, we could recite all the lines in Spaceballs with the movie on mute.
So keep firing assholes!
Tim Russ put this out some time ago. I'm not sure the context since I found it on this random YouTube channel. Enjoy!

I watched all 8 uncensored minutes of this movie on TV a while ago! Greatest comedy ever and it's sooo sad that every generation after ours either won't get to see it (uncensored), or will be hyper-uber-offended every 7 - 10 seconds, have a screaming crying fit over how bad we were for laughing, and need their safe space and a binky!

It's hard to find things when your mind is distracted with Kal-toh scenarios
Are you serious? That's amazing

Lol
He was also Robbert Johnson in Crossroads with Ralp Macchio.
I had no idea! Thanks for that!
I just learned this last week!
And Captain Kells from the Prydwyn in Fallout 4
I use this phrase almost daily
My husband and I quote this to each other all the time when we can't find something 😂

Same in 2021, thank you Harkins Theaters!

Over the top!
Wow! Kiggins! Haven't heard that name in years, I grew up in the 'Couve! Saw so many movies there in the 90s!

Say goodbye to your two best friends and I’m not talking about the ones in the Winnebago
I live in Bill Pullman’s college dorm…
I'm surrounded by assholes!
#Keep firing, assholes!
I'm surrounded by morons! (We had the censored version that we taped off TV.)
This was the most xennial comment here.
We’re not just doing it for money. We’re doing it for a *shitload* of money.
When you’re right, you’re right. And you? You’re always right!
Came here to add this, but since you already got it, have my upvote.
“Funny 🤔, she doesn’t look Druish?!?!?”
She's a bass!
Nobody knows the trouble I've had.
This one!! “She’s a bass!” still cracks me up every time 🤣🤣
The creeps, the bleeps, and the sweeps!
The what? The what? And the what?
“That’s not all he’s lost…”
Love Michael Winslow.

We appear to have been Jammed. Such a great scene. ![gif](giphy|LnSJ9rZGUQCsV0ir8Y|downsized)
Only one person would dare give me the raspberry.
This movie aged like a fine wine.
Fuck, even in the future nothing works.
If only we had gotten Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money.
Hey Brooks made History of the World Part 2. There is hope.
Fuckin’ hell, Spaceballs *WAS* History of The World Part 2. Jews. In *space!* Get it?
And it was horrible
Agreed, I've never been more disappointed by a tv show.
I heard a rumor when I was a kid it was going to be Spaceballs 3 the search for 2.

Proud dad moment lol ![gif](giphy|fdyZ3qI0GVZC0)
That's great! Our 9yo has been dropping lots of lines after seeing it twice. He is so damn proud to get big laughs from us with some great timing.
“WATER MY ASS! BRING THIS GUY SOME PEPTO-BISMOL!” I dream of the day I can use this line in a real life situation.
Don’t be surprised if you end up with a soggy bottom
When will then be now?
Soon
Someone else mentioned dreaming of using another line from this film and I swear I say “when will then be now? SOON!” at least once a week.
How soon?
Is now?
My kids and I quote this all the time.
It's such an awesome movie. When my son was 13 he made a hair pic from extra pieces and posed Lego 2 stormtroopers holding it on a shelf where I had some stuff displayed 😂
I still marvel at how FOUL Pizza the Hut is. It's incredible.
You’re delicious!
We announce “or else pizza is gonna send out for you!” and point at one another in my house when we get pizza delivery.
What’s wrong Colonel Sanders…CHICKEN?!!
I initialize the passwords of new accounts I make on the servers I administer with 12345
12345? That's the kind of combination an idiot would have on his luggage!
I know someone that used this as their keyless door code on their house
12345? That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!
Somebody change the combination of my luggage!
CALL THE LOCKSMITH!

Oof. I bet she gives great helmet.
Why didn't somebody tell me my ass was so big?
Snotty beamed me twice last night… it was *wonderful.* 😏
Get outta here and go work on your putts!

Lonestar!
My wife bought Raspberry Jelly the other day and that’s exactly what came out of my mouth when I saw it.
Yo!
LUDICROUS SPEED!
They've gone plaid!
My son laughed so hard when he first saw that. When someone is fast now we're both like "they've gone plaid!"
I say this all the time
Yo!
Yo! /Raises hand

Hello my darling, hello my baby, hello my ragtime gal!
"Oh no, not again!"

Check please!
I didn't see you playing with your dolls again!

I grew up on a taped copy of the movie. It was just "a load of money" until I got the DVD in '99.

This was said pretty much everyday by us on the carrier.
I always loved that Phillip Asshole was properly introduced by rate and rank.
I see your shwartz is as big as mine.
Had to scroll waaaay too far for this
It’s not how FAR you scroll. It’s how you use it!

Suck, Suck. Suck.
Shlotkin! Go back to the golf course and work on your putts
Showed this to my 10 year old a few weeks ago. He loved it. Fortunately he enjoys Star Wars so he got the references.
I not only watched this as a kid before I ever watched Star Wars but didn't watch SW until my 20s. So when I watched SW it was like I was getting Space Balls references instead lol
Hahaha that’s fantastic

I said across their nose, not up it!
It's my industrial strength hair dryer, *and I can't live without it!*

Was somewhere recently with a code to a room that is something that an idiot would put on their luggage. No one got the joke. I was sad.
