- M ProwMarch 25, 2025Mel Brooks is a genius. You have to try to make a movie parody that good.
- Recordedsnake4d agoSpaceballs is a brilliantly silly sci-fi parody that thrives on its absurd humour and nonstop jokes. Mel Brooks expertly pokes fun at Star Wars and pop culture with unforgettable characters, clever satire, and endlessly quotable lines. Decades later, it still stands as a cult classic that proves comedy can be both smart and ridiculously fun.
- NonPlayableContentDecember 14, 2025The best Star Wars IP bar none.
- Mark AspinDecember 6, 2025A Good Spoof movie.
- Fry FoxxoNovember 28, 2025You cannot watch this movie sober. 10/10 very mel brooks.
- DTSaitoNovember 22, 2025To me this is the kind of gloriously cheesy movie you throw on when you want your brain to take the night off. It’s dumb on purpose, like aggressively lame and that’s exactly where it gets its charm. Half the jokes are groaners, the other half are so ridiculous you can’t help but laugh anyway. The plot barely matters and the characters are cartoonish, and the whole thing feels like a giant cosplay sketch that somehow became a movie. But honestly? That’s the fun of it. It’s goofy, cheap-looking, and totally aware of its own nonsense and that’s why I still love it.
- EinieNovember 12, 2025Absolutely love it 😁
- RyanJune 14, 2025Can't wait for SpaceBalls 2 in 2027
- SkittlesxApril 5, 2025Mel Brooks is a comedy genius, and Spaceballs is hands-down one of his funniest, most quotable movies! The way he parodies Star Wars (and pretty much all of sci-fi) is just brilliant—from Yogurt to Dark Helmet, every character is ridiculous in the best way possible. 😂 This one has always been a personal fave—probably one of the better Brooks films in my opinion. The jokes still hit after all these years, and the timing? Chef’s kiss. If you’re into clever spoofs and want something that doesn’t take itself seriously at all, Spaceballs is a must-watch. Absolute classic! “Ludicrous speed… GO!
- RichardOctober 21, 2025I still remember the moment the lights dimmed and that ridiculous spaceship crawled across the screen for what felt like an eternity. I was barely settled into my seat, popcorn in hand and already laughing. Spaceballs didn’t just spoof Star Wars, it hijacked my expectations, duct taped them to a giant can of Perrier and launched them into ludicrous speed. Mel Brooks knew exactly what he was doing. The gags were unapologetically dumb, the sets gloriously plastic and the jokes, oh, the jokes landed like a whoopee cushion at a royal banquet. Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet? Comedy gold. Bill Pullman’s Lone Starr had just the right amount of clueless charm and John Candy’s Barf was the furry sidekick I didn’t know I needed. But what really stuck with me wasn’t just the parody, it was the joy. The cinema echoed with laughter, the kind that bubbles up from your chest and refuses to be polite. It felt like being part of a secret club where everyone knew the punchline before it hit and still laughed anyway. And then there was Yogurt. “May the Schwartz be with you.” I didn’t just laugh, I quoted it for weeks. Months. Possibly years. That moment cemented Spaceballs as more than a movie, it became a shared language among friends, a reference point for every sci-fi spoof that followed. Watching it on the big screen gave every cheesy effect and rubbery prop a kind of grandeur. It was like seeing a school play with a Hollywood budget and loving every second of it. A gloriously goofy, endlessly quotable romp that made me fall in love with parody cinema. Seeing it in theaters was like being invited to the silliest party in the galaxy and I never wanted it to end.

- ርልዪረJuly 6, 2025This is a weird movie, but likeable. I guess I'm a nerd. Lol Anyway, great cast and I get a kick out of the different spoofs of different movies and shows of that time. Mel Brooks sure knows how to make a satire movie! I laughed so much and it kept me interested with the adventure to it. Seems that Mel Brooks also has a thing with his movies being a movie within a movie, if that makes any sense. For example with Blazing Saddles the whole time you think this is the actual setting of a western town and the town folks, but by the end of it you realize that it was a movie about a Western and that those characters were just the actors. I also loved the music of the Spaceballs ship sounding like Jaws. I also liked the soundtrack to the film as well.
- Andrew HislopAugust 3, 2025Crazy movie and finally they are doing a sequel. All with George Lucas's blessing.
