Coby loses it watching SPACEBALLS (1987) Movie Reaction FIRST TIME WATCHING

Anyone who loves Spaceballs is friend-material in my book.

Mel Brooks asked permission from George Lucas before filming. Lucas's only condition was 'no merchandizing' which in turn 'merchandizing' became a running joke throughout the movie.

"You idiots! You've captured their stunt doubles!" My favorite joke of the movie. Stephen Tobolowsky's pompous delivery of his gloating and the gasp of shock are just perfect.

36:44 "Preparing ship for metamorphosis" "Ready, Kafka?" Definitely not a joke that I got until I was older.

She absolutely needs to see Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.

The big Yogurt statue and the "What a world, what a world!" near the end are both Wizard of Oz references.

Missed opportunity... Vespa: that asshole shot my hair! Spaceball: how'd she know my name?

The fact you actually know most of these actors is impressive...most impressive! Also the look you had when you realized it was gonna be Planet of the Apes....too awesome!

One minor gag at the beginning (the title scroll) was "Chapter Eleven," a reference to bankruptcy law. The Spaceballs had squandered their air, and were "bankrupt" of atmosphere.

The Millennium Falcon was in the parking lot of the diner!

"We ain't found shit!" guy.....if you get there...is Tovok from Star Trek Voyager.

Coby, the voice for Pizza the Hutt was Dom DeLuise and yes, Dot's voice is Joan Rivers. The actor in the suit for Dot is the mime Lorene Yarnell from Shields and Yarnell. One of George Lucas' stipulations for permission to parody his franchise was that the Han Solo character couldn't be costumed like he is in Star Wars hence the idea to make him look instead like Indiana Jones. And if you didn't ever figure it out, Mel Brooks played 2 roles in this film...he is President Skroob and Yogurt. Also, Michael Winslow from Police Academy is the radar officer that got jammed doing all those crazy sound effects he is known for. Lucas loved the script so much that he offered the services of ILM to do the visual effects which is why they are top notch for 1987. Some of the escape pod footage is actually unused film from A New Hope. After our heroes get rescued by the "jawas' thru walking up to the scary stage of Yogurt is a veiled reference to the Wizard of Oz. I'm sure you can get which Spaceballs character translates to which character in Oz. One other thing: the doll playing scene was a last minute suggestion by Mel to Rick that he totally improvised on the spot.

The 'Dolls' scene was completely improvised by Rick Moranis. Comic gold!

The nurse, who looked so familiar, was Brenda Strong. She has been in many shows and movies over the years, but many remember her as Sue Ellen Mischke from a few episodes of Seinfeld. She was Elaine's friend, the 'Oh Henry!' candy bar heiress, who Elaine disliked because she would never wear a bra...or when she did, she wore it as a shirt with just a blazer over it.

I love that Coby knows about The Storyteller. That show was awesome.

I just realized that the guy playing Lone Starr also plays the President in the Independence Day films, and his callsign when flying in the final battle was "Eagle 1".

Remember...evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

The radar tech was the dude that did all the noises in police academy

Great reaction Coby like always i love Mel brooks movies. A fun fact...when Rick Moranis says 'why don't we take a five minute break', it's exactly 5 minutes in the film before we see the spaceballs again. In case you didn't realize, or know, the late Sir John Hurt was the guy who had the alien come out of him. He was the original actor from Alien as well. Some great little bit's a pieces about this film which makes it funnier when you know. By the way, the guy making the sounds is the legendary Michael Winslow. You can see more of him in Police Academy. Mel Brooks had to get permission from George Lucas who only agreed on the grounds that they sold no merchandise and that Lone Starr couldn't dress as Han Solo. So brooks filled the movie with fake merch and dressed Lone Starr like Indiana Jones instead. There's polystyrene cups everywhere cause cast and crew kept leaving them all over the set, so Brooks just wrote them into the film. And one of my favorite joke of the movie is the stunt double one. There are a lot of 4th wall breaking jokes in the movie (the spaceball cassette, the cameraman getting slashed by Darth Helmet, Yoghurt doing merchandising stuff because "it's where real money from the movie is made" but the stunt double one really made me lose it completely as it was completely unexpected. It was so well done! Keep up the good work. I suggest reaction to more Mel Brooks movies all of the are hilarious.

I love that Bill Pullman is dressed like Indiana Jones instead of Han Solo.
