He said "Oh no not again" Because that same actor (John Hurt) was also in the movie "Alien" So this was the SECOND time that he has had an alien come out of his belly 😂
@RuntotheMovies. Ladies, I might have mentioned or requested this before, but what are the chances of you ever reacting to 'the mating habits of the earthbound human?' Despite the name it is not an adult movie, is actually a brilliant comedy on dating from a different perspective. Unfortunately this is the only trailer I can still find that makes sense. th-cam.com/video/q3s9OFuEvhI/w-d-xo.html
Tips his hat just like an English chappie to a lady with a wealthy pappy. Very snappy! You'll declare it's simply topping to be there and hear them swapping smart tidbits! Puttin' on the ritz!
Fun Trivia: the scene where Dark Helmet is playing with his dolls was completely unscripted....the scene and dialogue were all improvised by Rick Moranis himself 😂😂😂
One of my favorite quick jokes is when they are 'combing' the desert and Col. Sanders asked if they are being too literal. Dark Helmet uses his megaphone to respond standing right next to him but puts it away and just yells to the guys way down below doing the combing.
What I still find funny is Tim Russ is the Spaceball that says "we ain't found sh!t" and people STILL recognize him to this day for that line.... he played Tuvok in Star Trek Voyager for seven years, he even finds it amusing.
@Aurochhunter A page of screenplay equals one minute of screentime for a movie and 30 seconds for a sitcom, so 5 minutes is five screenplay pages, it isn't that complicated and is almost an exact science, yu dumbass.
40:39 Fun Fact for you ladies: The actor who did the scene parodying the "Chest Burster" scene in "Alien" was John Hurt, the actor whose character was the victim of the chest Burster in "Alien", thus, the reason why he'd spoke the line, "Oh, No, Not Again"
"Putting on the Ritz" for the win. You two would be wonderful to watch to some more Mel Brooks. "History of the World Part One" will crack you up! Thank you for giving me some laughs today!
Great Reaction....... "Putting on the Ritz," "People Fall in Love Everyday" George Lucas and Mel Brooks are Great Firends..... When Mel Told George about his movie idea, George gave Mel full access to ILM for the special Effects, The only Condiditions were "No Merchandise (No Copetition for Star Wars) and the lead could not look like Han Solo (So Mel Drssed him as Indiana Jones)..... Dot Matrix was an early type of printer for home computers, She is voiced by comedian Joan Rivers..... Vespa is a classic european Scooter, Prince Valium, Valium is a drug that makes ya sleepy, he is styled after the old Comic Strip "Prince Valiant" set in medevil times.... The Radar Guy is Michael Winslow who is best known as Larvell Jones from the Police Academy Movies.... and Yes, He makes all those sounds...... "Let's take a 5 minute break, Smoke 'em if ya got em"....... The spaceballs do not appear on screen for 5 minutes........ Mel Brooks like to play multiple roles in his movies... Dark Helmet playing with the dolls was totally unscripted.... They just gave Rick the dolls and let him Improv/FreeStyle........ "May the Swartz be with you" was the slogan of Mel Brooks' Lawyer who was named Schwartz...... John Hurt actually reprized his role for the Aien diner scene....
My favorite Mel Brooks films (excluding Spaceballs) include (in release order): Blazing Saddles (1974) Young Frankenstein (1974) ("Puttin' on the Ritz") - Makes references to Frankenstein (1931), Bride of Frankenstein (1935), and Son of Frankenstein (1942) and Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993) - Makes references to Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)
Toy & Tori Dark Helmet is played Rick Moranis. Rick Moranis has a long career in entertainment. Then 1997, Rick took a hiatus from acting to raising his children after his wife died in 1991. In 1997, Rick became full time father. Then Rick is slowly returning to acting with a few selected roles. Rick reprised his Dark Helmet to voice the villain on the sitcom, The Goldbergs in 2018. Besides Spaceballs, Rick starred in Honey, I shrunk the kids and its sequel, Honey, I blew up the kid. In 2020, Rick signed on for 3rd sequel in Shrink (Blew Up) series for "Shrunk"
One of my all time favourite movies! Rick Moranis ended up costing Mel Brooks "a lot" of money, since the crew (including Brooks) couldn't help but laugh during his scenes, most notably when he first appears on screen and has breathing problems. George Lucas lended the services of his company ILM to shoot some scenes. The escape pod dropping out was actually a (once) deleted scene from A New Hope. He agreed to let Brooks make the movie on the condition that he couldn't make merchandise, hence the running gag throughout the movie. And he didn't want Lone Star to dress like Han, so Brooks chose to dress him like Indiana Jones. Rick Moranis improvised the entire scene where he plays with his dolls, he was sick and had a fever that day and still came up with one of the best scenes. The original title was Planet Moron. Brooks had a bad reaction to the Yogurt make up and got a bad rash around his eyes. The voice Dark Helmet has when his... dark helmet visor is down is inspired by David Prowse, the physical actor for Darth Vader in the original trilogy, and how he sounded with the mask on set. You can find footage of it.
No Star Wars movie was released in the theater as A New Hope. The original Star Wars movie was released as just Star Wars, and four years later, when it was re-released, it had A New Hope added to it.
@@MATTHEW-rp3kq Is what I said not true? Even my 24-year-old son calls the first Star Wars movie Star Wars. It would be like going back and changing the name of the movie Exorcist because sequels and then prequels came out.
Spaceballs!! FINALLY!!!!!! "I see your schwartz is as big as mine!" "He said comb the desert so I'm combing the desert" This movie has soo many great quotes. 😂
The guy who made the radar sound effects, he was also in Police Academy, another funny movie. The President and Yogurt is Mel Brooks. Think about their names. Prince Valium, who is always yawning. Princess Vespa, look up Vespa.
16:54 that's all of Mel Brooks films. Then after those he would go on to create Life Stinks, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and Dracula Dead and Loving It. Oh yeah, "Putting on the Ritz"
One of the DVD version of the movie has the whole thing in fast-forward, dubbed "Watch in Ludicrous Speed". The Merchandising stuff is a running that Mel Brooks put in, because George Lucas OKed the movie and let them use ILM for the effects, on the condition that no merchandise be made from Spaceballs. Thus, almost everything in the movie is "Spaceballs the placemant", "Spaceballs the toilet paper", etc. I would definitely recommend Robinhood Men in Tights.
Spaceballs, Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles are my three favorite Mel Brooks films. If I had to pick a favorite I would say Young Frankenstein is my favorite.
Oh, this one's perfect. You guys knocked it out of the park with the reaction and between Tori's dirty little mind and Toy's quick reactions to the callbacks, it was just perfect. An excellent job. Also, the entire Mel Brooks filmography is worth checking out, and before I forget.. Putting on the Ritz
I am 39 years old, my brother is 36. We have full time jobs and families and live n different states but since we where teenagers we have watched this movie together once a year usually sometime around thanksgiving or Christmas.
You guys are probably too young to remember this, but in 1987, when I was 9 years old, ABC had a TV show called "Max Hedroom", which was an adaption of a British TV show, with a "computerized news anchor". He would always glitch and repeat things and stutter....in the Pizza the Hut scene, the robotic assistant and the guy who directs the call to that was a reference to Max Hedroom. 🙂 Lots of good things happened in 1987....the release of the IBM PS/2 line, IBM's first PC to use the new 80386, the first PC programs that made use of CD-ROM, such as Microsoft Bookshelf (it was text only!) and encyclopedias on the Mac that had graphics, and also the liquid nitrogen superconductor (way warmer than liquid helium ones), three Friday the 13ths.....and, my personal favorite event of 1987, "Star Trek: The Next Generation" was released! 🙂
Mel Brooks created some of the funniest, irreverent, ironic movies ever made: Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, The Producers, Men in Tights, History of the World, High Anxiety, To Be or Not To Be----all brilliant.
OMG hearing someone else mention "Splash"..... I legit didn't think anyone else remembered that movie. I loved that movie, so much so the moment I saw it was on one of the streaming sites I had, I just had to rewatch it.
Toy and Tori missed some of the references:The Millennium Falcon is parked at the space diner and The Planet of the Apes scene at the end,Rhonda Shear was the waitress at the diner and Tim Russ(Tuvok)was the guy combing the desert.
This is the first time watching your channel and i subscribed almost directly. I love your reactions. Especially Toris chocked expression at some of the jokes.
It’s been mentioned that Spaceballs 2 is in the works, and on of the ending scenes in History of The World Part I (Jews in Space) will be expanded on. Also Mel Brooks played both the Governor Scroob and Yogurt. He actually could not sell merchandise because of contractual agreements with Lucas Films and Star Wars. Mel Brooks has made many movies and alsoo was a writer for the original Get Smart series. For his other movies I recommend in order: Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Men in Tights, History of the World Part I.
We now live in a world where dot matrix printers barely exist. A number of airlines will still use them for passenger manifests but I'm sure there's very few use cases left. I love when Barf is loaded up with suitcases and he drops them all except the one in his teeth to talk to Lone Starr. So good.
Fun Facts: Although there are many jokes about merchandise, Spaceballs didn't actually have any. Apparently George Lucas asked Mel not to make any, which led to the merchandise jokes/gags within the film. George also asked Mel not to have a character dressed like Han Solo, so Lone Starr is dressed like Indiana Jones instead. Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), which was owned by Lucas, did the special effects for the film. The Millennium Falcon (or a ship that looks just like it) is parked outside the space diner.
Ladies, assuming no one else has mentioned it, the scene of Helmet playing with his dolls was totally improvised by Rick Moranis after Mel suggested he do that for the scene.
22:23 This is a gag. When Mel Brooks wrote Spaceballs he knew he would be sailing pretty close to infringing on Star Wars copyright. So he rang George Lucas and asked him if it was ok. They came to an agreement, part of which is Spaceballs couldnt produce any merchandise from the film
In Greek mythology there’s someone who eats themselves to death (Erysichthon of Thessaly - I just checked). I think he chopped down a special tree, the rightful owner cursed him with an insatiable appetite and he eventually ran out of things to eat (I didn’t check that but I think it’s right(ish)).
40:35 I'm sure you're aware by now, but just in case: This was a homage to ALIEN (which you've seen already) and this is even the original actor from Alien, so it makes sense he says "not again". ;))
Toy & Tori are the only reactors that I know of to realize the similarities between the Yoghurt's Temple scene with The Wizard of Oz movie: Princess Vespa is Dorothy, Lone Star is The Scarecrow, Dot Matrix is The Tinman, Barf is The Cowardly Lion, and Yoghurt is The Wizard. Good job, Girls 👍
20:02 when me and my dad were about to pull up to meijers. We were stopped by a line of geeses passing us by, and I just sang the dink song while they were passing. 😄
My favorite part of this movie is that the actual original model of the millennium falcon is parked in the parking lot of the gas station-diner so Han and chewy were eating in the same diner with lonestar and barf and the aliens crew
Prince Valium was named after a sedative commonly prescribed to anxious housewives in the 70s - hence the yawning. Pizza the Hut was named after the restaurant... President Skroob is Mel Brooks' name backwards. Lots of little in-jokes.
Some more Mel Brooks movies Blazing Saddles 1974, Young Frankenstein 1974, History of the World: Part I 1981, Robin Hood: Men in Tights 1993, Dracula: Dead and Loving It 1995.
Putting on the Ritz! Actually, while ANY Mel Brooks movie is worth watching some of my favorites are History of the World Part One, Young Frankenstein, and Blazing Saddles. Any of those are amazing!
If you want to continue with the world of Mel Brooks, be sure to watch Blazing Saddles before Robin Hood Men in Tights. I will say there is a Hangman in both movies that is played by the same actor.
Valium is a trade name for diazepam which increases a calming chemical in your brain and often makes you feel sleepy, that's why the Prince is yawning. His name is also a play on 'Prince Valiant'.
Mel Brooks actually wanted the opening spaceship shot to last over twenty minutes or even longer until he probably realized he was the only person to find that idea funny (to be fair I would also find that joke hilarious). If you listen to the music, it actually stops and restarts at different points because even the orchestra doesn't know how long the ship is...
Hello Toy & Tori!😊 Nice to see the very lovely Tori again!🌹She should definitely check out a young Daryl Hannah in the comedy "Splash" (1984).😉 Tori was also right about Tony Cox (Bad Santa) being one of the Dinks. One of the Spaceballs with the hair pick in the desert is Tim Russ who would play the Vulcan Tuvok in future on TV's "Star Trek: Voyager". This is funny as there are references to Star Trek with the beaming and Vulcan nerve pinch.😉 The sexy nurse is Brenda Strong who would be known from the TV series "Desperate Housewives" as a character and voiceover for the series. The Twin ladies are from the TV commercial Double Mint Gum as twins. Felix Silla is one of the Dinks. He was in the TV series "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" as the ambuquad TWIKI, a walking metal robot. Great reactions to this classic comedy, Toy & Tori!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What's your favorite line from the movie?
If anyone didn't mention it has just been confirmed that they have a Spaceballs 2 in the works.
Putting on the Ritz!
He said "Oh no not again"
Because that same actor (John Hurt) was also in the movie "Alien"
So this was the SECOND time that he has had an alien come out of his belly 😂

Fun Trivia: the scene where Dark Helmet is playing with his dolls was completely unscripted....the scene and dialogue were all improvised by Rick Moranis himself 😂😂😂
Years later, Alan Tudyk would do this: th-cam.com/video/e35BU1eB_5k/w-d-xo.html
That was the very same actor from Alien. Hence the reason he said “Oh no! Not again.”
Yes, it was John Hurt, the same actor from Alien movie, in which the alien burst out from his stomach in similar situation.
One of my favorite quick jokes is when they are 'combing' the desert and Col. Sanders asked if they are being too literal. Dark Helmet uses his megaphone to respond standing right next to him but puts it away and just yells to the guys way down below doing the combing.
What I still find funny is Tim Russ is the Spaceball that says "we ain't found sh!t" and people STILL recognize him to this day for that line.... he played Tuvok in Star Trek Voyager for seven years, he even finds it amusing.
I can't remember which made me laugh harder, either when Spaceball-1 went to plaid, or when they captured the stunt doubles.
I THINK Mel Brooks directed "Dracula: Dead And Loving It!", but could be mistaken.
I love that Jen Murray watched this movie, then proceeded to refer to attacks to the family jewels in any sci Fi context as "right in the Spaceballs".
Fun fact, when Rick Moranis says "Why don't we take a 5 minute break?" it is exactly 5 minutes more into the movie until we see the Space Balls
Imagine the writing and editing that must have gone into getting exaclty 5 minutes of material to go between the 2 scenes
@@Aurochhunter I know right, but Mel is a genius,

I never knew about Alien when I first saw this, so I thought he got the special before and this happened last time too.
@MATTHEW-rp3kq yeah, that's a reference to Michigan J. Frog from Looney Toons

This movie was my childhood. Can quote it all day long!

Mel plays multiple roles: Yogurt and President Skroob of Spaceball City.
I just hope they can bring him back for the Spaceballs sequel
Moranis did a lot of voice acting roles in the interim. He just stopped taking live acting roles.
I've got to say these second watches with Toy are even better than the firsts, her excitement for Tori's reactions are palpable :)
One of my all time favourite movies!
Rick Moranis ended up costing Mel Brooks "a lot" of money, since the crew (including Brooks) couldn't help but laugh during his scenes, most notably when he first appears on screen and has breathing problems.
George Lucas lended the services of his company ILM to shoot some scenes. The escape pod dropping out was actually a (once) deleted scene from A New Hope. He agreed to let Brooks make the movie on the condition that he couldn't make merchandise, hence the running gag throughout the movie. And he didn't want Lone Star to dress like Han, so Brooks chose to dress him like Indiana Jones.

Robin Hood: Men in Tights is still my favorite comedy of all time! I could quote a vast majority of it while watching it. It is hilarious!!!!
So Tori went all dirty at the mention of Spaceballs. Shocker 🤣
I think my favorite film with John Candy is "the great outdoors" pure 80s goodness.
4:20 vader crushes necks, helmet crushes nuts😅

The guy who made the radar sound effects, he was also in Police Academy, another funny movie. The President and Yogurt is Mel Brooks. Think about their names. Prince Valium, who is always yawning. Princess Vespa, look up Vespa.
16:54 that's all of Mel Brooks films. Then after those he would go on to create Life Stinks, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and Dracula Dead and Loving It. Oh yeah, "Putting on the Ritz"
+1 for Police Academy. "Putting on the Ritz" also.

Yes, the director (Mel Brooks) plays both the President and Yogurt. Brooks is notorious for having cameos in his own films.

History of the World part 2 reference that as well.
Best other Mel Brooks movies to react: Blazing Saddles , and Robin Hood Men In Tights

1. Blazing Saddles
2. Young Frankenstein
3. Robin Hood: men in tights
We now live in a world where dot matrix printers barely exist. A number of airlines will still use them for passenger manifests but I'm sure there's very few use cases left.

Young Frankenstein!
40:35 I'm sure you're aware by now, but just in case: This was a homage to ALIEN (which you've seen already) and this is even the original actor from Alien, so it makes sense he says "not again". ;))
Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Dracula: Dead and Loving It.
Another Mel Brooks movie to react to is Robin Hood: Men in Tights if you guys haven't seen it yet.
Toy & Tori are the only reactors that I know of to realize the similarities between the Yoghurt's Temple scene with The Wizard of Oz movie: Princess Vespa is Dorothy, Lone Star is The Scarecrow, Dot Matrix is The Tinman, Barf is The Cowardly Lion, and Yoghurt is The Wizard. Good job, Girls 👍
Putting on the ritz.
20:02 when me and my dad were about to pull up to meijers. We were stopped by a line of geeses passing us by, and I just sang the dink song while they were passing. 😄
I found out the other day the actor that said ""we ain't found S...." is actually Tuvok from Star Trek. Obviously before he was Tuvok.
Blazing saddles is a must for any buddy new Mel Brooks comedy
I just wanted the whole 90 minutes to be the ship - Mel Brooks
Putting on the Ritz!!!!
Hey, another awesome Mel Brooks movie is Dracula Dead and lovin It, awesome request
My favorite part of this movie is that the actual original model of the millennium falcon is parked in the parking lot of the gas station-diner so Han and chewy were eating in the same diner with lonestar and barf and the aliens crew
The prince is tired because his name is Valium. 💊
Valium is a tranquilizer, which is why the Prince was falling asleep.
Prince Valium was named after a sedative commonly prescribed to anxious housewives in the 70s - hence the yawning.
Pizza the Hut was named after the restaurant...
President Skroob is Mel Brooks' name backwards.
Lots of little in-jokes.
The guy at the end of the comb scene ("we ain't found SH..!") is Tim Russ. Tuvok from Star Trek Voyager.
Tori this was your best yet!!!!!
Some more Mel Brooks movies Blazing Saddles 1974, Young Frankenstein 1974, History of the World: Part I 1981, Robin Hood: Men in Tights 1993, Dracula: Dead and Loving It 1995.
40:48 The Animal: "Well, I guess I will go then."
Putting on the Ritz! Actually, while ANY Mel Brooks movie is worth watching some of my favorites are History of the World Part One, Young Frankenstein, and Blazing Saddles. Any of those are amazing!
Robin Hood, Men in Tights by Mel Brooks is probably my favorite of his comedy/parody movies that he's done.
My favorite Mel Brooks movie is Robin Hood Men in Tights. But you first need to see Kevin Costner in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves to fully enjoy it.
Producer's note: thanks for the recommendation! We have a reaction to it. It was a ton of fun.
If you want to continue with the world of Mel Brooks, be sure to watch Blazing Saddles before Robin Hood Men in Tights. I will say there is a Hangman in both movies that is played by the same actor.
Valium is a trade name for diazepam which increases a calming chemical in your brain and often makes you feel sleepy, that's why the Prince is yawning. His name is also a play on 'Prince Valiant'.
You both would probably get a great laugh from watching the movie Innerspace-1987. Martin Short is funny with his physical comedy.
Mel Brooks actually wanted the opening spaceship shot to last over twenty minutes or even longer until he probably realized he was the only person to find that idea funny (to be fair I would also find that joke hilarious). If you listen to the music, it actually stops and restarts at different points because even the orchestra doesn't know how long the ship is...
Apparently, back when this was filmed you were allowed one use of the f-bomb and still get a PG13 rating, so Mel Brooks put in his one allowed f-bomb.
Hello Toy & Tori!😊 Nice to see the very lovely Tori again!🌹She should definitely check out a young Daryl Hannah in the comedy "Splash" (1984).😉 Tori was also right about Tony Cox (Bad Santa) being one of the Dinks. One of the Spaceballs with the hair pick in the desert is Tim Russ who would play the Vulcan Tuvok in future on TV's "Star Trek: Voyager". This is funny as there are references to Star Trek with the beaming and Vulcan nerve pinch.😉 The sexy nurse is Brenda Strong who would be known from the TV series "Desperate Housewives" as a character and voiceover for the series. The Twin ladies are from the TV commercial Double Mint Gum as twins. Felix Silla is one of the Dinks. He was in the TV series "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" as the ambuquad TWIKI, a walking metal robot. Great reactions to this classic comedy, Toy & Tori!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
