John Hurt shows up just to cameo in a space gag and goes full Hurt. That's a real legend.
1 of the greatests RIP
Is that the guy from 1984?
He got 500K I heard for this.
@@gregorykunz9017 And worth every cent - one of my favourite scenes of all time!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exactly, THIS DESERVES A BUNCH OF LIKES
Love how he says oh no not again, like he somehow survived it the first time! 🤣
The fact that John Hurt did both scenes makes this funny on both a face-value and meta level!
@@seanryan3020 right?! He was a fantastic actor!
That's very clearly supposed to be the crew of the Nostromo, so he apparently did in this universe.
There's something about the way he says it that makes it seem like the alien is just a minor inconvenience, compared to the horror of the origianl movie.
It is nice touch.
Saw this is the theater when released. The audience uproar when the little guy puts the hat on, is something I'll never forget.
87 was a awesome year for music and movies
Forget that thumbs-down- I hit it by mistake.
The scene I remember in the theater was when Colonel Sandurz turned off the movie screen instead of the projector screen, and the theater got completely dark. I was wondering what was going on until the movie came back on!
My dad loves this part so much, that once when I was a kid, he recorded the song to use it as our answering message lol
i like when the alien growls then puts on the little hat haha
I love how the Spaceballs are trying to steal air from Druidia but all through the movie nobody needs a spacesuit and can freely breath in space 🤣
Maybe the diner’s parking platform has its own shield of energy around it?
Fresh air. What did the astronauts say space smells like? Mustard?
@@maintaint3003 burnt steak
Because there is a (pun not intended) galaxy of difference between say, dock's air that smells of rotten fish and mountain pure air. The Spaceballs wants the high quality air.
Spaceball used to have a surplus of air until they pumped it all into space. Pumping it back would be President Skroob admitting he made a mistake.
RIP John Hurt, and John Candy! Both great actors, and legends in their respective fields.
Don't forget Eddie Van Halen.
2 Johns RIP
Don’t forget Mel Blanc (voice of the chestburster)
😢
I hadn't seen "Alien" when I first saw this movie. When I finally saw it, "Oh, no, not again..." suddenly become downright hilarious!
My favorite scene for this exact reason. :3
It's so funny especially not seeing alien because he just does this on a regular basis
Me too 😂😂😂
That makes four in this chain.
Me: Also The Spoof Parody Of Classic Warner Bros Cartoons Looney Tunes
I miss John Candy. He was a great actor and comedic genius. And a kind man.
Yeah, RIP John
I wish I could've met him.
I'll always remember him as Uncle Buck.
@@AndrewChapman I always wanted one of those snow shovel pancakes when I saw that as a kid. also the entire rack of pans falling while he's trying to be quiet. god, can I relate to that.
I will never forget how my best friend called me in floods of tears to tell me the sad news that Uncle Buck had died. We seriously mourned him.
This scene is pure genius. No one can do a spoof like Mel Brooks.
The fact that Mel gets John Hurt to do it again makes it all the more hilarious.
Well Mel Brooks is well known to threaten people.
He had worked with John twice before: History of the World Part 1 and The Elephant Man.
@@sha11235 man I never would've known Mel Brooks was a producer of The Elephant Man if it weren't for your comment. Kudos to you bro
@@mkprocter882 He didn't take a credit, but you see on there Brooksfilms, his company.
@@mkprocter882 He didn't put his name on it but his company-Brooksfilms.
This is one of those examples of genuinely good reference humor, because IMHO it works even if you don't get it -- like a lot of us did, seeing Spaceballs when we were too young for Alien. Even without getting what he was referencing, I took "Oh God, not again" combined with the waitress' reaction as an implication that this an effed-up universe where this sort of thing just happens, and that was amusing to me.
Making this even funnier was that Kenner actually made a toy line for the 1979 Alien, so I knew ALL about it without having seen it.
I saw this first, but knew about the chestburster scene in Alien beforehand from, ironically enough, Disney Adventure magazine. You know, for kids.
It's a reference joke that only gets better with age. Like a fine wine.
Also as kids even if we hadn't seen Alien we had seen those Looney Tunes cartoons with the frog singing this. That what I thought it was referencing.
Yes I was 9 or 10 when we rented it and this is the only scene I remember and i liked it.. I know my dad got it because he has Alien on tape from HBO
That little alien was the definition of horror at the time, and Mel Brooks made him sing and dance for us.
A lot of money went into doing that one gag justice. Even bringing back the OG John Hurt to sell it.
I hadn't realised at the time that they had hired John Hurt to reprise the role he played in Alien from all those years ago. Not many people actually turn up to parody their own performance like this. But that's a pretty good notch to have in your cap for the late great actor.
@@U2QuoZepplin "That's why the line "NOT AGAIN"". Because he was ini Alien
@FryonelChamberlain We can see that their dressed the same from the movie alien but John hurt is only one in it.
Not to mention the money WB must have asked for that dialogue from 'One Froggy Evening'. Ah, George - it's been 35 years - let Mel make merchandise figures from this film - the dancing alien would sell through in a heartbeat.
Money well spent I say.
I love the little details-the "Spaceballs the Placemat" was as brilliant as anything else in the picture!
"We're putting the picture's name on EVERYTHING!"
Good catch! All these years I had never noticed!
@@robjohnson8522 It's actually a running gag since spaceballs wasn't allowed to sell merch, in return they got their VFX done by the same guys that did star wars.
“Merchandising!”
@@robjohnson8522 George Lucas basically said, you guys can do whatever you want but don't do any actual merchandise or there'll be legal trouble. And Mel turned that into one of the biggest gags in the film.
That was a running gag in the film, after Yogurt showed the merchandising. There was even more as the film went on and on.
The pepto bismol guy gets me every time...lol
. . . he said 'Harry, how can you tell?' Something about his character inflections tickles the ear.
Get him some milk!
Wild it's the only thing he was ever in.
Next film had Pepto Bismol in it too.
How did I not see that the falcon was parked at the diner after all these years?!?
That's very peculiar, but it looks like there's a ghostbusters ecto 1 with wings on it down and to the right a bit from the millennium falcon
i wasnt aware til you pointed it out lol
There's also a flying saucer and the space shuttle in there.
I think the fighter jet sort of thing behind the flying saucer is from something too. In front of the flying saucer is a cruise missile.
Lulz I had to double check
Seen this a million times, never noticed it🤣
"Oh no. Not again!" HAHAHAHA Love this movie and this is a great scene. So hilarious that they got John Hurt to come in and re-enact the scene
Wasent he Also one of the Doctors "DR Who"?
@@miles2378 yep the way doctor in the 50th anniversary special
And he’s credited as “John Hurt”, like this happens to him all the time.
How many times has this happened for the diner to install a door for the Alien to go through?
id go again ?
To many times, that's for sure.
The door is an order hatch. The kitchen sends food through the hatch.
@@scorchx3000 I came to say this.
@@scorchx3000 it still is a hatch complete with a spotlight operator 🤣
01:42
"Bring him some water!"
"Water my a**! Bring this guy some Pepto Bismol!"
That always cracks me up hard! XD
I have not seen this movie in years but never understood what he said until watching it now and it made me laugh like crazy
Best line in the scene bar none.
"UUUUGH!"
@@Action_Figure_King Oh no...not again!
"Check please!"
That line inspired my high-school buddy Ike and me to stand up and say that at the end of classes.
Nice, but it would have been funnier if you guys had done it at the start of class because who wants to sit through class?
@@thelonesomefisherman7425 Huh! Hadn't thought of that!
@seanryan3020 Yeah, I also have had those moments when I think of the funniest thing to say... about 2 hours after the time has passed, to say it. Still, you guys doing it class is a great joke.
@@thelonesomefisherman7425 And to be fair, we were 18 at the time, so we couldn't bat .400 right out of the gate.
@@seanryan3020 I think you guys had some balls to do the joke at all. I'm sure at that age I wouldn't have done it.
This scene scared the heck out of me when I was younger. It's left me spooked for years. I am happy to finally overcome and laugh at it now.
I bet you still don't order the daily special, though. ;)
@@ComeauSoftwareSolutions Never 🙅♀️
I saw the original Alien when I was 8. For me, this scene was actually a therapeutic experience when I saw Spaceballs a couple of years later.
That was when I was a child, of course. Nowadays I very rarely find things or people who dare to challenge my Schwartch or the size of my helmet.
Me too.. Talking dogs are worse than clowns..
You may laugh now….but the daily special is still on some grill, just waiting, 😱😱
If they ever make a sequel this guy needs to appear. But now he's an adult and he's singing "Everybody Do the Michigan Rag"
Just realized that was John Hurt. Absolutely hilarious!
He did say "not again"... :D
Actually they had the whole crew there, even a ripley lookalike.
Mel Brooks did work with previously with John Hurt, Brooks produced The Elephant Man which starred Hurt as John Merrick.
Glad they had some fun in this movie.
This scene is what made me want to watch Alien. 13 year old me ran to my mom practically begging her to let me get the DVD in the local game stop. (I mistakenly thought that if I can handle this spoof scene then I can handle the original film)
Bought the DVD and spent that night from the opening titles to end credits hidden behind a couch cushion. To this day I regret nothing.
The fact John Hurt came back just to film this short cameo scene is nothing short of perfection.
I remember reading in a booklet that came with my copy of Spaceballs that John Hurt said the fake chest for this film was much more comfortable than the one used in the original Alien.
Just clicked the millennium falcon in the lot.
You think the movie is scary, try playing the game Alien: Isolation.
@@jordanbetteridge1598 I have. It's an Alien fan's wet dream.
What a wimp! In saw Aliens which is way more terrifying in 1987 on VHS I was 9! You were in high school and hid behind a couch cushion?
When they filmed that scene in Alien, almost none of the cast knew what was going to happen, but they suspected something because the crew and cameras were wearing wet weather gear
I laughed hysterically during this scene in the theater. My friends thought it was just weird..they had no idea about Aliens 😕
I remember seeing this at my God-mothers apartment before Alien and I almost died laughing because it's just so random to see an alien just doing that 😅
How Brooks got John Hurt to reprise this movie scene was Genius
Hurt knew Brooks. He played Jesus in "History of the World, Part I".
@@beawild and mel brooks produced "the elephant man" that hurt starred in.
@@thevoid99 I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
@@beawild Yeah John Hurt and Mel Brooks became close friends when filming History of the World: Part I. When Brooks asked Hurt to recreate the chestburster scene in Spaceballs he happily obliged.
Once again, his last supper.
0:04 I’ve seen this movie at least 100 times in my lifetime, and I am just now noticing that the Millennium Falcon is actually parked outside of the diner
Same! lol I just saw the falcon for the first time too
The 76 gas station! I've never seen that before
Anyone notice them walking in from outside?
It's called MANDELA EFFECT
Most likely, you grew up on the pan and scan VHS version that cropped off the right side of the shot.
I love how the cook drops his box so it lands right on the cymbal crash. Nice touch by the film editors.
The funniest bit is the waitress just watching the whole thing unfold like it's just another day at the office.
"The same thing happened last week when another guy tried the Special" -waitress
So either Kane didn't learn his lesson from what happened to him in Alien (1979). Or somehow the Space Special has the same effect as being attacked by a Facehugger.
Either way, I ain't goin' there.
I won’t have that special then.
"Change my order, I'll have the soup!"
Or maybe the special IS a facehugger
@@williambatson2514 Good move 😏
I like how the characters next to Hurt are all dressed like their counterparts from the movie. You have the Yaphet Kotto stand in wearing the headband. The lady not only looks like Sigourney Weaver, but she is wearing the same kind of jacket with the patches on both arms. The guy next to her is dressed like Ian Holm and the guy standing is dressed like Harry Dean Stanton with the Hawaiian shirt and hat.
You're right, but there's no Veronica Cartwright or Tom Skerritt counterpart.
The Great John Hurt! I miss him!
I'm pretty sure you mean John Candy.
@@garganrose No John Hurt, who said "Oh, no, not again", reprising his role from Alien
we all do :D
@@garganrose although I miss John candy too
I love how they are more afraid of it singing and dancing than they are of it growling.
R.I.P John Hurt, we love you man.
R.I.P John Candy
And John Candy.
I did not even know about Alien when I first saw Spaceballs.
I watched Space Balls before I watched half the stuff they referenced in the movie. Star Wars and Alien both. I even thought this was the original “singing frog” until I saw the Warner brothers cartoon version.
@@SteveRogers0768 That's what happened to me too. First the singing alien, then the singing frog. Crazy!
IIRC, I had seen *Aliens* for the first time early in 1987, and then checked out *Alien* just a couple of months later. JUST IN TIME to then go see THIS in the theaters!!
Same.
Actually, I was once in the same pair of shoes back in 1988. However, I not only saw Spaceballs on my own first official terms two years later in 1990, but I also saw Alien for the first ever time as well. Despite that milestone in my life, the Alien movie was on what used to be the ABC Sunday Night Movie recorded on VHS via VCR at my High School alma mater, and I watched it with my other friends. Hence the first ever day I fell in love with the Alien franchise. I am, rest assured, a foremost fan of science fiction.
My dad took me to see this in the movie theater, and cracked up at this scene! Good Times
Was that when the movie first came out?
My dad loves this part so much that he once used the song our answering machine message lol
@@Cacowninja 1987 I think
I remember as a kid thinking there being an entire space sport for a diner with other ships like the Millenium Falcon parked there was so friggen cool. This movie is hilarious
0:04 Love the Millennium Falcon cameo on the right lol
I will always treasure this movie… pretty much all very involving John Candy.
John Candy was an international treasure and taken from us way too early
John Candy had impeccable comic timing and delivery! He was the comedic gem of every movie he was in. If only he took care of himself...
The best part of this scene is not only the obvious reference back to Alien (complete with John Hurt), but also the reference back to the classic Warner Brothers cartoon.
no its not, its a reference to bladerunner
@@Baghuulno it s the
wb cartoon with a singing frog
Me: Looney Tunes One Froggy Evening Reference
And a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference, too.
I nearly freaked out when I heard Van Halen blasting out of the speakers in that scene :) Great flic. I watched it countless times. "CHECK PLEASE!"
The first time I saw this scene, I laughed so hard I cried. It was so random and unexpected I couldn’t handle it. A Mel Brooks classic!
I don’t know how, but I saw the Michigan Frog bit coming. In the moment it popped out, I thought to myself how could they make this as silly as possible and my answer matched Mel Brooks’ answer.
So many perfectly done scenes in this movie, no clue why it doesn't get higher praise. From jamming the signal to combing the desert & watching the movie as there in it- because of bootleg videos. This is the one I enjoyed as a kid without knowing the Alien movies.
Same here. I thought the chest burster was more about setting up the singing frog than anything else!
You can see the mechanism moving the dancing alien. Well done? Come on.
@@OroborusFMA you realize that when people say a scene was well done they mean in composition, not quality of effects, right? This scene was well done. No, the effects are not the best, but that’s not what anyone is talking about when they say a scene or even a movie for that matter was “well done”.
@@OroborusFMA - You're seriously complaining about a parody movie, made in the 80s, has visible mechanics for a clearly plastic Alien chestburster puppet?
When the aliens finally reveal themselves to us I want them to watch this scene to get their reaction
2:00 - Don't worry about him- he'll regenerate into Chris Eccleston in a few minutes...!
0:17 *Spaceballs The Placemat* is my favorite visual gag in the entire film.
"Merchandising! Merchandising!"
There are many gags in this scene but one that escapes most people is that the alien dance is a parody of an old looney tunes cartoon called "One Froggy Evening" where the song comes from
Having the aliens turn out to be a bunch of ragtime performers would be a better origin story than whatever the heck it was Ridley Scott laid out in those prequels
Mel Brooks stole the singing face hugger from a Loony Toons Saturday morning cartoon. It was originally a frog but did the same song.
@@fw1421 Well the joke here is that the alien does the Looney Tunes frog song, that's not stealing.
The song is hello my baby which the frog who sings it is Michigan j frog
If you watch this scene with zero context of Alien, it's still horrifying.
I saw Spaceballs for the first time with a group of friends & I got most of the other references, but I had no prior knowledge of Alien, so when THIS scene happened, I was both confused & terrified.
Little did we know John Hurt in the movie could double as a Doctor Who reference in this sci fi parody.
A Doctor Who parody would been great for Spaceballs and a Small exposure to the series to the American Audiences.
Hilarious scene with such a great reference and John Hurt
And the alien doing a ragtime dance and song
Perfection
Hurt & Candy are working on a movie on the other side - 'Alien Balls'
R.I.P. you two! ✌️
One of the funniest movies of all time. Absolutely timeless. It will NEVER get old.
R.I.P John Hurt
Who's he?
@@christianparrish6647 john hurt is kane from alien (1979).
@@jeremyelcuervo6091 it's been a long time since I've seen alien
@@christianparrish6647 Ive watched Alien so many times, and since its release back in 79` this film never grows old, unlike other films of the time it doent show its age, with low quality back drops and "of the time" lower quality acting. The acting shows the real proper actors doing their job, unlike the more fake actors of today. The film set still shows off as what thigs would probably look like in the future, not this glossy bright over done stages we see today.
@@colmaniac I only saw alien once
"Not again!"
It happened before
Love that Van Halen intro
I love that it was John Hurt and I love he said “oh no not again” if I only waited Space Balls when I was younger I’d probably wouldn’t of have been traumatized for a decade…
It's funny that John Hurt and the people are dressed the same from the 1st alien movie I find it so funny how he say's oh no not again I even saw the 1st alien movie before I saw spaceballs.
I haven't seen this movie in years but this was always my favourite bit. And my brother and sister loved it too. That's the genius of Mel Brookes though.
Its so sad they don’t make these type of movies anymore because they are hilarious compared to most modern day movies
Most modern day movies are sad parodies of better movies from the past.
John Hurt is such a legend for doing this
The comedy on top is the looks of pure "NOPE" from everyone involved.
I love how the Millennium Falcon is parked in the Diner parking lot. 😂
Are there any other recognizable space crafts? That's the only one I recognized.
Why isn't Spaceballs as big as star wars.?
George prevented them from advertising merchandising. It's quite sad this movie never got to reach its full potential
@@The_White_House maybe that's for the best I would rather it be the way it is now then end up being redone and rebooted for the 10 billion time relying on nothing but a bunch of lazy references like most parody movies today.
@@The_White_House Technically it was part of the contract. George Lucas agreed to let his studio help them with the special effects under the condition there was no Spaceballs merchandise. Presumably so there would be no confusion for consumers. This is also why there's so many products seen in the film, to rib on the fact there wouldn't be any real ones.
I dunno. How did Star Wars get away with parodying Space Balls *and* get merchandising rights?
@@scorchx3000 while I want to believe you're joking, there are people who think that the novel The Hobbit ripped off the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, so I need confirmation before I can laugh.
John Hurt could never enjoy a meal without an alien bursting out of his chest.
Funny, I loved this movie as a kid. But, 28 years later I never realized this whole seen was so accurate to aliens and the cameo! Awesome!
I just watched the original chest burster scene for the first time, and I laughed so hard instead of being terrified because this was all I could think of
This is the scene that takes movie making to another level! 😂😂😂
When I was a kid, this was my favorite scene. Me and my brother would be laughing like crazy.
Oh i absolutely love this movie, Mel Brookes is a complete genius with his films, this is one of my all time favourites
Rob Reiner's mom: "I'll have what he's having."
I’m curious to see how many people get this reference
As a kid I never got the Alien parody but I definitely got the Looney Tunes reference! Awesome 👍
Same, but what makes the joke great is that I think it still largely works, even if you don't get the Alien reference.
Me: One Spoof Parody Of Alien By 20th Century Fox & One Parody Of Classic Warner Bros Cartoons Looney Tunes
I love Spaceballs, but my favorite scene was when they went to ludicrous speed.
"Spaceballs The Placemat". Never noticed that before. ☺️
The fact that John Hurt was also in Alien makes this scene 10x funnier.
"Well if it isn't lone star...and his sidekick puke".
Great film.
Classic scene. RIP John Candy and John Hurt.
And Eddie Van Halen!
That was nice of the restaurant to build a tiny little door on the counter just incase a dancing musical alien need to use it :3
@Wayne Flanigan No its actually for Aliens, they were made in the early 4350s 4360s...never seen a SCI FI diner before?
Pretty sure that is a health code violation
just came home from seeing romulus, and i had a hard time not cracking up at the chestburster scene. This has 100% changed how i see ALL chest bursters, regardless of the movie
"Check Please!"
I love how the millennium falcon is chilling in the back at 0:06 even tho this movie is meant to make fun of Star Wars
One of the best scene`s ever, the very first time we all saw this, we couldn't stop laughing for over 1/2 an hr.
Anytime something strange or unusual happens, I'll say Check Please! 😂
Good to see John again. Never could control his tail.
I have seen this about a million times and it still makes me laugh hysterically. I don't know if it's the dancing or that little hat or both. Thanks Mel !
Saw this when it came out. See it a few times since then. After all these years finally noticed the Millennium Falcon.
Spaceballs, released in theatres in 1987, on VHS in 1988. All happened in the last years of the Iron Curtain. VHS players were slowly coming into my country from the West, and pirate dubbed pirate copies of Hollywood movies ended up in households way before they might've appear in theatres. So we've seen Spaceballs and the "pirated copy" scene - through a pirated copy.
John Hurt - mistrzostwo i poczucie humoru!! Wielki żal, że odszedł. R.I.P.
You could probably watch this hundreds of time and spot a new detail every time.
For instance, the placemat at 0:13.
Love and miss ya,Mr Hurt and Mr Candy
I love the fact that George Lucas was on board with doing prop effects, but did u catch the millennium falcon parked on the right side of the screen? Look again 😂😂
I haven’t seen Alien but the “Not again!” reminded me of that scene from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
The whale! 🤣
I will NEVER see the movie Alien the same way again. Sooo freakin funny!!! Mel Brooks is a genius.
Apparently John Hurt had no idea they were going to redo the chestburster scene, he thought he was purely there for a cameo/bit part.
I saw this movie as a kid before I got any of the references! What a great movie even without having a clue what they were joking about.
The way she says "soup" is super cute
I was 14 and I loved this movie. And Goonies
0:04 You can see the Millennium Falcon in the parking lot on the right side.
After reading this, I double-checked the scene again. Good job. Also, inside the diner, the counter contained a "Spaceballs, the Placemat" placemat. 😎
When I was a kid between eight or ten years old, I've seen that film in TV long before I saw the first alien movie. Then when I saw the alien scene in the alien movie I felt like "oh no, not again". I still remember Spaceballs (now I am 40 years). 😅
So random, so hilarious, plus anything worth puppets is good.
I always like the “Spaceballs the Placement” tray intro!….😂😂😂! Perfect set-up!😂!
