Honest Trailers Goes Full Ludicrous Speed on SPACEBALLS
Screen Junkies just dropped an Honest Trailer for Spaceballs, and it’s a gloriously stupid, perfectly timed tribute to Mel Brooks’ sci-fi parody masterpiece, specially now that Spaceballs 2 is officially on the way.
The video rockets through everything that made the original film a chaotic gem like Rick Moranis as the congested Dark Helmet, Yogurt’s low-rent mysticism, Barf being his own best friend, flamethrowers, virgin alarms, and that cursed Alien musical number.
It amusingly jokes about shameless merchandising, fourth-wall breaks, and the iconic password gag "12345?!", while also reminding us just how ahead of its time it was in skewering Star Wars and the entire culture of blockbuster branding.
As the Schwartz reawakens, Honest Trailers reminds us why this galaxy of dumb jokes and cheap effects still rules, because in the end, we ain’t found shit… quite like it.
