Big oof lol
Gamers: Where's the rest of them?!
Devs: Here it is. Just 9.99
this hurts my soul

This is what we call breaking the 8th wall.
8th? There's nothing left of the 8th, I'm looking at breaking down the 49,481st wall!
4^4th wall =16th wall
I think I have a pillar on my head from the 7th wall being broken.
@Rougamaru It's a sphere
Don't ypu mean the 8th ball?
LOL. Just realized that the "scanner" was nothing but a loop of a radar image on a VHS tape. They had to eject the "scanner" in order to play Spaceballs.
That’s amazing
Good catch!
I don't see it
@@NinjaOnANinja Notice @ 00:53 that there is nothing on the screen because the VHS deck is empty. They ejected the scanner tape off camera.
@@wafflesaurus_supreme ah so it is kinda assumed to be the case and not really implied. I see.
When people say Ryan Renolds in Deadpool broke the biggest 4th wall, I show them this
lets not forget ferris bueller
This is nothing compared to the ending of Blazing Saddles. That broke the fourth wall, pulverised the pieces then paved over it
@@miranimal Like any of those movies had any walls to begin with

It even has the FBI copyright warning.
john tracy wait the FBI can't go to space
john tracy that’s the Warner bros FBI warning screen, on an MGM VHS
Didn't all videocassettes from video stores have this same warning?
@@sha11235 I think the FBI Warning is actually taken from Blazzing Saddles, a Mel Brooks comedy from Warner Bros.
There wasnt an fbi warning on the spaceballs tapes at all. Goddammit mgm.
"When will then be now?"
"Soon."
Just love this line to bits!
How soon?
when?
Then by tomorrow, they will be our prisoners.
*WHOOO!?*
When
This is a George Carlin joke, bought or stolen.
Did you know that the crew kept leaving the Styrofoam coffee cups around the set and so rather than bother making sure they weren't visible in shots, he made them part of the universe so they didn't need to worry.
So the coffee jokes were literally written to cover for lazy stage hands
If only they would have done that for Game of Thrones. I mean is that far fetch for one of the seven kingdoms to have a Starbucks?
I'm not sure if that seems believable but that makes a fantastic story.
I wouldn't have done that-left coffee cups around. Easy for me since I don't drink coffee in the first place!
I heard something similar happened with Lawrence of Arabia. When they were filming in the desert, the wind kept blowing the crew's Styrofoam cups around and ruining numerous shots, so the director banned them and ordered everyone drink from ceramic mugs.
There are film makers like Chris Nolan or Denis Villeneuve, who will go over every detail for their perfectionism because only order and discipline will create the perfect movie...
And then there is Mel Brooks. 😆
I neve realized until just NOW that scene is one of the most brilliant in film history. Think about everything that went into it, the meta-ness, the fact that they're watching a movie...of themselves...There's nothing to even compare with it.
Monty Python
This though is one of the best examples of meta-fiction!
But did you notice that it was also an homage to "Who's On First"?
@@RonJohn63 I hadn't thought of that. I guess it was.
BNo
This scene still fucks with my head. It's beyond it's time really.
Actually, it's exactly at its time.
Now.
Now
When is now?
Soon
Lmao when I saw Dark Helmet's reaction when he saw himself in the tape with the Ludicrous Speed incident.
Yeah, he was like, "Oh, boy, do I remember this incident." But I wonder how he felt seeing Skroob's beaming.
Never got a chance to see that. But if he did, Helmet would've been on the floor laughing his butt off
ladyfire44 With regard to the fast-forwarded movie, I imagine a lot of people hope President Trump's term goes by as quickly.
sha11235 "No, no, no. Go past this-- past this part. In fact, never play this again!" (Nervously sips coffee)
Well, we don't see it either, ladyfire.
I keep watching Spaceballs clips to the point where I might as well watch the whole movie.
You wouldn't regret it, that's for certain
czcams.com/video/qAGuYr3hpR4/video.html
Here it is the full movie
me too 😂
I feel the same way now that I’ve seen these clips
Out before the movie is finished.
EA Games: "Good idea, let's try that!"
CDPR afterwards: "Yup, it works, let's take it to another level".
Probably that's how ea got the idea from
1:18 That sped up footage of Dark Helmet flying into the control console slaughters me every time.
And his reaction to it. 😆
We can't stop, we have to slow down first.
Challenge accepted.
No no go past this part. In fact never play this again.
@@jt7250 Bullshit! Just stop this thing! I order you: STOP!
Showing ludicrous speed in fast forward is even more ludicrous. :D
0:27 I like how all the movies on the shelf are movies that involve Mel Brooks.
That was the joke. To get people reacquainted with his work.
@@sha11235 Also to avoid licensing
@@gloreaf1850 No, in Parenthood two years later (which Dark Helmet was also in) there is a video cassette scene and what they did was show other Universal releases for the avoidance of licensing. Remember Brooks did most of his films for 20th Century Fox and Spaceballs was done at MGM. So he did this as a gag with the other films being his previous films.
Yeah and even Rocky 1-4.
@@gloreaf1850 actually, even when it is your own products you are advertising, you still have to make paperwork with yourself to show movies in your movie
Spaceballs predicting the future of digital distribution in 87.
"When will then be now"
"Soon"
*Visibly retreats*
how soon?
They didn't break the 4th wall, Spaceball One went through it at ludicrous speed.
They've gone to plaid!
Just consider that Tesla's fastest model is called the " Plaid"...
@@SenileOtaku Elon Musk is a fan of Spaceballs
This joke inadvertently predicted how today digital releases come out before home media. And then it takes the concept of this joke to a whole new level just to pull a Who's On First bit with time.
Biggest mind fuck in a 4th wall break.
yeah, saying that this 4th wall break is actually part of the storyline
Or is it?
TheAtomicEwok yes, it's part of the storyline as they break the 4th wall in order to find the princess
Are you sure?

Seeing this in the theaters must of been mind blowing watching them watch themselves. Also I miss the sped up voices when fast forwarding a VHS tape
I was there, summer of 87.
Popcorn and twizzlers in hand.
At the AMC 13 cineplex in Jax, fla.
It was epic!
@@dimviesel I was in Brooklyn at the Kings Plaza theater, which isn't there anymore, sadly. Seeing that, I thought, "Great idea, since Mel hadn't done a film in awhile so this was a great way for people to get reacquainted with his ass, especially the new generation."
as far as I know, you could only hear those with BetaSP machines
fast forwarding on VHS tape didn't make any sound actually. It's something you see in movies as a way to explain what's going on more easily but it's not like this in reality.
You would think they would go to the END to make sure they actually won.
They couldn't go to the end because the end wasn't there yet.
But is the end now yet? :)
no not yet
They just needed to find out where Lone Starr and the others were. Once they found that, that's all they watched.
How yet?
i love how they have a tape of blazing saddles in the collection
I love how they have to eject the cassette of the radar in order to play Spaceballs.
The joke was that all the other films on there were Mel's previous films he directed. Didn't you notice that? Only one he didn't direct but produce and star in was To Be or Not to Be, just to set it clear to anyone on here who wanted to correct me. Beat ya to it.
@@cyclops8238 They didn't. You are hearing the Corporal take the tape of Spaceballs out of its holder and inserting it in the machine.
I love the part from 0:09 - 0:16 where you can see the idea slowly take shape in colonel Sandurz' head XD
Well, he has to come up with it. It doesn't come to his ass naturally.
I guess the sound of Dark Helmet drinking his coffee made the idea come to him. 😂😂😂
Probably my favorite thing in this scene is how uneasy Rick looks when he's watching himself fly into the wall. Glad I could grow up with his movies
Darth Helmet is just casually having an existential crisis by the end.
I didn't watch the movie in theaters but when I rented the VCR I was shocked at this scene haha
To think that if you knew someone, you could have rented it before it was released.
Damn it. I already missed it just now. Now.
+KingCommando 94
Just now.

You just missed it just now. Now.

Helmet's face when seeing his embarassing recklessness.
I don't think we'll ever get good parody movies like these for a long time sadly. All these movies are classics
Note that Mr. Rental also has prior Mel Brooks movies ^_^
--The Producers
--The Twelve Chairs
--Blazing Saddles
--Young Frankenstein
--Silent Movie
--High Anxiety
--History of the World, Part I
--To Be or Not to Be
Yes, that was the joke. I loved it.
The joke was to have the earlier films of Mel's there for those who didn't know who he was, since he hadn't been making as many films then. In fact, the last one, he didn't direct, but just produce and star in, but I guess it counts as his since he was involved in it so much.
Mr. Rental also has Rocky 1-4.
@@live4marilyn If you look close, you can see they have it up to Rocky XIV. I guess someone must have rented out their copy of Rocky Five...Thousand!
High Anxiety is a Parody Of Alfred hitchcock
Sir! There has been a new breakthrough in video technology. Netflix
What a brilliant bit of comedy. This would *never* happen today.
It just happened.
Not sure why it wouldn't happen today. It's not offensive or anything
@@onearthonelegionWHEN??
Still one of the best spoofmovies (and even comedies in general) EVER
This scene was ahead of its time with all the tech that goes on today with movies coming out at the same time in different types-theater, video, etc.
The meta angle, coupled with the existential aspect, is bloody excellent.
That scene is pure comedy genius.
Then and now
I actually bought one of these cassettes before the movie was made. What a time to be alive!
Man, there’s so much humor in this that I just didn’t appreciate as a kid
When they are running the tape fast and you see the scene with the Ludicrous Speed, you can hear Moranis' voice sounding so fast and it is funny.
I laughed my ass off as a kid watching this part
The fast-forwarded version of the movie is probably what will happen when aliens find the tape a few million years later and try to play it, and end up assuming that was what life on Earth was like, not even realizing that the movie is meant to be a comedy.
I love it when Corporal says the names of the movies he's pointing at while looking for Spaceballs! XD
Well, it's like reading a list to see what is there.
0:25
He walks right passed the videocassette of Spaceballs and somehow misses it. Course, I think they just wanted to reference the previous Mel Brooks movies. Nothing wrong with that
I think he just started at the beginning of the line like you do at a video store when you are searching for films.
@@sha11235 good to know, rentals was before my time
“No no no go past this. Past this part…in fact NEVER play this again”
His line delivery here just absolutely kills me 😂😂
I bet you that this movie had a lot of laughs when people back in 1987 watched this at any movie theater.
I don't remember us laughing too much at it yet we were amazed.
Spaceballs, the perfect dig at multilevel management... just fantastic.
gotta love how helmet is slowly losing it
This may come as a shock to younger audiences but fast forwarding used to be the only way to chapter select. Normal fast forwarding you could watch when to hit play (as shown) or faster fast forwarding where you couldn't watch and had to take a guess where you wanted to stop. Want to start a movie over? Hit remind and come back in a few minutes.
I love that Spaceball I flying by still takes forever.
It's one thing to break the 4th wall, it's another entirely to built a 2 minute comedy skit around it!
Prepare to fast fowrwrd!
Huckabee Gaming Why are you "preparing"!? You're always preparing; just go!
*Sees FBI warning screen* 😀
Stop preparing just go!
One of the funniest moments in comedy movie history!
Mel Brooks = Comic Genius! thanks for posting!
Dark Helmet: Have you found them yet?
Corporal: No, Lord Helmet, they're still not on the scanner.
Dark Helmet: Well, keep looking for them. [taking a couple sips of coffee through his helmet]
Colonel Sandurz: Pardon me, sir. I have an idea. Corporal, get me the video cassette of "Spaceballs: the Movie".
Corporal: Yes, sir.
[Corporal searches a Mr. Rental shelf full of Mel Brooks films and reading each title]
Corporal: "The Producers," "Twelve Chairs," "Blazing Saddles," "Young Frankenstein"...
Dark Helmet: Colonel Sandurz, may I speak with you please?
Colonel Sandurz: Yes, sir!
Dark Helmet: [lifts helmet and whispers to Colonel Sandurz and himself quietly] How can there be a cassette of "Spaceballs: the Movie"? We're still in the middle of making it!
Colonel Sandurz: Oh, that's true, sir, but there's been a new breakthrough in home video marketing.
Dark Helmet: There has?
Colonel Sandurz: Yes! Instant cassettes. They're out in stores before the movie is finished!
Dark Helmet: [in disbelief] Nah!
Corporal: Here it is, sir! [takes out cassette and holds it] "Spaceballs"!
Colonel Sandurz: Good work, Corporal, punch it up!
[Corporal puts in tape and it shows an F.B.I. Anti-Piracy warning]
Colonel Sandurz: That's much too early. Prepare to fast-forward!
Corporal: Preparing to fast-forward.
Colonel Sandurz: Fast-forward!
Corporal: Fast-forwarding, sir!
[Corporal fast-forwards to the part where Dark Helmet dented his helmet severely]
Dark Helmet: [about the part where he dented his helmet severely] No-no-no, go past this, past this part. In fact, never play this again. [sips coffee in embarrassment]
Colonel Sandurz: Try here. Stop.
[Corporal stops the tape, then Dark Helmet and Sandurz come across an image of themselves viewing the screen. As they react, the screen mimics what they are doing]
Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at?! When does this happen in the movie?!
Colonel Sandurz: "Now". You're looking at "now", sir. Everything that happens now [indicates himself and Helmet] is happening "now". [Indicates the screen]
Dark Helmet: What happened to "then"?
Colonel Sandurz: We passed "then".
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now. Were at "now," now.
Dark Helmet: Go back to "then"!
Colonel Sandurz: When?
Dark Helmet: Now!
Colonel Sandurz: Now?
Dark Helmet: Now!
Colonel Sandurz: I can't.
Dark Helmet: Why?!
Colonel Sandurz: We missed it.
Dark Helmet: When?!
Colonel Sandurz: Just now.
Dark Helmet: ... When will "then" be "now"?
Colonel Sandurz: Soon.
Dark Helmet: [backpedals in shock] How soon?
[Corporal rewinds the tape back to a scene showing protagonists wandering in desert]
Corporal: Sir!
Dark Helmet: What?!
Corporal: We have identified their location.
Dark Helmet: Where?!
Corporal: It's the moon of Vega!
Colonel Sandurz: Good work, set a course and prepare for our arrival!
Dark Helmet: [increasingly panicked] When?!
Corporal: 1900 hours, sir!
Colonel Sandurz: By high noon tomorrow, they will be our prisoners!
Dark Helmet: WHO?!! [mask falls down]
I guess the coffee wasn't as hot this time.
We've all been there before. The conversation gets more intense after you're already confused about the situation. Desperately trying to reinsert your presence. Only to get blocked by your stupid face mask at the end.
Why do people do this?
The speech between Sandurz and DH is pretty long for the Corporal to go through the list to find Spaceballs. In fact, he is already pretty much there when the conversation begins.
We need more captions like this on videos
BEST MOVIE EVER, I SEE IT SO MANY TIMES 😁😁😁
I've watched this movie hundreds of times in my life. I remember being a Teenager one night watching this movie with my Dad. At the time I didn't know this, but my Dad told me that all those movies displayed on this scene were Directed by Mel Brooks
Best 4th wall break in cinematic history. Only Mel Brooks could pull that off.
This one clip is more entertaining than any show on Netflix
Long time since I watched this documentary. Good times
To this day this scene still makes me laugh my ass off especially the part where they see themselves watching the movie and how Colonel Sanders was explaining everything to Dark Helmet about that scene and all it did was give me a headache.

Just brilliant . Mel Brooks is a genius
This is deep man.
It's breaking the fourth wall, rebinding, cogitating, rebounding, and returning to the concept value of astonishing.
Fantastic performance, by all involved, in the name of 'True Wit'.
I saw this film on video years ago, have watched it numerous times ( most of my friends just didn't get it.
This was my Mel Brooks intro, and have no regrets. I also like his take on Dracula and Robin Hood- the 'walk this way' in that was hilarious and I've done my share of imitations for it.
Walk this way was also done in YF and History..
@@sha11235 I'm aware of that, but in Men in
Tights, to me it was the funniest b c of how the Sherriff of Rottingham did the walk and how everyone including Robin Hood shrugged their shoulders and followed suit!
That was hilarious also when the Sherriff throws his hair back and does that flaming walk. I liked R H Men in Tights, but hearing him try to sing was ridiculous and I couldn't
stand Broomhilde, although Maid Marian, the merry men, Prince John and of course,
Achoo 'bless you me!' I know, was a riot too!
@@tonyb0904 Robin Hood had Mel recycle some of his jokes from earlier films, even from here. You have someone get hurt in the crew and when the hero can't get the villain with his weapon, the villain laughs and then the hero punches him the face, for two examples.
i need the blooper reel for this movie, there has to be one!
There is, its called spaceballs the movie.
Who ever thought of this is must be given an Oscar! That was just brilliant!!!
"When? !"
... "J u s t now."
"Ludicrous speed!"
... "Smoke if you got 'em."

I was so rejoiced to see one of my all time favorite movies being referenced in a modern movie

This is the Best Fourth Wall Break in all of Fourth Wall Breaks Even Deadpool Can’t Top This
Best gag in the whole movie-having Brooks' earlier films there in a row.
Mel Brooks, the master of the 4th wall breaks.
how the hell did they predict early access for games?
lots of movies do that it's like people take ques of movies.
I love how when you watch someone fast forward a tape in a cartoon or something, the voices get all high pitched and squeaky.
That is because that was indeed the case before digital compression. If the wave oscillates at twice the speed, it has twice the frequency and hence is one octave higher.
@@paulrandig That's also how it works with digital recordings when you speedup playback unless you take extra steps to mix the audio back to its original frequency range.
1:35 imagine seeing this scene while high? You’d be freaking out 😂
That moment when your computer needs to resynch its clock and you're in the middle of a Skype chat...
+NSZNeo Omg a RWBY and a spaceballs fan aswell. Small world :D
_"When will then be now?"_
This is the point I really broke.
it’s funny cause I once thought Mel Brooks movies didn’t age very well….Now that I’m in my 30’s these jokes hit so freaking hard
This movie was ahead of its time
Instant games, they're early access, out before the game is even finished.

0:27 I was just watching Blazzing Saddles video's last video =D
+markopatrakka There is an awesome joke right there in that all the movies on the shelf are movies Mel Brooks either produced, directed, or starred in.
I think Mel did that because he hadn't done a film in several years, so he wanted to re-introduce people to his work. All the films there he directed, except for To Be or Not To Be, which he produced and starred in. He still was involved with it. He didn't direct because he wanted someone to watch him so he didn't go over the top with every scene. Producers and Young Frankenstein he didn't appear in, but did voices. Of course, since this film was done, there were more films after that that Brooks worked on-Life Stinks, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Dracula: Dead and Loving It, Screw Loose, and The Producers: The Movie Musical, to name a few.
Ah, that scene is rife with vaudvillian influence. Mel Brooks, I loves ya!
When Mel Brooks owned the 4th wall break. Greatest moment in film history.....WHOOOOOO?
