This week on The VHS Vault, we’re going plaid. 🚀
We’re taking a loving look back at Mel Brooks’ sci-fi comedy classic Spaceballs, the movie brave enough to ask the important questions: What if Star Wars was made entirely out of jokes, merchandising, helmet-based overcompensation, and an army of people named Asshole?
🎬 In this episode, we talk about:
⭐ Why Spaceballs is still hilarious after all these years
🪖 Why Dark Helmet is one of Rick Moranis’ greatest comedy performances
🐶 The majesty of Barf, the mog — half man, half dog
👑 Princess Vespa, Dot Matrix, Lone Starr, Yogurt, and the rest of this ridiculous cast
🏜️ Why “comb the desert” remains one of the dumbest and funniest visual gags ever
💰 The glory of Spaceballs: The Merchandising
🌌 How Mel Brooks perfectly skewered Star Wars while creating a classic of his own
We love this movie. It’s hilarious, endlessly quotable, and somehow manages to be both a perfect Star Wars spoof and its own bizarre little comedy universe.
So grab your Schwartz, buckle up, and join us as we ask the most important question in podcasting history:
How many Assholes do we have on this podcast anyhow?
