I’m amazed we don’t have an ascii art facepalm up here yet.

I’d actually like some substance to back your opinion up. Not saying that to start a fight or challenge you mindlessly but I want to see how Spaceballs is the worst Mel Brooks movie ever quantitatively. Dracula: Dead and Loving It should be a contender I would think?

On the other hand, is this more of a, “It’s a 7 out of 10, the worst of the bunch” comment?

I would have went for “You went from Blazing Saddles to X?” =)

The cartoon was fascinating as a train wreck for about 1.5 episodes. It’s characters from a parody parodying movies…!

I think Spaceballs is not only the best Mel Brooks movie, but quite possibly the best COMEDY ever made.

OK. I was just coming from the PoV that the way I read Scott’s comment was that people wouldn’t get the “She’s a giant Transformer!” reference, which I simply found too hard to believe given the success and prominence of the live-action movies.

The movies and the assorting new TF cartoons (Beast Wars through TF Animated) don’t count with what I’m getting at. The OG Gen 1 cartoon HASN’T BEEN ON TV SINCE SCI-FI CHANNEL: STOPPED AIRING IT IN 1997/98!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even when the first DVD release of the series came out, TPTB refused to bring the show back to the airwaves (which is what they did for GI Joe, as far as letting Adult Swim air it over the summer of 2003 when GI Joe first started coming out on DVD). Same with the movies; fuck, they were originally supposed to have had the re-release of Gen1 TF out for the first movie, but the rights holders (Sony) dropped the ball due to BTS crap that kept the series from being re-released on time.

There were a few jokes in Dracula: Dead and Loving it that I thought were genuinely funny and Dave Chapell responding “It worked in Blazing Saddles” when the crowd were yelling about a black sherrif had me on the floor. That’s why I don’t think those are worse.
I think by general rule the more that Mel Brooks is featured in his movies the worse they are.

I think it’s safe to assume that he is.

This is a tremendous example of why people that fell for the Blu-Ray hype are idiots. It is completely useless for 99.99% of all movies. Yet the rubes all bought into this just like they will the new format in three years.
