The Best Star Wars spoof

Post by Tychu »

I was just curious what the the best Star Wars spoofs were in every ones opinion. We all know of the Mel Brooks film Space Balls with a Druish Princess with bun earmuffs, Ruff (i think) whos hes own best friend . a guy thats both Luke and Han put togehter and the great Pizza the Hut

Than we have the lesser known Thumb Wars with....thumbs. "IF there were thumbs in space and they got mad at each other there would be.....Thumb Wars"

"Why do we all speak with British Accents, when there is no Britain?, ::choke::" ahhh the quotes

Than theres the even lesser known From Beyond the Rift episode that actually came out a good 3 years before the show that involved the characters fighting StormTrooper esch baddies the Clown baddy dressed like the Darth we...love yeah and all of that

Then theres more that anyone else can add
"Boring Conversation anyway" Han Solo

"What kinda archeologist carries a weapon........Bad Example" Colonel Jack O'Neil

"My name is Olo... Hans Olo" -Dr. Daniel Jackson

Hardware Wars, which I used to get to watch in school when I was a kid. Besides Spaceballs it's the only film spoof I can think of. I haven't see the other two in your polls.

Spaceballs was just a tad too over the top for my tastes.

No option for Hardware Wars? Heritic! How dare you make a spoof poll without including the classic that brought us waffle irons of doom, flying toasters, Ham Salad, and the greatest single line for a movie promotion!

Crap! Where's that heritic image when I need it...?

Spaceballs was pretty good, though - I got the DVD for Christmas, and I'm itching to see the specials on it.

It's been like twenty years since I last saw it, so I couldn't honestly vote for it without being able to say that my memories might not be tainted by childish glee. But god, I remember laughing my head off at the scene where they deflate the basketball that stood in for Alderaan.

Thumbwars had some good stuff in it, some of it was better than Spaceballs - which, IMO, has some good scenes but lots which could have been done better or not at all. Some sort of cross between the two would have been fantastic.

I'd write more, but I'll only write for school girl giggles. :D

Has anyone seen the full version? I only have the 20min version that was in the first release or something.

Dudes, Spaceball rocks. I can't go 24 hours without quoting that movie at least once. Examples:

There's only one man who would dare give me the raspberry

You petty excuse for an officer

She's gone from suck to blow

Ludicrious Speed

What's the matter Colonel Sanders? Chicken?

Now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb

I see your schwartz is as big as mine

I always drink coffee when I watch radar

Suck, suck, suck

Keep firing, assholes!


How can one not like this movie?

In short films, of course TROOPS, and I'd love a feature length Pink Five Strikes Back ....

The Empire Strikes Backyard was pretty good, too.

Ah, Spaceballs. So many fun quotes.

"Merchandising, where the real money from the movie is made."

"We're not just doing it for money. We're doing it for a Shitload of money."

"Water my ass!! Get this man some Pepto-Bismol!"

"Please, please, I'm just plain Yogurt."

"Say goodbye to your two best friends, and I'm not talking about your pals in the winnebago."

"Even in the future, nothing works!"

"Keep firing, Assholes."

"Why didn't anyone tell me my ass was so big?"

"Pizza's gonna send out for you."

"Lock 1, Lock 2, Lock 3, Loch Lomond."

"Don't ever call me on this wall. It's an unlisted wall."

For the poll, I vote Spaceballs. I also rather liked TROOPS and How the Sith Stole Christmas.

but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...
