Spaceballs, the funniest movie ever?

[The diplomat]

Is Spaceballs the funniest movie ever?

Here are some memorable quotes from the movie:

President Skroob: What's the combination?
Colonel Sandurz: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5.
President Skroob: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5?
Colonel Sandurz: Yes.
President Skroob: That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!

Colonel Sandurz: Prepare ship for light speed!
Dark Helmet: No no no, light speed is too slow!
Colonel Sandurz: Light speed too slow?
Dark Helmet: Yes, we're gonna have to go right to... ludicrous speed!
Colonel Sandurz: Ludicrous speed? Sir, we've never gone that fast before. I don't know if this ship can take it!
Dark Helmet: Whatsa matter, Colonel Sandurz? Chicken?

Colonel Sandurz: It's Mega-Maid! She's gone from suck to blow!

Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?
Colonel Sandurz: You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now is happening now.
Dark Helmet: What happened to then?
Colonel Sandurz: We passed then.
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now. We're 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: How soon?
Corporal: Sir!
Dark Helmet: What?
Corporal: We've 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: When?
Corporal: Nineteen hundred hours, sir!
Colonel Sandurz: By high noon tomorrow, they will be our prisoners!
Dark Helmet: Who?!

Yogurt: Merchandising, merchandising, where the real money from the movie is made. Spaceballs the T-shirt. Spaceballs the lunchbox. Spaceballs the coloring book. Spaceballs... the flamethrower! Kids love it. And my favorite, Spaceballs the Doll -- me!
[Pulls string]
Doll: May the Schwartz be with you!

[nurse exits]
Dark Helmet: I bet she gives great helmet.

[Playing with his dolls]
Dark Helmet: [In Dark Helmet voice] And now Princess Vespa, I have you in my clutches, to have my wicked way with you, the way I want to. [In Vespa voice] No, no, go away, I hate you! And yet... I find you strangely attractive. [In D.H. voice] Of course you do! Druish princesses are often attracted to money and power, and I have both, and you *know* it! [In V. voice] No, no, leave me alone! [In DH voice] No, kiss me! [V.] No! Stop! [DH] Yes, yes! [V.] Oh, oh, oh! Ohhhh, your helmet is so big!

[After the self-destruction mechanism has been activated]
President Skroob: Sandurz, Sandurz. You got to help me. I don't know what to do. I can't make decisions. I'm a president!

Dark Helmet: Before you die there is something you should know about us, Lone Starr.
Lone Starr: What?
Dark Helmet: I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.
Lone Starr: What's that make us?
Dark Helmet: Absolutely nothing! Which is what you are about to become.

[Lonestarr and Princess Vespa are about to kiss]
Lone Starr: What the hell was that noise?
Dot Matrix: That was my virgin-alarm. It's programmed to go off before you do!

Not the funniest ever, but still really good.

[Jamski]

Not as good as Dark Star for instance......

It's not even the 4th funniest Mel Brooks movie*, so no: It is not the funniest movie ever.

*Funnier films:

The Producers
Blazing Saddles
Young Frankenstein
History of the World

[loinburger]

Ah, I'd actually have to place it above Young Frankenstein and History of the World, but I gotta agree that The Producers and Blazing Saddles rank above it.

Besides, there's also Monty Python and the Meaning of Life, Kentucky Fried Movie, Army of Darkness...

[Urban Ranger]

It's pretty funny, but definitely not the funniest. I'd have to put Princess Bride and A Fish Called Wanda about it, say.

[JohnT]

Not to mention Raising Arizona, the Big Lebowski, etc.

[Adagio]

I love that movie, it's so damn funny... not the funniest movie ever, but still among the top 5 funniest movies ever...

[Arrian]

I agree with the majority here: very funny, but not the funniest.

And by the way, you missed the best scene of all:

(from memory):

Helmet: Who made that man a gunner?
MA: I did, sir, he's my cousin.
Helmet: Sanders, who is that man?
Sanders: He's an *******, sir.
Helmet: I can see that! But what's his name?
Sanders: That is his name, sir. *******, Major *******.
Helmet: And his cousin?
Gunner: Gunner's Mate, 1st class, Philip A. *******, sir!
Helmet: How many *******s we got on this ship, anyway?
Entire crew: YO!
Helmet: I KNEW it! I'm surrounded by *******s! *lowers visor* KEEP FIRING, *******S!

Good movie

I don't think there is a "funniest movie ever".

[Adagio]

...I guess I'll watch this movie tonight... it's been a while since I last saw it...

[Berzerker]

In my top ten, but not first. Blazing Saddles would edge it out...

1) Dumb and Dumber
2) Something About Mary
3) It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
4) Blazing Saddles
5) The Pink Panther Strikes Again (Lom tries to kill Sellers)
6) The Russians are Coming, the Russians are Coming
7) Spaceballs
8) Monty Python and The Holy Grail
9) Raising Arizona
10) Mars Attacks
10) Betelgeuse
10) Ghostbusters
10) Young Frankenstein

and a few more...

[Sava]

[dumb and dumber]
"Have you ever been to Aspen?"
"No, I hate the French!"

[Berzerker]

I know it's a silly movie, but Carrey and Daniels are great together. Had me busting up every minute or so...

[Berzerker]

Btw, the practice fight scene between Clousseau and Kato in "Strikes Back" is hilarious. And when Clousseau tries to get into Dreyfuss' castle then finally gets in disguised as a dentist and pulls the wrong tooth while Dreyfuss is under the laughing gas.
