Man, was that a classic. It's stood the test of time for me.

"What's the matter Colonel Sandurz? Chicken?": Dark Helmet taunts Colonel Sandurz on the bridge of Spaceball One. Lone Starr using the Schwartz ring to confront Lord Dark Helmet

The movie features a lightsaber-like-weapon duel between Dark Helmet and Lone Starr, but instead of "lightsabers" as in Star Wars, they create an energy beam emanating from their Schwartz rings. With their rings initially held in front of their pants, the light beams form two obviously phallic images. A further pun depicts Dark Helmet saying, "You have the ring, and I see your Schwartz is as big as mine...now, let's see how well you handle it!"

Dark Helmet declares himself to be Lone Starr's "father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate," before admitting that this means that they have no familial ties whatsoever, or, as he says in response to "So what does that make us?", "Absolutely nothing, which is what you are about to become!"

Ludicrous speed, go!

That was my virgin alarm. It's programmed to go off before you do.

Dark Helmet: Careful you idiot! I said across her nose, not up it!
Laser Gunner: Sorry sir! I'm doing my best!
Dark Helmet: Who made that man a gunner?
Major Asshole: I did sir. He's my cousin.
Dark Helmet: Who is he?
Colonel Sandurz: He's an asshole sir.
Dark Helmet: I know that! What's his name?
Colonel Sandurz: That is his name sir. Asshole, Major Asshole!
Dark Helmet: And his cousin?
Colonel Sandurz: He's an asshole too sir. Gunner's mate First Class Philip Asshole!
Dark Helmet: How many asholes do we have on this ship, anyway?
[Entire bridge crew stands up and raises a hand]
Entire Bridge Crew: Yo!
Dark Helmet: I knew it. I'm surrounded by assholes!
[Dark Helmet pulls his face shield down]
Dark Helmet: Keep firing, assholes!

Last one I had to look up to make sure I got it right, good movie.

That's a blast from the past.

Ludicrous speed (and its associated "not to be used at ludicrous speed" emergency brake); and the Schwartz lines were my favourite.

Some guy at NetFlix: "Hey Tom, you ever seen a movie called 'Space Balls'?"
Tom: "No. Heard of it. Why?"
Some guy: "It's suddenly popping up on everybody's queue... Just curious..."

Great movie, gotta grab it soon!
