Mel Brooks humor doesn't hold up that well for me unfortunately. I've gone back and tried to watch a few of his films now that I'm older, but it's the same as Monty Python for me. It all just feels too dated to be funny. There are still gems in all of his films that hold up, but not nearly enough to justify watching an entire movie. That's just my opinion though, I'm sure plenty of others find unlimited enjoyment in additional viewings.

Yeah, i just enjoy this one. You are right in the humor being dated. I have always gotten a kick out of spaceballs, though.

Neat fact, Elon Musk is also a big fan of Spaceballs. The merchandising Yogurt does with the flame thrower is what inspired Elon Musk to make a flame thrower that was labled "not a flame thrower" for legal reasons.
