agreed. worse yet this was back in the day you ended up watching it with people who wouldn't rant and rave about it. and you had to pretend to laugh else people would notice and give you shit.

Seems like /tv/ has a hate boner for this movie, can't figure out why.

Agreed.

I tried to watch it on Netflix a few weeks ago. Couldn't get more than 10 minutes in.

yeah its bad but calling this bad is like calling game of thrones bad, the source material is something you would buy next to the checkout at a supermarket, so it was always doomed... its just that a lot of rly dumb ppl whove never read ne books or seen any good movies before are blown away by it, so it goes down as being good.

It's biggest problem was that it was released several years too late. Well that and being Jews in space. It had it's moments though. It's an aquired taste like most of Mel Brooks shite.

Jew humor does not age well. Or rather, Mel Brooks humor does not age well.

I just watched it a week ago and didn't strike me the way it did when I was a child.
I mean is just Bill being silly, the other two being shadowed by him and the nigger being there because "m-muh diversity". It's a bad movie with a mediocre performance for almost everyone on the cast and with a kind of silly plot.
The effects are comfy though.

It's very much a movie of it's time. Cheesy everything, from the dialogue to the effects. A lot of the comedy in Bill comes from the fact that the word is ending and he's just as Jaded and consented as before. The black guy may have been there for diversity, but he plays the part well.

And of course it's going to have a silly plot, it's a fucking comedy.
>>
>>70265847
The nigger was supposed to be Eddie Murphy. When he didn't want to do it, they reduced the role. It's not a muh diversity role.
>>
It's not funny to YOU. There's a lot of different levels of comedy. Watch waht you like an dlet other people watch what they like.

Who knows, maybe in a few years you'll find that kind of stuff funny. People change.

Well, too bad he didn't played it because it ended up being an unnecessary character.

This

The internet allows you to receive the highest quality humor in the world, on demand, instantly, in a great abundance. Movies cost you time (and money) and you must sit and wait for 2 hours to receive that tiny bit of 15 seconds of laughter.

And then come websites like 4chan. I'm actively browsing this shithole since 2007, almost 365 days a year for a couple of hours each, and I've personally witnessed the massive "culture shift" that went through here. Remember the times everyone thought gifs, trollface and edgy jokes were funny, then how the humor "evolved" into spamming pastas, then ragecommics and so on? After which everyone got bored and it "evolved" again into its next stage - meme posting, which is currently in the process of evolving into ironic shitposting.

This site's format, for some fucking reason, has allowed for a rapid culture evolution that surpasses any other. At the moment the rest of the internet is barely entering the memeposting phase, still finding gifs and pictures with text hilarious, while we're about to exit the ironic shitposting phase and discover yet another style of humor. And outside the internet, people aren't even at the meme phase yet, they're literally so far behind that they think that a line in a movie that a 12 year old could've come up with is the peak of humor.
>>
So I'm guessing the average age of this thread is under eighteen, correct?

How contrarian do you dumb fucks have to be?

Moranis' scenes are GOAT
Everything else is cringeworthy except for some pontual stuff

so you're autistic and angry it was making fun of star wars.
>>
>>70267729
What lies beyond ironic shitposting?
>>
>>70267729
LEEPEST DOOR

Also, I'm calling it now, the next phase of humor will be the comfy phase. Everyone will be unironically nice to each other, but it will be some banter here and there, but nothing serious.
>>
>>70268166
Hell and we won't need eyes for it. Post-ironic swhitposting
>>
>>70268161
So you're autistic and angry I don't find your childish parody "humor" funny.

Protip: most people don't, because it's shit.

I didn't even watch the OT until I was like 13. Spaceballs looked like shit before then, and still looks like shit afterwards. Parody movies have never been funny, no matter what they are parodying. Parody by nature is the most brainless lazy form of comedy there is.

The issue with Spaceballs is pretty simple: parody is shit if you don't love the thing you're parodying

Mel's Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein were great because he worshiped the old Westerns and Universal monsters movies so there were tons of great subtle touches and the parody worked on a lot of levels. Same with the Zucker bros and their love for 70's disaster movies and cops shows with Airplane! and Naked Gun.

Watching Spaceballs you can tell Mel doesn't give a shit about Star Wars or that he's even seen it more than once or twice. He just picked the most popular pop culture phenomenon at the time to maximize the number of potential viewers

>>70268166
It's impossible to predict, but I have that autistic urge to model everything around me and to make predictions based on that model, so I'd guess that it will be something that fits the current model for 4chan so far - contrarianism and elitism. Something the mainstream wouldn't get and something that will be hard to come up with at the same time.

Something that would make the rest of the "levels of humor" look pathetic and outdated, like ironic shitposting currently does to everything below it. Something to which a serious reply would be mocked by everyone else, like in the case of current shitposting. The only thing that comes to my mind and falls into all of those categories, and the model, is baitposting - the act of writing a shitpost that's intentionally written in a serious and a structured way as to invoke a serious emotion from the readers' side, and therefor a content for humor - their serious replies. Something the mainstream wouldn't understand or laugh at (as is ironic shitposting currently) and actually takes some "cultural intelligence", if you can classify it that way, to craft.

It's actually currently in its infancy and you can spot such a fine post once in a while in the most popular boards - /tv/, /pol/ and /int/. My prediction is that it will be pointed towards the mainstream, instead of baiting fellow browsers. Something like #cutforbieber but on steroids.

But again, organising such shit would require less mainstream exposure than 4chan currently has, so my other prediction is that 4chan is reaching its peak of being the funniest place on the net and another one will soon pop up to dethrone it, with a different style of communication - maybe not an imageboard at all. Just like in the case of of somethingawful, and 4chan dethroning it.

But that's just modelling history and trying to predict the future based on it - it's just the mean average. There are a lot of unpredictable peaks around it.
>>
WEVE BEEN JAMMED
>>
It's one of those movies that are funnier in hindsight. I pretty much never laugh when actually watching the movie, but I burst out laughing every time I try to describe it. Stuff like combing the desert and jamming the radar are legit funny, but I've never laughed at it while watching it. In fact, Spaceballs is boring to watch and I'd even go so far as to say that it's almost on the level of Kubrick flicks. It's the Clockwork Orange of parody movies.
>>
>>70270947
>I'd even go so far as to say that it's almost on the level of Kubrick flicks
What do you mean by this?
>>
>>70262285
If you don't think spaceballs is funny you really should just off yourself.
>>
Certainly not his best work, and it wasn't even a timely parody. But there's still some good jokes.
>>
>>70271061
It takes something that should be legitimately interesting and turns it into a snooze fest. Only engaging thing Kubrick ever directed was Fullmetal Jacket. Everything else is boring to watch, despite how engaging everything is on paper.
>>
I remember watching it on tv as a kid, it was ok but most of the jokes seemed flat. I thought I was too young to understand the humor. Watched it again later on and it still was unfunny
