Line 22:
* [[Adventurer Outfit]]
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: ''[[Star Wars]]'', and [[Science Fiction|sci-fi]] in general, of course.
* [[
* [[Amusing Alien]]: Is there an alien in this film who ''isn't''?
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: Vespa and Valium.
Line 89:
* [[Dramatic Timpani]]: Provided by an actual timpanist, who reappears during the evacuation sequence.
* [[The Empire]]: The Spaceballs, though apparently technically a republic, being led by a President and not a monarch.
* [[Entitled Bastard]]: The princess start out this way. She gets over it pretty quickly, however... {{spoiler|She kinda lost the attitude along with the matched luggage.}}
* [[Ermine Cape Effect]]: The king of Druidia is always wearing his [[Requisite Royal Regalia|crown and ermine robes]].
* [[Everything's Better with Princesses]]: Vespa
Line 98:
* [[Faster-Than-Light Travel]]: Light Speed < Ridiculous Speed < [[Ludicrous Speed]]. Somewhere in there is presumably "Hyperactive", courtesy of ''Eagle 5'''s Hyper-Jets.
* [[Fast-Forward Gag]]: This trope leads to another gag involving the villains watching themselves.
* [[Foe Yay]] / [[Ho Yay]]
** Lord Helmet playing with a Princess Vespa doll says to the Lord Helmet doll, "Oh, your helmet is SO big!"
** Later, he and Lonestar are comparing the size of their... um... schwartzes.
Line 207:
* [[Recycled in Space]]: Parodied relentlessly, with the ''Millennium Falcon'' equivalent being a literal Winnebago with wings -- [[Lampshaded]] when Spaceball guards call it exactly that -- and the currency being "space bucks", among other examples. Especially funny near the end, with the actual ''Millennium Falcon'' and the Winnebago both stopping for gas, IN SPACE!
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Subverted with the baby [[Alien (franchise)|xenomorph]].
* [[Ridiculous Future Sequelisation]]: ''Spaceballs'' features a trailer for ''Rocky 5000''.
* [[Ring of Power]]: Subverted, save for the lightsaber part... maybe.
* [[Robot Buddy]]: Dot Matrix, Princess Vespa's [[Robot Maid|robot hand-maid]].
Line 242:
* [[Space Based Weapon Has Cutoff Range]]: Especially the scene when Spaceball One is chasing Princess Vespa's car.
* [[Space Jews]]: "Funny, She Doesn't Look Druish!" Mel Brooks has said the only reason that the planet in ''Spaceballs'' is named Druidia is so he could throw in the line about a "Druish Princess". Plus plenty of more scenes. That's OK because Mel Brooks has [[N-Word Privileges]].
* [[Space Trucker]]: Lone Star driving a Winnebago through space.
* [[Spit Take]]: The Mr. Coffee scene. "Hot... too hot!"
* [[Spontaneous Weapon Creation]]: It's possible that this is how Schwartz weapons work. Yogurt claims that the rings from which they appear to come are really a [[Magic Feather]].
