Line 14:
An [[Animated Adaptation]] based on this film -- ''Spaceballs: The Animated Series'' -- was developed a couple of decades later; it languished in [[Development Hell]] for so long, only thirteen episodes were made. G4 eventually gained the rights, but due to said [[Development Hell]], it ended up promoting the show before it was ready. The series didn't air until a year later, and by that point, production had been axed before the first episode ever aired.

* [[Abandon Ship]]: [[Played for Laughs]]. ''Everybody'' is shown running for the escape pods in the film's climax -- the orchestra, a variety of circus freaks, and even [[Everything Is Worse With Bears|a bear]] -- but leaving behind Colonel Sandurz, President Skroob, and Dark Helmet. Many of these are part of the capper of a [[Brick Joke]] initiated when Colonel Sandurz orders the cancellation of a three-ring circus and the closing of the zoo aboard ''Spaceball One'' as part of the preparations for [[Ludicrous Speed]].
* [[Acting for Two]]: Mel Brooks himself, playing both Yogurt and President Skroob.
