A year ago, it was announced that we were finally getting Spaceballs 2 after over 35 years. Today, Mel Brooks announced that he was reprising his role as Yogurt.
He is not the only actor from the original movie who is returning to the Star Wars parody sequel. Rick Moranis and Bill Pullman are back as Dark Helmet (Darth Vader) and Lone Star (Luke Skywalker and Han Solo), according to Deadline.
No word if Daphne Zuniga will don her chastity belt again. Sadly, John Candy, Joan Rivers, Dick Van Patten, and Dom DeLuise are no longer with us, so they are confirmed not the be in it.
Josh Gad, who is one of the writers, cast himself in a role. Because of that, I have very low expectations for the film, especially after History of the World, Part II.
Spaceballs 2 is expected to be released in 2027, the 40th anniversary year of the original movie.
UPDATE: The Wrap says that Daphne Zuniga is returning as Princess Vespa.
Blazing Saddles and Paws of Fury came out almost 50 years apart. One is an adult live-action comedy; the other is an animated kids’ comedy. However, Matt Skuta
realized that there are a lot of similarities between the two when you put them side-by-side.
How stoned do you have to be to realize that they are almost the same movie?
Part of me wants to know because I want to get that high too!
Josh Gad must be stopped. He seems to be obsessed with the amazing Rick Moranis, and because of that, he thinks he can resurrect the actor’s works.
For example, he tried to do a sequel to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Thankfully, Disney+ shortened it to nothing.
Now, Variety is reporting that he is producing a sequel to Spaceballs and will star in it.
Mel Brooks is also said to be a producer. I want to know what that means because anyone who saw History of the World: Part 2 is scared because that was pure shit. And it was said that he was part of that too.
So when it comes to Spaceballs 2, I hope it goes more like Honey than History.
Leave Mel Brooks’ works alone unless he is truly part of it because there is no comedic writer today who is as brilliant as Brooks on their best day.
Are you sad that History of the World: Part II is over, and we have to wait until Hulu decides to greenlight History of the World Part III as they teased? Then I have some good news for you. They came up with an interactive game we can play until Jews in Space is a real thing. Although, MTG says that Jews are already up there shooting lasers down on us.
Anyways, back to the game. In the digital gaming experience, fans encounter the show’s colorful characters voiced by the star-studded cast with Ike Barinholtz, Nick Kroll, Wanda Sykes, and of course, the formidable Mel Brooks. The show’s mastermind is no stranger to video games, as Brooks has been involved with several previous gaming projects.
The interactive website version of the History of the World: Part II gaming experience embraces the crass humor and absurd silliness of the show (and makes no apologies) for an unforgettable, unique experience with plenty of memorable features like the fact that the world didn’t begin with a ‘big bang’ – it was actually ‘The Big Burp.’ Players will feel like they’re part of the show as they experience various historical recreations, from Amelia Earhart to Noah’s Dog Park, and more.
The game will be available to download for free next week on Xbox until March 31st and for your desktop and mobile phone until July 6th. I have already played a few rounds, and I am loving it. Even though my cat hates Noah’s Dog Park as much as she hated the bit in the series.

So, when I adopted my cat, I was told she was a Turkish Van. I knew nothing about the breed, so I looked it up online. I found out that her breed was on Noah’s Ark. Therefore, she makes me watch all the movies and TV shows about those 40 days and 40 nights on the ark.
Therefore, we got all excited when we saw that Seth Rogen was playing Noah in History of the World: Part 2 on Hulu. And then we watched the sketch, which is one of the two episodes that started streaming today.
To say she got all catty with my TV set would be an understatement. That is because Rogen’s Noah only brought dogs on the ark, and he got all mad when his daughter-in-law said she was a cat person. My cat didn’t find that funny and told me I had to write a negative review about the episodes because she is pissed. And then she pissed on my bed. I was like, what did I do?
So here you have it, my cat is not a fan of History of the World: Part 2. And if she tells me to do something, I have to do it.
OK! She is in the other room. I thought that bit was hysterical, along with what they did during Alexander Graham Bell’s first phone call, Jack Black singing as Stallon, Sigmund Freud seeing a patient, how Jesus met Mary Magdalene, and finally, the original pyramid scheme.
But don’t tell my cat I said that, or I will be history to the world.
