“Spade” was pretty solid up until that wretched finale, though. 

Monsieur Spade was a really great series up to its catastrophically horrible finale.  I’m still trying to wrap my head around what they were thinking with that one.

Monsieur Spade was an asinine mess, with one of the most ridiculous finale ever shot.

Really cannot overstate how good X-Men ‘97 is. The mutant metaphor has never felt more relevant, it’s way more mature than the original show, and it made a really compelling case for “Magneto is right.”

Mr and Mrs Smith is not good. Maybe a few episodes are good, but not overall.

Glad to see Evil on this list. Not enough people know about, let alone watch, this amazing and fun show.

Never saw it!

I always assumed the 2nd movie would be named “Spaceballs III: The Search For Spaceballs 2: The Search For More Money”

It is absurd.

To be fair, Hardy’s American accents have never been all that good.

The Chicago accents in the trailer are soooo bad. I laugh every time I hear them. It’s makes “The Superfans” look toned down.

I vaguely recall Mel Brooks making a joke sometime maybe a decade ago that if there ever was a sequel, it would be called “Spaceballs III:  The Search for Spaceballs II”.

Thank you. I was looking to see if someone referenced this. It would seem to be the logical name for the sequel.

At least I laughed at the original. In the 20-30 minutes I gave History… Part 2 before I turned it off, I didn’t laugh once.

I mean even the original, which I have a soft spot for is wildly uneven, although it’s got some really funny bits.

This has pretty much always been the general consensus, from the year it was released: irrelevant, mildly ok but not terribly funny. Not reviled though haha - and yeah some people love it. Some people always love something.

Agree completely. The movie is only fitfully funny with some real groaners. The best jokes have little or nothing to do with Star Wars. The most inspired gag is the bad guys consulting the video tape of Spaceballs to find out what happened to the heroes.

“Just handed in a film script that I think may be the funniest and best thing I’ve ever worked on...” doesn’t mean a whole lot coming from Josh Gad.

Unpopular opinion: Much like the Star Wars franchise, itself, Spaceballs isn’t that great, overall, but it’s benefited from nostalgia as its primary audience first watched it when they were teens or younger. It features some gifted comedians and has a few good gags, but most of it plays like a bad SNL parody, and it…

When you become the butt of your own joke.
