John Hurt shows up just to cameo in a space gag and goes full Hurt. That's a real legend.

[BeCoShooter]

Saw this is the theater when released. The audience uproar when the little guy puts the hat on, is something I'll never forget.

[TheErikWulf]

Love how he says oh no not again, like he somehow survived it the first time! 🤣

[foxibot]

I miss John Candy. He was a great actor and comedic genius. And a kind man.

[neilfoster]

RIP John Hurt, and John Candy! Both great actors, and legends in their respective fields.

[MrZics]

I love how the Spaceballs are trying to steal air from Druidia but all through the movie nobody needs a spacesuit and can freely breath in space 🤣

[PTSmash]

I hadn't seen "Alien" when I first saw this movie. When I finally saw it, "Oh, no, not again..." suddenly become downright hilarious!

[terranova]

This scene is pure genius. No one can do a spoof like Mel Brooks.

[Dustyplastic]

That little alien was the definition of horror at the time, and Mel Brooks made him sing and dance for us.

A lot of money went into doing that one gag justice. Even bringing back the OG John Hurt to sell it.

[MythicFox]

This is one of those examples of genuinely good reference humor, because IMHO it works even if you don't get it -- like a lot of us did, seeing Spaceballs when we were too young for Alien. Even without getting what he was referencing, I took "Oh God, not again" combined with the waitress' reaction as an implication that this an effed-up universe where this sort of thing just happens, and that was amusing to me.

[dastemplar]

The fact that Mel gets John Hurt to do it again makes it all the more hilarious.

[boatfloat]

I love the little details—the "Spaceballs the Placemat" was as brilliant as anything else in the picture!
"We're putting the picture's name on EVERYTHING!"

[WishMaster]

How did I not see that the falcon was parked at the diner after all these years?!?

[TheThejayman]

How many times has this happened for the diner to install a door for the Alien to go through?

[Lawcoom]

"Oh no. Not again!" HAHAHAHA Love this movie and this is a great scene. So hilarious that they got John Hurt to come in and re-enact the scene

[jimjam]

This scene scared the heck out of me when I was younger. It's left me spooked for years. I am happy to finally overcome and laugh at it now.

[Skulduggery_TV]

This scene is what made me want to watch Alien. 13 year old me ran to my mom practically begging her to let me get the DVD in the local game stop. (I mistakenly thought that if I can handle this spoof scene then I can handle the original film)

Bought the DVD and spent that night from the opening titles to end credits hidden behind a couch cushion. To this day I regret nothing.

The fact John Hurt came back just to film this short cameo scene is nothing short of perfection.

I remember reading in a booklet that came with my copy of Spaceballs that John Hurt said the fake chest for this film was much more comfortable than the one used in the original Alien.

[gerari]

The pepto bismol guy gets me every time...lol

[reidveryan]

Just realized that was John Hurt. Absolutely hilarious!
