Spaceballs the cartoon?

The 1987 sci-fi takeoff -- I won't dare say classic -- Spaceballs is coming to cable TV as a cartoon. The guy network G4 will begin airing the animated series in 2007. Mel Brooks, who created the movie, will help write the first 13 episodes and reprise his voicing of two characters -- President Skroob and Yogurt.

If I am forced to find 5 great lines from the movie, here they are:
5. "It's not that we're afraid, far from it, it's just that we've got this thing about death... It's not us!"
4. "Say goodbye to your two best friends, and I don't mean your pals in the Winnebago."
3. Out of order? Even in the future, nothing works!"
2. "Oh great. That's all we needed. A Druish princess."
1. "So, Lord Helmet, at last we meet again for the first time for the last time."

12345? That's the kind of combination an idiot would have on his luggage!

I just watched it last week. Love it. I still crack up at the opening scene where the ship goes on...and on...and on...and on...and on...and on...

The crowd in the theater applauded when you got to the end of the ship and "WE BRAKE FOR NOBODY" is on the bumper.

Can someone clarify a rumor that the movie was originally budgeted for something like 3 million, but was approved for $30 million, which is why they have excellent special effects? I probably don't have the $ figures correct, but this was rumored around the time the movie came out.

Also can't forget "Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gaaaaal..."

And Blazing Saddles was before the 80's. Like several of Mel Brooks' movies, it was a "perfect timing" movie. Blazing Saddles wouldn't even be allowed to be produced if it were today. In some ways Spaceballs might fit into that category.

When will then be now?
Soon.

Thank you for pressing the self destruct button.

How many assholes do we have on this ship?

My favorite bit was the one with the alien popping out of John Hurt and him saying, "Not again!"

Raspberry jam? Only one man dare use Raspberry jam! LONESTAR!

I knew it. I'm surrounded by A**holes!

Before you die, there is something you should know about us, Lonestar.

What?

I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.

What's that make us?

Absolutely nothing.

Ha ha good stuff. I love this movie. It is a classic! Next do Blazing Saddles. "Excuse me while I whip this out!"

"You have the ring, and I see your Schwartz is as big as mine. ..."

"What's the matter, Colonel Sandurz? CHICKEN?"

"They've gone to...plaid!"

Oh, and another one, after president Scroob is beamed and his head is on backwards:
"Why didn't anybody tell me my ass was so big?!"

"Yogurt! I HATE Yogurt! Even with STRAWBERRIES!"--Lord Helmet

"Do you?"
"Yes."
"Do you?"
"Yes."
"Good. Your married. Kiss her."

Everyone remembers the wedding in "The Princess Bride", but I always preferred the one in "Spaceballs".

There are actually a bunch of really funny lines I couldn't use for obvious reasons.
