5	* The opening shot that parodies the opening of ''Franchise/StarWars'', pushing the size of the ship up to 11, all to reveal the bumper sticker "WE BRAKE FOR NOBODY."
6	** Even better if you know Brooks's original idea for the movie, albeit one he knew he didn't stand a chance of being allowed to do, was just to shoot 90 minutes of this one gag.
7	* Admit it, you all wanted "[[BorschtBelt Spacebawls, da Flametrowah]]" after you saw this movie as a kid.
8	--> '''Yogurt:''' Da kids love dis one.
9	* You must admit, the climactic lightsaber duel was pretty cool. Even if it was a spoof of those that [[Franchise/StarWars came before]].
10	** So was Lone Starr's backflip while dodging Dark Helmet's [[SlowLaser Frickin' Laser Beams]].
11	** And if you pay attention, you can see Dark Helmet's almost nonchalant parry of Lone Starr's strike after the whole camera man gag.
12	* You do '''NOT''' want to shoot at Vespa's hair, you just don't!
13	-->'''Vespa''': My hair! He SHOT MY HAIR! [[DramaticGunCock cocking gun]] [[BerserkButton Son of a bitch!]]
14	** After her impressive display with the weapon, Barf has only one thing to say:
15	--> '''Barf''': (''takes in the carnage'') [[PrecisionFStrike HOLY SHIT!]]
16	* Barf turning the tide of battle against the {{mooks}} who had the gang backed into a corner during the escape from planet Spaceball. [[MundaneMadeAwesome With nothing but a]] [[AttackReflector spare venting pipe off the wall!]]
17	* Lone Starr using the Schwartz to reverse the vacuum of Mega Maid. Mind you, this is one man using his power against a massive ship.
18	** [[Franchise/StarWars Size matters not.]]
19	* Lone Starr is an idiot, but he managed to sneak into the self-destruct room whilst taking out two guards and even knowing how to use the code machines.
20	** Lone Starr's not an idiot, he just needed some coaching on the [[Franchise/StarTrek Vulcan Neck Pinch]].
21	* For all the jokes, Spaceball-1's transformation actually looked pretty impressive.
22	** For that matter in general the movie had really solid special effects, sets, and makeup/costume work for a comedy/spoof. On the DVD documentary, they explained how they wanted the movie to look as good as the movies they're spoofing.
23	* The SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic that plays during the AbandonShip sequence, minor SoundtrackDissonance notwithstanding.
24	** So is the SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic during the aforementioned TransformationSequence, courtesy of the timpanist.
25	** And the SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic that starts the movie. It actually wouldn't be inappropriate for a serious space opera.
26	*** Music/BonJovi's "Raise Your Hands"? Indeed not.
27	* Even though it's much more on the funny side--then again, what ''isn't'' in this film--Spaceball-1 going to LudicrousSpeed so hard that it essentially appears as a freakin' ''pattern'' to those not going fast enough is indeed an awesome thing to behold.
