** Although, if the scene were cut out viewers would likely wonder why Barf is complaining about "starving" and that they should have stayed for the wedding dinner, when Vespa's father said in an earlier scene they took money for lunch, gas, and tolls.

*** Speaking of the cartoon, one episode deals with an ebola outbreak. Not so funny now that Ebola has made it to the US (not that the cartoon was funny to begin with).

*** Similarly, the Spaceballs are oddly "corporate" for a straight-up parody of the purely totalitarian, militaristic Empire, but it meshes nicely with the corporate capitalist parodies that made up the villains of the Prequel trilogy.

** While most fans would agree the film mostly [[AvertedTrope averts]] this brilliantly, Princess Vespa sometimes seems more like a parody of fictional [[RoyalBrat princesses]] in general than of [[ActionGirl Leia]] in particular.

** Several of the characters seem like they could be parodies of StarWarsExpandedUniverse characters from works that came out '''after''' ''Spaceballs'', e.g. Prince Valium maps pretty well to [[TheCourtshipOfPrincessLeia Prince Isolder]] and Commanderette Zircon could easily be [[JediAcademyTrilogy Admiral Daala]]. The same also applies to the Prequels, for example Druidia looks like a parody of [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Naboo]] in retrospect with its opulent Renaissance style clothing and architecture and Princess Vespa's Mercedes spaceship also evokes Padmé's various royal yachts a lot more than Leia's relatively no-nonsense Rebel Blockade Runner.
