11	* Dark Helmet's attempt to get Vespa by disguising himself as her father. The eerie soundtrack in that scene is what makes it this trope. Thank god it's quickly subverted.
12	-->"[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments FOOLED YOU!]]"
13	* Pizza the Hutt is pretty damn freakish and he dies (off-screen) in a particularly disturbing way. Not to mention Vinny makes it ''worse'' by eating some of him and declaring him delicious, which is sick on so [[HoYay many]] [[ConsumingPassion levels]].
14	** To say nothing of the implication that Vinny might have ultimately '' eaten his boss alive''.
15	* The alien bursting out of Creator/JohnHurt's chest... [[MoodWhiplash right up until it starts singing]].
16	* The king giving up the password comes across as unreasonably cowardly at first, and the "threat" of reversing the princess's nose job seems laughable. But consider this. Vespa fainted seconds before with no hints of anesthetic around. The doctor picks up a couple of large, sharp instruments to do the work. And the king is about to watch his daughter's face be mutilated on a video channel ''that's still open!!'' [[EvilIsPetty Petty evil]] at its scariest.
17	** Worse, according to the novel when that failed President Skroob came up with a even worse torture, BRANDING his name on Vespa! [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Dark Helmet was disgusted at such a ruthless technique]] despite him being ruthless even though he doesn't know what ruthless means!
18	* In general, the abundance of [[TheCaligula Caligulas]] running the Spaceballs--President Skroob is a ditherer and responsible for wasting all of their air, and Dark Helmet is a {{Manchild}} with a HairTriggerTemper. Even though this is all PlayedForLaughs, there's no denying that an organization that's so StupidEvil it has to resort to [[PlanetLooters draining the oxygen off a planet]] is pretty scary.
