The Mel-iverse: Could the Spaceballs Universe Collide With Other Parody Worlds?
If there’s one constant in the Spaceballs universe, it’s this: logic is optional, comedy is mandatory, and the fourth wall was never real to begin with. Which raises an intergalactic question: What if Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money doesn’t just stay in its own universe… but smashes straight through the parody multiverse?
Ludicrous Speculation from The Sequel Desk: 100% Not Approved by Anyone
Both Frankenstein and Spaceballs have characters screaming nonsensically and getting slapped mid-monologue.
Men in Tights and Spaceballs feature swashbuckling heroes who break character to look at the camera.
Everyone shares a deep love for cheap props and dance numbers that come out of nowhere.
Mel Brooks Already Built a Multiverse (Sort of)
From Young Frankenstein to Robin Hood: Men in Tights to History of the World, Part I & II, Brooks has spent his career crafting ridiculous realities that could absolutely exist in the same satirical dimension as Spaceballs.
If Marvel can build a cinematic multiverse with variants and sacred timelines, surely Mel Brooks can do it with wigs, rubber swords, and industrial-strength sarcasm.
The Wormhole of Absurdity
Let’s imagine the setup.
The Schwartz becomes unstable after being monetized too aggressively—thanks to the newly reformed Mega-Mega-Maid mining Schwartz particles and bottling them as energy drinks. Lone Starr and Vespa’s kids (probably twins that get separated at birth) trigger a dimensional collapse while accidentally activating a time-traveling Winnebago.
BOOM.
They land in 13th-century England where Robin Hood is busy fighting for Merchandise Justice.
They bump into Count de Monet, trying to escape the French Revolution in a hover-bathtub.
And somewhere, Dr. Frankenstein is trying to clone a new Igor with the help of AI.
This could turn Spaceballs 2 into the most ridiculous crossover since Avengers: Endgame—only with more excitement and budget constraints.
What’s the Point? (There Isn’t One, That’s the Point)
Would any of it make sense? Absolutely not.
Would that stop Mel Brooks from doing it? Absolutely not.
Would audiences eat it up like a freshly opened box of Spaceballs: The Cereal? You bet your bleeps, sweeps, and creeps they would.
This kind of chaotic crossover would:
Let Brooks pay tribute to his greatest hits
Poke fun at the cinematic multiverse trend
Introduce a whole new generation to classic characters through unlicensed time travel
Plus, imagine the merchandising opportunities.
“Young Frankenstein’s Monster Energy Drink™” practically sells itself.
Final Thought: The Schwartz Is Strong in All Universes
In the end, a Brooksian multiverse might be the most logical next step in an illogical galaxy. Spaceballs was never just a Star Wars spoof—it was a love letter to absurdity, and the sequel has a chance to turn that absurdity up to Ludicrous Speed.
So don’t be surprised if Spaceballs 2 starts with Dark Helmet… and ends with a musical number.
Because in this universe, more money might just mean more Mel.
