Spaceballs, and it's not as though that's anything special. Still beats the crap out of the other turd mentioned.

In other words no vote…

The Last Jedi. It’s flawed, but it has some good things and clever ideas in it. I seem to have lost my taste for most Mel Brooks… The last time I saw Spaceballs, the only things I found funny were John Candy because he was John Candy and the “Hello, My Baby” musical number. The Jabba-pizza thing disgusts me.

I like Spaceballs more by far, but this seems like an odd comparison. Yes, Spaceballs is mostly a Star Wars parody, but of the old films. Not sure how an old franchise parody and a decades later sequel fit as comparison pieces. Unsurprisingly, the voting is being determined by mostly personal preference than anything else. Sure, it could be argued that's what counts most when comparing films, but the other topics had match ups that made sense.

It's better, but I adore Spaceballs.

Spaceballs wins for the ALIEN scene.

I seem to have lost my taste for most Mel Brooks… The last time I saw Spaceballs, the only things I found funny were John Candy because he was John Candy and the “Hello, My Baby” musical number. The Jabba-pizza thing disgusts me. What clever ideas? Well, offhand… Killing the Emperor-substitute. (Yes, the rebuttal is that it’s just borrowing from Return of the Jedi, but even just moving it to the second entry is a surprise, makes it seem the filmmakers are ahead of the audience instead of the other way around [which just inspires boredom].) Rey’s parents’ being unconnected to the originals. (One of the few decisions in the sequel trilogy where it feels like the filmmakers wanted to tell their own story instead of reheating that of the superior originals. And, of course, negated by the last movie.) That lovely sequence in which Luke rediscovers his humanity by finding R2D2—a more human and emotional scene than anything J.J. Abrams has done. Luke’s journey back to heroism. (I like it, what can I say? Luke’s uninterest in defeating the Empire is a surprise, perhaps not a welcome one, but also not a far-fetched one if you’re seeing these characters as real human beings. Idealism and cynicism are two sides of the same coin, and in the originals Luke was by far the most idealistic character.) Yeah, there’s a lot bad with it, from purple-haired Laura Dern to that horrendous subplot with the horses. And nearly all the good stuff Johnson sets up gets negated by Abrams in the last movie. But, as a movie all its own, it shows tons of imagination, which I don’t think we have enough of in the movies anymore.

Wait a minute, this is actually a close vote? Wow, sometimes you folks disappoint me.
Spaceballs, easily.

The real question should be which movie is funnier, Spaceballs is hilarious for all the right reasons but The Last Jedi is hilarious for all the wrong reasons, turning a multibillion franchise into a multimillion one is probably the funniest thing to get out of it.
