I didn't wanna continue this arguement, but you asked... so...

I just find Mel Brooks' humor cheap, juvenile, and basically not all that funny. Granted, I do find he's got a few good tricks (I loved the randomly-inserted bear in Spaceballs) but most of the time I just find him dry. An example of this is during the showdown between Lone Starr and Dark Helmet in Spaceballs, where they both put their Schwartz rings over their groin areas and their lightsabers come out, and Dark Helmet makes a comment about their Schwartzes being of equal size. My impression was "Was that supposed to be FUNNY?" as I realized that this was the type of joke that a high school jock would come up with.

That's just my opinion, of course.
