I should really change my signature to professional thread necromancer.
Anyway, I saw this thread and I just wanted to respond to this:

First off, it's not in every single fiver. Most of the two-part or continuing stories have differing jokes -
Enterprise heads off at Dolorous Speed.
Second, to point out the obvious, Spaceballs is a parody of Star Wars specifically and science fiction in general. But it is also a homage to all of these, as is most parodies, and this site is a homage as well. I think Mel Brooks would approve of the homage to his movie.
And third, thank you for never doing a Spaceballs fiver.
