The Kidd here...
Wow... that was some batch of entries. And it surely wasn't easy to narrow all of them down to just one winner, as all I have available to dish out is one copy of SPACEBALLS: The 25th Anniversary Edition on Blu-ray.
In fact, this time, I couldn't go without putting up some of the other tie-in submissions that were in the running or at least got my consideration for a few moments along the way. So, while they may be first losers, they still made an impact, from the truly outrageous to the seriously bizarre to the just straight-out fucked-up. So here's their due:
- Mark Avery - Spaceballs the Boob Job
- Bob Bankard - Indispensable Barf Bags
- Joey Barr - Spaceballs the Home Pregnancy Test "For all those times when maybe you should've just given some helmet."
- Edward Berkman - Spaceballs the Do-It-Yourself Abortion Kit "Don't be a father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate."
- Jim Brown - The 1988 Classic Spaceballs: The Hanukkah TV Special, newly released on VHS
- Matt Callaway - Spaceballs the Anal Beads (complete with sound effects)
- Mike Cavender - Spacetwats: the officially licensed shameless subpar direct-to-video sequel starring Casper Van Dien as Lonestar and Larry the Cable Guy as Barf
- Steve Dixon - Spaceballs the Douche
- Matthew Hall - Spaceballs the Home Oxygen Therapy Kit
- James Klein - Spaceballs the Diaphragm
- Coastas Koromilas - Spaceballs the Catheter
- John Manigrasso - Spaceballs the Invasive Ultrasound Wand
- Dan Marks - Spaceballs the Rectal Thermometer
- Josh Miely - Spaceballs the Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Men
- Stuart Monroe - Spaceballs the Speculum
- Scott Murphy - Spaceballs the Autoerotic Asphyxiation Breakaway Noose
- Caleb Ostrander - Spaceballs the Vacuum Cleaner "She's gone from suck to blow!"
- Eric Spikes - Spaceballs the Anti-Depressant
- Liam Stephenson - Spaceballs the Culottes
- Thomas Wiebel - Spaceballs Major Asshole's Hemorrhoidal Cream
I'm sure Mel Brooks would have been proud of your potential contributions to his marketing department, and each and every one of those was damn good. But there was one entry that just made sense and seemed to hit the mark for everything SPACEBALLS is and everything it's remembered for. If not for the extra Photoshop effort, it would have been a little too simple for me, but it's impossible to not take a good look at this and laugh. So here's your winner:
- Nick Tierce - Spaceballs the Comb Set
There you go. That's it. Thanks for playing. And thanks to MGM for setting this up.
