That would be wasting their title to repeat a joke they already told 40 years ago. Instead they went with something timely, poking fun at requels that don’t differentiate themselves from the original.
While that was hilarious, I must humbly - yet strongly - disagree.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGvblGCD7qM - 1m40s in when Dark Helmet throws the mic away does it for me. But my favorite joke - not the best, but my favorite - because I didn’t catch it the first hundred times I saw - is also in this clip at 2m20s where Dark Helmet taps Colonel Sandurz on the chest - who looks at the hand, the camera, realizes it’s coming in, and backs out of the shot. That’s just… oh man, that is like the pinnacle of the detailed thought that went into a very very silly movie.
So many movies just throw actors out there and get them to improv, and that can be great. But the sheer density of hilarity in Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstien and others… it’s just a beautiful thing. When it feels like 75% of the movie is quotable. lol
So I don’t disagree that the Virgin Alarm was great, but I think the above clip is ten times better. But you’re allowed to reverse that rating for you, of course. Long as you and I love the movie, I’m satisfied. :)

Requels suck. We already quelled enough the first time! :)
if they repeat a joke i hope its Yoghurt presenting a flamethrower as “the thing you used to love as a kid”
Best joke in the original was the virgin alarm. I could see them pulling off a callback to that.

You got me… the camera zoom reaction is a better joke. But maybe not as good a candidate for a callback!
