Spaceballs the cartoon?

Spaceballs_1 The 1987 sci-fi takeoff -- I won't dare say classic -- Spaceballs is coming to cable TV as a cartoon. The guy network G4 will begin airing the animated series in 2007. Mel Brooks, who created the movie, will help write the first 13 episodes and reprise his voicing of two characters -- President Skroob and Yogurt.

If I am forced to find 5 great lines from the movie, here they are:
5. "It's not that we're afraid, far from it, it's just that we've got this thing about death... It's not us!"
4. "Say goodbye to your two best friends, and I don't mean your pals in the Winnebago."
3. Out of order? Even in the future, nothing works!"
2. "Oh great. That's all we needed. A Druish princess."
1. "So, Lord Helmet, at last we meet again for the first time for the last time."
