The Spaceballs Scene That Aged Poorly

Following Lone Starr and Barf's departure from Princess Vespa's planet Druidia, they go to a diner called Gus's Galaxy Grill. The heroes sit at the counter and are greeted by a waitress (Dey Young). She asks if they would be interested in the "space soup or the space special." While Lone Starr decides on the soup, Barf leers at her. The mawg then unleashes a Freudian slip and says he wants to have "cleavage" for his meal, instead of the "special." The waitress does not seem to mind the slip-up and goes off to attend to other customers, who are seated behind Lone Starr and Barf. While she crouches down to take the table's order, the mawg wags his tail in rhythm to the music playing from the jukebox. In doing so, his tail repeatedly grazes the back of the waitress's upper thighs. She eventually tells him to "watch where [he is] sticking that thing." Barf does not apologize and asserts that it was not his intention to touch her inappropriately.

"Look, its got a mind of its own, sweetheart," says the alien with a laugh before letting out a howl. Lone Starr slaps his companion's arm in annoyance once the waitress leaves.

The scene is rather jarring as Barf had been presented as a loveable sidekick up until that point. The audience has to grapple with the fact that this goofy character does not have any remorse for making a woman uncomfortable at her workplace.
