After a two-part pilot that summarized the original film, the series produced 13 total episodes, each one working the "Spaceballs" characters into a different movie parody, from "Jurassic Park" to "The Lord of the Rings" to, naturally, the "Star Wars" prequels. If you absolutely have to have more "Spaceballs" in your life, though, you could check out the short-lived "Spaceballs: The Animated Series," which aired on the G4 network (and Super Channel in Canada) in 20. The only word for that is "intimacy." How could they have developed such a close bond in such a short period of time? Is there any explanation besides "tragically doomed whirlwind romance?" Probably, but we're not interested. And yet, not only have Pizza and Vinnie obviously rehearsed this call ahead of time, but Pizza allows Vinnie to literally start eating him before they hang up. Clearly he's Pizza's underling, but it doesn't seem like he's been working for Pizza very long Lone Starr and Barf know Vinnie, but they don't know he's calling on Pizza's behalf, and they are emphatically shocked when Vinnie announces Pizza's presence. Beyond the fact that De Luca absolutely nails his best piece of dialogue - "Or else Pizza is gonna send out for you!" - the most interesting thing about him is the mysterious nature of his relationship with Pizza the Hutt. He's played by Rudy De Luca, who co-wrote four of Brooks' films and had bit parts in seven. Vinnie appears to be a robotic mafioso, complete with hat, gloves, and mob enforcer accent.
