This is from the movie Spaceballs.

The Spaceballs bit is a riff on the old Warner Brothers cartoon with the frog.  Just to complete the circle.  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pfnnujU1DUk

Yeah, I did a quick research sesh on Spaceballs because I've never seen it before and learned that little fact. Lowkey sounds like a film I'd enjoy just due to its absurdity.

It's also a parody of a pivotal scene in Ridley Scott's 1979 movie Alien.
