A joke about the seeming never-ending sequels
Middle Shelf
Then the top shelves appear to be multiple copies of several of Mel Brooks other films:
- The Producers (1967) two copies
- The Twelve Chairs (1970)
- Blazing Saddles (1974)
- Young Frankenstein (1974)
- Silent Movie (1976)
- High Anxiety (1977)
- History of the World: Part 1 (1981)
- To Be or Not To Be (1983)
- Spaceballs (1987)
Top Shelf
On the very top shelf are multiple copies of these same Mel Brooks titles. There appear to be three of each directly above the copy below it (except for History of the World: Part 1 which only has two copies on the top shelf).
NOTE: there are some other films shown in other shots with white and yellow labels but their titles are not legible.
Answer 3
Everything seen is easily legible and identifiable as multiple copies of the entire Mel Brooks collection of directed movies to date (Space Balls inclusive), and 14 fictional copies of the Rocky Balboa series and of the Friday the Thirteenth series.
