Dark Helmet is a character performed by Rick Moranis in the movie Spaceballs by Mel Brooks. Just as the movie as a whole is largely a parody of Star Wars, Helmet is an obvious takeoff on the character Darth Vader, the immediate villain of that trilogy.
Dark Helmet looks more or less like Darth Vader, except much shorter and his helmet is many times larger. When his mask his down, Dark Helmet's breathing is overly audible and he speaks in a deep baritone voice (Vader was voiced by James Earl Jones), but when he lifts his mask he speaks in Rick Moranis' intentionally incredulous, shrill tone. He also wears glasses.
In the movie Helmet is the commander of the armed forces of the Spaceballs, and captains its enormous flagship Spaceball One.
