Time Pirate When direct dialing first came out, 555-1212 was designated as directory assistance for every area code, because few, if any, existing word-based exchanges (such as "BUtterfield 8") translated to the numbers 55, since 5 on US dials had the letters JKL, and few words or names in English begin with JJ, JK, JL, KJ, KK, KL, LJ, LK, or LL. So there were most likely few numbers in exchanges like LLama, LLoyd, or LLewellen. Maybe the place you grew up was one of those few. Later, when the AT&T monopoly in interstate long distance was broken up (in 1984), 555-4141 was set up to verify your default long distance carrier. And the entire 555-xxxx range in every area code was set aside for phone company internal and technical lines, which was many more than needed, so the rest became available for fictional numbers (since there's always some idiot who would try to call Ghostbusters in real life).
Time Pirate same, my home telephone number also starts with 555. I think in the EU it has something to do with the region you live in, because the phone numbers of many of my friends who live near me also start with 555.
In _Lost,_ Oceanic appears to be pretty much the only airline other than the fictional Ajira Air. There is a scene where Jack purchased plane tickets for his honeymoon, and he shows his wife the Oceanic tickets.
The greatest marketing champaign would be if someone where to start an Airline called Oceanic Airlines as they would have commercials through so many movies/series/comics.
Benjamin Tomassen Nordahl But they would also be indelibly associated with disasters! Might as well have as an advertising slogan, "We don't ALWAYS crash." Oceanic would be as bad a name for a real airline as Sal Monella's Diner.
yeah, but that's why it would be a good idea the slogan could be "We crash in movies so that we don't need to crash in real life." or something like that
This made me look up the flight in Final Destination to see if they used the same airline. They didn't. That was Volée Flight 180... which just mean Flight Flight and now I'm sad I actually looked that up.
"Greatest ad campaign of all time." I beg to differ; I would definitely not fly Oceanic. Their planes seem to crash an unusually large amount of the time.
A quick search on google dictionary returned this: - a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often wryly amusing as a result. plural noun: ironies "the irony is that I thought he could help me" synonyms: paradox, paradoxical nature, incongruity, incongruousness, peculiarity "the irony of the situation hit her" Notice the quote, in which "irony" is used to express a form of backward sarcasm, or the unlikelihood of an outcome. In this sense, the original poster found ironic and maybe even hilarious that, the day he started watching the series, the peculiar event of one of his subscriptions pulling out a Lost themed video happened, as the event itself is coincidental and unlikely. In short, most unlikely and coincidental events can be ironic to a degree, for their own exceptional nature of paradox (paradox meaning what's beyond or contrary to common sense, and by extent what is unexpected to happen)
Whenever the Mythbusters show did an airline related experiment, they used the name Mythbustair. And for boat related tests they named the boat Mythtanic (with a Roman numeral).
Heres an idea. The last thing is about oceanic flight #1701 by a time traveling man. 1701 are the enterprises numbers from star trek. Now what if the time traveler was from the enterprise? There's has been cases of certain members traveling back to the 60s era on the show. so that would be a cool connection. Just a thought
Something I never thought I would've wanted to know but now know it anyway, I'll be on the lookout for Oceanic airlines from now on if anything even mentions a plane.
Someone should startup a real Oceanic Airlines and charge absolute rock bottom prices. If a crash occurs, they can say to the victims/families "Thoughts and prayers, but they CHOSE Oceanic Airlines."
Couldn’t you just take any footage of any plan flying and CGI it beyond recognition of the original airline....That way you could create any airline brand you wanted and still protect the real airline companies name.
Al T To be honest I have never seen an answer to this. In the original series, the USS was said to stand for United Starfleet Ship, or United Star Ship, but the umbrella Union was the United Federation of Planets. My personal guess is that the show was aimed at the American TV audience, most of whom would unconsciously assume that the UFP was an expanded USA empire, so that a ship with the prefix USS would feel more like “our” ship. But I’ve never seen any published statements about that question in any Star Trek canonical publication. I do know that Roddenberry had quite “Lennonist” views on the need for a planetary government, but he came from a US Navy background, so it may have been an unconscious choice.
I grew up with a home phone number starting with 555. So when I saw this in movies, I assumed it was normal.

Oceanic airlines...
We crash at least 2 times a week...
Good one mate lol
Oceanic airlines
Perfect Safety Record
(All legal documentation saying crashes every 2 weeks has been destroyed.)
How is oceanic airlines not shut down yet
If oceanic airlines was real it would not fly anymore
Imagine Ocienanic Airlines was a real airline.
Still rather fly with them than United Airlines
Well, Guess who is next to their main hub??? me.
I wonder if Oceanic ever has a normal flight. If they don't, I can't imagine what their safety rating is..
Blasty BBS 3/10... for not breaking apart on take off

Holy shit, finally I'm not seeing one of your videos 2 years late.
+ilpazzo12 awesome
wait could this be true

+Skander Helali thanks!
It really is YOU GUY ARE THE MOST MORE BETTEREST BESTER!!!! (Grammar much)
Skander Helali I love moth (the creator of minecraf)
Now I almost want to actually open an airline called Oceanic Airlines and get a kickstart off all the publicity.
I had a great idea for an airline and now I know what to call it! Wait, dammit, it's COVID and airlines are all going to hell in a hand basket.
This made me look up the flight in Final Destination to see if they used the same airline. They didn't. That was Volée Flight 180... which just mean Flight Flight and now I'm sad I actually looked that up.
+EnigmaHarper haha a great name
if you ever find yourself looking out at your plane and it is oceanic walk the other way buddy
Now, every time I draw a scene of an airplane I’m careful to hint that the airplane belongs to oceanic
"Greatest ad campaign of all time." I beg to differ; I would definitely not fly Oceanic. Their planes seem to crash an unusually large amount of the time.
The fictional Nickelodeon brand Pear: PearBook Air, PearPhone, PearPad.
4:44 it was in CHUCK!!!
how'd I miss this?
I've rewatched Chuck a billion trillion thousand times!
OMG! I just started rewatching lost! The irony

New vid hype, love your content...cant wait for you to get 1m subs....whats taking so long -_-
+Airshot good question!
jerking off to porn distracts too much :D

Holy crap, people are finally discovering this channel! Keep up the top notch work Dylan, I think it's about to pay off for you!
+TheMistyBlueLounge it's very exciting :)
1:40 "The show wasn't planned out enough." That's an understatement...
Heres an idea. The last thing is about oceanic flight #1701 by a time traveling man. 1701 are the enterprises numbers from star trek. Now what if the time traveler was from the enterprise? There's has been cases of certain members traveling back to the 60s era on the show. so that would be a cool connection. Just a thought
So I'm not the only one who thinks that every movie that have a plane crash scene always use "Oceanic Airlines"
Something I never thought I would've wanted to know but now know it anyway, I'll be on the lookout for Oceanic airlines from now on if anything even mentions a plane.
Just discovered your channel today, it's so professional, rythme, script, images. Well done sure, definitely subscribing.
Your research is amazing. Great job dude
555 numbers are actually reserved for the specific use of film and entertainment
Amazing video! So well made! I'm glad I subscribed to your channel.
I thought he had 1mil subs... HE DESERVES MORE VIEWS AND SUBSCRIBERS!!! Your quality is top notch m8
Nice to see that you are back!
+Nico S. Thanks Nico
Please do a video about professional sports leagues (Baseball, Football, etc) during World War 2.
I got a Honeywell Aviation ad before this
Lifeboat airlines: Am I a joke to you?
Top notch is indeed the term and this was the best of yours I’ve seen yet.
Great research!
Not sure if I saw any clips from Die Hard.......
Oceanic Airlines > United Airlines
I rather die in a plane crash than getting beaten off a plane and the airline taking my money.
love your videos so much, keep it up!
Pan Oceanic 1701 - no doubt built at the Utopia Planitia shipyards. 8)
Oh shit, Chuck and White Collar had Oceanic in them? :P
What is the song in the compilation
What! Not back to the future!
wouldn't say rough as its mostly insensitive although true...sadly it's true
I just realized that you don't have as many subs, views out comments as I expected, you need more :(
Geez, everyone's realizing this at the same time
Love the channel. Keep em coming!
does this mean all of these shows/games/comics take place in the same universe
Someone should startup a real Oceanic Airlines and charge absolute rock bottom prices. If a crash occurs, they can say to the victims/families "Thoughts and prayers, but they CHOSE Oceanic Airlines."
keep it up maybe one day it will boom and become a big channel.
just saying
3:03 747 with its flaps and slats out in cruise
Oceanic must be quite the popular and successful airline in whatever strange continuity all these films and TV series exist in. XD
If a plane crashes, I'm not as concerned about the airline as the plane model
Talk about... some weird geography stuff..? Natural phenomena of the earth perhaps?
are all these guys electronic engineers? using 555 wherever
4:45 check it's old Chuck
Huh... Idk where you've been but you got a new sub lmao
I think there is a conspiracy as all Oceanic flights seem to crash. Must be an insurance job.
Hold on. Transformers cybertron? That's awesome!
What's that one movie with the bomb isn't there oceanic there
4:49 ayyy
amazing content!! we cant wait till u blow up dude
E esta foi a investigação das aparições das linhas aéreas Oceanic
When you look out and see an airline called Oceanic
You : 0_0 Ah shit here we go again
Holy sheeeet I didn't know oceanic was in dead island
Wait the X-Files episode had 1701 in it, that’s a double reference.
I Found Oceanic in a Rabbids Comic Book
I have seen all of these shows and not once did I think about the airline.
It all comes full circle!!!
1:22 David Dao
how about the time the American army tried to stop a war by getting the enemy super high
This was in one word --- AMAZING!! 10 OUT OF 10!
Top notch! Oceanic is famous ;D
The boy from flipper looks like Zach effron
Couldn’t you just take any footage of any plan flying and CGI it beyond recognition of the original airline....That way you could create any airline brand you wanted and still protect the real airline companies name.
what game is that at 5:04
Dead island
For a minute I thought it was a real airline because I don't watch movies much.
as a pilot, i reckon that the plane at 3:12 is a 747-200. lol
Probably the most recurring meme and troll in history...
I thought it was 48 survivors not 70 something
Made famous by lost for those who weren’t around before 2000
What do you mean time traveling island If that's a spoiler to lost in gonna be pissed I haven't finished it yet
huh, this is pretty interesting
Dude, dim the lights a little... its easier on the eyes. Also, looking upwards makes it akward to some of us views... 😥
Oceanic airlines has the worst track rate with plane crashes
Flight 1701? Where have I heard that number before? XD
KuraIthys NCC-1701 Starship Enterprise.
@@allanrichardson1468 question: why are Federation starships given the designation USS? "UFS" would make more sense.

Oceanic is also seen in Don Shigeru's 'Waifu' hentai manga: i.imgur.com/qxgdBJW.jpg
Hm
Is that Timmy Thick?
silverballer21 lol albino Timmy I think

Wonder what the pay is like...this company always has their damn planes crash.

MY LIFE IS A LIE
THIS DUDE IS HIGH AF!
I love you... please post more...
