43 years later, and it's still one of the funniest movies of all time. When my friends and I saw it in the theater back in 1980, we were laughing so hard at the jive-talking scenes that we were afraid we were going to get thrown out.
Funny movie. What is really good is that all the actors played it straight and no smirks. They must have had a few crackups trying to say those gag lines with a straight face. This film is pure entertainment.
@@AntiAtheismIsUnstoppable Please, I could name 20 non-offensive jokes funny in this movie. Offensive and funny don't go hand in hand. It's more of a forced marriage that seems normal to some but outrageously unhealthy to others.
"Shana they bought their tickets they knew what they were getting into I say let them crash." That one and "...get a note to the milkman no more cheese." 😂😂😂
The funniest parts of this movie was seeing otherwise serious actors like Peter Graves,Lloyd Bridges, Leslie Nielsen and Robert Stack play their parts with so much humor.
When this movie was being made, I was working at a company called MacKenzie Laboratories in Arcadia, California. They made tape-loop message repeaters used at airports, including LAX in Los Angeles. The producers of “Airplane!” contacted MacKenzie’s CEO, Addison Taylor (nicknamed “Doc”), to find out who had recorded the voices on the LAX repeated message that said: “The white zone is for loading and unloading of passengers only. No parking!” It was repeated over and over by two voices, male and female. It happened that Doc (who had been a radio announcer) and his wife Pat had made those recordings-so they ended up being hired to tape the off-color comic dialog between the two voices in the movie. Little did they know at the time that they had played a small, uncredited part in what would become an iconic comic film.
i was 16 when it came out. first movie i ever saw by myself. One of the funniest ever. ive seen many times since. they were so creative. the chemistry of the directing and acting was outstanding.
One of the funniest movies ever made, i never get tired of watching it, same with top secret, police squad and the naked gun franchise, these movies are still slaying audiences decades after they were made...zaz at their best ♠️

Starts with a slight fever, dryness of the throat. Then the virus starts itching, a rash. Then the victim becomes dizzy. Then the virus penetrates the central nervous system causing severe muscle spasms. Followed by the inevitable drooling. At this point the entire digestive system collapses. By now, the poor bastard becomes a wasted piece of jelly. (Sorry if I missed anything I did this based off of memory)
When I think that Peter Graves refused the role at first, saying he couldn’t do comedy and that they should get a comic actor instead…he was perfect here, mimicking all the symptoms!
"Hey... knock a self a pro, Slick! That gray matter backlot perform us DOWN, I take TCB-in', man!" Don't be so naive, Arthur. Each of us faces a clear moral choice.
i was probably 10 yrs old the first time i watched this and in the scene where the the black guy is speaking in slang, i had to read the subtitles to understand him. just a funny memory i have.
The captain making those remarks about nude men to a kid and the passenger talking jive. Two jokes that unfortunately would not be included if the movie were made today, I think.
Although young black men today talk and dress very differently from these young black men 40 years ago. Today, they're all gangsta, hip hop, and walk and talk very differently than these guys in the video 40 years ago.
Notice that Johnny, at around 6:28, looks at the newspaper and says, “There’s a sale at Penny’s”. Since he is reading the bottom part of the front page with fold down, the writing from his vantage point would be upside down.
I love the jive talking when the black guy says "shit" and it gets translated as "Golly!" lmao!! And Mrs Cleaver as the jive translator. They couldn't have found a more white person for the role! Lol!! I also love the part where Peter Graves asks the little boy if he has ever seen a grown man naked! Lol. No way they would allow that line to be in a movie made today. Hilarious movie.
Great memories of watching the Airplane films and Naked Gun, the Americans know how to make you laugh and these films certainly achieve that and will do for many years.
“Sir, maybe we should turn he searchlights on now.”
“No no, that’s just what they’d expect us to do.”
I quote that second line quite often. People over 40 usually get the reference, those younger do not.
"it's a big building with patients" 🤣🤣🤣
It's a big building where generals meet, but that's not important right now.
Hospital? What is it?
You can’t take a guess for another two hours? 😂😂 Leslie Neilson had the best delivery.
Cracks me up 😂
one of the most sarcastic one liners ever. haha@@therobust
@@elgoogs1and delivered completely straight.
That was brilliant 😂😂😂😂
Dr: What was it we had for dinner tonight?
Elaine: We had a choice, steak or fish.
Dr: Yes, i remember. I had lasagna.
My favourite line. It’s hilarious. 😂😂😂
Fkn facts lmao

The BEST stupid jokes movie of all time! Every actor was working against character and made it hilarious.
I was 10 years old!! I was cracking up!!! LOL
😂😂
I love when the kid says to Kareem my dad says you only hustle in the playoffs. Kareem gets pissed .

I'm sure they had some crackups. Those outtakes are archived on the shelf of some warehouse.
Big difference from today when they’re playing for laughs.
"Do you want me to check on the whether Clarence?" "No, why don't you take care of it."
"We have clearance Clarence,
Roger Roger what's a vector victor"...
That should be "weather".
This is a master piece. 20 or 30 years later is still super funny. How many movies can say the same?
I hate to break it to you but it was actually 40 years ago. 😱

Don't call me Shirley.
jon122569 I like to think he really was calling him Shirley. It makes the scene even funnier to me.
They gave Peter Graves the best lines ever. And he delivered in such a comedic/serious way.
Prior to this film coming out, I though that turning Peter Graves into a comedic actor would be mission impossible!!
You ever seen a grown man naked? 😅😂😂
They would never get away with that today.
Or the old lady stopping the N-bomb....
was just thinking about that line today
You ask kids that often?????
The level of creativity they had in the scenes and dialogues were above and beyond today's standard comedy....
Now they let special effects guy handle it all!
What makes this movie comical these actors are serious people who are being down right funny !!!!
Exactly. No one had ever seen Lloyd Bridges or Robert Stack (or Leslie Nielsen) do anything but dramas.
"Get a note to the milk man, no more cheese!" That's line kill, me every time. Lloyd Bridges crushes every scene he's in.
I must have missed that one. And I've sent this movie many times
Unfortunately he picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.
You can't take a guess for another 2 hours!!! When I caught that joke...OMG!!! And Leslie with the straight face made it soo much better.
What mean
@@panchito1384 Watch the video.
If I’m not mistaken, this was Neilson’s first comic roll. He had been a serious actor for years. Airplane is a classic.
Yes I think so.....LOL
It was, and a legendary comedy career was born.
It is.
Role.
Nobody did deadpan better than nielsen. I could watch the "are you a doctor" scene a million times in a row -- "yes. yes of course"
Steven Stucker had the best lines in the movie. “I can make a hat a brooch a pterodactyl” 😂😂
The typing prior to the line and after its delivery helped the scene
Johnny was the best
Supposedly, he ad-libbed his lined.
RIP Johnny. His character was iciing on the cake.
“Nervous?”
“Yes.”
“First time?”
“No. I’ve been nervous lots of time.”
Lol
Movies will never be this funny again.
No joke is ever forced in this movie. Probably the funniest movie i ever watched 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It offended each and every victim group. Today the leftists would throw them in prison for it
@@AntiAtheismIsUnstoppable Please, I could name 20 non-offensive jokes funny in this movie.
Offensive and funny don't go hand in hand.
It's more of a forced marriage that seems normal to some but outrageously unhealthy to others.
Yes they will, and stop calling me Shirley
Nope.
"Shana they bought their tickets they knew what they were getting into I say let them crash."
That one and "...get a note to the milkman no more cheese." 😂😂😂
The jive scene kills me every single time.
so funny. she was such a conservative mother on the Leave it to Beaver show.
My momma didn’t raise no dummy I dug her rap.😅😅
So many things would never pass today. Man I’m so glad I was able to see this. I still watch this for laughs. Amazing!

You can tell me, I'm a doctor.
Surely you can't be serious?

A hospital? What is it?
It's a big building with patients but that's not important right now
Would you like a little whiskey mam?
Certainly NOT!!! 👃❄
🤣🤣
Johnny - “Well that’s the Russian new year, we’ll have a big parade and serve hot Hors d'oeuvres” Baaahaaaaa absolutely hilarious line!!!!
The inflating of the auto pilot is the single funniest clip I’ve ever seen in a movie. I actually fell out the the theater seat from laughing so hard.
The funniest movie ever. Every scene is funny.
That movie just makes me laugh so hard 😂

And don’t call me surely
Julie Haggerty was under appreciated.
Leslie Nielsen at 7:04 LMFAO

What's so funny is that they keep a straight face.
and "Leave it to Beaver" mom June Cleaver appears to understand and speak Jive.

“You want me to get an abortion!” That whole bit was hilarious.
There is just never a good time to quit smoking, drinking, amphetamines, or sniffing glue.
Surely, you can't be serious.... Yes I am and don't call me Surely...🤣🤣🤣
I was dissappointed when my high school didnt offer Jive as a foreign language.
i was 16 when it came out. first movie i ever saw by myself. One of the funniest ever. ive seen many times since. they were so creative. the chemistry of the directing and acting was outstanding.
I saw this in the 90s as a teenager since my dad loved the movie, and I still quote it to this day!
“Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit (fill in the blank)”
