I just want to wish you both good luck, we're all counting on you.
😂🤣
Curtis - I want to wish you luck, we’re all counting on you.
“We should just divert them into Lake Michigan, at least it’ll save innocent lives!”
Counting on them?! Surely you can’t be serious?!
@@Jpew2007 I am serious. And don't call me Shirley.
My grandfather was an airforce test pilot. The story goes that when this movie first came out they went to see it in the theater. He laughed every time they cut to a picture of the plane flying from the outside and he was the only one in the theater who laughed. It's because it's a jet and it's making a propeller noise lol.
Yep, I was going to mention that! Very subtle humor there, for the aviation enthusiasts... 👍
I saw it at the theatre as well and while I’m not a pilot, It was the same story for me.
Yes, I laughed at that too! My father was in the submarine busters in the Navy, and I have been around aircraft most of my life. That flight is a commercial airline and hearing the sounds of a propeller prop plane! 🤣🤣🤣
It's very subtle humor that 99% of people won't get unless they've FLOWN ON, or BEEN AROUND a multi-engine prop aircraft. Let's face it, there aren't that many of them around outside the military (I was Aust. Navy and flew of a P3 a few times). Apparently the sound was recorded from either a C-130 Hercules or a P3 Orion (Not sure which), as they were the only readily accesible 4 engine turboprop aircraft around.
It took me till the fifth rewatch before I noticed it.
When this film came out , my mom was pregnant with me and laughed so hard that she broke her water in the theater at the part where Randy the stewardess plays the guitar for the little girl .
THATS AWESOME!!!
So… you were literally born to this movie?
"Sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me" had me howling when I first saw it. The singing nun doing Aretha Franklin was comedy gold.
What a great story!!!
Lorna Patterson deserved an Oscar for that role :D
Airplane came out in 1980 the year I i became a flight attendant. Needless to say it was an instant hit within our community. Pilots were constantly quoting it
Peanuts? No thanks I have one right here. Its bulky but I consider it carry on😅😅😅
Roger, over.
The jive talk scene's biggest joke was having Barbara Billingsley be the one who spoke it. Her most well known role was being June Cleaver, the mom on Leave It to Beaver, who was essentially an idealized version of the typical housewife. So, having her be the only person around that could help translate was hilarious.
That was june cleaver? Holy crap that scene is instantly 1000% more funny now
She said in an interview that she received more fan mail over the jive scene than she did for any of her other roles!
“Weren’t you a little hard on The Beaver last night?”😂
@@klaesashford1966 I think that is one of the funniest things I ever read! Thanks!
It was hilarious! My grandparents watched "Leave it ti Beaver". Therefore, my dad and his brothers and sister watched it, and we kids grew up watching it. I'm sure if my sisters or I had kids and grandchildren, they would've grown up watching it, too.
Leslie Nielson's first attempt at comedy. He had spent 10 years acting in B-Movies. Now everyone only remembers him from this, Police Squad, and the Naked Gun series. His quotes "and don't call me Shirley," and "let's move on people, nothing to see here," are now a well-known part of moviedom lexicon! RIP to one of the best "straight-faced" funny people to ever grace screendom!
Leslie Nielsen first major move was captain on the space ship in forbidden planets. He even was a murder victim on Colombo
He was a very talented man.
@@robertusa1234 Nobody called him Shirley on Forbidden Planet. Not even the monster from the Id.
yeah it is crazy how he tried to be a serious actor before but he was made for comedy
@@jimmybobsap8729 He had such a tremendous sense of humor, yet as an actor he said his biggest skill was not acting, but reacting (or not reacting). He's also notorious for bringing remote controlled fart machines on interviews, and has "let 'er rip" on his tombstone. 😂
"I take my coffee black. Like my men." I use this line all the time
Yeah.. I hear you. But just a warning - it is not going to work as such in the modern corporate environment. No. It is not. Not at all... ;)
Robert Stack was the host of Unsolved Mysteries in the 90s. Leslie Nielson was an incredible actor: drama in series like Murder She Wrote and Columbo, comedies like this one and the Police Squad / Naked Gun franchise.
Robert Stack also played Elliot Ness in the original "Untouchables" TV series.
This was the first comedy Leslie Nielsen was ever in. He had a whole new career in comedy because of this movie
Not to mention Peter Graves, the star of TV’s Mission: Impossible as Captain Over, and Lloyd Bridges of the 50s series Sea Hunt and various dramatic movies. The Zuckers wanted guys not known for comedy because they’d be funnier playing their absurd roles straight.
@@freethinker1913 Basically, Harold Ramis did the same thing when he cast Di Niro in Analyze This
But the irony is that William Shatner IS in the sequel to this film! How weird is that?
The boy did not know that Kareem was going to react angrily to the "you don't try on defense" line, the fear is genuine. The directir insisted on getting a real reaction from the boy. Kareem apologized profusely as soon as the scene cut.
Thanks for the comment.
Great story.
Hahaha
And at the time, Kareem’s critics said exactly what the kids dad said about his defense.
" tell your pops to put down beer can and try running up and down court beating the likes of big Laimbeer 7 foot tall of elbows in your face almost every night.
According to Winning Time, the miniseries about the Lakers, when the scene ended, the kid asked Kareem for an autograph and Kareem told him to f**k off.
"Well, we had a choice of steak or fish"
"Yes, yes, I remember, I had the lasagna"
Such an underrated line
I can’t eat lasagna since seeing this movie without laughing!
Leslie Neilson and Lloyd Bridges crack me up without even doing anything 😂😂😂
I have seen "Airplane" at least 200 times and it's funny every single time. Funniest movie of all time 😂
Sheeeeeeeiiit “Golly”
Only 200? 😂
It's an almost shot for shot remake of the 1957 film "Zero Hour!"
@@clbdycI have seem this movie Aproxxximatrly 3,688 times....😮
@@SaintSlartibartfast which is a remake of "Flight into Danger" Who gives a shit the entire script was rewritten lmfao
Can’t stop laughing with you guys during this movie. Funny note if you watch to the end of the credits they cut back to the guy in the cab saying “Well I’ll give him another 20 minutes, but that’s it” lol
And they had some jokes in the credits too.
I love the fact that every time the jet is shown flying it's making a propeller driven airplane sound
Funny enough, at slower speeds those engines really do have a lot of propeller-like noise
When it's taking off in the railway parody it's making steam train sounds as the woman runs alongside it and the man hangs out the door.
The original script was intended to feature a prop plane but the producers wanted a more modern setting to fit in with the "Airport" movie series that was big at the time.
Seenms they could put that change to use for another gag.
And how he's shifting gears like he's driving a semi truck
It's my favorite gag of the movie. And it's true few catch it.
"Unsolved Mysteries". That was the show you saw him on. The woman who spoke "Jive" was Barbara Billingsley. She was known as the mother on the 1950s show, "Leave it to Beaver". She was known by the entire nation as the typical Family Mom and when she did this part, it was a big hit because it was completely not in her character.
He was on the untouchables before airplane and unsolved mysteries
Robert Stack. 👍
*Robert Stack "This is a true story, from the files of Unsolved Mysteries."*
Yes Robert Stack on Unsolved Mysteries, definitely not William Shatner.
@@3DJapan Strangely enough William Shatner IS in the sequel.
the whole MAyo Clinic bit is one of my favorite bits. "Hamm on 5, hold the Mayo." LUL
This was a fun reaction to watch. Yes, back then, people would approach you in the airport asking for money. They would give you a poppy flower, or a brochure, and ask for donations. I believe they were Krisha's typically, but mostly a hippie/commune type of people. Basically, airport panhandling! It's been long since banned.
I also remember the smoking on planes. I was really young but the arm rests had ash trays and even after they banned it, the planes were still in service. You could also tell because the ceilings were stained with yellow. I remember thunking that’s in y=your lungs if you smoke.
I remember them as moonies.
@@IamGenoBlack Yep. That's even more insane than fighting off Hare Krishnas and Moonies in the lounge. I can hardly believe that as a (stupid) young man I remember leaving my 'non-smoking' seat to go to an unoccupied seat near the back and sit next to a smoking stranger long enough to smoke a cigarette. You'd crush / stub it out in that little seat-arm ashtray and head back to your seat, stinking of smoke and leaving a little smouldering fire back in row 56... Madness!
@@SamDeeksRelovedGuitars Remember smoking rooms in corporate offices too? LOL!
Agreed great reaction love their laughter specially the ladies 😂
Longtime character actor James Hong (suicidal Japanese soldier), age 93, became the oldest person to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on May 10, 2022, honored for a career in which he has appeared in 469 television shows, 149 feature films, 32 short films and 22 video games. And he's still putting out new product as of this writing!
He's also one of a small number of actors who can make saying "Indeed" a quotable line
@@Powerranger-le4up He wasn't Oogway, but he was in Kung Fu Panda as Mister Ping, Po's adopted father
@@carlossaraiva8213 and big trouble in little China
A girl with green eyes quote is ingrained in my memory
He was great in Everything Everywhere All At Once.
Was also in Disney’s Mulan (the animated one).
I took a date to see the movie The Shining in 1980. It was playing at a local twin theater. Airplane was playing next door, and we thought it was a serious disaster movie. The Shining was sold out, so we had to go see Airplane. Imagine our surprise when we were expecting a serious disaster flick. I've never laughed so hard in a movie in all my life. It was great reliving it with the two of you!
How did the date work out?
Pretty solid date movie.
We had the best era of entertainment didn’t we….
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
In a way, it kinda is a serious disaster movie. Airplane! is almost a shot-for-shot remake of an old movie called Zero Hour! from a few decades prior, with basically the plot you see here but played straight. One of the subtler jokes in Airplane! is the constant droning of propeller engines, when the plane we see is clearly a jet. But the older movie had an older plane with the older engines, so they kept the sound. Quite the range of jokes in this piece!
To answer your questions...here you go. I was young in the 70's but yes, not only could you smoke on a plane, but the arm rests had ash trays.
And yes, the Hari-Chrishnas would hut you up walking through the terminal. Of course back then you could go all the way to the gate without a boarding pass. Flying was a very different experience in the 70's and 80's
That’s Barbara Billingsley (June Cleaver) and having her be the one to translate “Jive” is very very funny.
I love how Ted's drinking problem is not that he drinks alcohol but that he literally can't drink liquids.
Have you ever tried drinking with your tongue in your cheek..?
@@MacDaddyRico it must be hard.
@@MacDaddyRico No. Have you ever been to a Turkish prison?
He doesn't have a drinking problem, he has a problem drinking.
I hope someone eventually explained the joke to Asia.
About a year ago I had to go to the hospital an the nurse asked me what was wrong. I said I had a problem with my bowels and she asked "What is it?"
I said, "It's a long tube in your body where your food goes, but that's not important right now."
This look of delight slowly came over her face and she grinned, then started laughing.
She said, "I can't believe that just happened."
She said her BF loved that movie and she couldn't wait to get home and tell him what I said.
Plot twist: Her name was Shirley …
I'm a veterinarian and I once had a dog I needed to refer to the vet school. I told my assistant "I've got to get this dog to the vet school." He said "the vet school? What is it?" I said "it's a big building where they teach people to be vets, but that's not important right now". I waited for the laughter and was SO disappointed when I found he had never seen the movie and the reference meant nothing to him. 😢
Youth is wasted on the young.
Eric,what comedic timing !!! LOL.Making someone laugh is unigue and making someone's day is awesome !!! GREAT story,I laughed so hard !! THANKS.,
@@deeanna8448 Still GOOD story,tho.LOL.
Bro the expression on your face is priceless and your wife’s laughter is infectious. Imagine growing up in this era the comedy was dope.
This movie and the Blues Brothers were out at the same time. I took my wife to see both of these movies. My wife was from West Africa and she had just moved to the States. She was floored by these movies and just couldn't stop laughing.
Your reaction to Elaine's line, "I used to sit on your face and wriggle," is one of the single greatest reactions I've seen on UA-cam.
I've watched the film a dozen times and didn't catch that.
The passenger in the taxi cab was Howard Jarvis. He’s not an actor but had authored a major property tax reduction bill (proposition 13) in California in the 70s. He had a reputation for being stingy so Stryker starting the taxi meter while he ran into the airport was the gag.
The gag also goes on through the credits with him making an appearance at the end. Further, sprinkled throughout the credits are little jokes. ALWAYS read the credits of a Zucker-Abraham-Zucker production.
I have always found it funny that no one ever seems to catch the fact that they are in a jet airliner but the sound you hear is the hum of propeller engines. One of the best movies ever.
Subtle humor is awesome. Like how in the dance scene, they had an air force pilot wearing navy whites. There are layers upon layers. You can watch this movie 50x and still notice new stuff. Or otherwise learn something that you never noticed, and it then feels like a new movie again!
The LA airport was notorious for having Hari Krishnas soliciting
nothing funnier in a movie than June Cleaver "speaking jive"
"Got no brain anyhow!"
That part always cracks me up.
"Just hang loose, blood!"
I loved the part when the Jive guy said, “Dat honk muhfuh No be messin mah ole la’y mon” and the subtitles read “That white gentleman should stay away from my wife.” What’s even funnier is that I was a 7-year-old honk muhfuh when I first saw it and assumed Jive was a real foreign language so I didn’t get the joke at the time - which somehow made it all the more hilarious when I finally got it, lol.
When I saw this movie in a theater in LA, the whole packed theater audience, who grew up watching Leave It To Beaver, lost it for a good min or so, when she stood up said she spoke jive, that I had to wait a 'few' years later for the vhs to come out so I could hear what was said after. lol and for the younger kids out there, the term 'You Jive Turkey" was a saying for a few years in the 1970s
"Picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines"😆🤣😂
I liked the part when the radio dj said "Disco lives forever" right before the plane crashed into the antenna. This movie has so many funny moments in it.
His “drinking problem” was not alcohol but getting the drink to his mouth 😂
That is one of my favorite running gag with this movie.
They’re missing so many jokes lol.
@@ajclements4627 IKR? 😂
@@ajclements4627 They actually did a lot better than a lot of reactors I've seen. They constantly ask why something is happening, they just can't wrap their minds around this type of humor.
@@blkluv100 I know, it’s like “just let the movie happen, don’t ask why” 😁
You can watch this movie 50+ times and it still gets funnier! More viewings is advised since there are SO many jokes you miss on the first many times you watch it.
My neighbor was a chief pilot for United Airlines when this came out. He was furious about this "insult to his serious industry". A week or so later I see he and his wife and another couple getting out of the car laughing hysterically. They just saw the movie! They were laughing for weeks!
The mechanic working under the hood of the plane? Jimmie Walker, himself.
Asia not getting some of the jokes was so adorable.
The guy can't drink properly, so BJ says "he has a drinking problem" and Asia says: "but he can't even drink"... exactly Asia :) lol
Exactly!
She made that mistake that a lot of people make with this kind of movie, expecting anything to make a lick of sense at any point. At times she was moving her head around like a collie dog trying to figure out why the statue wouldn’t throw the ball, too darned cute.
The big secret is to just take these kinds of movies as the surreal parade of silly parodies that they in fact are, some might even say that’s a Top Secret. ;)
Well, I’m subbing…
What people might not get is that scene after scene in this movie is taken from real movies, Airport, From Here to Eternity, and many more classic movies.
Also what they don’t realize is almost all the leading actors in this movie were leading dramatic actors in this era and before, ie Rex Kramer, the doctor, the top air traffic control boss, etc., and they were not comedy actors until this movie.
@@prism8289 It also uses the plot from the movie Zero Hour.
I love how when Leslie Nielsen is pulling eggs out the ladies mouth the joke is that they intentionally and blatantly do it as an obvious slight of hand magic trick instead of just using movie magic\editing to make it look like he's actually pulling multiple eggs out her mouth.
Practical effects... lol
@@didamnesia3575I’ll take practical effects over CGI any day.
This movie was a spoof of serious trauma movies like "Airport 75 and 77"
I was 11 when this came out and it's one of my favorite comedy shows.
I also remember The Concorde - Airport '79. Yup...all those '70s disaster movies were huge hits upon their initial releases in theaters.📽
They're known as "Disaster Movies" and, though the examples you give definitely influenced this movie, the 1957 film, "Zero Hour!" was, by far, the biggest.
In fact, entire sequences and lines of dialogue were lifted directly from it.
The director wanted the actors not to laugh after every joke. He wanted the movie to be taken seriously and let the audience figure out the joke. The actors said that it was so hard to keep a straight face bc it was so funny .
I can imagine working with Leslie Nielsen it's damn near impossible. Damn american treasure. RIP. (I meant that on a continental level)
@@timgil7830 the writers said he would bring small fart machines and play pranks on the cast. The director said also that Julie hagerty was the perfect cast. In fact , the whole idea for the punchlines of the jokes started from " MAD MAGAZINE " they said .
@Guitar Man that's news. To me but I 100% see mad magazine
@@timgil7830 it's to bad they no longer print MAD Magazine . I have a huge collection .
@Guitar Man I loved it as a kid, always walked down to the drug store with my 2 dollar allowance to get one. I had a huge collection as well. Wish I still had some
This is Leslie Neilson's first comedic role. He was a very serious actor before this. Then Naked Gun series solidified him as a comedic genius. And yes that is Robert Stack from "Unsolved Mysteries."
Also Elliot Ness from The Untouchables.
And don't forget Jonathan Banks aka Mike Ehrmantraut from Better Call Saul / Breaking Bad. He was the guy who said 'about two more minutes chief' with the Turkey in the microwave.
And 2 Columbo Episodes in the 70's
@@jasongray1646 oh, I missed that was Mike. That was even before his villain turn in Beverly Hills Cop.
@@alexyari6036 That's right! Only a few years later. Such a great actor
The thing that makes this movie such a piece of genius is that like Asia said, every time you watch it, you'll notice something you missed the previous times. 😂
Especially the wordplay. One of my favorite moments is "It's an entirely different kind of flying". I had seen the movie at least 7 times over a few decades before I caught that one. 😆
“Lets get some pictures, boys”!
I never caught the mayo jars in the mayo clinic before and I saw this in the theater.
I didn't notice until watching this reaction video (or I had forgotten) that one of the radar scopes in the control tower was a clothes dryer, and I've seen this movie countless times.
One of my favorite movies. It has parodies from years gone bye. There are references from "The High and the Mighty" to "From here to eternity" . This movie is so wonderfully subtle it never grows old.
Zero Hour.
I saw this theatrically when I was about 13, I never saw an entire theater packed with people who were falling out of their seats with laughter so much before or after. This movie started an entire genre.🤣
I remember too. It was a PARTY in that theater! And we’d tell more friends and come back again.
9 here. At the drive-in. Everyone was sitting outside on their car hoods laughing so hard.
Yeah those were the good ole days .You won’t see that happen again mainly because movies suck now .
@@baconwafers4928 Man,I miss drive-ins,those were the days.I remember seeing Robocop at the drive-in with my father.
Hot Shots Part Deux got a pretty good crowd reaction when I went. It was packed. Of course, Lloyd Bridges again.
Airplane is actually a parody of an old black and white 'B' movie from the 1950's called 'Zero Hour' . They took a serious drama film and turned it into a classic comedy and at times the dialog is almost word for word.
Thank you! Im glad im not the only one who knows this!!! The you tube side by side comparison video is the best ever!!!
What's Zero Hour about?
@@kagemushashien8394 The plot is very similar to 'Airplane' but it's a serious and very dull post war movie; after 'Airplane' though, it became a comedy to me. Watch the comparison video posted here.
@@kagemushashien8394 one could say it's basically the same movie, just turned into a comedy. They actually bought the rights to it when they made Airplane.
@@MarkTitus420 It's so similar, from my understanding, that they bought the rights to the original so there wouldn't be any legal issues if someone filed a lawsuit even though it is protected as a parrody.
There was a film franchise called "Airport"" Airport 2" and Airport '79" . the AIRPLANE movie is a spoof of that franchise.
But also a scene-for-scene spoof "Zero Hour!"
@@andrewcramer9200 "Zero Hour" was a drama but if you watch it after seeing "Airplane!", you will laugh your butt off.
There was another layer of fun in this movie, all the actors were well known and most of them were known for dramatic roles so it added to the fun to see them acting so foolishly.
As someone who has been alive long enough to remember, yes, there used to be a real problem with religious groups accosting people in airports. As I remember the Hari Krishnas were especially infamous for doing this. It's amazing how well this movie holds up despite how many of the jokes are references to pop culture that's mostly long forgotten now. I'd be willing to bet that at least half of the jokes went right over your heads, but there are so many jokes that even cut in half it's enough to seem nonstop. (Also, yes, people really did used to be able to smoke on planes.)
Here are a few examples of things you probably missed: The speech the doctor gave to Ted that got him to go back and land the plane was a parody of an old Ronald Regan movie. Regan played a Notre Dame football player named George Gipp in that movie, and got his nickname, the Gipper, from that role. That's why there was a college football fight song in the background. The bit with the woman wondering why her husband wanted a second cup of coffee but never did at home was directly from a well known coffee commercial at the time, and the actress was the same one in the commercial. The older woman who spoke Jive was played by the actress who had been June Cleaver, the mother in Leave it to Beaver. You did recognize Kareem, not many reactors do, but those of us old enough to remember that era of the NBA know that the criticism that the kid repeats from his father was exactly the sort of things his critics said about him when he was playing and we know exactly who he was talking about when he refers to Walton and Laimbeer. I guarantee you that line was exactly what he would have liked to say to his critics. There's a lot more, I'm sure there are many more examples in other comments.
Plays on a lot of movie tropes, the hysterical woman who gets a slap to make her come to her senses, the sick kid, etc. There was a spate of "Disaster Movies" in the 70's. The Towering Inferno, Airport, Poseidon adventure...
Lots of social nods, the Tupperware party, Radar Range was a type of oven, kissing on the beach while the waves washed over them was a scene in "From Here to Eternity", "Gladiator Movies" were 60's made "Sword and Sandal" movies which were Italian made movies kind of set in ancient Rome starring oiled up body builders.
I'm pretty sure the Turkish Prison reference was "Midnight Express"
Those Krishnas and Moonies were like a minefield in the terminal. You had to scope out the terrain and try and dodge them. They finally kicked them out when they gave a Senator's mother a heart attack trying to allude them. And traveling in a Military uniform was worse. They would flock all over you. Shitbags.
Even more context on the speech, the 1940 film Knute Rockne portrayed the supposed 1928 speech coach Rockne gave to his Notre Dame team at half time about the tragic death of the greatest player ever at Notre Dame George Gipp. The parts of the speech in Airplane are pretty close the Gipper speech with the exception of the name and the "it won't smell to good" line. I like to think that this gag was the entire reason for the backstory involving George Zipp. Also the fight song playing is of course the Notre Dame fight song.
They also missed the MAYO clinic and the subsequent "hold the mayo "
....and "they're on instruments "
Johnny is one of my favorite movie characters ever. “This? Why, I can make a hat, or a brooch, or a pterodactyl!”
Not sure why, I always loose it when the press guys " OK boys, lets take some pictures" , then proceed to steal all the pictures on the wall 🤣😂🤣😅
Mine too... He as some of the funniest lines in this movie... "There's a sale at Penny's" and "Where did you get that dress & and those shoes geesh?"
@@valleya6114 My personal theory is that Johnny's the only person there _who knows he's in a comedy._
Mine too!
He ad-libbed all his lines. He was given a script but they he was a known stand up comedian so they encouraged him to say whatever he wanted It works so well because everyone else is playing it straight.
The one thing you missed was after all the end credits, they show taxi driver still waiting saying "I'll give him just 5 more minutes".
If it wasn't mentioned already, the mechanic that went under the hood of the airplane was Jimmie "J.J." Walker. The two groundmen on the tarmac that had the plane crash into the terminal was Jerry & David Zucker cameoing in their own movie. Also, the woman who was trying to put her lipstick on was the Zuckers' mother.
the studio wanted comedians & the makers didn't because it wouldn't be funny
but they said ok to JJ
@@Gravydog316 He didn't have any lines, he wasn't in the forefront plus he was on screen for no more than 6 seconds so it's easy to not realize that it was him.
I love how Asia lost it on "sit on your face and wriggle." You guys had so much fun with this one.
Wiggle not wriggle 😁 A typical "typo" we've all done it. Cheers 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺
@@stuwhyte479 It's wriggling. The definition is "to twist and turn with quick writhing movements."

@@stuwhyte479 Bro you literally got proven wrong and now you resort to homophobia lmao. Absolute clown level shit.
I can never stop laughing at the couple arguing on the loudspeakers. They were a real married couple who did the real versions of those messages for LAX at the time. The strongest part of the movie is they got so many actors known for serious parts who were very good at being funny by acting like it was normal. The man running the airport went on to film at least 3 more movies with the guys who made this one.
LLoyd Bridges was the father of Beau and Jeff Bridges.
Jeff has been in so many classics, like The Big Lebowski.
I can't remember who was the female voice on the P.A. system, but the make voice was that of Tim Conway, a comedian often associated with comedians Carol Burnett & Harvey Korman (who played the villain in BLAZING SADDLES with the line "Too Jewish."
Watched this at the cinema when it came out 5 times in 2 weeks. The whole place was laughing every time.
Every time you watch this you pick up different things. I’m 65 and have seen this 40 times easily. If you have kids have them watch it. Love it.
Fun Fact: Airplane! is actually a scene-for-scene remake of a 1957 movie called "Zero Hour!". What blows the mind is that "Zero Hour!" is a serious drama. But somehow Airplane! clones it scene-for-scene and still manages to turn it into one of the funniest movies ever put to film.
I believe Paramount about the rights to that movie when making this one so they wouldn't have any legal issues.
Airplane is one of the only movies that is a direct parody and yet you can watch it decades later without knowing the source material. And it's just as funny. There's a lot of ripoff/parody stuff that gets released today that is not going to make any sense a decade from now, but the humor in airplane is timeless
Thanks for that insight.
I'm surprised "Airport" didn't get mentioned, either.
Thank you. I was wracking my brain trying to remember what this was based on. Looking at the trailer, some of the Airplane actors (Nielsen, Stack) were near-ringers for the original actors.
A lot of older actors, particularly Peter Graves, Lloyd Bridges, Robert Stack, and Leslie Nielsen, had been typecast in dramas, so this was a chance for them to cut loose. In fact, this movie actually revitalized all of their careers.
The older woman who spoke jive was Barbara Billingsley, who at that time was still considered the ultimate sitcom wife and mother.
The man who played Johnny (the odd air traffic control assistant) was Steven Stucker. He was one of the first public figures to announce that he had AIDS and was very active in reducing the stigma in the LGBTQIA community. That was a big deal to admit publicly back then, but it wasn't until Rock Hudson died that AIDS became an international news story.
Yes a comedy where every one played the straight man role.
Barbara Billingsley was the mother from Leave It To Beaver.
Peter Graves was from the TV show Mission Impossible.
Lloyd Bridges had a show called Sea Hunt.
Leslie Nielsen was from the Naked Gun movies.
Robert Stack was on the tv show The Untouchables.
@@kens32052Leslie Nielsen was from the classic sci-fi film Forbidden planet. The Naked Gun came after this.
Nobody caes.
@@largebiff1743 I know, but it helps to have context for those who do care.
The automatic pilot scene, you guys were laughing so hard, I peed in my pants. So funny😹
It is crazy how much different things are at the airports since 2001 and how a whole generation has no idea how open and easy going it used to be.
That is Robert Stack. He was, in fact, the Rescue 911 guy. He was also the host of Unsolved Mysteries.
He was ABSOLUTELY the G.O.A.T. of what he did.
Robert Stack initially became famous from his TV role portraying ATF special agent Eliot Ness on "The Untouchables."
William Shatner did Rescue 911, Robert Stack did Unsolved Mysteries
@@rickstanley972 Oh, you’re right. That was Shatner that did Rescue 911. Wow, I completely forgot that.
The two Jive Talkers, they actually wrote the Jive parts, they were both classically trained actors and they considered it a challenge to take what was really just a few words scattered here and there and turn it into a full language. The old lady who translated for them was Barbara Billingsly from Leave It To Beaver
And you might recognize the radar operator, his name is Johnathan Banks, better known to younger viewers as Mike Ermantraut in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul
I found out today that Johnathan Banks was also in Gremlins.
@@WolfHreda johnathan banks was in Beverly HIlls cop as a henchman too
@@PopePlatinumBeats And Buckaroo Banzai!
OMG! Had to go back and watch to see Mike. Had no idea.
I remember Jonathon Banks from Wiseguy with Ken Wahl. Great show but I heard Ken got greedy and he was replaced by Steven Bauer -- who turns out was on Breaking Bad with Jonathon Banks as well.
13:52 is the reason I watch this channel religiously. That's the funniest reaction I've ever seen.😂
Leslie Nielsen was the GOAT of dry pan humor 😅
🌹❤️RIP❤️🌹

Asia is right. Before 9/11 airports were fairly open and non-passengers could go all the way to the gate. It was fairly common up until even the late 90s where you would have people soliciting all kinds of things at airports. I remember having people pass the "I'm blind, please donate..." papers to you. In the 70s and 80s you would have Hare Krishnas (a religious sect) passing out books and literature.
Gone are the days when you could walk up to the counter and buy a ticket CASH. And fly w/o the government knowing what you're doing. Flying used to be kind of a treat, now it's an ordeal.
Oh you don't know the half of it, I worked airport security pre-9/11, and if you knew the state of airport security back then you'd wonder how the hell 9/11 didn't happen sooner
@@FerretJohn the days when people used to board planes with suitcases full of weed!
For the Doctor (Leslie Neilson), this was his first Comedy Movie . He Went on to Star in "The Naked Gun" Movies. They follow the same slapstick Humor as "Airplane!".
Asia's Reaction to Elaine's "Sit on my Face" Comment was EPIC!
And if you like the “Naked Gun” movies, you should check the TV series POLICE SQUAD, which inspired the Naked Gun films. Classic if you like this over-the-top type comedy.
@@Knick_Fury There's a modern TV series that follows this kind of humor: Angie Tribeca
Mr Neilsen is the deadpan comedic goat.
Love watching you guys. Seeing you discover the great stuff we old folks had growing up.
Leslie Nielson is the old guy you recognize. He was in all the Naked Gun movies for years.
In fact this was the start of his comedy career. Love you guys.
You recognized Robert Stack from his series “Unsolved Mysteries” and his huge amount of voice over work he did. My generation remembers him from the series “The Untouchables”.
This movie probably has more jokes per minute than any other. Most of them are very funny in their own right, but quite a few are even funnier due to cultural references that would be familiar to a 1980 audience. You might miss some of the subtleties of a number of jokes. For instance, when the woman thinks "Jim never has a second cup at home" that comes from a coffee commercial that I believe featured the same woman.
This movie is a spoof of a deadly serious movie with the same basic plot, called "Zero Hour." It's based on a book by Arthur Hailey, who also wrote "Airport" which became the grand daddy of all disaster movies. "Zero Hour" is a good movie in its own right, unfortunately it's impossible to watch with a straight face after seeing "Airplane!" OK, gotta go, I see there's a sale at Penney's.
I forgot about 'Zero Hour'...I've seen it, but only once...after 'Airplane', and it is hard to watch it without thinking of this movie
"Zero Hour!" was released in 1957, so its storyline about a former WW2 pilot makes sense. "Airplane!" was released 35 years after the war ended. It being a comedic remake of "Zero Hour!" explains how Ted, age 30-35, can be a WW2 vet, and why disco was being played at a bar during the war.
@@radbarij and the label on the magazine rack 'Whacking Material'.
Was the first sick passangers with the eggs coming out of her mouth a reference to something? I've seen this movie at least 50 times, but that's one gag I never understood.
@@deeanna8448 I believe that referred to a magic trick that was popular at the time. It was such a common feature of so many magician's acts it was probably overused and thus ripe for parody. Somebody can correct me if I got it wrong.
The actress who played the woman translating for the jive dudes was Barbara Billingsley. She is best known for playing the mother on a 1960’s sitcom called “Leave it to Beaver”. It’s about a kid who is nicknamed “Beaver” and his stereotypically white suburban family. Hearing her speaking “jive” is hilarious!
Actual Line from the show "Ward tonight when you come home you're going to have to punish the Beaver!" .... I'm 70 I heard it!
50s
In an interview I saw with Barbara Billingsley, she said the actors she was speaking jive with helped her come up with the dialogue. Agreed - that is hilarious.
Airplane was a parody of the several "Airport" movies of the 1970s. The guy who "picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue," etc. was Lloyd Bridges - wonderful actor and father to Jeff and Beau Bridges.
I remember in 1990, when I was in 8th grade, our English teacher was tough-in every sense. Lots of homework, didn't take any BS, etc. But one day she showed us this movie for some reason. No joke, I had a new level of respect for her from then on. Can you imagine if a teacher showed that movie in class nowadays? Work hard, play hard... that's what I learned.
The way they got serious actors to do such silly scenes and lines so straight just makes it perfect.
Shatner is in the sequel by the way.
It completely changed Leslie Nielsen's career! After this he pretty much never took a serious role again.
Except for the one guy who isn't playing it straight, in any sense.
@@bhaughbb4239 Are you talking about the crazy ground control worker? The actor who played him was named Stephen Stucker. Have you seen the movie "Trading Places"? He was in that movie as the loading director on the train. He's the one who asked the two baggage handlers "Say, have you two been drinking?" I
@J.Woodbury No, I was referring to the guy in the tower who is cracking jokes and, well, not straight.
@@bhaughbb4239 Yes.. that's the one I meant.
This is the California 73 yr old gramma who loves your reaction to movies and music.....I had forgotten how stupidly funny this movie was and got even funnier watching the two of you, the laughter and the looks on your faces of WTHeck...was worth it....thank you both.... Asia, your laughter is infectious...
Thanks maddie48!!!
Leslie Neilson was known for years as a dramatic actor. This movie is what jump started his comedy career, as well as a working relationship with the Zucker brothers, which lead to his iconic character of Lt. Frank Drebin in the Police Squad films.
“Boy Trapped in Refrigerator Eats Own Foot” is one of the most random and hilarious headlines and the person whose picture they used didn’t know what it was being used for at the time.
One of the best bits is one of Striker’s wingmen in the hospital recovering, believing he’s Ethel Merman and it actually is Ethel Merman.
Also, if you watched through the end credits, the taxi passenger is still waiting for Striker!
That taxi passenger was Howard Jarvis who at the time was instrumental for Proposition 13, the most influential tax bill in the history of California at the time, so his role was rather humorous as well.
The older woman speaking "Jive" was the woman who played the Mom on "Leave it to Beaver" on t.v. Everyone in my generation knew her. She cleaned house in her pearls.
For most of these funny actors, this was their first comedic role. They were formerly in very dramatic roles
Love this movie as well as sequel. Shatner is actually in Airplane 2. Hilarious in it. A lot of more serious actors made comedy gold in both of these, such as Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, and, of course, the late great Leslie Nielson. Definitely watch the 2nd one and catch The Naked Gun trilogy.
I think I’d watched this 4-5 times before I realized they used propellor sound effects for a jet airplane. There are so many gags it takes repeated watching to appreciate them all.
The hysterical lady getting slapped non-stop will always be one of the most iconic hilarious scenes from the film
I loved that moment when she calmed down and Leslie Nielsen still slapped her again for good measure.
Calm down. Get a hold of yourself.
They reprised that part in "Airplane II: The Sequel". Only this time she's in a courtroom testifying on the witness stand.
That or the "don't call me Shirley", or the repeated "it's a building with patients, but that's not important right now" jokes.
The guys who did Airplane did a movie called Top Secret which was a mashup of genres like WWII, surfer movies and spy movies. Very funny and hilarious music.
I know a little German....
Great Movie!
We could all use some more silliness from time to time.
The Zuckers, I think.
What are you drinking? " Gasoline!"
Funny as hell watching these two watch Airplane!. . . thanks for the laughs and reminder how funny the movie is.
😭😂😭In the 80's, between AirPlane and Police Academy 1, the laffs just kept coming! You just couldn't stop, you couldn't help it!🤣😭😂
The Naked Gun is another hilarious movie with Leslie Nielsen 👍🤣
"literal humor" 😉 and yes, the airport would be packed with people harassing you for money for one religious cause or another. Love you two 💞
One of the best comedies! It’s a spoof from a few airport drama movies from the 70’s. A ton of inside jokes from that time!
You know It's a good movie when you miss half the jokes, but you are still laughing and having a good time!
Great Movie. If you like this kind of comedy you should definitely check out The Naked Gun, it is every bit as hilarious.
Top Secret , is a good one aswell
@@QatunQ YES! I love that movie!
@@QatunQ 💯 this. Top Secret was also directed by ZAZ, and continues the parody genre.
(P.S., Airplane 2 sucked. Wasn't directed by ZAZ, and all the jokes were recycled mainly.)
Same guys from this movie
Naked Guns are great. O.J. is hilarious lol
This movie never gets old.
Im surprised there are people who don't know about airplane. Y'all are missing out. Leslie Nielsen's golden era. R.I.P. Leslie.
(my aunt owns the house Leslie lived in until he was 4, here in Saskatchewan)
When the autopilot was getting blown back up I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard in my life watching you two laugh. 😂 I laughed so hard I cried.
Three things:
1) Although Bill Shatner wasn't in this movie, he _was_ in the sequel "Airplane II".
2) The actor you were thinking was Shatner (Robert Stack) was the host of "Unsolved Mysteries" (whereas the Shat hosted "Rescue 911").
3) "Airplane" was a parody of other disaster movies, especially 1957's "Zero Hour". Many scenes from that movie were recreated in this one.
Airplane! is a classic. We need more movies like it.
Sadly, I don't think this type of movie could be made today. "Those who get offended at stuff and can't take jokes" would go "REEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!", and Hollywood would kowtow to them.
Some years back I had a friend who was a pilot for JetBlue. It's for this exact reason they feed the pilots and the navigator something different from what the passengers have.
I can't wait to see some more of your reactions, especially the older ones. Subscribed.
Hey, Thanks Elizabeth! We appreciate your sub ❤️❤️
They should have fed the pilot something different from what the co-pilot had. What were they thinking?
You can watch this movie five more times and you will see sight-gags, jokes, and innuendos you never noticed before.
One of the funniest movies ever!
You can watch this movie a couple of times a year. It doesn't get old, and you'll catch new visual puns every time. For instance, I never noticed until this viewing that one of the reporters' microphones was an ice cream cone (28:31).
I don't know how many times I watched this before I noticed all the jars of mayonnaise at the Mayo Clinic.
@@hedgehog1965uk I know, even though some of the jars in the background are industrial size 😆 And then, while still talking with the Mayo Clinic, the captain gets a call from Mr. Hamm and tells the operator to "give me Hamm and hold the Mayo"--genius!
When the plane crashes through the window at the beginning. One passenger can be seen throwing her baby in the air.
I've seen this movie at least 10, maybe 15 times, and this is the first time I noticed the guy doing his laundry in the background in one of the scenes at the air traffic control tower (they pointed it out in this video).
@@makeadifference4all On line 5, so it's "Ham on rye, hold the mayo."
When this came out the majority were "serious" actors who had never appeared in comedy's before. The writers/producers wanted actors who would deliver their lines as if they were in a drama. It worked. Leslie Neilson started a whole new career thanks to this. BTW, the women who gets repeatedly slapped, in a earlier bit mentions her husband never asks for a second cup of coffoe at home, actually had done a series of commercials with that line. One of the few comedians in the movie, Jimmie Walker, who checks under the hood, was the star of "Good Times" a popular TV comedy. Peter Graves (Mission Impossible) was reluctant to play the pilot as he was afraid people would think he was a pedo - but he was talked into it by his wife.
Correction: The guy checking under the hood was Jack Baker, not Jimmy Walker. I met him several times in Hollywood while he was still alive. He was a cool dude.
@@martymar1964 Odd that you corrected me about something I wasn't wrong about. Especially about something it would have taken less then 10 seconds to check. Try googling "was jimmie walker in airplane". The first item listed is: "Jimmie Walker as Windshield Wiper Man - Airplane! (1980)". The fourth item is a video of Walker doing the scene.
The only Jack Baker (actor and deceased) I can find, actually did appear in "Good Times", in 1975, as "cousin Cleatus". Among his many (132) credits (listed at IMDb - Internet Movie Database) there is no mention of his appearing in "Airplane".
I had no idea that was Jimmie Walker. I wish they would have given him a line or two.
@@ETube1971 Jimmie had a bigger role in Airport '79: The Concorde.
@@martymar1964 Not according to IMDB.
the joke that almost nobody got is that the sound is from a plane with blades, not a jet
that cracked me up from the start of the movie
The dad jokes in this were legendary. It was totally fearless of the writers to have such corny humor and it totally worked. This was a huge success. They had a couple other hits, but most of their stuff missed unfortunately. The BEST movies like this to check out are Top Secret (with Val Kilmer), Charlie Sheen's Hot Shots and Hot Shots Pt Deux. Freaking hysterical with some of the same actors. Also The Naked Gun (with OJ). Leslie Neilson (the doctor) was a huge star back then as a serious actor and then he started appearing in these silly comedies and he was just gold! Unbelievable comic timing.
They kept trying to make comedies like this but the humor is usually crap. This movie stands out as the best of the genre.
They are dad jokes because of this movie.
Leslie Nielsen was from The Naked Gun and was the most “slap stick” comedy as you say and while the jokes seem simple, they so were not. Some jokes were very complex and you would think it wouldn’t be this timeless. Btw, Mayo Clinic is a real place where they would have the heart, the mayonnaise was a play on that and yes you could smoke on planes through most the 80s. Listen to the parking attendant start breaking out the box and argue about the whether she should get an abortion.
“Blazing Saddles” which you guys did was the Grandfather of Slapstick comedy.
The reaction to "Sit on your face and wriggle" CRACKED ME UP OMG 😂
Asia is my favorite person to watch a comedy with! Her laugh is contagious.
Thanks so much!!!
This was one of your best videos so far. Love how you edited the film and your reactions. That is not easy.
Airplane is comedy gold. A really funny, silly movie that everyone can enjoy.
I literally go into rooms at work at random times and say “I just want you tell you both, good luck, we’re all counting on you.”
