Another one is they cast Kareem Abdul Jubar to make fun of other films where they cast sports stars that can't act... so they amplified the effect by having him read large cue cards held off camera so you can seek him look back and forth. But it gets better because he's personally offended at disparaging comments to his sports performance... and then when carried out of the cockpit he's wearing his Jersey and shorts. But I also love the "so Billy, do you like gladiator films?"

And with this movie having become such a classic, younger viewers often don't realize that until Airplane! happened, they (Peter Graves too) WERE almost exclusively serious actors -- the prime examples of square-jawed humorless action heroes. Leslie Nielsen especially: this movie literally reinvented his career, as previously nobody had imagined he could be this funny. Afterward, he became stuck in a new stereotype, as someone audiences expected to be hilarious.

What I love about Airplane! is that rather than use comic actors, they hired straight actors and the jokes hit so much harder because they're not delivered in a goofy way but instead everyone is completely straight and deadpan. Also, there are so many jokes in the background that even after seeing it a million times, there seems to be something I missed.

Fun fact - the black guys created the jive language on their own and incorporated it into their audition which won them the part. Barbara Billingsley (lady who spoke to them) was invited to make a cameo for that scene as she was a popular actress who portrayed the stereotypical 1950's American housewife & mom in the sitcom, Leave it to Beaver (1957). Not only did they have to teach her the language but she enjoyed doing it!

For those too young to remember such things, the white woman speaking "jive" to the black passengers was Barbara Billingsley, who played the Mom, June Cleaver on the TV show Leave it to Beaver in the 1950's and 60's. The guy waiting in the taxi at the airport was Howard Jarvis, a very influential tax reformer when this movie came out. It's funnier with him because he would *NEVER* have put up with being charged for no service. Robert Stack is doing a parody of the part he played in the 1954 movie, The High and the Mighty. Airplane is an almost scene for scene remake of the 1957 film Zero Hour! There is a great video that does a side by side comparison of the two films, found here, kzbin.info/www/bejne/bl7ZY3V-g6eJedU

Before they were banned in the early 2000s, our LAX was ridden with these various, weird cult members constantly harrassing passengers for donations to their bullshit religions. After long, utterly exhausting jet-lagged flights I told these airport religious soliciters 2 words, and those 2 words WEREN'T "happy birthday." After so many millions of passenger complaints, LAX finally banned panhandling on airport property completely, because these religious fanatics were such lying, scamming pieces of bowel-hemmorhaged shit, constantly harrassing passengers, there was no reason for these money-begging THINGS to infest LAX and make life miserable for passengers passing through it. I used to get so furious at these LAX religious money-beggars jumping in my face to badger me for spare change, I used to tell them - shall we say - to violently perform two illegal actions on themselves, one resulting directly from the other.

The first time I saw this, loooong ago, I recoghized him right away but had no idea of why he would be in the movie.

The great joy of watching this reaction - for those of us who know the movie TOO well - is watching Matthew, knowing the joke is coming and trying to keep a poker face, his face straining harder and harder through the setup so he won't spoil the payoff. SO many jokes and references are probably lost to folks who didn't grow up with all the references they lampoon.... from Tasters Choice coffee commercials, to all the 1970s disaster movie tropes, to - as that lady said "that Ronald Reagan film" (Knute Rockne - All American), and seeing all those stoic 1950s & 60s leading men ....Bridges (Sea Hunt), Stack (The Untouchables),, Graves (Mission: Impossible) and of course the king of deadpen - Neilsen. AND "June Cleaver" speaking 'jive'..... It was the first time any of them had broken their screen stereotypes. I had to see this multiple times because people in the theater laughed so hard at one joke, they drowned out the next three. This movie raised the bar so high, I think it deserves to be in a category of its own. It can't be surpassed - but maybe it can be equaled if someone rounds up the current generation of serious leading men & convinces them to lampoon their screen image, throwing in a few hundred TikTok meme references, film & videogame tropes & other current cultural jabs that would match what the Airplane! folks did to the decades of pop culture that led up to their film.

I just read that Lloyd Bridges got pissed off after the success of this film, because young people walked up to him and asked him to sniff glue. LMAO!

[@Gravydog316]

then he sniffed glue & was happy (for some reason?)

This movie was the start of Leslie Nielsen's comedic career. It has been his best wotk. Which is interesting due to the fact that for years he was know as a serious dramatic actor. ✌❤🌹

That's why he was able to deliver his lines with a straight face.

Love your profile picture. Could you image these 2 doing Eraserhead? I don't know if they would make it all the way through. Lol it's a surreal nightmare, in the best possible way. Love that movie but it is definitely not for everybody. Cheers.

Put 'Johnny Dangerously' on the list. Same type of humor, seriously underrated but freaking hilarious. Plus you'd be one of the first to do it.

Love All the humour and i'm a brit! Over here this film is well loved.. this is comedy that happily crosses the pond. In the uk the dryer the humour is, the better!! We LOVE it. Anyone notice that in spite of it being a large passenger jet, all the way through the film, it is making the sound of a ww2 bomber airplane... 4 propellers i think ? !!!

[@swanvictor887]

superb film. My favourite line: "He's a danger to everything in the air - yes, birds too!"

[@SpencerMDay]

Just got done watching this reaction, for a second time. Don’t know which is funnier, Emily laughing or Matthew trying not to laugh. 😆😂🤣 The joke I love the most, Barbara”Mrs. Cleaver” Billingsley talking jive. 🤣🤣😂😂😆😆

[@fredziffle6843]

Oh the contrast between both roles

[@Josh_Tsu1067]

i wish i could watch Airplane for the first time because the first time i watched i died laughing every couple of years i watch it and still laugh hard but nothing beats the first time

[@wotgM316]

"nothing beats the first time" Just like sex.

@@wotgM316 lol the woman i was with asked me nervous? first time? i answered : no i was nervous many times

[@daviddixon9991]

I wish we could bottle Emily's joy watching this film and sell it on the black market.

[@KneelB4Bacon]

I love how every time they cut to an outside shot of the airplane, you can hear propellers. But it's a jet airplane.

[@Gravydog316]

i never noticed or heard that until like a week ago!

[@MichelKulmann]

My God, when Matthew started giggling as soon as the boy approached with the coffee I couldn't stop laughing. That's the best scene ever. Your reaction made the movie even funnier.

[@NebulousSquirrel]

I don't know if any other movie has so many jokes per minute all the way through as Airplane! Absolute classic, and nice reaction.

[@StanSwan]

John stole every scene he was in. They just let him adlib and he killed it. He passed away of AIDS at 33. Was a tragic loss as he was offered so many roles he was unable to take. He left us with some of the best laughs in a movie full of them. RIP John.

The Leon's getting larger scene is still one of my favorite lines, even still today.

The line that always sticks in my head is “and Leon’s getting larger!” I loved all of His lines but that one is stuck in my head for absolutely no reason.
