When you have to explain a joke it really takes away the impact and natural reaction of any laughter. It's true for me whenever someone disects a joke, it's no longer funny. Either I get it on delivery or I don't. Nearly all these jokes are 1970s cultural based and go over everyone's head if they didn't grow up in the 70s.

Trivia: For the argument between announcers concerning the white and red zones at the airport, the producers hired the same voice artists who had made the real-world announcements at Los Angeles International Airport. At the real airport, the white zone is for loading and unloading of passengers only, and there's no stopping in the red zone (except for transit buses). They were also married to each other in real life. ~IMDB

The planes also had small "vents" overhead that you could turn on the small fans inside & they would help suck up the smoke. (so it didn't fill the cabin, nor intrude "much" on the fellow passengers) It IS fun watching the ever increasing looks of disbelief, about these things that used to be completely normal, by the younger generations as time goes on.

The two airport employees who caused the jet to crash into the terminal were brothers Jerry and David Zucker, two of the directors. It seems as though, judging by multiple reactions I've seen to this movie, it doesn't translate well into the current atmosphere. I'm not sure what it is, but I suspect it's tied to this obsession with not hurting anyone's feelings.

A modern equivalent of this kind of movies would be "Don't Look Up". That movie has at least over 3 layers of messages going at you all at once from start to finish, along with multiple meanings going at the same time each time, even the pr0ngraphy innuendos. Probably more, but that's how much i can process at the moment. However, watching this movie now vs watching it when i was a child is completely different worlds. As I child/teenager I only understood things at the surface and many of the "comic situations" and puns made no sense. Now, however, knowing what kind of ritual abuses happen in the "backstage" of the industry (I mean the hidden rituals they have to go through to be in the industry, including the exploitation, the torture, the humiliation in private clubs, the initiations, etc, etc, etc) watching these movies again, I can see beyond the surface and many of the previous scenes and jokes and details I could not understand before, now are perfectly clear with all the sexual innuendo, all the abuse innuendo, all the violence innuendo, etc. Knowing the ritual abuses that Hollywood kids go through and having these jokes here is like the ultimate insult to the suffering they go through. It actually becomes a very strange experience where I laugh and am horrified at the same time at the mockery and humiliation they do to those that are abused. Nowadays the "abused" have a voice and visibility like they never had before. The problem is that "voice and visibility" is very purposefully being turned against them - promoting the "status of victim" instead of the "status of self-responsibility". Even comedies such as these, hint for the very dark stuff that happens in the background.

So many old references that you're just too young to get, but you still got a lot of them. The whole "George Zip" thing... This was 1980... Ronald Reagan was running for election as President... Ronald Reagan, when young, had been in a movie about a famous Notre Dame University (American) football coach, Knute Rockne, "Knute Rockne, All-American". In the movie, Reagan played George Gipp, who died. When Rockne needed to inspire his players, he told them that before Gipp died, he... well he basically gave the speech the doctor recited. "Win just one more for the Gipper"... which is why one of President Reagan's nicknames was "the Gipper". The music playing at the end of the scene where the doctor talks about Zip, is the Notre Dame fight song. The "Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home" is spoofing a popular coffee commercial of the time. The lady who spoke Jive... was Barbara Billingsley, who play the mother, Mrs Cleaver on "Leave it to Beaver", a wholesome family show in the 50s/60s. The joke was that here was this straight-laced suburban motherly type, able to understand and speak inner-city ghetto talk. Including foul language. (side note: there's a joke about her character, Mrs Cleaver, chastising her husband Ward for being harsh to their son, who's the title character. I actually caught the episode where she delivered the line, "Ward, you were a little hard on the Beaver last night"...) And that _was_ famous basketball player Kareem Abdul Jabbar as Roger Murdoc.

Lloyd Bridges, Robert Stack, and Peter Graves also were well known dramatic actors before they were cast in this film. The two airport workers who crashed the plane into the terminal at the beginning of the movie were played by Jerry and David Zucker, two of the writers and directors of the movie. The makeup lady was played by their mother, Charlotte. Some other great 80s comedies worth checking out are Ghostbusters, The Princess Bride, The Blues Brothers, This is Spinal Tap, Ferris Beuller’s Day Off, and Crocodile Dundee. If you like the random, silly comedy of this movie, you should try the Monty Python movies of the 70s. I’d start with Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I just discovered your channel, so you might have already done some of these movies.

liala the speech that leslie neelson gave striker was from a halftime speech by college football knute rockne who coached at the univeristy of notre dame in the late 1920's about 1 of the schools greatest player george gip and he went by the nick name the gipper and the speech was called " win 1 for the gipper"

Facts: This movie marked the comedic debuts of Leslie Nielsen (The Doctor) who would have a whole new career doing spoof comedy, Lloyd Bridges (McCrosky), who appeared in other spoof comedies such as Hot Shots, Hot Shots Part Deux and Mafia, Peter Graves (Clarence Over) and Robert Stack (Rex Kramer). Irony: One of the movies spoofed was Saturday Night Fever. While he was doing Airplane, actor Robert Hays (Ted Striker) was also doing a short lived sitcom called Angie and his co-star on the show Donna Pescow (who played Angie on the show) was in Saturday Night Fever. Also they made a sequel called Airplane 2 The Sequel which I hope you get to check out.

“They” are other people that didn’t make this.

@@tempsitch5632 OK I should word it better and say there is a sequel. I do still think she should check it out just to see William Shatner steal the show.

"No thank you, I take it black. Like my men." Favorite line from ANY comedy movie! LMAOOOO

More comedies, Liala. It's a nice "palate cleanser" from the serious stuff. Cheers.

3:00 "Would you put _all_ your metal objects into this dish, please?" Now what's _funnier_ about this particular shot? The fact that the metal objects he's placing in the dish include _limbs,_ or the fact that _she's_ reacting like it's just another _day?_

Smoking or non smoking explained: Back when this movie came out it was legal to smoke in some areas of a plane, but you had to specify if you wanted to sit in the smoking part of the plane.

[@ruserious9577]

That's exactly why the pilot and co-pilot are not allowed to eat the same meal and sometimes they're not allowed to eat foods from the same kitchen.

[@eirikrdberg1161]

They smoked on planes when I was growing up. In the 90s it was over. There was a no smoking and fasten Seat belt sign above Seat that went on and off.

[@blacktronlego]

6:05 Back in the '80s you could smoke in a plane. 11:49 The boy is right, it really is Kareem Abdul Jabar. You may have noticed how tall he was when he entered the cockpit. 19:23 You can see the actor is just playing with the dog. They added growls and barks later, I'm sure.

The hitman from Breaking Bad calling out "He's at 1300 feet, 900 feet, now he's back to 1300. What an asshole!" is great.

I saw this in the movie theatre when I was 8. Yes. Movies were so much better between 1960-1985. All the films I Watch are from then with a few exceptions.

[@dan_hitchman007]

I was eight when this came out as well. My dad was mortified, but I loved it!

[@davidtstravels8939]

A lot of people don't understand this movie's humor. It is meant to be very literal, dry and slapstick.

[@dan_hitchman007]

I just wanted to say, Liala... good luck, we're all counting on you!

[@dan_hitchman007]

I'm not as much of a fan because it recycles too many of the same jokes.

[@jerrykessler2478]

The comedy in this movie is relentless...

[@CaptainFrost32]

Never give up, never surrender! Sorry, wrong movie.

[@SighKronmiller]

Before 1980 many planes, trains and buses allowed you to smoke. They usually had ashtrays in the armrests.

[@mattslupek7988]

This slapstick-filled spoof flick had an all-star cast of dramatic actors, including Leslie Nielsen (the doctor), who also starred in the Naked Gun movies and Spy Hard, Robert Stack (Rex Kramer), who was famous for his role as Elliot Ness of The Untouchables, Peter Graves(the pilot) starred on Mission: Impossible, and Lloyd Bridges (Steve McCrosky) was in Sea Hunt. That was in fact Lakes legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the co-pilot’s seat, btw. William Shatner has a role in Airplane II: The Sequel.

[@Cheepchipsable]

9:13, they are Girl scouts fighting, equivalent to the Girl Guides. 14:30 Ronald Reagan was a former actor who was running for, (and won), the Presidency at the time this film was released. It's interesting how many older people and more or less average looking people were in this film.

[@blacktronlego]

This is the first of a whole genre of ZAZ parody movies. The police movie based 'Naked Gun' series are probably the most famous. There is also 'Top Secret' a spy/war/Elvis movie parody.

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

this film is an almost word-for-word remake of a 1957 film titled "zero hour." accept "zero hour" was a serious drama. the writers of "airplane," who alsdo directed, actually bought the rights to "zero hour" so they couldn't be sued for making a parody of it. leslie nielson, the doctor, peter graves, the pilot, robert stack, capt kramer and lloyd bridges, the dude who picked the wrong time to quit all his bad habits, were all well known 60s dramatic tv and b-movie actors. the joke was having them play straight in an absurdist comedy.

[@MrJools70]

Love this film and everytime I watch it I catch a joke I missed 😂

[@68pointbreak]

Wow. Brings back great memories seeing this as a kid

For more of the hilarious Lloyd Bridges (Wrong day to stop sniffing glue), check out Hot Shots - a parody of Top Gun.

[@Caseytify]

One of his sons is Jeff Bridges. His movies include Tron, Starman, The Fisher King, and The Big Lebowski. He's been active for quite some time.

[@thrummer1953]

Yes, Smoking was an everyday thing on Planes, not that long ago. Typically the Smoking seats were in the back of the plane where the Cabin air was exhausted.
