"I want to know what was going on with that floating old lady" was quite possibly the most unexpected thing I have ever heard.

[@88wildcat]

You know, floating with a harp and wings.

[@crappiefisher1331]

i guess the mystery of the floating old lady will forever remain unsolved

[@callmeshaggy5166]

Same thing with the floating old man in Shawshank

[@doughbafett]

She was just hanging around.

"Why was there so much mayonnaise at the MAYO clinic?" I love it 😂

Not sure if you already know, but there are jokes in and after the credits 😅

[@Pragabond]

Lol yeah I just said oh you sweet sweet summer child to myself at that bit. Its a lil endearing though

[@bigdream_dreambig]

"Why was there so much mayonnaise in there?" Because it was the Mayo Clinic, of course! (That's a real-life medical center, but "Mayo" was the name of its founding brothers -- not a condiment.)

[@dunhill1]

Or it was just a play on the word "Mayo". You are correct. We have one right here in Jacksonville, FL.

[@Sub2GigaChad]

Thats a completely different kind of mayo altogether.​@dunhill1

Just don't call her Shirley.

[@mrtveye6682]

I love that they made a movie with a joke every 20 seconds, and than added Johnny as a comedic relief. Genius.

[@benjauron5873]

You'll notice that Johnny is the only character who actually says intentionally funny things. Every other character, it's just sight gags and comic timing. That's the pure genius of this movie. Hilarious without any actual jokes (except for Johnny).

[@adamkhan7736]

Floating lady!!😂🤣😂🤣. Really nice/funny reaction. Oh, the movie was funny too.

[@Lewis9700]

Yes, the line "And don't call me Shirley" came from this movie. A sign of a great film is when people are still using it's quotes over 40 years later.

[@fast_richard]

I had heard the "don't call me Shirley" joke when I was a teenager at least a decade before this movie came out. I'm guessing it probably dates to before I was born. It might come from Burlesque or Vaudeville.

[@jameswilson7790]

​@@fast_richardIt could have been from Abbott and Costello.

[@chrisb9577]

This type of humor is called slapstick. Similar to Blazing Saddles and Naked Gun....... As for the "floating old lady", she was just "hanging" around.

[@dansiegel995]

One thing no reactor has ever noticed, that the JET airplane has propellor sounds, the entire movie.

[@liljoe31]

The scene w the lovers saying goodbye as if it was a train is one of the most underrated hilarious parts of the film where he throws his watch to her youre gonna need this and he says "it's alright! It doesn't work" gets me every time. Funniest movie ever

[@asterix7842]

Your reactions are so adorable, so fun to watch. Peter Graves, Robert Stack, and Lloyd Bridges (father of Beau and Jeff Bridges) all had long successful careers as dramatic actors before agreeing to do this film. So did Leslie Neilson (the doctor). He was known for his dramatic roles in the 50s through the 70s before finding another, younger audience as a comedic actor in the 80s and 90s. The airport workers who sent the plane into the airport at the beginning of the movie were played by Larry and David Zucker, two of the writers and directors of the film. Their mother Charlotte played the makeup lady on the plane. Some other great 80s comedies you might want to consider are: Ghostbusters, The Blues Brothers, The Princess Bride, This is Spinal Tap, Beetlejuice, Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Ferris Beuller's Day Off, and Crocodile Dundee.

[@Gilgie101]

Thats a pretty good list of essential 80s movies.

[@Caseytify]

@@Gilgie101 One of Neilson's earliest roles was the captain of a starship in Forbidden Planet, based on Shakespeare's The Tempest. He looks like a young William Shatner.

[@michaelfisher1395]

The couple on the P.A. at the airport were the actual people who did the announcements at LAX and were, I believe, a married couple. The taxi passenger was a well known business man at the time who crusaded to get many laws passed in California to reign in government spending. That he sat there for so long while the fare kept going without doing anything was a spoof of himself. The jive talk, written by the two black actors, was all a set up for the punchline of the older lady doing it back to them. Her name was Barbara Billingsley. She was the mother in "Leave It To Beaver" and personified 1950's wife and mother stereotypes. The lady who questions why her husband took a second cup of coffee used to do coffee commercials around that time, for Folgers I think. Questioning why her husband would want a second cup of coffee away from home was her catchphrase and theme of the commercials. The "soldier" who thought he was Ethel Merman WAS Ethel Merman. She was a famous actress and singer.

[@mattslupek7988]

Try “The Breakfast Club” too. Another ‘80s classic.

[@bobd2659]

@@michaelfisher1395 IIRC the jive talk was written by the three of them over breakfast (or re-written). Johnny was basically the only comedic actor in the movie, and a good portion of what he did was improv...

[@GuamCruiseA.K.A.HarryKim]

You're my new favorite reaction channel, you are authentic have a very sweet personality :)

[@urborg74]

This movie was actually based on another movie, Zero Hour, which it matched virtually scene for scene, just with an insane dose of silliness and parody. Airplane is absolutely loaded, and a lot of the comedy can go right over a first time viewer's head. I would highly recommend watching it again sometime, you'll be amazed at how much more you pick up. The recurring themes are a lot more obvious too...like how nobody wants to hear Striker's old sob stories, they'd rather kill themselves. Reading up on some of the more obscure comedic choices is an option too. For instance, the actress who spoke Jive was the mother in an old sitcom "Leave it to Beaver," which was utterly traditional and wholesome, so seeing her talking like that was comedy gold for those who knew her.

[@DisorderedArray]

I think some of the script is basically the same as Zero Hour, which was a completely serious disaster movie, so it really shows what a difference some comedic timing makes!

[@mattslupek7988]

@@DisorderedArray Yup. Zero Hour is basically Airplane without the jokes. Of course, you also see references to other films, like Airport, From Here to Eternity, Saturday Night Fever and even a coffee commercial.

[@hellomark1]

They ended up buying the rights to Zero Hour since yah, a lot of the movie is a shot-for-shot remake, reusing the same lines. Probably the best one they kept in was "finding someone who can not only fly this plane, but didn't have fish for dinner!" kzbin.info/www/bejne/bl7ZY3V-g6eJedU Also the guys who spoke "Jive" wrote their own lines. They came in to read for it and the writers apologized up front because they knew what they had written was bad.

[@Compound97]

There are also a number of bits stolen from Airport and Airport 75 as well. Which most people these days have also never seen.

[@Cheepchipsable]

I doubt she would get much from multiple viewings. You would need to make a list of movies for her to watch first. so she can get those references, a list of cultural norms at the time, plus a bunch of other things, like jet engines don't make propeller engine noises, and Daiquiri is a drink, etc.

[@dannyropero4216]

Ya also beat me to it. That comment made my day!!

[@Steve-gx9ot]

Was Elaine having sex with a doll?? That is siiiick

[@finnmeister]

Fun fact: Lloyd Bridges was known as a serious actor who'd never done full-on comedy before. On set, he told fellow actor Robert Stack that he was worried he just wasn't being funny enough. Stack told him not to try to be funny and just say the lines like it was a serious drama. The rest is history.

[@namandu9454]

hot shots 2..excellent

[@ErisRising]

I think he said something like "Don't you get it Lloyd? They don't want us to play the parts. They want us to play us!"

[@gnericgnome4214]

I first saw Robert Stack in a movie that started out corny, but turned out to (for me) be a very moving historic film... "John Paul Jones". It was later that I saw him in "The Untouchables" in reruns.

[@AlanCanon2222]

21:00 YES, that's Jonathan Banks, aka Mike Ehrmentraut from Breaking Bad / Better Call Saul. He's been acting forever. He's got a great bit part in The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai: Across the Eighth Dimension as well, getting strangled by John Lithgow's evil Italian/alien character.

15:47 "Radar Range" was an old term (or maybe a brand trademark) for a microwave oven.

[@artieeffham355]

Yep, the Amana Radar Range. In 1945 a Raytheon employee was working around an active radar set, and a candy bar he had in his pocket melted, and the microwave oven was born.

[@libertarianguy5567]

This is one of those movies that it helps if you are familiar with pop culture of the 60's and 70's to understand most of the references and understand several of the jokes. Barbra Billingsley was actually in a show from the 50's. And yes, this is the movie that brought us "Don't call me Shirley". I did really enjoy your reaction. It is nice seeing young people enjoy the movies I enjoyed as a kid.

[@only257]

Agreed i watched a lot of movies from the 20s to the 80s so I have seen a lot of zombie movies too if the uploaded is interested🎉

[@MWSin1]

Getting the full impact of one joke requires some knowledge that would be considered very obscure outside of 1970s California: The guy in the taxi was Howard Jarvis, an actual California businessman and politician who spent his whole career pushing for strict limits on property taxes. The joke is that a man who was so dedicated to tax reduction patiently watched a huge fare run up.

[@Logan_Baron]

Yeah, most people now don't even know about Jive Talk. And the commercial references. Even the magic trick of pulling eggs out of someones mouth doesn't seem to be a thing anymore. But it's great that people can miss so many of the references, but still find the movie hilarious from the stuff left.

The gag at 15:50 with the "Radar Range" was that microwave ovens were developed by Raytheon after WWII. The magnetron that radar uses is what microwave ovens use to heat. The first microwave ovens were marketed under the name Radar Ranges.

[@waterbeauty85]

I was at an outpatient clinic for a wound check of an abscessed cyst on my back and collapsed because I was going into shock from a bad post op infection from a kidney stone removal. The doctor called the paramedics to take me to the Emergency Room at the in-patient hospital which was across the street. She told me they were admitting me to the hospital, so I asked her "The hospital? What is it?" Not realizing that I was referencing "Airplane!" she gave me a serious answer about the infection causing my blood pressure to drop dangerously, and I told her "You should have said 'The hospital is a big building with patients.'" She didn't understand, but one of the paramedics said "That's from 'Airplane!' Right?" as he started an IV on me. I'm a firm believer in never losing my sense of humor.

[@maciejguzek3442]

There was a television show in the 1980s called "Police Squad!" that was this silly kind of humor. It was later turned into a trilogy of films, called "The Naked Gun." All fun to watch, although the television series is better appreciated for its satire of 1970s police/detective shows. The films do stand alone by themselves.

It's also culturally different. Airports aren't like they were 24 years ago. And 25 years ago they weren't like they were 50 years ago. You actually used to have to push away religious types like in the intro. That was less comedy, and more power fantasy of the time.

A couple of things that most younger people miss: "The war" was World War II ---- He wasn't even born then. The second suicide was a Japanese soldier from WWII. The "radar range" question when he opened the microwave was because many people called microwaves "radar ranges" ----- They were still uncommon when this movie was made. Most of the serious roles were played by actors that had been known for serious roles, so the humor was often enhanced by their fish out of water behavior. Leslie Nielson went into comedic roles because of this movie.

[@joeblankenship377]

Wow, nice catch on Jonathan Banks/Mike Ehrmantraut. I never noticed him til somebody pointed him out to me once. I'm so glad you watched this. It's a classic parody movie. "Don't call me Shirley" has been quoted endlessly.

[@jameswilson7790]

This is the first movie to use deadpan comedy throughout the entire movie. Leslie Nielsen, Lloyd Bridges, and Robert Stack were serious actors who had never been cast in a comedy before Airplane!. The director told everyone except Stephen Stucker, who played Johnny, to deliver their lines seriously. After this movie, Robert Stack was in the two Caddyshack movies before becoming the host of Unsolved Mysteries. Leslie Nielsen went on to star in Police Story and the Naked Gun movies. He was never a heavy actor again.

The Doctor, Leslie Nielsen, is in the Naked Gun and the Police Squad movies. His Brother, Eric Nielsen, was Canada's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence in the early 1980s.

The Breaking Bad actor was also the henchman in Beverly Hills Cop (which you should react to as well)

Any movie with Leslie Nielsen in a major role is comedic gold.

Like Forbidden Planet? 🤖

9:21 "It appears he _is_ a doctor. _Very_ doctorly looking." That actor is Leslie _Nielsen._ Prior to this movie, his roles were mainly _serious._ This movie introduced him to the world as a virtuoso of deadpan _humor;_ a trait for which he developed a bit of a _reputation,_ right up until his death in 2010.

(my auntie owns the house Leslie lived in until he was about 4 years old, in Regina, Canada ☺)

Val Kilmer's TOP SECRET is from the same shelf as Airplane, and has an underwater fight scene. An Underwater brawl in a Wild West Saloon. How? Why? Noone can tell but it was epic. Also Val's first movie. Hilarious. The Thing may be too intense even for a Carpenter movie, so try "They Live" which has some comedic relief.

Oh my goodness, watching those eyes react to this movie is one of the best things I've seen in years.

Love your reactions. You have a fun personality. The doctor's office had so much mayonnaise in it because it was the "mayo" clinic. Lol. It's such a dad joke. Thank you for your channel. You're a lot of fun.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

Technically, they're all Dad jokes, considering that many of us who saw it when it was released are Dads now.😁

[@Falconer1128]

@@dr.burtgummerfan439 lol. True enough.

Nice review, as stated some jokes timeframe related, others movie related, it's all in good fun. You probably went by 20 or so great jokes but that's ok. When we saw it at the theatre, there was so much laughter, we had to go back and see 2 or 3 times!!!! Genius marketing plan 😂 keep up the great work! And so you know, ur really a smart young lady... you did pick up a lot of stuff that others have missed, even after seeing it several times. Ok next, Naked Gun! You'll love them. Thanks again for sharing 😉

[@deadman79123]

Great reaction and I love this movie! One of the overlooked jokes is when it shows the plane itself. The sound effects are that of a propeller plane, but its a jet engine plane! I didn't learn that until years later! 🤣

PG-13 wasn't a rating until 1984 with the film "Red Dawn". this rating was influenced by "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and "Gremlins" , both of which were only PG despite its content.

[@dunhill1]

It was released into theaters as a PG rated movie.
