PS: Even to this day, DECADES after seeing this movie for the first time, I still use the "Don't call me Shirley" response automatically without thinking whenever someone says "Surely you can't be serious" to me. ALSO: Industry regulations now dictate that flight crews MUST eat "different meals" during long flights in order to AVOID possible "bad food" issues from eating the same meals.

[@UTU49]

So Airplane! is a movie that has saved lives.

[@Cau_No]

​@@UTU49 Actually it was "Zero Hour", the one this is based on. This is basically a scene-by-scene parody of an older movie. Mostly like what Spaceballs did with Star Wars or Scary Movie with Scream!

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

i don't know if you realize it, but the "don't call me shirley" joke was around LONG before this movie. as were half the jokes in the movie. its the familiarity of these jokes that help make the film so funny. the line i use from this movie all the time is - "what a pisser." and no one knows what the hell i'm talking about. and that's a real pisser, i'll tell ya.

“I thought you couldn’t smoke on planes” Well, young people don’t know how air travel used to be.

[@dunhill1]

and back then passengers also dressed up like they were going to church or a business meeting. Of course security was minimal, no TSA, etc. In the mid 70s our family physician smoked when my sister and I would get our annual check up. Smoking was everywhere. Cars had ash trays built in (no longer) and most bars and many restaurants had cigarette vending machines!

I remember when people could smoke everywhere. It was a nightmare. In some restaurants you couldn't even taste your food because of the amount of smoke in the air. Also, your clothes would reek of cigarette after going out. So disgusting. I remember some people being pissed at the smoking ban for "going against freedom". Kinda crazy in retrospect.

One aspect that is hard for non-Americans or even younger generation Americans to get is that almost all the actors in this movie were known for playing almost the exact same characters in serious dramas, meaning they were making fun of... themselves.

[@sabrecatsmiladon7380]

The Black guys were speaking "Jive" which was a street language spoken in the Black neighborhoods back in the 1970's A common insult..."Man, you are a jive turkey!" Barbara Billingsly, the older white lady that speaks jive was the mother on the extremely popular TV show, Leave it to Beaver" SHe played a VERY wholesome and perfect TV Mother. Her speaking Jive made everyone who has seen that TV show go crazy with laughing

[@THOMMGB]

In an interview, she said the two guys were wonderful and taught her how to speak jive. She also said this small part in this movie revived her career.

[@alexandersupertramp6027]

One of my favorite parts of the movie. Now days it would have killed her career. Glad it helped hers.

[@Caseytify]

There really is a subset of English that sprang from black American culture. Other names are Ebonics and Black Urban Dialect. Part of the humor here is that the two men literally made up their lines as they went along, since the writers never intended to simulate the actual dialect. It's as valid as (say) Cockney in considering it a distinct dialect.

[@geeebuttersnap2433]

@@Caseytify I can’t help but think the writers of the third Austin powers took inspiration from the jive translation for the scene where Austin and his dad talk English English, the subtitles had question marks as they talked more ridiculously.

[@vinnycordeiro]

Some comments about this movie, one of my favorite comedies ever: 1. Many of the jokes are lost in time, because they were time epoch specific, like the actress that complains about the husband never taking a second cup of coffee at home (at the late 70s this same actress starred a TV commercial for a coffee brand saying that her husband always drank a second cup of coffee), or the elderly lady talking jive with the two Black men (she was known at the time for a role on a TV series of an upper middle-class woman from a reality the most farthest away from Black communities you can possibly imagine). The conversation between the two kids about coffee is also a reference for a TV commercial of that time; 2. Yes, the co-pilot is Kareem Abdul Jabbar, one of the legends of Basketball. He was still active at the time this movie was shot; 3. That was the first comic role for Leslie Nielsen. In fact, the movie was even more funnier at the time because there are so many actors on the screen that were famous for serious roles, seeing them doing comedy gave extra strength to the joke's punch lines.

[@kencramer1697]

Another thing that has been lost to time was the Turkey in the microwave. When they first came out they were branded as "Radar Ranges" .

[@matthewcartwright1990]

[@SuperBigblue19]

One of my favorite scenes was Barbara Billingsley who played the mom in the 50's sitcom Leave It To Beaver when she was talking Jive with the black guys. At the time the movie came out it was one of the most talked about parodies of the movie because of her previous role being so well, suburban white.

You should probably ask yourself why you're so afraid of people facing basic accountability. Could it be you fear it yourself?

[@michaelccozens]

At least some Zucker involvement on the "Hot Shots!" movies, too. And if you like ZAZ-style humour, the Farrelly Brothers (There's Something About Mary, Dumb and Dumber, etc.) were sort of the next generation of that type of comedy. Peter Farrelly went on to write, direct, and produce 2018's "Green Book", which won the Oscar for Best Picture. There's a parallel there with Jerry Zucker having directed 1990's classic drama, "Ghost". ZAZ wasn't involved in the sequel to this film, Airplane 2, but it's still quite funny.

[@boki1693]

You did super well with the jokes. A lot of the jokes you would have no way of knowing if your not American. Also, many Americans miss a lot of the jokes because the movie came out in 1980 and the younger people have no idea what they are talking about sometimes. like for instance almost the entire cast was made up of older famous actors that were known for series roles and were playing funny roles in this film. the younger people even in America don't know who most of those actors were. But if you saw this in 1980, you most likely would have known all the actors.

[@Vinterfrid]

@ScienceFraction Well, she did not understand all the jokes to be fair - you'd have to be of an older generation and raised in the U.S. to understand them all.

[@thomasvleminckx]

We're actually not all retarded outside of the US, Glenn.

[@frugalseverin2282]

You got as many of the jokes as most reactors do. There some out-dated references no one gets such as the reference to a coffee ad (Jim never has a 2nd cup at home), Anita Bryant (former singer, sold orange juice and did not like gay marriage), Ronald Reagan who was a movie actor before being governor and President, the beach scene "From Here to Eternity", the whitest woman in America played June Cleaver but somehow can speak Jive (not a real language, just black slang), the horse in the bed refers to the Godfather movies, mayo is short for mayonnaise so it's a pun on the Mayo Clinic, they were flying 'on instruments' means on automation but it's a pun on musical instruments. There are probably more I've forgotten. The original 1957 movie "Zero Hour!" is very dramatic, just 81 min. long. It also has Ted Stryker, his wife is leaving him but she's not a stewardess. Their son is Joey, he's entertained by a man with a puppet. Half the dialogue is the same but no punch lines.

[@internetidentity3917]

Even for people who know Reagan and know he was an actor, the Knute Rockne speech is another level of obscure under a certain age. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anyone comment on it.

[@richwelling3409]

A couple of the jokes you missed are in the credits. For example, the credits are usually filled with positions in the filmmaker crew followed by the perso or people who filled that roll.one of the positions in these verdicts was "Foreeze," and that position is credited to "A jolly good fellow." Also, after the last of the credits is an extra scene where the guy is still waiting in the taxi.

[@Cybrludite]

Another "lost to time & place" gags was the guy in the taxi. He was a real-world politician in California, know for budget reform. The idea that he'd just sit there while the meter ran up tens of thousands of dollars was hilarious, but only if you lived in California at the time.

[@Cybrludite]

Also the white zone/red zone couple were actually married and did the overhead announcements at LAX airport.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

Watch through the credits to get to the final joke - 'Nice that you enjoyed this so much. Some of the jokes are parodies of comercials from that time, so they make no sense now. The reason for all that mayonnaise on the shelves is because it was the famous Mayo Clinic. Overall, you did a great job. It was fun watching that with you.

[@StanSwan]

So amazing to see someone so young who might have missed some of the 1980 references enjoy this film. Not to mention she said her English is not the best. Very bright young lady, sure you break hearts. Ye made this old guy laugh and smile. Thank you for posting.

Hi Magy, hope you are feeling better now. Loved the look on your face when he took off his glasses and had another pair underneath 🤣. Most people seem to miss that the big shiny jet plane sounds like an old propeller plane 😋

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Two things to keep in mind about this movie: First, watch it more than once because there's a TON of stuff that you'll miss the first time around. Second, a lot of the humor is based on commercials and other social references from the seventies or require some knowledge of American culture. I don't know why, but the funniest bit for me was when the tribesman news anchor is telling the "breaking" news with the drum sticks, a guy walks in and hands him a new set of sticks (the breaking news) and he turns to face a different camera. Here's the part I mean: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXO3aIZobsiZb8U

Here are a couple of coffee jokes! The one at 8:28 was a spoof of Crash Landing (1958), see this comparison clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3mZfIpsmrKKgKs As for the second, at 13:20 the "second cup of coffee" joke was a spoof of commercials for Yuban coffee in the 1970s--and they hired the same actress! See this example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3uXnHZ8Z5eCaNk

[@ScreamingScallop]

I've seen the _Airport_ movies multiple times and I was still astounded by how much the Mayo Clinic scene in _Airplane!_ matches up to the scene that inspired it in _Airport 1975._ (You can see a little bit in the trailer on KZbin.) And yeah, the tribal newsman is one of my favorites, too; the way his drumming intensifies when he's handed the "bulletin" kills me.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

@@davidblauyoutube Ah yes and that second clip the actress actually might be the same one in the original commercial. If not she's a dead ringer for her. As for the source material, although there are some references to disaster movie scenes like _Airport 77_ etc, the majority of the movie is a parody of a 1957 movie called _Zero Hour._ The makers of _Airplane!_ even paid $2500 for the right to that original story (even though they didn't really need to because they'd have been protected by satire/parody law).

Yep, that's her from What About Bob?, Julie Haggerty. Robert Hays (Ted Striker) did play Hyde's dad in That 70's Show, he voiced Tony Stark in the 90's animated Iron Man series and he was in a movie called Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (which I highly recommend for you to react and watch, it's such a great movie! It has real animals and no cgi! It's about two dogs, a young bulldog pup and an older wise golden retriever, and a himalayan cat trying to get home to their owners by going through the wilderness. The bulldog is voiced by Michael J. Fox from Back to the Future, the cat is voiced by Sally Field who you know as Aunt May in The Amazing Spider Man-movies and the golden is voiced by Don Ameche from the Cocoon movies)

[@lordwalker71]

This a spoof of a couple of airplane disaster movies that were made in the 70’s, one was called airport 77 and the other was airport 79 the Concorde. I saw it in the theatre when I was 9 years old. You could smoke on planes at this time, the two black men are speaking Jive which was a slang language that started in the jazz musician community but because popular in the black community in the 70’s. The lady who says her husband never has a second cup of coffee at home is a reference to a famous coffee commercial from the 70’s where couples would be at a friends house or a restaurant and the husband would be asked if he would like a second cup of coffee and the wife would be shocked when he said yes and it was because he liked the coffee made by the company who made the commercial.

[@douglasdavis8395]

It's actually a parody of the movie, "Zero Hour."

[@stephanginther9051]

A couple fun facts about this movie. 1. If you watch his flashbacks, each flashback has planes from an era prior to the previous one. His first flashback had relatively modern planes which got older with each instance. 2. The two announcers who argued in the beginning were a) real announcers for the LAX airport in LA and b) man and wife. 3. To answer your question about smoking on the plane. Smoking on commercial airplanes became illegal in the US in 1988, this movie came out in 1980.

[@michaelccozens]

Subtle jokes in here, too. For example, the whole movie is almost a shot-for-shot remake of an older, serious film called "Zero Hour!". That movie, being older, featured a prop-driven plane. While the plane in this movie is clearly a jet, the sound of prop engines is in the background of just about every scene on the plane.

[@mhlevy]

There are just so many jokes in this movie, it's hard to see them all in a single viewing. In addition to that, since you didn't grow up in the US, you aren't aware of many of the characters played in TV shows or commercials. For instance, the "language" the black men were speaking was "Jive," which was just slang from the inner-cities, so as a joke, the movie had subtitles in English on screen. And the woman who says "I speak 'jive'" was an actress who played the mother in the family show TV series "Leave It to Beaver," which played on T V during the late 60s and early 70s. The key is that people who grew up in the 70s and 80s watched re-runs of the show, so most people knew her as a stay at home house wife who wore pearls while doing house work. Her playing the jive translator was so very different than her role everyone knew her from. In fact, nearly all of the actors in the movie were very well known for their drama work, not for comedy. And that also made the movie so funny.

[@nowthatsjustducky]

I was fortunate enough to get to see this on the big screen upon initial release. I was all of 12 at the time. What a decade to grow up in...

[@sleuthentertainment5872]

The key of the success of this movie was how intelligent were David and Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams when it comes to use the absurd humor. And is because that humor is using from a tragic set and serious actings, mocking about the drama, so the impact is funnier because the sensation of scapism is bigger. Many people hate this film and say its humor is silly...but come on, is really clever and witty. Favorite scenes: the dance in the disco, the sordid conversations between Peter Graves and Ross Harris, Robert Hays covered in sweat while landing the plane, Lorna Patterson singing River of Jordan, Ted's flashbacks about the Molombos tribe, the slap-in-a-row scene, and of course all the scenes of Leslie Nielsen and Robert Stack.

[@lewis9702]

George Zip was a parody of Notre Dame football player, George Gipp, nicknamed "The Gipper". Gipp unfortunately became deathly ill, and passed away while in College. While Gipp was on his deathbed, the Notre Dame coach, Knute Rockne gave an impassioned speech to his team, ending with "Win one for the Gipper". Ronald played George Gipp in a movie back in the 50's, and he was running for President when this movie was produced.

the 'I speak Jive' scene cracks me up...so did Lt. Kramer having to fight his way through the airport beggars...such a beautiful laugh and smile u have May...Try a couple of more hilariuos comedies from the same director-"The Naked Gun", or "Fatal Instinct",

[@seanmcmurphy4744]

This entire movie is just a string of one-liner jokes, but it all works and I never get tired of rewatching it

[@BATTIS94]

A couple of decades ago you could smoke EVERYWHERE, and it was a nightmare. Restaurants used to reek of cigarette smoke, people would smoke on hospitals waiting rooms, malls were filled with smoke to the point of making your eyes watery, etc. Thank god for the indoor smoke banning.

[@PedroCastillo_1980]

One of the greatest funniest movies ever made😄😄😄😄Airplane! written and directed by Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker starring Robert Hays, Julie Hagerty, Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and music score by Elmer Bernstein. The famous line in this film "Surely you can't be serious...I am serious. And don't call me Shirley". This film is a parody of the 1957 drama film Zero Hour! starring Dana Andrews, Linda Darnell and Sterling Hayden. Thank you so much Magy great reaction just excellent

[@jd-zr3vk]

The actress who played the lady who got slapped suggested the weapons. The actress who interpreted jive was Barbara Billingsly. She starred in a TV show in the 1950s and 60s as the ideal mother.

[@Macdelaven]

It is so fun to see you laugh at all the silliness in this movie. I was about your age when I saw the movie and my jaw was sore from laughing.

[@davestang5454]

Imagine being one of the extras in the plane interior scenes. That looks like so much fun. I have done similar extras work on a movie set but it wasn't that much crazy action. The production crew did play a fun joke on us, however, by placing gag emergency cards behind the seats that read "Cocaine located under your seat for easy sniffing".

[@bobogus7559]

That's a Boeing 707, one of the earliest jet airliners to have ever been made (introduced in 1958). Modern jets have far simpler cockpits. Also, he wouldn't have needed to use the vast majority of those controls - mainly just six indicators (known as the six pack), along with the yoke (kind of like a steering wheel), the rudder pedals, the throttle, the landing gear lever, the flap lever, and the switches for the exterior lights.

[@michaelfisher1395]

The man and woman over the loudspeakers in the airport were the actual airport announcers at LAX and were also a married couple. The man in the cab was not an actor. He was a well-known businessman from California who lobbied heavily to reign in government spending in California. It’s obscure, and you’d have to have been from California at that time to even know who he was, but the joke is that he just sits there allowing the tab to keep going up without doing anything. The black guys speaking jive, which they wrote themselves, was all a setup for the punchline of the older white woman speaking it as well and back to them. The actress was Barbara Billingsley. She played June Cleaver in the 1950’s TV show Leave It To Beaver and was the epitome of a white middleclass mother and housewife of that era. The woman who thinks to herself that her husband never has a second cup of coffee at home was an actress who did national coffee commercials - I think for Folgers - and that was always her catchphrase. Peter Graves (pilot), Leslie Neilson (doctor), Lloyd Bridges (air traffic controller) and Robert Stack (pilot in tower) were very famous and legendary dramatic actors who had done little to no comedy. Casting them in this movie and having them say and do such ridiculous things was SO out of character for them. That is what made it so funny. Peter Graves was the main character in the original TV series Mission Impossible, which the Tom Cruise movies are based on. There is a reference to it in Airplane!2. Lloyd Bridges sons, actors Beau Bridges and Jeff Bridges, begged him to do this movie so they could laugh at him. It led to many more comedy roles for all of them. Lloyd Bridges was also in a couple of episodes of Seinfeld toward the end of his life. Ethel Merman was a very famous and successful actress, singer and Broadway star. Yes, that was her in the hospital flashback basically playing herself. The song she sings was one of her trademarks. I’m not sure, but the horse in bed with the pilot’s wife might be a reference to The God Father. The ridiculous images in the background while Robert Stack is driving to the airport is making fun of the bad special effects used up till around that time whenever people are driving.

[@caseybean1305]

This movie has a lot of fun with English language jokes. My favorite got cut. "Surely you can't be serious." "I am serious and stop calling me Shirley" 😂 There are some dated jokes too. Reporters running into the phone booth. Phone booths no loner exist in cell phone age. I'm old, so I get the dated jokes. Glad to see how much you enjoyed a movie from my youth and you get that it's just VERY SILLY humor

[@TommygunNG]

In case no one explained "radar range" and the microwave: Back when this movie was made, the Amana company put out one of the first microwave ovens. It was called a "radar range."

[@richardrobbins8067]

"Top Secret!" or "The Naked Gun" series after this would be ideal. But if you really wanna get crazy "The Kentucky Fried Movie" is where most of this all started. Happy New Year.

[@danwiesdamageinc]

This movie parodies a lot of old movies and TV commercials. Here's just a few: 8:31 Original and parody kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3mZfIpsmrKKgKs 8:51 Original kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKfFg5eui7F2bas 13:21 The 2nd part of the TV commercial parody. They even got the same actress. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3uXnHZ8Z5eCaNk

[@3DJapan]

16:00 This is why on real planes the pilots have different meals than the passengers.

[@Greg-iq5nd]

My fave gag which is oft overlooked is the sound of propeller engines when they are actually on a jet. Happy New Year everyone!

[@kevsim70]

Back in the 70s and at least early 80s smoking was legal on planes. One airline really was unclear on the concept of smoking and non-smoking sections, as they set the smoking section as the left side of the plane, and the non-smoking section as the right side of the plane. Which, of course, made it totally useless... lol

[@thrummer1953]

It made more sense to put the smoking section in the back. The airflow on most planes is top to bottom, front to back.

[@Zeromus10]

This movie is golden, love your reaction to it, Magy :D It has gag and joke after joke after gag, it is just amazing. You can easily average a joke like every 5 seconds or something :D My favorite ones are McCroskey's quitting/cold turkey gag, the sweating bit, the "just kidding... AH-HA-HA!" moment, how Ted met Elaine... This movie is just amazing. I think you will love the Naked Gun 1 and 2 1/2, which is basically the same type of comedy, dear Magy! See you in the next reaction! Please react to Airplane 2.

[@SGlitz]

The Zuckers Brothers and Jim Abrahms did also: Airplane 2, Hot shots,Hot shots part deux, Top Secret, Police Squad!, and The Naked Gun movie trilogy

[@victornewmanforever]

They didn't do Airplane 2. Ken Finkleman did. They've never watched it. Jim Abrahams famously said: "If you sister was a prostitute, would you want to see her at work?"

[@uriel666marco]

Zucker and the Abrahams were not involved in Airplane 2. Totally different director, screenwriter and producers worked on the sequel. The second film feels like they are recycled all the jokes from the first one. I don’t recommend the sequel as much as the first one.

[@SGlitz]

@@uriel666marco fair enough. But I still like the vacuum joke. :)

[@denisroy1342]

You will never get all the jokes in one viewing. There's two many visual gags mixed in with the dialog, english puns, period references including cameos by major Hollywood stars from the 50's,60's. There is a post credit sceene that few reactor know about that is worth checking out. Love hearing you laugh, here's a few suggestions; Blazing Saddle by Mel Brooks, A shot in the dark and the pink panther by Blake Edward. Keep on smiling 😊

[@kaizen5023]

17:00 🤣 When she's re-inflating the automatic pilot ... your facial expressions 😆😅🤣😂 THis movie still makes my face hurt from laughing!

[@davida7153]

Having Kareem as a copilot in the movie was really cool. He is one of the best basketball players ever and the joke with the kid is very funny, also the joke with the names is very clever. He has very decent acting skills.

[@alwayswrite2011]

1:37 - It's me! 3:52 - There used to be smoking sections on planes, in theaters, and restaurants. (Because the smoke from those areas didn't mix with the air everywhere else, right?) 5:52 - Magy, this is me saying nothing. Okay? I AM SAYING NOTHING! 🤐 18:34 - Everyone who reacts to this obviously can't show what you're seeing, but we know what it is. 😉 19:11 - That was one of the only two Johnny moments you showed?!? He was one of the best things about this movie! And Stephan Stucker improvised all of his lines! Since you loved this movie, I highly recommend "Top Secret." So few KZbinrs react to it, but it was made by the same people who made "Airplane!"

[@Pixelologist]

Let's not forget The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!

[@alwayswrite2011]

@@Pixelologist Yeah, but EVERYONE has been reacting to that one. "Top Secret!" gets very little love. 😞

[@davidstufflebean3285]

Whenever my boss calls and adds work or a problem pops up I always say "looks like I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue" and we both laugh.

[@gestaltdude]

One of the little noted spots of pure genius is when Kramer is getting his jacket on and getting ready to leave the house. The angle of the shot, the direction his wife is facing, even the background action of the driver being mauled by the dog, makes it look as if Kramer is looking in a mirror, which makes it even more jarring when he appears to walk right through it as he leaves.

[@JedHead77]

The opening with the airplane in the clouds is a parody of Jaws, one movie you MUST react to, Mags. 🦈

[@mcpidro]

Dude I love how much Maggi genuinely enjoys the completely ridiculous lol. Great sense of humor lady lol.

[@hungfao]

Even back then we went to see this more than once because you do indeed miss some of the subtle jokes. In your case, you may not get some of the jokes because it references many things that were part of that time frame. For example, the woman whose thoughts you hear, 'Jim never has a second cup....', she was in a coffee commercial where she said the very same lines when her husband accepted a second cup at a gathering. This commercial was played and played to the point of annoyance. So seeing her being slapped and beat in the movie by a queue of passengers was kind of satisfying. It was great that she was a good sport in making fun of herself in this movie.

[@spidersj12]

"Put ham on five, hold the mayo".... "Surely you can't be serious? I'm always serious and don't call me Shirley"... "Flying on instruments"... this movie is the meme champion before there were even memes!

[@darkhoursofday6250]

Great reaction. I've been learning Bulgarian for the past year and I am constantly amazed at your English! Not only can you speak it great, but to understand multiple meaning and comedy like this is unbelievably good!

[@spinynorman887]

Back in the 1970's, there were a series of movies called "Airport", which were "airline disaster" movies. This movie is a parody of those movies, and anyone who has seen them loved this movie!

[@MrNoosphere]

13:11 I've watched this move a dozen times - just noticed Joey finds a basket ball in the cockpit after talking to KAJ.

The humor might be a bit different in style from _Airplane!_ , but you might also enjoy _Spaceballs_ by Mel Brooks, who wrote and directed _Blazing Saddles_ .

A couple comedies you might like, Top Secret starring Val Kilmner, and National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon starring Emilio Estevez, Samuel L Jackson, Tim Curry and William Shatner.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

16:59 "Oh my God! The automatic pilot, it's deflating!" I am not aware of _any_ other movie with _this line._

[@AstroXeno]

3:54 "I thought you couldn't smoke on planes" You could when this movie was made. Restaurants, too- and even some movie theaters. (Back when movie theaters had balconies)

[@academyofshem]

32:22 Surely you caught Leslie Nielsen's most famous line...

[@meminustherandomgooglenumbers]

"This was too much English for me." It's not English, it's Jive. That's why there's subtitles in English.

[@call_me_Greg]

I still love watching Barbara Billingsley (the mom from Leave it to Beaver) talking jive to the two African-American passengers 😂

[@_ThinAir_]

Naked gun is another classic like that. Basically every comedy with Leslie Nielsen ;)
