Airplane! Hilarious Reaction Video (Classic Scenes)

[@KurtAnderson812]

I saw this in the theatres when it first came out. For the first, and so far, only time in my life I actually saw someone in the audience laughing so hard they fell out of their seat and rolled in the aisle. A true classic

[@CanadiansReact]

Haha. That must have been great to see this in theatres. I can only imagine how hard everyone would be laughing and that would be hilarious to see someone fall out of their seat laughing 😂 -Ryan

[@josephcox178]

@@CanadiansReact I have both this and "AIRPLANE 2: The Sequel" on DVD. They're timeless and still hilarious over forty years later. If you want to see something just as ridiculous, try watching "POLICE SQUAD". Leslie Nielsen is in that too. Sadly, they only made six episodes because the networks said there were just too many one liners and sight gags but it's just as ridiculous and side splitting funny. Best to you and yours and the rest of Canada. Be safe and be well.

[@johnnash2815]

Leslie Nielson must be the greatest comedy actor of all time, he made millions of people laugh and never had a smile on his face

[@christineh482]

“And don’t call me Shirley.” Best line.

[@CanadiansReact]

Thanks Shirley

[@thehandoftheking3314]

"Like my men" kills me every time

[@JonsTunes]

The plane sounding like a plane with propellers 😂

[@KarstensCreationsKC]

Yup... The one HUGE running gag in this that never fails to me me laugh, but no one seems to notice is that the plane is a JET airliner, but they used the sound of a WW2 prop plane for it's sound effect, both exterior/interior shots throughout the film...;)

[@smfmnoneya9134]

How could they have left out the "excuse me miss but I speak jive" scene? Hands down, one of the top 3 funniest scenes.

[@alyzu4755]

Saw this when it first came out, with my parents and my brother. The theater was full and the laughing started as soon as the tail of the plane appeared in the clouds and didn't stop until the end credits. ☺️

[@viewfromthehighchair9391]

Me and my buddy went opening night to the movie and sat in the very front row. The saying goes that we were "rolling on the floor laughing"; me and my buddy literally were doing that. We ended up going the very next night to try and catch all the jokes and gags we missed the first night because they were so layered in the movie. One of the best movies all-time.

[@carlgrant9785]

Classic movie. My favorite scene is as they describe the symptoms the pilot develops them. Had me crying with laughter.

[@CanadiansReact]

I must admit I’m glad Ryan suggested to do this one because it got me good too. -Adam

"I was in the Air Force" Wears Navy uniform

[@gahrie]

This was the first comedy Leslie Nielsen did. He had a long career as a serious actor first. A lot of the supporting actors (like Lloyd bridges) also had long careers as serious actors. It made the impact of the movie at the time even greater. Nielsen then went on to have a second career as a comedic actor.

[@CanadiansReact]

Goes to show you that you can never be too old to change things up in your career. Thanks for the info! -Adam

[@jimdigitalvideo]

A consequence of Leslie Nielsen switching from serious movies to comedies, and Leslie said it himself, was that it ruined a lot of his earlier movies. Everybody keeps waiting for the punchline in them.

[@thepayne7862]

The scene where she gets slapped it was actually the actress idea to have them slap her. The reason was in all of those type of disaster movies there was always one hysterical woman that got slapped. They also had to get permission from the bee gees to play it at double speed like that.

[@CanadiansReact]

Oh interesting. Thanks for back story! That’s so interesting. - Adam

[@thepayne7862]

@@CanadiansReact Very welcome. Hope the channel keeps growing.

[@frankzeller4390]

This was statistically proven to be the #1 comedy movie of all time, to this day, providing a laugh no less than every 10 seconds! Every one was so very literal. Almost every actor/actress seen in this movie was already famous in their own right!

[@jeffblanchard2406]

To me what makes the movie so funny is that everything is completely deadpan( except Johnny in the control tower). That and the almost constant sight gags.

[@hebber1961]

Some jokes were related to the time. Like the 2nd cup of coffee. There was a famous commercial in that era where men never had second cups of coffee at home but did when they went out and tried that brand.

[@MarkTitus420]

If you haven't heard of "Zero Hour" yet, you have to see that movie to really appreciate the humor of this. Airplane" was taken almost directly from the script line for line but with a slight plot twist, the 1950's move in black and white. Watch Zero Hour after after watching Airplane, you will love it.

[@Chance1978ric]

The Zucker brothers actually bought the script. Lines like "I want that runway filled with lights" is a real line from Zero Hour. True story.

[@SaltyPirate71]

Nobody ever seems to notice the plane's engine sounds. It changes between jets and propellers. My favorite running gag is Lloyd Bridges and the, "Looks like I picked the wrong week to...". The best one is cut out and comes at the end, "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue."

[@Kevin-dn8qe]

Did you two notice the noise from the propeller? On a jet? Maybe the longest running joke in the history of movies.

[@CanadiansReact]

Yes we did!

[@TennesseeMelanie]

Leslie Nielson....THE BEST.

[@SasuNaruL0vR80]

i never understood y ppl didnt crack up over Johnny being random as f*ck through the whole thing he deserves BIG props cause he ad-libbed ALL his lines! XD

[@countroshculla]

One of the best comedies. Leslie Nielsen is the best. I miss him.

[@JPMadden]

Fun fact: This movie was inspired by a relatively obscure 1957 drama called "Zero Hour!" Ted Stryker is a former Royal Canadian Air Force pilot who has to land a passenger plane. "Airplane!" is a comic remake/rip-off, with some of the dialogue and camera angles nearly identical.

[@Konsker]

love the 2 parts with shirley

[@mildredpierce4506]

2:49 that's a reference to a popular coffee commercial. I believe it was Yuban coffee.

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

A lot of people miss the fact that they are in a jet plane, but the whole movie you hear propeller engines.

[@CanadiansReact]

Wow! Fantastic point! -Adam

[@MrDuneedon]

I didn't laugh at "stationed in Drambuie" until many, many years after seeing this film for the first time.

[@richardmccorkle2095]

You guys should look at another GREAT, "Young Frankenstein ". So Funny!

[@JudaZuk_]

Airplane is good, but Top Secret is just excellent :)

[@CanadiansReact]

We shall look into that! Thanks! -Adam

[@SPAMDAGGER22]

Absolutely. Under rated movie for sure. Although Airplane may be the king of the genre, Top Secret is a prince of a movie.

[@abrown0289]

Such a good movie! Love the random facts you guys throw in! Can't wait to see what's next!!

"Better Off Dead" starring John Cusack.

[@JeffWaynee]

Leslie Nielson is actually from the North West Territory in Canada.

[@CanadiansReact]

Oh yeah I remember hearing that now. Thanks for clarifying! -Adam

[@josephcox178]

@@CanadiansReact You want to check out something just as ridiculous? Try "POLICE SQUAD (In Color)" It ran on ABC in the summer of '82 and sadly, they only made six episodes because they claimed there were too many jokes. It also starred Leslie Nielsen. The left over jokes were used for the "Naked Gun" series. It'll have you in tears. Worth a watch. Happy 2021 to you and yours. Be safe and be well.

[@hungfao]

This was playing at a drive-in theater in my area when it came out. The place was packed and the laughter coming from the cars was unlike anything I'd ever experienced. There are a lot of jokes that were very much part of that time. For example, the woman and the coffee, 'Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home'. That was an annoying actual commercial then. Today, it kind of gets a puzzled reaction.

[@celiashen5490]

You mean, like in Men in Tights, Dave Chapelle pumps up his sneakers?

[@OhioOwns]

nobody ever mentions how every time they show a shot of the jet you hear propellers lol

[@NulJern]

Never seen this movie. Reminds me of Hot Shots. I need to to see this movie right now!

[@zardox78]

I like the complete lack of reaction to the parody of the 40 year old coffee commercial or the Point/Counterpoint thing. Really highlights why these movies should try and avoid the esoteric flavor-of-the-minute references... the trap that later spoof movies dove face-first into.

[@CanadiansReact]

Yeah totally. Very good point. - Adam

[@LednacekZ]

should watch the Airplane vs Zero Hour comparison. It is amazing.

[@danielkaz6280]

My favourite movie 😂😂😂

[@elizabeths50]

this movie is so full of cultural references at that time, the woman thinking to herself was from a coffee commercial and too funny. Airplane was a spoof on all the disaster movies called Airport. The movies are distinguished by the year they were released, Airport (Dean Martin starred in the 1st one), Airport '75 was the best of them, starring Charlton Heston and a 747. And mostly what Airplane was spoofing.

[@CanadiansReact]

Oh thanks for the back story! We love hearing this kinda stuff. Thanks for watching with us! -Adam

[@BlokenArrow]

It was a parody almost scene for scene of Zero Hour from 1957

[@raymondmoore5476]

The wanted to make a serious movie but with off the wall humor but to the characters in the movie, that was normal. The humor and straight talk was the same to them, which is what makes it work so well. The characters where never trying to be funny, they were just being what would be considered normal in their world. Still a classic and will always be a classic movie.

[@7alaZone]

You missed '' I just want to tell you both good luck we all counting on you''

[@gahrie]

Anyone remember Joe Izuzu? He played one of the Hare Krishna guys.

[@uncle_thulhu]

Did YOU know? When he was making this movie, Leslie Nielsen has no idea it was even a comedy? He thought it was a legit, if somewhat surreal, disaster movie. He didn't work it out until the premiere. THAT is how he manages to keep so deadpan.

[@CanadiansReact]

Really!? I find that hard to believe. That’s not me doubting you but I’d love to know where that source of info is. -Adam

[@uncle_thulhu]

@@CanadiansReact same place I get most of my info, those hard-hitting investigate journalists over at cracked.com. okay, okay, but at least they do a little research and actually cite it, and they usually admit when they're wrong, which is more than I can say for most actual news outfits these days. But yeah. ZAZ didn't think he'd do it if he knew it was a comedy.

[@laurenm6511]

There is no way he didnt know. Lol

[@uncle_thulhu]

@@laurenm6511 you know what? After further research, you're right. He did know it was comedy. But it WAS his first comedic role. Same as Robert Stack, Robert Hays, Lloyd Bridges and Peter Graves.

[@lynnarthur-stillalive2025]

I must admit I didn't think this movie was funny when it was released. I was a bit of a film snob. But age and weathering storms (hopefully) season a person's sense of humor. Well... while watching the clips from "Airplane"... I laughed so hard I cried. Thank God age has made me saner. 😉

In the scene where the passenger turns on the air and it blows strong. to his left is a passenger wearing a fake beard that was supposed to blow off. I think it was glued on too strong and it didn't come off.
