2:41 That's the original way businesses used to take your credit card before there were magnetic strips and other, more modern systems. The numbers on your card came raised. The business clamped your card in that device, but pressure-sensitive paper over it, and passed a roller over it to copy the card's numbers onto the paper.

[@meanderingmarley3910]

...and don't forget to take that carbon copy! 🤓

[@kd5you1]

Some cards have numbers that are still raised, but one of mine has the number flat on the back of the card. Those imprinters were still used as a backup in case the electronic readers stopped working, and the forms IIRC made two copies of the original on top, one for the customer, one for the merchant and one for the bank or whichever company processes their credit sales. The carbon paper in between the papers was used to make the copy on the next lowest paper.

[@markwilliams6394]

I hated credit cards back then cuz over a certain amount you had to call the company to get verification that they had money left on their credit limit. What pain. Visa and Mastercard, you deposited it like a check or cash in the bank but Discovery you had to send it to the company to get your money from them. An even bigger pain.

[@JPMadden]

As many times as I've seen this movie, I don't remember it being specified that Ted was in the Army Air Force. I'm guessing he was wearing Navy dress whites in the bar so he could match John Travolta's outfit in "Saturday Night Fever." His being a WW2 vet 35 years after the war ended makes sense only because "Airplane!" is a comedic remake of the 1957 drama "Zero Hour!" It makes sense that Ted is a WW2 vet in the older movie.

Dasha, I just want to tell you good luck. We're all counting on you. 😁

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

Airplane! is a parody of the disaster movies that were so common at the time, like Airport, The Towering Inferno, The Poseidon Adventure, and Earthquake. It's based on an old movie called Zero Hour that had an almost identical plot, and even some of the same lines, except that it was a serious drama. The Zuckers bought the rights to Zero Hour so they could make Airplane! without violating the copyright. Congratulations of noticing the mayonnaise at the Mayo Clinic. A lot of people miss that. The actress who translated for the jive talkers was Barbara Billingsley. She was the mother on a sitcom from the late fifties and early sixties called "Leave It to Beaver." Her character of June Cleaver on that show was, let's say, very very white (as was the whole show). For those of us old enough to remember the show, it's really funny to see her as a "jive translator." You asked why the co-pilot was wearing goggles. That really was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and he would wear those goggles while playing to prevent eye injuries. When they pulled him out of his seat you could see the rest of his basketball uniform. Airplane! has a lot of references to old movies. The kissing scene on the beach is a parody of a similar scene between Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr in From Here to Eternity (1953). The pep-talk that Dr. Rumack gives to Ted is similar to a speech in Knute Rockne, All-American (1940), about the famous coach of the Notre Dame football team (you can hear the Notre Dame fight song as Dr. Rumack talks to Ted). You commented on the voice of the patient who thinks he's Ethel Merman. The joke was that it actually was Ethel Merman. She was a singer and star on Broadway and in the movies, and in Airplane! she was singing her signature song, "Everything's Coming up Roses" from the musical Gypsy. Remember the scene in The Godfather where the guy wakes up with a horse's head in his bed? In Airplane!, Mrs. Oveur wakes up with an entire horse in her bed. There's a post-credits scene you may have missed. It shows the guy still waiting in the taxi. He says, "Well, I'll give him another twenty minutes, but that's it!" The actor was Howard Jarvis, a prominent California politician who's best known for a tax reform initiative that he got passed in 1978. Thanks for this fun reaction!

[@BigTroyT]

In the 1970s, "disaster movies" were a big thing, and they kicked off with a movie called Airport in 1971, which was, as you'd imagine, about a plane that was about to crash. There were several sequels, plus a half-dozen other disaster movies, such as The Towering Inferno. Airplane! is a spoof of these movies. One thing that isn't as obvious is that all of the older male major characters were all "heavies" - actors who ALWAYS did very serious roles, and they all had 20-25 year-long careers playing spies, doctors, lawyers, detectives, and bad guys, but ALWAYS serious, so it was HILARIOUS to see these guys in a comedy, especially because they played their roles "straight", which was what made it so funny. They said and did all these ridiculous things, but they never cracked a smile or were anything less than serious. In particular, this is the movie that started Leslie Nielson's comedy career - in his late 50s when most actors were retiring - and he went on to do comedies for another 20+ years! Speaking of Leslie Nielson, his first movie role was playing the starship captain in the 1956 Sci-Fi movie Forbidden Planet. You need to react to that movie - it is IMO the best Sci-Fi movie that existed until 2001: A Space Odyssey in 1969. Even the special effects are decent by today's standards, and FAR better than any other Sci-Fi movie until 2001. It's based on Shakespeare's "The Tempest", and it's just incredibly well done. Plus, it's great to see where Leslie Nielson got his start, playing, of course, a very serious role. The co-pilot here, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, was a VERY popular and well-known professional basketball player in the late 70s/early 80s. In the movie, he pretends not to be himself, and only the little boy recognizes him, and makes him give himself away when he tells Kareem about his dad's criticisms, which prompts Kareem to respond. Then, when he gets food poisoning and passes out, you see him wearing the protective goggles he always wore playing basketball, after having a serious eye injury. Those goggles became something of a trademark for him when he was still playing basketball, and were a confirmation to the audience that, yes, this was, for sure, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Another great reaction. Many of the jokes don't resonate today because they were based on then-current memes. For example, there was a well known coffee commercial where the husband asks for a second cup of coffee, and the wife thinks "Funny, Jim never asks for a second cup at home," since she isn't using the right brand. 😏 The two black men were speaking "jive," an exaggerated form of black urban slang. It's a dialect like Cockney. The joke there is that the older white lady is Barbara Billingsley, the mother from Leave It to Beaver (1957-1963), a famous tv show that was about as white bread, suburban middle class as you can get. You never even saw black folks on that show.

Also, the 2 black guys are speaking Jive, and that's a real thing, an actual vernacular popular at one time. The lady who offers to interpret is the mother from the TV show Leave it to Beaver, which is genius since her character of June Cleaver was as whitewashed as possible.

[@Ambaryerno]

Such a CLASSIC. One thing about this movie that's often lost on younger audiences is that a BIG part of the humor of Airplane! is based on the fact that Lloyd Bridges, (father of Jeff Bridges) Leslie Nielsen, and Robert Stack were, at the time, best known as dramatic actors. Seeing them in a comedy was UNHEARD of. In fact, Nielsen and Bridges both gained something of a career resurgence from this film by making the switch to comedy. Nielsen is probably better known now for the Naked Gun series (also by Zucker Abrams Zucker) than his past dramatic roles, while Bridges also appeared in later ZAZ productions Hot Shots and Hot Shots Part Deux. The entire film is also practically a shot-for-shot remake of an earlier film called Zero Hour!. The difference is that what Zero Hour! played for drama, Airplane! used to set up comedy. Airplane! also established the ZAZ formula of creating laughs by having characters react completely seriously, with the comedy built AROUND them in the background. The arguing PAs at the beginning of the film are played by real airport PAs who happen to be married in real life. There's a LOT of humor here that would be quite dated today. IE the deluge of religious panhandlers at the airport is something you wouldn't see today. And many of the characters (Kareem Abdul Jabar and Florence Henderson speaking jive) are dependent on knowing who the actors are to fully understand the jokes being made (Florence Henderson, AKA Carol Brady of the Brady Bunch, speaking jive is just INHERENTLY funny). When they show the dramatic pan across the instrument panel and show AAAAAAALL those gauges that is NOT just something they threw together as a joke. That's the actual instrument cluster of a 747 of that type from the late-70s. Another great ZAZ film is Top Secret!, starring Val Kilmer, which you absolutely have to check out. They also did Hot Shots! and Hot Shots! Part Deux with Charlie Sheen.

Airplanes like that one do not have hood. The weather radar system is in there. The captain gives his gas card to the attendant through the window and the attendant runs it through a device that uses carbon paper to make an imprint of the numbers - this is why credit cards have raised letters on the front, to enable the imprint process, the actual transaction would take place later. This was, to be fair, somewhat archaic when this was made, but the shuck-shick sound was very familiar to audiences. The customer signed the bill, and got one of the copies.

There is a Sequel! This style of comedy unfortunately seems to have had its day, some great ones to watch are Any Mel Brooks the King of Satire and Parody! As for the Horse scene, there is an English expression "Hung like a horse" - need I say more!!

End credits if you didn't see. the guy is still in the cab.

[@KillerF0x]

I was listening to this video while working in my garage, and when you said “that’s what she said” I burst out laughing out loud.

[@WaywardSon5]

15:20 "Do I really want to know?" No. No, you really don't. The joke is exactly what it appears to be.

[@lordwalker71]

This is a spoof of some airplane disaster movies that were made in the 70’s, they were called Airport, Airport 75, Airport 77 and Airport 79 the Concorde. The couple making the airport announcements apparently worked at the Los Angeles international airport doing the announcements and were a couple in real life. I saw this when I came out and I was 9 years old, I clearly didn’t get a lot of the sexual jokes lol. The thing the guy gave to the pilot was a machine that they used to use to take your credit card information, you would put this slip into it that had 3-4 pages with carbon paper between each sheet and then you would run the part that lives across your credit card and then numbers would be imprinted on each page and the store would keep a copy and one would be sent into the credit card company and you would get a copy, so your account wasted actually charged until the credit card company got their copy which made it easier to commit credit card fraud lol. The two black men were speaking Jive which was a slang language created by jazz musicians back in the 1930’s and it became popular in the 70’s. The woman shocked that her husband had a second cup of coffee was a reference to a famous coffee commercial from the 70’s.

[@Rampage0303]

In my country the title of this movie translated "Is there a pilot in the plane?"

[@Greenwood4727]

the "language" was Jive, a slang dialect, part o the joke is later the whitest woman who played in a classice american tv was in Leave it to beaver, someone who didnt look like they knew jive, thats why the subtitles are so different to what they were speaking

[@skyhawk-1]

"Jive Talkin" -- The Bee Gees

[@vigorousera]

The pilot named "Roger" is played by a famous basketball player from the 70s/80s, Kareem Abdul Jabaar, which is why that kid asks him if he's Kareem. Later when he's been carried off the plane, the joke is that he's revealed to be wearing parts of his basketball uniform.

[@billbill1285]

That's what she said. Was on point.

[@boomfyer89]

Dasha's a romantic incredibly cute seeing her swoon over the little love at first sight scenes 😅

[@Powerranger-le4up]

Five years before the movie, there was an actual food poisoning incident on a Japan Airlines plane. Contaminated omelets caused nearly 200 people onboard to get sick. Fortunately, they were already near their destination and the pilots were able to make an emergency landing and get everyone treated. It was by pure luck that the pilots didn’t eat the omelets. Due to their biological clocks still being on Alaska time, they had ordered steak dinners instead. The incident resulted in recommendations that the pilots and passengers be served different meals.

[@lnwolf41]

Yes, we had a smoking section on airplanes back then. There are no engine parts in the nose of the plane. The 2 black men were speaking "Jive", this was a slang language spoken in inner city by black people in 70's and early 80's. The horse in the bed "don't ask about it" 😂😂

[@BlackTyler_]

The girl who takes her coffee like her men and the pilot have you ever seen a grown man naked 😂😂😂

[@jamesoblivion]

The Red Zone and White Zone announcements were actually done by the same people who recorded the automated announcements that played in American airports at the time.

[@StevenFox80]

Call me immature but the "That's what she said" totally cracked me up XD

[@What_Makes_Climate_Tick]

Some of the jokes depend on recognizing the people. Other comments have explained about Ethel Merman, Kareen Abdul-Jabbar, and Barbara Billingsley. Other jokes are references to other movies. The dancing scene at the bar is a parody of Saturday Night Fever. The two kissing each other while waves are crashing over them is a parody of a famous scene in From Here to Eternity. The horse in bed is a reference to The Godfather, in which it's only the horse's severed head and a lot of blood. Also, editing because initially I forgot, the beginning of the opening credits is a tribute to Jaws.

[@kevandre]

Oh also you can see a young Jonathan Banks (aka Mike from breaking bad) in a couple scenes in this movie. He's the dude who opens the microwave to check on the chicken or whatever it is

[@shawbros]

21:17 "Everyone survives" Tell that to the pilots, and the guy that jumped out of the air traffic control tower, and the people that Striker told his stories to.

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

"A horse? A horse?" -> C'mon - Catherine the Great...?

[@BillTheScribe]

A lot of the jokes in this were based on things that were big in the 1970's. The dance scene was based on Saturday Night Fever. The beach scene was taken from Form Here to Eternity. Airports used to be plagued by cults trying to drum up new members, so the "have a flower" thing made a lot more sense when this came out. The part where "Jim never vomits at home" came from a coffee commercial. Disaster movies were also really big in the 1970's Earthquakes, high-rise fires, cruise ships tipping over, planes coming apart in the air. The whole movie shared a lot of scenes and even whole dialog blocks from a movie called Zero Hour. It was a serious movie. The nudity wasn't actually random. Probably. From the 1930's to the late 1960, US movies were subject to the Hayes Code. This was basically a stamp of approval that said there's nothing objectionable in the movie. Kisses that lasted more than 3 seconds were too graphic. Without that stamp of approval, most theaters wouldn't show the movie. Around 1970, someone decided to hell with the code and made a few really sexually explicit films. This was about the same times as the "free love" and sexual revolution, so young people flocked to the theaters and made the films huge successes. Theaters stopped caring about the seal of approval, and the modern rating system was born. At that point, filmmakers started using any excuse to show naked people (mostly women) to get an R rating which told audiences that it was a racy/gory one. As for the horse in the bed... Think back to 40-Year-Old Virgin...

[@1ListerofSmeg]

The next film by the same trio (Zucker Abrahams Zucker= ZAZ) of directors\writers is worth seeing. -- 'Top Secret!' Imagine a mashup of a WWII espionage film & an Elvis beach musical movie with a similar HEAPING helping of silly absurdity & Val Kilmer in his first starring role. It is my favorite film from ZAZ.😎

[@dan_hitchman007]

I just wanted to say... Good luck, Dasha! We're all counting on you!

[@TheLonMead]

The framing story for this movie was an actual movie called "Zero Hour!", with many if the lines here lifted directly from that film.

[@Arthur.H.Studio]

haha.. the strange "language" scenes were Jive talk - a sort of english slang (mostly all slang!) that developed in certain communities, and became wel-known in the 70s. btw - there are sooo many references to u.s. "culture" and media in this film..(and really perverted humor).. amazing you could still appreciated it. : )

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

And the actors wrote their own "jive" lines.

[@YouTubeIsCriminal]

2:44 Geez make me feel old. 👴 I'm not even 40 and remember those.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

8:33 "Is she a chicken?" 🐔😝🥚 No, that's an old sleight-of-hand magic trick where a magician pretends to take multiple eggs out of someone's mouth (who's also in on the trick).
