Also apparently the reason he was chosen for the movie was because the movie they were parodying (Zero Hour!) had a football player as pilot (Elroy Hirsch).

[@MrMeraby]

As another has said, the woman speaking Jive was the quintessential mother on a late 1950s, early 1960s show, "Leave it to Beaver." She was the prototypical mother in White America. So, to have her speak Jive was an absolute shock and completely hilarious. Also, she tells the story that the two black men wrote most of the script for the Jive part. Since she didn't know how to speak Jive, the three of them went out for lunch or dinner and spent the time getting to know each other and teaching her Jive. She has very fond memories of the two young men.

The woman who spoke jive was an actress who also played the wife in the 1950's sitcom "Leave It To Beaver" about the quintessentially wholesome American family, and she was the last person anyone would ever expect to be able to speak jive.

YES! I love the humour of this film, so many good one-liners. Fun Fact: The white haired actor Leslie Nielsen, actually wanted to be in a serious role but the directors found his deadpan voice so funny that they cast him in comedies and just told him to "Try to act as serious as possible"

[@maxducoudray]

You should’ve specified the doctor, since Peter Graves (who played the pilot) also has white hair. 🙃

[@Logan_Baron]

It wasn't so much that Leslie Nielson wanted to be in serious roles. He WAS cast in serious roles and was known as a serious actor up until this point. That was part of what was funny to people. Many of the actors in this were known for serious roles (Leslie, Peter Graves, Kirk Douglas.....). it was here that Leslie Nielsen found his true calling for comedy.

A big part of what made this movie so fun back when it was released was that most, if not all, of the main actors and some side actors usually only did drama or action, not comedy. It was pretty surreal to see them doing comedy.

[@christophersullivan6842]

A lot of people think this is a parody of the "Airport" disaster movies of the 70's, when actually it is almost scene for scene parody of the 1957 drama "Zero Hour."

[@thegorn68]

There's so many dated and underlying jokes in this movie that Millennials and younger audiences can't possibly appreciate because of the time gap. Even more so if you are watching from another country. One example is the older woman who "speaks jive" to the black guys is Barbara Billingsley. The audience in 1980 would all know that she played June Cleaver in the 1950's T.V. show "Leave It To Beaver". She was the epitome of the white, suburban, nuclear family house wife who wore a dress and pearls just to vacuum the house and clean the kitchen. The notion that she, of all people, can speak JIVE just made the scene that much more hilarious.

[@jimhsfbay]

Most of the young Airplane reactors have no clue who Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is or that the dive bar scene is a direct Saturday Night Fever parody. The really obscure stuff is the beach scene as a parody of From Here to Eternity and Ethel Merman. Yes, yes they used to allow smoking on airplanes and especially on long flights it was truly horrible & terrible.

[@Lugnut64052]

Yes, a lot of the humor is topical to the time it was made. At least 50% of the jokes fly right over the Millennial's heads. Same could be said for Blazing Saddles too. Barbara Billingsley is a good example of someone playing a completely different, shock role. It was absolutely hilarious at the time the film was made. Same could be said for Lloyd Bridges and Robert Stack; both of whom were serious, long-careered actors.

Some cultural references are a product of their times... There are references in movies now that go over my head, because I'm supposed to know a certain pop music artist, and I have no idea... Same back then. I don't think Duaffy got the joke when the kid thought the copilot was a "famous basketball player" either.

@@markreed3202 The commercial was for Yuban coffee - a brand a lot of people forget exists, I certainly did until my brother bought some a few years back. The actress was the same actress from the commercial. The funny thing is that the casting people didn't know she was the actress from the commercial the gag was referencing.

My favorite bit, which I use variants of all the time in real life is the whole "There's a problem in the cockpit.", "The cockpit! What is it?" "It's the room at the front of the plane where the pilots sit, but that isn't important right now."

[@crimsonda]

There is never a point in this movie where you are serious. You just watch and laugh at whichever thing makes you laugh because, this is just a silly, random funny movie. Nudity was no issue, race was no issue, it was just meant to make you laugh and have fun.

One of the best comedies ever =D Being "On instruments" is what they did before GPS. literally using a Compass. Airspeed, Attitude and, Altitude indicators. A bunch of Trigonometry later they knew exactly where they where. Crazy how much we take GPS for granted these days.

The recent western obsession with criminalizing nudity doesn't make sense to me. Nudity can be funny, especially when it's unexpected.

Welcome to the 1970's, when comedy was full of a wide range of topics to be made fun of, nothing was out of bounds, including religion, race and politics. And people understood it for what it was, and weren't offended by it.

[@pennie2387]

Yeah. Everyone knew their place. If you were a minority by race or sexuality or anything else, you'd know to shut up and not say anything from your perspective or there'd be harsh consequences for you. People always gloss over the oppression.

@@martinmayhew145 Made in nineteen EIGHTY, more than likely started filming in 1979, meaning it's full of 70s and earlier references. It can hardly have much references to the 80s, though it did contribute its part to defining the 80s.

The 70's was the decade of the blockbuster disaster film. One of them was "Airport". which involved a bomb going off in a plane and their efforts to land. It was followed by four sequels. This spoof came out as the sequels ran their course and nearly turned into jokes as well.
