i was NOT expecting this from *AIRPLANE!* | First Time Watching REACTION

[@shadowcatreacts]

I've gotten plenty of comments about this and it's really no big deal, but I feel compelled to clarify because it's by far the most commented thing on this video lol. I know you used to be able to smoke on planes haha. The sign said "no smoking" and I misinterpreted that to mean there was no smoking whatsoever on this particular plane and so wondered why he got a smoking ticket. Again, not a big deal as far as being misunderstood goes, and lord knows I've had waaay less charitable misunderstandings. But that comment seems to have stood out to a lot of people so I just wanted to clarify! It's a part of the gig, but sometimes I'm like, "wait, no!" 😅

[@erictaylor5462]

LOL I was thinking that, but I figured that was the mistake you made, so I didn't bother commenting on it.

[@Bjy001]

[@jtoland2333]

We really can't expect you to get jokes about stuff you weren't around for. Its not fair. I guess we Gen Xers thought the world we grew up in would never change. That's why we get angry. Aaaaaaanyway, you'll probably want to watch it again, simply because there's so much going on. Ive been into this movie since 1980, and every time, even after countless views, I still see something new! 😂 Just remember, this is a movie where you don't overthink. Just accept that its absurd and silly, and roll with it. Oh, by the way, nobody said their goodbyes on the tarmac. This movie parodies lots of other genres besides disaster films. In this case, its a WW2 movie, which featured a lot of women runninh alongside the train until they couldn't.

[@neutrino78x]

@@Bjy001 they trained us how to induce it on submarines, because we sometimes have to equalize air pressure when we change depth. What you want to do is take a deep breath, then pinch your nose shut so you can't exhale through it, then attempt to do so. You should feel one pop then the other. Sometimes you have to do it more than once. I think it's called the visalva maneuver, but don't quote me on that part. 🙂

[@HenryCabotHenhouse3]

The second cup of coffee wasn't because they were fighting, there was a commercial for Yuban coffee at the time where the couple was out and he asked for a second cup with the voice over "Funny, Jim never wants ..." The actress in this film is the same one from the commercial. Also the voices arguing about the red and white zones are actually the same people who recorded the LAX announcements in the 70's so anyone who went to the Los Angeles airport would have heard those exact voices (sans arguing about the abortion). The woman who spoke jive was the mother on the sitcom Leave it to Beaver, about a very 50's nuclear family. Hearing her speak jive brought the house down.

[@Roddy556]

She took the jive bit seriously. The two gentleman wrote her lines and she worked closely with them to fine tune her performance.

Last year I had to go to the ER. The nurse asked what my problem was and I said I had a problem with my bowels. She asked "What is it?" and I couldn't resist. I said, "It's a long tube inside you where your food goes, but that's not important right now." totally deadpan. The look on her face was a slowly rising delight and she started laughing. She said she couldn't believe that had just happened. Turned out she had just seen the movie the night before with her boyfriend. How cool is that, you use a joke from a 40 year old movie, and the person you say it to just happened to see the movie the night before? Before this movie Leslie Neilson was a very well known dramatic actor, but he had always wanted to do comedy. He'd already been well known for 40 years at this point, and this was his first comedic role. After this, everything he did was comedic. This movie had quite a few well known actors performing outside their typecast. The woman who spoke Jive played Beaver's mom in Leave it to Beaver, a wholesome, extremally whitebeard role. Another thing, this movie is nearly a line-for line remake of a movie not meant to be funny, though it was, called Zero Hour!.

One of the _real_ beauties about this movie is the way it rewards repeat viewings. The jokes come at you so fast, you don't _catch_ 'em all, the first time. Indeed, you don't catch 'em all the second time, either. And after you've gotten a joke you missed the first time, it changes the way the movie _looked_ the first time.

When the pilot is talking with the Mayo clinic.....there are jars of mayonnaise on the shelves behind him. I never thought about it before, but someone the other day mentioned that the jet sounded like a prop plane. Also, the Zuckers didn't want all comedians to play the roles, so he filled the movie with actors who never did any comedy before. They were told to just play it straight which made the jokes even funnier. The doctor was played by Leslie Nielsen. This was his first comedic role, but then went on to play nothing but comedic roles from the TV show Police Squad, The Naked Gun movies, Dracula, Dead and Loving It..... I was 15 when this came out and my friends and I went to the theater to go see it. I still laugh at the jokes to this day. Great video!

30:40 "I have a new catchphrase" They hired these guys based on their ability to speak in the most obtuse, inscrutable slang they could improv, but because it has been imortalized in this movie, now multiple generations of movie fans are familiar with phrases like "Cut me some slack, Jack!" and "Chump don't want no help, chump don't get the help!"

[@manutgop]

The woman translating was Barbara Billingsley, who played the mother on the very popular 1950s sitcom "Leave it to Beaver". She played a very wholesome suburban mother on that show and that was her most famous role, so the gag was her speaking "jive" and talking trash.

[@MGower4465]

The two jive guys improvised every line. They were told what the subtitles were going to say and let go to make their dialog. The older white woman was coached by the two men in her lines, delivery, and body language, and the three stayed friends after shooting just because they had so much fun.

Spoof comedy. These films are always crossing boundries. Nothing is safe. And it's usually pretty hilarious. Airplane is probably on the A-list of this type.

I was 14 when this came out. It's definitely iconic in comedies from that era.

[@gmunden1]

This film is filled with cultural references from the 50's, 60's, and 70s, including TV commercials. To fully understand some of the scenes, it would be helpful to watch the films it parodies: "Airport," "The Poseiden Adventure," "Towering Inferno," "From Here to Eternity," Zero Hour," and more.The lead cast includes actors from major films and TV shows: "The Untouchables," "Mission Impossible," "The Bold Ones," Barbara Billingsley plays the mother June Cleaver on "Leave it to Beaver." In this film, she plays against character as the jive-talking passenger. Actor Leslie Nielsen was a classically trained actor and did not do comedy until the 70's. The Japanese WWII officer is famous veteran actor James Hong. He stars in "Kung Fu Panda" and "Everything Everywhere All at Once." The Hari Krishna panhandlers were known for hanging around airports in the 60's and 70's until they were banned. The husband requesting a second cup of coffee is a parody of a 1960's Yuban Coffee commercial. Again, you need to have some knowledge of these classic films and cultural references to get some of the jokes.

[@Parker8752]

There are a couple of bits that didn't age too well, but you'd absolutely be able to make a film like this today. Unfortunately, that involves taking a risk, and Hollywood is incredibly risk averse. Tastes change though, and it's ok that "this guy is effeminate", or "this guy is gay" aren't considered funny punchlines any more unless you do something with them (like how in The Pink Panther Strikes Again, the butler turns out to be a drag queen, but Clouseau is the butt of the joke).

25:19 "Can you fly this plane and _land_ it?" "Surely, you can't be _serious?"_ "I _am_ serious. And don't call me 'Shirley.'" That's Leslie Nielsen. This was the movie that first established him as a deadpan-humor actor for which demonstrated a unique talent. Prior to this, he played _dramatic_ roles. You have to look back a ways in his filmography for solid evidence he was not born with grey hair, but from this movie on, just about _every_ movie he was in was a movie in which he played a character that did and said the most _hilarious_ things, but evidently unaware they were absurd, and this made them even funnier.

[@mildredpierce4506]

It is said that there is a joke every 10 seconds in this movie. The movie is over 40 years old so it’s understandable when young people don’t get some of the jokes because it references so many things from pop culture of the day and earlier like Ethel Merman. Young people are not going to know who she is. There are some young people who don’t know who Kareem Abdul Jabar is either so they didn’t recognize him and didn’t know he was a basketball player in real life. Prior to Airplane, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Robert Stack and Leslie Nielsen were all dramatic actors. This was their first comedy. “Airplane! (alternatively titled Flying High!)[5] is a 1980 American parody film written and directed by the brothers David and Jerry Zucker, and Jim Abrahams in their directorial debuts,[6] and produced by Jon Davison. It stars Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty and features Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Lorna Patterson.[6] It is a parody of the disaster film genre, particularly the 1957 Paramount film Zero Hour!, from which it borrows its plot and central characters,[7] also drawing many elements from Airport 1975 and other films in the Airport series. It is known for its use of surreal humor and fast-paced slapstick comedy, including visual and verbal puns, gags, running jokes, and obscure humor.”

I'm not going to say this was the first, but a leader of this parody style with a large ensemble cast of notable actors. Based on the serious 'Airport' movie, another good example is seen recently in the Scary Movie franchise poking fun at the horror genre. As time passes and reactions are easier to find this, like Blazing Saddles are a good litmus test of one's humor. Other examples to follow would be 1981's Cannonball Run which is Jackie Chan's first American movie I believe. Burt Reynold's movies also seemed to have outtakes woven into the end credits frequently.

Some jokes were funnier if you knew the actor selected. Capt. Oveur, Capt. Kramer, McCrosky on the ground and the doctor were action actors famous from '60s show and movies. They were not known for comedy told to just act like it was a serious film. The jive talking old lady was the mom from "Leave It To Beaver" the whitest mom of 1950's television. Hospital lady really was Ethel Merman, one of the most famous old Broadway actresses singing her best song. The reason the guys were sick and afraid of guitar nun because tthat was Maureen McGovern who won two Oscars for songs in disaster movies "The Poseiden Adventure" (in 1972), "The Towering Infernor" (in 1974) .

[@michaelfisher1395]

Very, very, very loosely inspired by "Airport '75." The people doing the airport announcements and arguing were the real people who did the announcements at LAX and were also an actual married couple. The passenger in the cab was a well-known businessman in California who spent years lobbying to reign in government spending. He was not an actor. It's obscure, but the joke is that he just sat there and let the fare go up without doing anything while he himself spent years hammering at government spending in California. You'd probably had to have been from California at the time to know who he was, as well as the airport announcers. Peter Graves (pilot), Leslie Neilson (doctor), Lloyd Bridges (air traffic controller), and Robert Stack (pilot in tower) were all very famous and legendary serious dramatic actors of the time. None had done any real comedy. Having them in this movie playing "straight men" and saying and doing ridiculous things was absolutely hysterical! Peter Graves was the lead actor in the original "Mission Impossible" television series. Lloyd Bridges was the father of actors Beau Bridges and Jeff Bridges. They begged him to do this movie to see him in such funny situations and doing such ridiculous lines. Robert Stack was in the original "The Untouchables" television series. They all had long lists of credits in many great roles, but this was a first for them and led to many more comedy roles. Lloyd Bridges was even in a few episodes of "Seinfeld" toward the end of his life. Hearing Peter Graves saying things like "You ever seen a grown man naked" to a kid was very funny back then and NOT taken seriously! The woman who says her husband never has a second cup of coffee at home was the actual actress who did coffee commercials in the 70's and that was her catch phrase. I think it was for Folgers Coffee. This bits with the black guys talking jive were all a set up for the punchline of the older white woman talking it back to them. They wrote their own lines, by the way. The woman who talks jive to them was Barbara Billingsly. She played June Cleaver in the 1950's TV show "Leave It To Beaver." She was the quintessential and clichéd example of a white middleclass housewife and mother. The horse in bed with the pilot's wife may be a reference to "The God Father," but I'm not sure. When Robert Stack is driving to the airport, all the stuff you see in the background is sort of making fun of the bad special effects up till that time. The background when people were driving was often SO fake and ridiculous looking that it could distract the audience from the lines being said. Kareem Abdul Jabaar demanded to be seen in his basketball uniform at some point in order to do the movie. Much of this is mentioned in the trivia for the movie on IMDB.

39:00 They call it "brace position" and they will tell you what to do before an emergency landing. If there is no time to tell you, well, it won't matter anyway. That said, you will most likely survive if you are in a crash. The vast majority of plane crashes don't even cause any injuries. There is information out there that will say the brace position increases your chance of death, but this is nonsense. They reason that the airlines want you to die in a crash because if you're dead you can't sue. This makes no sense as the liability for the airline is much much higher if a passenger dies. *YOU* can't sue if you're dead, but your family can, and probably will.
