I had an aunt in the 80s who was a flight attendant and I remember her telling us all the story of Leslie Nielson flying with them and somewhere in the flight he asked her to open up the flight deck door for him. He peaked his head in and said his famous line, "I just want to tell you all, good luck. We're all counting on you." Apparently the pilots laughed so hard that they could be heard by the passengers. It had to have made their day.

[@VoxRox1]

That’s hilarious 🤣. Leslie Neilson was a legend and my favourite comedian actor.

[@eastmanwebb5477]

What a legendary story! Thank you for sharing.

I heard that Leslie neilson never really understood why he was funny, which led to his later movies of him just gurning at the camera.

[@garethm3242]

That's amazing. Bill Murray apparently insists on doing this joke on every flight he's on (or at least he did, maybe post 9/11 this has stopped due to restrictions - though if you're Bill Murray I guess you get more doors opened to you than the rest of us!)

[@robd9413]

Apparently this movie even has its place in airline safety. After this movie became popular, the FAA passed a ruling that pilots and co-pilots could not have the same meal in case one of the meals was contaminated. So not only is this arguably one of the funniest comedies ever, it has even potentially saved lives.

[@PCLoadLetter]

Not quite true. Airplane was a line for line remake of a B-movie 'Zero Hour'. It wss Zero Hour that triggered the meal policy.

[@robd9413]

@@PCLoadLetter Some claim it was even earlier than that, that someone thought of it about the same time as they thought having a co-pilot was a good idea, so not sure. However, the idea that it was Airplane, whether true or not, is arguably the most popular version.

[@MikeLau-d8l]

Fun fact! The airport announcers in this movie were not only the real announcers for LAX back in the day, but they were also actually a married couple IRL.

[@mattslupek7988]

The beach scene wasn’t “Grease”, it was “From Here to Eternity” with Burt Lancaster. The jive talking woman was Barbara Billingsley, who played the mom on “Leave It to Beaver”, the nun with the guitar was from “Airport”, a disaster movie, the woman whose husband had the second cup of coffee was in a commercial for Yuban Coffee where the same thing happens. Ted was wearing the same outfit that John Travolta wore in “Saturday Night Fever”. He was also wearing a navy uniform when he was supposed to be in the Air Force.

[@jethro1963]

The sister was played by Maureen McGovern, a singer of note, who most famously had a number one hit with the theme from the disaster pic The Poseidon Adventure. The song was The Morning After which she recorded and went gold but was not the singer on the movie version

[@jaquesshugossen9398]

There are so many snippets and you also have to look in the background as well. That comes somewhat more apparent if you also watch the films that came after this one in same style, such as "Top Secret", "Airplane II", Hot Shots I & II", and yes there is also "Loaded Weapon I", in case you haven't seen those. If you love Leslie, he did do The Naked Gun 1 - 3 as well as "prequel-series" of "Police Squad.

[@jamesburke1019]

Miranda, I noticed that you missed that in the 1st viewing but as we all know this film takes several watches to catch the rapid fire of jokes. I was 11 when this came out and got a lot of “street cred” by showing it to my fellow 7th graders on vhs, especially the nsfw scenes which to your credit you took in stride. This was a “kitchen sink” style of comedy that I hope makes a comeback.

[@bibby5000]

one of my fave shots of all time... and it took me a few years... so well done on getting it on your second view XD

[@robertwest4596]

Notes: 1) The beach Scene was a famous reference from the movie From Here to Eternity 2) The woman speaking Jive to the 2 Black gentleman was Barbara Billingsly who was a very famous straight-laced mother from the Leave it to Beaver television show 3) The co-pilot was Kareem Abdul Jabber who was a hall of fame basketball player with the LA Lakers 4) Leslie Neilsen was the doctor and his performance in this movie gave him a springboard to the Naked Gun series of movies, which are also incredibly funny.

[@tracikdoddy]

Additional notes: 5) The couple arguing over the PA system about red zone/white zone parking were married in real life and actually made those announcements at the airport (not the arguing part though...LOL) 6) The Hare Krishna were a huge problem trying to solicit donations and recruit at LAX 7) When the woman is saying to herself that her husband never has a second cup of coffee at home, it is from a famous Yuban coffee commercial back in the day 8) and yes, there was a smoking section at the back of the plane There is so much more, but so glad that you enjoyed one of the best movies around and got the comedy.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

The Kareem joke was that at that time he was taking so much flack from his fans about not making enough effort that he had to go into hiding, disguising himself as an airline pilot.

[@0okamino]

Yeah, Barbara Billingsly was a lot more hip than people might have expected, while also a pretty genuinely wholesome lady.

[@JeanDumas24601]

"George Zipp" is a play on the name "George Gipp", The famous line :"win just one for the Gipper" became "win just one for the Zipper". The full story of the line is too long, but short version is that the line was used by a famous football back in the 1920s to motivate his team. Most people knew the line because of a 1940s movie about the coach. It's the quintessential "Go for it line" for people of my parent generation. To put my previous sentence in perspective, I'm in my mid 50s.

[@Phlogiston2312]

Also one thing that you got to remember is that Leslie Nielsen has done a lot of movies I think he's a movie called Forbidden Planet or he did some different movies with different actors he was in actually move a show called Murder She Wrote and he was a strait-laced actor. That's why he's so funny this movie cuz he plays everything so serious even though it's completely silly

[@arieltovah3989]

I knew I’d found gold on my first date with my now husband because of this movie. It was the day Leslie Neilson (who played the doctor) died. All day people were saying he died and id say “surely you can’t be serious” and they all answered, “ yeah, I am”. It was very frustrating. Then I went on my date. He said, “did you hear Leslie Neilson died?” I responded, “surely you can’t be serious,” and he said, “I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley.” I was in love. 😍😍

[@t0dd000]

"I take it black, like my men." So epic. I can only imagine the conversation they had with that young actress about what she was about to say.

[@Raged_Consumer]

This movie changed Leslie Nielson's career from a serious actor to a dead pan comedy genius. My favourite line/quote of his is from Police Squad (which became the basis for The Naked Gun) is "We're sorry to bother you at a time like this, Mrs. Twice. We would have come earlier, but your husband wasn't dead then."

[@mattmid7012]

My favourite line too! Such a brilliant series.

[@TheNascarfan999]

Not only Leslie, but the cast as a whole was not made up of comedy actors which I think helped the point about how did they not crack up doing the scene because they were either serious actors or non-actors at all in the case of people like Ethel and Kareem. I believe there's something like 200 total jokes/gags/bits in the movie and many of them are not going to be recognized by modern audiences given the movie is over 40 years old. The only other thing I will say is you didn't show any of the taxi scenes and that makes me think you didn't see the post-credits scene.

[@curtismartin2866]

Who are you? And how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith and...... I'm a locksmith 😂

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

That is true. I do like him in "Forbidden Planet," but dead pan comedy was his strength because he was emotive. Nielson's screen tests for the role of Messala in "Ben-Hur," are funny only in retrospect.

One thing that I think often gets overlooked when watching Airplane is that it occurred after a series of increasingly silly and over-the-top disaster movies (Towering Inferno, Earthquake, Poseidon Adventure, Airport '77, and many more). But after Airplane, it became no longer possible to produce disaster movies in the same vein (no more singing nuns, sick children, etc.), because no one could take them seriously any more. Airplane effectively changed the entire genre for the better.

The bones of the movie are an older film called Zero Hour. There's a video on KZbin that shows how they added lines and changed the context of certain scenes to make the scenes funny. Leslie Nielsen is remembered mostly for his comedies but this was his first comedy. He and many of the other leads had careers in disaster films or other serious dramas and they were told to play it entirely straight. Kareem Abdul-Jabaar was cast because they were riffing on the casting of a football player as one of the pilots in Zero Hour. The coffee scene in Zero Hour featured adults and didn't have the "like my men" line. You didn't pick up on June Cleaver as the jive lady. And the airport announcers were the real life voices of LAX at the time, and were a couple.

The "Don't Call Me Shirley" is possibly the single most well-known quote of any movie ever made, although a lot of people I'm sure don't realize that it originated here. The reason it worked was because Leslie Neilsen wasn't known for comedy, and it was because of this small role that made him into one of the most well-known comedic actors. This movie changed what was possible and acceptable for comedy movies, (and is stellar,) although in some ways Airplane II was the real defining moment for comedy history. It took everything that was great about this first one, and somehow expanded on it, both interweaving and making fun of the first movie at the same time. You can't even really explain any of the movie without spoilers. I believe it was the first sequel to ever attempt what it did, and still to this date, possibly the most successfully done one. If you liked this movie at all, then Airplane II is an absolute must.

Hi Miranda! The movie "Airplane" was based on an actual dramatic movie called "Zero Hour." It was from the 1950s, and in some parts of Airplane copies Zero Hour word for word, so much so that the producers bought the rights to Zero Hour so they could use it in their movie. PS. Watch the credits to the end. You'll find out what happened to the guy in the taxi.

[@jethro1963]

Arthur Hailey was the author of the book Airport, which many people mistakenly thought the film Airport was the basis for Airplane. Before Zero Hour (1957), however was Hailey's script for a CBC TV drama called Flight into Danger (1956) which more or less was adapted into Zero Hour. In Flight into Danger, Hailey created the template for future disaster films. As an aside, a young James Doohan of Star Trek fame starred in Flight into Danger.

The guy in the taxi was Howard Jarvis, famous for California Proposition 13, that slashed taxes

[@rafaucett]

Great reaction, Miranda! 👍 *A little obscure trivia:* The guy sitting in the taxi was Howard Jarvis. From Wiki: "Howard Arnold Jarvis was an American businessman, lobbyist, and politician. He was a tax policy activist responsible for passage of California's Proposition 13 in 1978." At the time, he was well-known in California but probably not as much so in the rest of the USA. The joke in the movie is that he was for fiscal responsibility in government but he sat passively in the taxi letting the fare get larger and larger. Even at the time, I think a lot of people didn't get the joke or recognize Jarvis. BTW, The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association still exists. Cheers! 🙂

[@gsparkman]

You are the person I know of that has recognized Jarvis. This particular joke is why I tell younger, or non-Californians, that the film is “of its time” and you had too be there to catch all the clever references and brilliant casting.

My favorite is still conversation between the pilot and Joey. A little trivia- Actor Peter Graves who played the pilot was scared to death he would get arrested for that scene. He actually feared that when the director said cut, he would be arrested. He was humiliated by the scene. He didnt want to attend the screening. He was afraid the audience would be horrified and that his career would be over. He couldn't believe the laughs it got from the audience. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This film is a gem! SO much humor packed into every second, like you said! A LOT of wordplay, puns, double meanings, etc. A lot of slapstick, physical humor. A lot of absurdist, surrealist humor. A lot of topical, cultural references of its era! Name drops, personality references, actors acting out of "type" (like Kareem Abdul Jabbar- if someone is not familiar with him as a basketball superstar, then the whole discussion about him being a pilot, rather than himself, is largely lost. Or like Barbara Billingsley- the jive-talking old woman: it's funny that a white lady should be speaking jive to the two black guys ("Jive" itself being a relatively outdated form of African American slang; slang terminology has changed over the years), but when you grew up in the 1950s with her playing June Cleaver, the mom on "Leave it to Beaver,: one of the most white-bread, suburban shows ever- her jive talk becomes that much more hilarious). If someone doesn't know who Ethel Merman is, the idea of some guy in an army hospital being a singing older woman may be silly, but not a gut belly laugh. But if you KNOW who she is (as you do), that whole joke lands solid, for a terrific laugh out loud moment! The scene in his flashback, when he first met Elaine: VERY much a take on the then-recent "Saturday Night Fever," from the music to the dance to his outfit to him throwing his jacket. So it is very interesting to see people of different generations enjoying this film: some jokes land on different levels, depending on the cultural reference and social touch-points with which one is familiar. And other jokes are more or less universal, like all the puns and sight gags and slapstick! That's a big part of what makes this film so timely and timeless at once, and why it remains such a classic!

Here’s one very old reference that a lot of younger watchers might not get. The speech near the end, when the Doctor inspires Ted to go land plane, is a parody of an actual event that was made even more famous in a movie, “Knute Rockne, All American.” Rockne was the famous coach of Notre Dame’s historic football team. They had a star athlete, George Gipp, who later on his deathbed at 25 gave that speech to Rockne (“Some time, Rock, when the team is up against it, when things are wrong and the breaks are beating the boys, ask them to go in there with all they've got and win just one for the Gipper. I don't know where I'll be then, Rock. But I'll know about it, and I'll be happy."). Rockne made that speech to the team at halftime of a crucial game a few years later and they won. That moment was made famous in the movie I mentioned above, and the music under the scene is the Notre Dame fight song, that goes from inspirational and swells to glorious. The guilt over the death of a pilot named George Zipp is a joke that takes the whole movie to pay off!

[@johng482]

5:22 most of the reactors I’ve seen had a similar reaction to the idea of smoking on airplanes. It was quite common. I remember my dad (who was a million miler on Delta -even considering he preferred Eastern when they were still around) complaining because he got stuck in the smoking section of the airplane in a cross country trip. He was really happy when airlines in the U.S. were forced to go smoke free.

[@EvilAng3la]

I'm starting to theorize that the Zucker brothers - with things like Airplane and The Naked Gun - may have been the ones that created modern "dad humor". The movie is just chock full of things we now consider dad humor, and it's the timing makes sense for being present for an entire generation in a way to influence their sense of humor.

The actor playing the doctor, Leslie Nielsen, had been in serious roles since the 1950's and this was his first comedic role. He proved so popular that got his own show (Police Squad that lasted for 6 episodes) and later a movie inspired by the show, The Naked Gun that came out in 1988. Since then till his death (in 2010) he became a comedy icon known for his dry delivery of the most random and outrageous things and the guy is genuinely funny. Do watch The Naked Gun (the first one is the best but 2 and 3 are funny too). It's by the same team who made airplane so if you loved that movie, you'll love The Naked Gun. Another film by the Zucker brothers that is as good as airplane and the naked gun is the 1984 Top Secret starring Val Kilmer in his first role. Joke for joke, Top Secret might be their best movie.

I am so glad you reacted to this! It is considered by many to be the top comedy of all time. The way they pulled off the perfect deliveries was a genius idea: Almost all of the actors are dramatic heavy actors! That allowed them to deliver absolutely silly lines in silly situations with the utmost seriousness. Leslie Neilson (The Doctor) was so perfect at it it launched an entire career in comedy for him. The only traditional comedic stuff comes from the character of Johnny (Played by comedian Stephen Stucker) who was allowed to ad lib most of his lines, because he was long time friends with the writers/producers, and they knew that if they just set him up to interact at certain timings, his improv would be pure gold.

And you're about the only reactor who's been smart enough to realize when the doctor is pulling the eggs out of her mouth he's parodying a magician (and it's actually meant as a putdown of/joke about the skiils of doctors). The give away is that instead of 'a rabbit out of a hat' or 'a dove out of a sleeve', he's 'cracking the egg to release a bird' in his sleight of hand magic act. But in the 'Stayin' Alive' dance sequence, he's imitating and making fun of John Travolta's character from the movie "Saturday Night Fever', not one of the BeeGees. The beach scene isn't imitating Grease, it's a paraody of the famous beach love scene in the movie 'From Here To Eternity'. The whole 'Jim never drinks a second cup at home' "Jim never vomits at home" is making fun of a famous actual coffee commercial in the late seventies that you'd see over and over on TV at the time where the actress plays a housewife is thinking to herself about her choice of a better coffee brand for her husband.

Another thing about Airplane! is that unlike most comedies, they didn't want the lines delivered in a "jokey" manner, they were played "straight" (which makes the goofy humor even more incongruous), and hired a bunch of actors previously known for "serious" roles (such as Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, and Leslie Nielsen).

It's amazing how relentless it is with the jokes!! During the editing process they'd screen it at universities, and take a tape recorder with them to record the audience reactions. When they'd play the tape back, if there was a long gap or a joke with no laughs, they'd cut that part out of the film. It gave them some issues with the running time in the end, but the pace leaves you breathless with laughter! One of the most brilliant comedies out there! So glad you loved it!
