This Video is a re-upload thanks to a copyright pickle, with lots of new added bits, like A LOT, as to make sure you guys get a bang for your buck. Sylvan Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937!

The puns! My God, the puns! Definitely a different time, no one was safe yet everyone could laugh at themselves. The brothers speaking jive with the subtitles and needing 50s tv mom icon to interpret was just gold.

Also the woman applying makeup during the worst turbulence was Mama Zucker.

Brilliant Minty, cheers mate!

Barbara Billingsley talking jive is the funniest scene in the movie Airplane. I never thought that June Clever will jive in a comedy! Barbara Billingsley did an excellent job on that scene for sure!

Asking if Leslie may be a doctor, and then cutting to him casually wearing his stethoscope gets me every time.

The line from the woman thinking her husband Never has a 2nd cup of coffee at home Was taken from a Real commercial for a coffee brand here in the US

As a teenager living in Southern California, I took a few dates to Kentucky Fried Theater a few times. It was a hilarious skit show. "Airplane" is in my top five list of all-time great comedies, along with Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, A Fish Called Wanda, and Groundhog Day. Love this quote from Kareem's character; "The hell I don't! LISTEN, KID! I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night! Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!" Hilarious!

One of the best things Airplane 2 has is William Shatner doing a parody of William Shatner as Captain Kirk -" Oh, cut the bleeding heart crap, will ya? We've all got our switches, lights, and knobs to deal with, Striker. I mean, down here there are literally hundreds and thousands of blinking, beeping, and flashing lights, blinking and beeping and flashing - they're *flashing* and they're *beeping*. I can't stand it anymore! They're *blinking* and *beeping* and *flashing*! Why doesn't somebody pull the plug!"

Here is another title change for you: In Germany, the movie was called "The Unbelievable Journey in a Wacky Airplane".

This movie has been talked about to death and back (and for a good reason, it's a 10/10 classic) and Minty still managed to surprise me with new info. Respect, sir.

In 2010, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

One of my favorite jokes from this movie is the little boy offering coffee to the little girl how do you like your coffee the little boy says little girl says I take it black just like my men lol

Those were better days of Cinema as a Art form. RIP Frank Drebin.

I loved the flamboyant gay guy Johnny. "the fog is getting thicker! And Leon is getting lol!

One thing that I haven't seen anyone commenting is... all the external shots of the jet while flying uses a propelled airplane sound, not a jet airplane sound. And that's by purpose, I know. 😄

With a name like Flying High, I'd expect a stoner comedy. 😅

They left at least one commercial joke in the movie. I’ve noticed most reactors don’t pick up on the “never has 2 cups of coffee at home?” joke, which parodies the Folgers Coffee Company’s classic advertising at the time.

"Joey, have you ever been in a cockpit before."
"No sir, I've never been on a plane before."
"Have you ever seen a grown man naked?"
lmao
This comedy holds up even today! I've seen Airplane a hundred times and I always laugh at something.

Years back, my cousin & I memorized the entire conversation between the jive dudes. One day while waiting in a long line at Walmart, I started the conversation...hey man, that honky muff been messin my old lady.... We carried on the entire conversation while everyone just stared at us because apparently, nobody remembers Airplane! like we do!
