This was Leslie Nielsen's comedy debut, before this he was just a 'serious actor', this is the movie that got him to break into comedy, which of course led to the Naked Gun
One of the jokes of this movie when it came out was that Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Peter Graves and Lloyd Bridges were all in it. None of them had ever done comedy before and were known for "serious" roles. Neilsen was pretty much typecast as a villain for much of his career.
Also this lead to Leslie Neilson starring in the tv series Police Squad which was created and produced by the directors of Airplane. It only lasted 1 season. Then in the early 90s they turned the show into The Naked Gun films.
Kudos for noticing Robert Stack stepping through the mirror. Everyone misses that. Sad that "Ham on 5, hold the Mayo", "First time? No, I've been nervous lots of times.", "Let's get some pictures", "At least I have a husband", and the after credits scene didn't make the cut.
This movie is a near shot for shot remake of a movie from the 50s called "Zero Hour!". The directors were afraid that they might get sued for copying it, so they bought the film rights for about 200,000 dollars. The people who owned it didn't care much about it, since the movie was long forgotten. They also use a lot of the same lines, but Leslie Nielsen just makes them sound funnier.
Everyone should check out the video(s) comparing the two movies. It's remarkable -- they pull exact lines from the original and make them funny. Comic genius.
It is worth noting that they were likely safe because in the US, parody is considered part first amendment free speech and is protected under free use laws.
They pretty much went through the entire movie, shot-by-shot and tried to find a way to turn _every single one_ of them into a joke, and to turn every serious line into the setup for a punchline.
@@SpiderandMosquito The problem was that it was shot for shot. They might have lost a lawsuit calling this plagiarism instead if put with a hardline judge. They didn't want to risk it. Also Fair Use and Parody was weaker back in the time this was made. A parody film with Disney-like characters doing un-Disney things got shot down only a few years prior.
The wife thinking her husband never has coffee at home (and the follow up extensions on it) is a reference to a line of coffee commercials that ran back then.
I'm reminded that the further we get away from when these types of movies are made, the more jokes that we'll get lost to time, especially if the comments section of sites like this aren't archived or are allowed to fade away. I remember when me and my best friend saw Scary Movie in the theaters, we counted all the film, television, and commercial references. If I watch that today, I'm sure I've already forgotten all but two of the commercial parodies and probably half of the film and TV show references.
I heard that the most expensive prop in this film was the fish skeleton. For some reason they just struggled to find one. Good news, the situation in this film has never happened. The pilot and co-pilot have different meals prepped in different kitchens, specifically to prevent it
The airport announcers at the beginning did the announcements at LAX and were also married Irl And keep in mind that this movie is rated PG, because PG-13 didn't existence yet
There were so many airplane disaster movies out at this time. This was the movie that put them all to rest. Just like Ghostbusters did to all the spook movies of the time. There is a tendency of, when movies start taking themselves way too seriously, that a comedic gem will appear to bring everyone back down to the reality that they are meant to be entertainment.
According to a quick search, it was a '92 Supreme Court hearing that ultimately put a stop to the 'would you like a flower?' guys, following an '88 state case. So at the time of movie, yeah they were everywhere and /abysmally/ aggravating.. 10 years or so later and it was almost a full on blanket ban.
They (Hare Krishna) tried an alternative where they had young men with short haircuts try to rizz you up into buying a pamphlet, but it really felt more like they were trying to lure you to another location. It didn't last long.
@@JRSiebz They were mostly the "Children of God", their founder was named Moses David (Real name David Moses). They were in airports, malls, and anywhere else where people gathered.
27:00 The 'eggs in the mouth' is a well known magic trick, she has something that looks like the end of an egg which she pushes with her tongue, while the actual egg is hidden in the hand of the magician so he seems to take it out of the mouth. They do three '...What is it...but that's not important right now.' jokes. 26:19 I think it's 113 dollars 30, not 11 thousand dollars, he's been a while, but not that long. There are jokes hidden in the credits and a post-credits scene with the guy still in the taxi. The sequel is kind of more of the same style, William (Captain Kirk) Shatner is in it.
Fun facts: They originally wanted Pete Rose for the pilot but they filmed during baseball season. The guy who wrote the song the stewardess plays for the girl, River of Jordan, regretted giving permission as he disliked how the song was used. Robert Stsck did his own stunts. The actor who plays the guy who gets Kramer later served as a producer on Snakes on a Plane. Johnny's lines are improvised. He was merely told the previous line.
I remember a Christian preacher was trying to hand out flyers for a local church when I was university. I politely heard him out cause he wasn't being pushy about it and he got super excited when he found out we have the same name like it was a sign from God. I hope he's doing well in life 😅.
the "I speak Jive" woman is Barbara Billingsly- she played the mom on "Leave it to Beaver." That is the joke: get the whitest person from the whitest show and have them play against two black guys.
The singing stewardess and the sick girl were both from the tv series The Love Boat … once the girl arrived on The Love Boat, they played most of their scenes together on that show
Old airplane headphones were a lot like stethoscopes. There were two tiny speakers in the armrest, that you plugged the headrest into. The technology for tiny speakers wasn't too advanced, and it would have potentially been expensive to distribute earphones with speakers, knowing that some might break or go missing. The method worked surprisingly well. There were certain religious groups that actually sold flowers at airports as a fundraiser, and others that gave them out free. They were typically tulips, wrapped in wax paper. Airports used to be rather public places, with metal detectors near the gate area as the only security.
They were also the movies that introduced Leslie Nielsen to comedy. He had a 30 year career as a dramatic actor before he was in Airplane! That was the funniest joke at the time. No one expected to see him (or Robert Stack, or Peter Graves, or Lloyd Bridges) doing comedy.
@syabilaazri7834 so true man. Comedy in my opinion is the hardest to write, because on one hand, you need a plot around it, then you have to come up with jokes that your audience hasn't heard, and finally, somehow keep up with the jokes while finishing the movie.
I’ve always been way too focused on the happy dog wagging it’s tail-as the dubbed audio pretends it’s growling and snarling-to notice he steps *through* the mirror, nice catch!
29:18 - They wouldn't "hope" that the sound would travel, as if it were just a weird idea that someone wanted to try on a whim. There was actual design and engineering involved, and it worked.
I had been watching reactions to this movie, probably at least a year before I noticed the mirror gag and I didn’t notice it until someone pointed it out.
Just to point out, you missed a post-credits bit - the guy is *still* sitting in the car, looks at his watch, and says "I'll give him 5 more minutes..."
The first I knew of this movie was after playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, when the post-credit level had the "I'm serious and don't call me Shirley" line.
Not only _after_ credits. Airplane! (and all the Zucker brothers' movies) hide a lot of jokes _in_ the credits, as a bonus for those of us who stay to read them.
I always grew up being told Chicago was horrible. But about three years ago my wife had to go there to get her citizenship. Took a Amtrak train there. The city was beautiful, clean, people were nice, the parks were amazing. We didn't go outside the big city end of it so I assume the trouble is more so in the suburbs around it rather then in the city itself.
I gotta say, y’all have been my new favorite channel, I discovered, the algorithm is doing yall well. Newly subbed and love watching y’all’s stuff. I don’t know if y’all have seen or done Harry Potter but it’s a great one to do in the Fall! But you guys are awesome to watch and wish I could just get a beer with y’all, keep up the good work, I’ll be watching your guys stuff! Can’t wait for more of the Clone Wars, I never watched it but I am technically watching it for the first time with y’all and it’s great so far!
I was shocked when y'all both said you're single. I'm in my late 50s been 90% of my adulthood and what I've come to realize is a lot of meeting the right person is luck. Anywho y'all are both too handsome funny and intelligent... Get out there and find someone! Great reaction as always. I remember when this came out. Still funny after all these yrs😊
1:19 Same here. I used to love it but then I got stuck on a cheap flight that had the worst turbulence for the entire ride and ever since I no longer liked flying.
As a former truck-moving dancer, it really isnt hard to improve. Social dancing became my favorite social hobby, and now, 9 years later, i have a TON of fun with it every week. If you can find a low-key place, it can be super rewarding
There was a serious airline incident some years ago. It was either that the engines kind of shut off mid flight or the plane unexpectedly nose dived (Two accidents, I get them mixed up), but either way they were over the ocean, it was a dire situation and the flight crew needed to get the plane on the ground as soon as possible. The pilot just says "I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue." The rest of the crew chuckled and it eased the tension. They got the plane safely down, everyone survived. So Airplaine ironically helped to save a plane
Airplane, Hot Shots, Naked Gun, Not Another Teen Movie, and Loaded Weapon 1, might be my favorite parody movies. Edit: Mel Brooks I'd have to place on their own, but some gems there.
Highly recommend watching the short lived TV series Police Squad. A show made by the same people who made this movie and the reason why the show ended so soon is because the studio thought it had too much comedy for the audience to keep up. The resulting cancelation of Police Squad then gave us it's successor: the Naked Gun movies.
One of the greatest Comedies of all-time, absolutely the greatest Parody Comedy of all-time, and 14:30 is just about the funniest moment in anything ever.🤣🤣🤣
19:10 - Yeh everyone had Tupperware and they were all really useful! My grandma bought hers early on and she still using most of them! However, sadly Tupperware company has filed for bankruptcy mid-september so will not be around much longer! Make sure to get all the bowls and containers before it's gone forever! It might become an antique that your kids and grandkids can sell, an unused Tupperware set!
A JW once knocked on our door early in the morning. My grandmother answered and boy - let me tell you - I have never seen my grandfather move so fast in my life to slam the door in their face.
I've heard that one of the main reasons they go door to door is not to try to convert other people, but to show their young members that other people are unfriendly.
This movie is great. Has a lot of jokes _just_ for pilots, too. Visual and audio gags to do with the plane itself.My dad was a freight pilot for a long time, he laughs about stuff that I don’t understand even _after_ he explains it. But what’s even better, is when this movie came out, it was one of those that _everyone in the country_ knew and was quoting at each other and all that. It was huge, people were nuts for it. And about a week after it released, a friend of my dad’s, who at the time flew passengers, had _Leslie Nielsen himself_ stick his head in the cockpit before they took off (because they were open pre-9/11) and say the “We’re all counting on you” line. It was incredible.
YAAAAAAAS~! I'm so happy you guys finally did this one. Fun fact: Lloyd Bridges basically played a parody of his character from the NBC miniseries "San Fransisco International Airport" in this movie.
Jeff Bridges' father is the one who picked the wrong week to quit smoking, drinking, etc. Jonathan Banks was one of the tower personnal. This predates the Naked Gun movies. Nielson was known for serious roles, his most famous being Forbidden Planet. There was a quick after credits scene.
''Joey have you ever been in a turkish prison?'' line is a reference to *Midnight Express 1978* movie, which is about William "Billy" Hayes an american got sent in to a turkish prison after he was found guilty for smuggling hashish. in there billy experiences hell on earth until he escapes. it's a true story.
The people with religious causes/political causes approaching you in airports went away after 9/11. Prior to that, you could be in airports (even up to the gates) without tickets and boarding passes. But for many years, depending on the airport, it was sometimes a gauntlet you had to navigate.
The sequel wasn't made by the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker team, sadly. Opinions are divided on whether it's a hilarious continuation of all the running gags from the first one, or an unoriginal copy with nothing to add.
I've heard that to this day the Zuckers still refuse to watch the sequel. I saw it and thought it was very funny. But it did recycle a good number of jokes from this one.
The gum chewing trick is best if you start chewing before and through the ascent/descent portions of the flight when the plane pressurization and depressurization happens.
With the old airplane headphones, if you turned the volume up all way you could sometimes hear the audio right at the port, without paying for headphones.
I had Jehovah's witnesses come to my door one time when I just woke up and had a full conversation with them in nothing but my boxers and it bothered them to the point where they were trying to end the conversation and leave but I kept continuing the conversation. They never came to my house again.
10:55 The closest thing I've seen to a disco floor in modern times is the interactive screen floor at a Chuck E Cheese 😂 I had had a couple of drinks and can confirm that it is VERY entertaining just staring at the floor.
22:54 Oh they load those up with this one bulking supplement that leaves you constipated. It’s to prevent everyone from rushing the limited toilets. Part of why I bring my own snacks.
Robert Stack's character was right about municipal bonds back then. There were times in the 80s where the interest rate on municipal bonds was around 10%, and in states with no income tax, you get to keep all of it. These days, the rates are pathetically low, but not as bad as a regular savings account.
Surely you can’t be watching this Movie ? They are ... & don't call them Shirley because here are some fun facts - This is a parody of the 1957 movie “Zero Hour!” where even they named the main character Ted Striker after the movie’s own character Ted Stryker, & as a even more interesting fact Ted’s actor Robert Hays is a licensed pilot - Universal thought Airplane! was too similar to their Airport franchise even about to sue when they wanted Helen Reddy who played Sister Ruth in Airport to play as that character in the parody - Rossie Harris who played as young Joey really at the time didn’t understand the humor in Oveur’s comments that is until a year later after turning 10 & watching the movie he figured it out - Leslie Nielsen (still so funny) played a prank on set where he would used his fart machine - Jonathan Banks plays air traffic controller Gunderson
Airplane! 2 is worth a watch, it's not quite as good as the first one and reuses a few jokes (for example they have another joke with magazine names, but they are different jokes using the same formula), but it's still funny and better than most modern comedies
I honestly don't really know who Ethel Merman is, but I've seen her used in enough jokes to know that that WAS her in the hospital scene, and that Robin Williams did an impersonation of her during the Prince Ali song in Aladdin.

Times were different then. Saw this when I was 10 in 1980. People weren't anywhere near as uptight about certain things as they are today.
Kudos for noticing Robert Stack stepping through the mirror. Everyone misses that.
Sad that "Ham on 5, hold the Mayo", "First time? No, I've been nervous lots of times.", "Let's get some pictures", "At least I have a husband", and the after credits scene didn't make the cut.

One of the best comedies ever made! Fun fact: Airplane! was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry in 2010.
most people dont realise that the longest running joke is the plane engines making the wrong noise

That was the funniest joke at the time. No one expected to see him (or Robert Stack, or Peter Graves, or Lloyd Bridges) doing comedy.
It was Scary Movie 3 for me.
I don't think many notice throught the whole movie, the jet just makes airplane propeller sounds instead.
There was a post-credits scene... IIRC it was the guy in the back of the taxi looking at his watch and saying "ehh... I'll give it another 15 minutes"

As a former truck-moving dancer, it really isnt hard to improve. Social dancing became my favorite social hobby, and now, 9 years later, i have a TON of fun with it every week. If you can find a low-key place, it can be super rewarding
There was a serious airline incident some years ago. It was either that the engines kind of shut off mid flight or the plane unexpectedly nose dived (Two accidents, I get them mixed up), but either way they were over the ocean, it was a dire situation and the flight crew needed to get the plane on the ground as soon as possible. The pilot just says "I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue." The rest of the crew chuckled and it eased the tension. They got the plane safely down, everyone survived.
So Airplaine ironically helped to save a plane
Y'all need to watch Hot shots part 1 and deux :D
Airplane, Hot Shots, Naked Gun, Not Another Teen Movie, and Loaded Weapon 1, might be my favorite parody movies. Edit: Mel Brooks I'd have to place on their own, but some gems there.
@@cistric317 all are just amazing parodies
Highly recommend watching the short lived TV series Police Squad. A show made by the same people who made this movie and the reason why the show ended so soon is because the studio thought it had too much comedy for the audience to keep up.
The resulting cancelation of Police Squad then gave us it's successor: the Naked Gun movies.
Can we please bring back spoof movies like this to theaters again?
it woud have be way better if everybody of the group coud watch this but even with just you 2 its stil funny to see your reactions to this movie
The amount of moments in this movie that were in Family Guy is a drinking game of its own.
One of the greatest Comedies of all-time, absolutely the greatest Parody Comedy of all-time, and 14:30 is just about the funniest moment in anything ever.🤣🤣🤣
19:10 - Yeh everyone had Tupperware and they were all really useful! My grandma bought hers early on and she still using most of them!
However, sadly Tupperware company has filed for bankruptcy mid-september so will not be around much longer! Make sure to get all the bowls and containers before it's gone forever! It might become an antique that your kids and grandkids can sell, an unused Tupperware set!
A JW once knocked on our door early in the morning. My grandmother answered and boy - let me tell you - I have never seen my grandfather move so fast in my life to slam the door in their face.
I've heard that one of the main reasons they go door to door is not to try to convert other people, but to show their young members that other people are unfriendly.
"Don't call me Sherly" still, almost 40 years after I first saw the movie, still makes me laugh like the first time I saw it.
This movie is great. Has a lot of jokes _just_ for pilots, too. Visual and audio gags to do with the plane itself.My dad was a freight pilot for a long time, he laughs about stuff that I don’t understand even _after_ he explains it.
But what’s even better, is when this movie came out, it was one of those that _everyone in the country_ knew and was quoting at each other and all that. It was huge, people were nuts for it. And about a week after it released, a friend of my dad’s, who at the time flew passengers, had _Leslie Nielsen himself_ stick his head in the cockpit before they took off (because they were open pre-9/11) and say the “We’re all counting on you” line. It was incredible.
YAAAAAAAS~! I'm so happy you guys finally did this one. Fun fact: Lloyd Bridges basically played a parody of his character from the NBC miniseries "San Fransisco International Airport" in this movie.
Jeff Bridges' father is the one who picked the wrong week to quit smoking, drinking, etc.
Jonathan Banks was one of the tower personnal.
This predates the Naked Gun movies. Nielson was known for serious roles, his most famous being Forbidden Planet.
There was a quick after credits scene.
"is this like a casablanca thing" That's their next movie, Top Secret!
This movie was on the TV in the hospital the day I was born! Instead of paying attention to my poor mother, everyone locked in on it 😭
''Joey have you ever been in a turkish prison?'' line is a reference to *Midnight Express 1978* movie, which is about William "Billy" Hayes an american got sent in to a turkish prison after he was found guilty for smuggling hashish. in there billy experiences hell on earth until he escapes. it's a true story.
The people with religious causes/political causes approaching you in airports went away after 9/11. Prior to that, you could be in airports (even up to the gates) without tickets and boarding passes. But for many years, depending on the airport, it was sometimes a gauntlet you had to navigate.
14:31- the moment I’ve been waiting for, the best scene in the movie 😂😂😂
I kept getting distracted by that white spotin Erik's hair😊
I would recommend the sequel personally. It has a similar storyline to the first, but there are enough new jokes to make it well worth a watch
I once watched them back to back and they are basically the same movie, but funny enough that I didn't care.
The sequel wasn't made by the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker team, sadly. Opinions are divided on whether it's a hilarious continuation of all the running gags from the first one, or an unoriginal copy with nothing to add.
I've heard that to this day the Zuckers still refuse to watch the sequel.
I saw it and thought it was very funny. But it did recycle a good number of jokes from this one.
Shatner was my favorite part of the movie.
Hope you guys watch Airplane 2 at some point
The gum chewing trick is best if you start chewing before and through the ascent/descent portions of the flight when the plane pressurization and depressurization happens.
With the old airplane headphones, if you turned the volume up all way you could sometimes hear the audio right at the port, without paying for headphones.
If all you know from this film is "Don't call me, Shirley" ... y'all're in for a treat!
You all need to check out "Airport" (1970), the disaster film where many of these scenes were derived.
Guinness book of world records.This movie has the most jokes per minute
I had Jehovah's witnesses come to my door one time when I just woke up and had a full conversation with them in nothing but my boxers and it bothered them to the point where they were trying to end the conversation and leave but I kept continuing the conversation. They never came to my house again.
10:55 The closest thing I've seen to a disco floor in modern times is the interactive screen floor at a Chuck E Cheese 😂 I had had a couple of drinks and can confirm that it is VERY entertaining just staring at the floor.
22:54 Oh they load those up with this one bulking supplement that leaves you constipated. It’s to prevent everyone from rushing the limited toilets. Part of why I bring my own snacks.
Robert Stack's character was right about municipal bonds back then. There were times in the 80s where the interest rate on municipal bonds was around 10%, and in states with no income tax, you get to keep all of it. These days, the rates are pathetically low, but not as bad as a regular savings account.
Surely you can’t be watching this Movie ? They are ... & don't call them Shirley because here are some fun facts
- This is a parody of the 1957 movie “Zero Hour!” where even they named the main character Ted Striker after the movie’s own character Ted Stryker, & as a even more interesting fact Ted’s actor Robert Hays is a licensed pilot
- Universal thought Airplane! was too similar to their Airport franchise even about to sue when they wanted Helen Reddy who played Sister Ruth in Airport to play as that character in the parody
- Rossie Harris who played as young Joey really at the time didn’t understand the humor in Oveur’s comments that is until a year later after turning 10 & watching the movie he figured it out
- Leslie Nielsen (still so funny) played a prank on set where he would used his fart machine
- Jonathan Banks plays air traffic controller Gunderson
Inspiration: It's the Mile Die Club. Oh, that is awesome!! The moment you suggested it, it popped into my head. So the best!!
You may the only reactor ever to spot and call out Robert Stack walking through the mirror. That is worth a follow.
Airplane! 2 is worth a watch, it's not quite as good as the first one and reuses a few jokes (for example they have another joke with magazine names, but they are different jokes using the same formula), but it's still funny and better than most modern comedies
The William Shatner performance is freaking solid comedy gold.
"You can't take a guess for another 2 hours?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I honestly don't really know who Ethel Merman is, but I've seen her used in enough jokes to know that that WAS her in the hospital scene, and that Robin Williams did an impersonation of her during the Prince Ali song in Aladdin.
I remember hearing that voice line (no thank you I take it black like my men) dam I'm assuming it's a meme
That "She was in the Sneako chair" line bout killed me..hahaha
