Likely because it doesn't register high enough on the gut busting laugh scale, like say, the girl with her black cup of coffee or the Air Israel visual joke. I noticed the engine noise decades ago and it was just, "meh". Too many other much more funny jokes to enjoy.
YES! Nobody ever catches this. I think it's a throwback to the original film, Zero Hour, from 1957. It's the exact same movie but it happens on a propeller plane. In fact in order to avoid lawsuits and royalty issues they bought the rights to Zero Hour
Good luck, we're all counting on you. Also I cannot tell you how happy it makes me that someone makes this comment on every Airplane reaction on youtube - makes me smile every time.
There’s one joke that a lot of people don’t get especially if they’re not American. But in America, there’s a very famous hospital called the mayo clinic.
The movie itself was a riff on this movie called Zero Hour (which itself was a remake). I am guessing that most of the people who have watched Zero Hour did it only after learning that Airplane was a parody of it.
so, fun fact, last I checked, none of the actors in this movie had done a comedy before in their lives. Some you can recognize as going on to have great careers in comedy, but this was their first. And part of it was the absolute straight shot delivery of pretty much every joke in the movie. Speaking of, it was based on another film that had a very similar plot, though it wasn't a comedy. The studio that made this movie bought the full rights to that movie they parodied to avoid any copyright issues. The old lady who spoke jive? She was the mother on 'Leave It To Beaver'
You are correct. Peter Graves, Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, and Lloyd Bridges all up until this point had only done dramatic roles. That was part of the Brilliance of this movie. Not only that, but not a single one of their lines in Airplane was delivered as a punchline it was always played straight.
One of my favorite things about this movie is the fact that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was playing himself but he was also a pilot and it's never explained WHY. lol
In Zero Hour!, the film Airplane! is based on, an NFL player (Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch) plays a pilot. So it made sense to have a pro sports figure play the part here. Pete Rose was actually the first player the ZAZ team wanted for the part, but the filming was during baseball season.
Can someone explain me that joke? :D English isn't my native language and I am probably missing point :D I get it she have men, but that isnt funny at all so there is somethng behnd that I guess? :D :D
@@kubo5185 taking your coffee “black” means without milk, so she says she likes it like she likes her men - black. It’s funny because it’s the shock of a girl that age saying it
There was an actual food poisoning outbreak on a plane five years before the movie. Contaminated breakfast omelets caused nearly 200 people to get sick. Fortunately, the pilots hadn’t eaten the omelets and were able to make an emergency landing. By luck, the pilots’ biological clocks were still on Alaska time and had ordered steak dinners instead. The incident resulted in recommendations that pilots and passengers be served different foods during the flight.
The older lady who spoke Jive was Barbara Billingsly, who was the mother on Leave it to Beaver. She and the two black men worked out the Jive language together. They were close friends throughout the rest of her life. The glue sniffer was Lloyd Bridges (Jeff Bridges' father), a serious actor. He was worried that doing this film would ruin his career. His sons Jeff and Beau convinced him to do it and it turned out to rejuvenate his career because he was so good at comedy.
"I just want to wish you both good luck, we're all counting on you." Leslie Nielsen was a very serious actor at the time, never did comedies and that's why he was chosen. When he expressed his doubt at being able to do comedy, the directors told to NOT play it as a comedy, but to play it very seriously. The deadpan delivery is one of the big factors why this movie works so well. Also, I hope you two react to "Top Secret!" (1984). Another timeless '80s classic comedy film by Jim Abrahams and the Zucker brothers that I know you two will love.
Also the original movie from which a lot of the plot and even dialogue is based on is a serious type movie. So the whole thing fuses deadpan with parody.
Leslie Nielsen repeats the same "Good Luck" line in one of the Scary Movies....decades after this. Hardly anyone catches the references, but I love it so much.
It’s really tragic. Someone gets PTSD, and the next thing they know, they’re on stage belting out some fabulous show tunes, with no idea how they got there.
Once I took my son through a drive-through and got a couple combo meals. Minutes later, I managed to spill Dr. Pepper all over my self. My 9yo son pipes up, “Don’t drink and drive, Mom!” and we both cracked up 😂
A hilarious scene is where the tower says "they're flying on instruments" then it goes back to the cockpit and they're all playing instruments 🎺 🎻 😭😭😭 lol 😂
Whenever I fly somewhere, if I have the chance, I always try to tell at least one of the pilots "good luck, we're all counting on you" and they always get it! The last one even said thank Capt. Stryker!
FUN FACT: The Japanese Soldier who stabbed himself was James Hong who played the father in Everything Everywhere All At Once. He just got a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame after a long and continuing career since the 50's
Really funny fun fact: Leslie Nielson had been a serious actor for thirty years at that time, and while he was known for being somewhat of a clown in private and on sets, he always played the straight man. In fact, he was cast in that role in "Airplane!", _because_ of his ability to act completely serious. This movie set off the second part of his career, this time in comedy.
@@Groffili Another fun fact: Leslie Nielsen had a brother who was an important official in the Canadian government, and they both had the exact same sense of humor. A talk show that had them both on found that out the hard way when Leslie brought out the fart box
People who knew Leslie Nielsen in his private life said he was one the funniest people they ever knew. He was cast in serious roles because of his looks and voice, but was always a comedic person at heart. Even his gravestone has a fart joke on it.
If anyone reading this hasn't seen Leslie Nielsen's fart joke compilations PLEASEEEE treat urself. Known for taking fart machines and woolie cushions to every interview he did.
It's so great to see how this movie perfectly jives with Ash's sense of humor. I think it's probably the funniest movie ever made. It's full of references to old American TV shows and movies. One example is that the very dark joke about the pilot being creepy with the young boy is a reference to how the actor Peter Graves was famous for a TV show in which his character adopted a young orphan and mentored him.
@@Perfectly_Cromulent351 Oh I didn't know that. Just knew him from the Naked Gun movies when I was younger. But just going off his look and voice seems like he should've been on Law and Order as a detective or a lawyer. Or maybe a therapist or something.
The old man in the taxi was Howard Jarvis, a newspaper owner in Southern California. Led a successful property tax revolt in California in 1978. The joke was that he was a very impatient man and in the taxi, which had the meter running the whole time, he was sitting patiently awaiting the driver's return. All while watching the meter click higher and higher. We Californians came to know him from all of the interviews he gave leading up to the tax cuts and found the scenes amusing. Most of the movie viewers never got the inside joke.
I live in southern Illinois and I got the joke immediately....I knew who Jarvis was from listening to Johnny Carson telling jokes about him around the timee "Airplane" came out.
Ethel Merman's last film appearance. and. The "old lady who speaks jive..." is actually Barbara Billingsley - who played the Mother in "Leave it to Beaver..."
I saw this in 1980 i was 19. All through the movies I was having chest pains and cold feet and hands. Laughing hurt so much, I laughed so hard. I took my friends home and drove myself to the ER to find out I had an infection around my heart. Love this movie.
The best moment of the whole reaction is at 10:25 Hannah: If my kids don't act like that I wouldn't want em. The Girl: No, thank you. I take it black... 😂🤣🤣
I was 8 when this came out, and somehow *every* kid I knew saw it at least once, and school was nothing but "Airplane!" quotes, nonstop. You could get an automatic laugh with any of this stuff, and set off a chain of quotes from it. My best friend's dad was this blue collar tough guy, but a little thick around the middle. I said "the fog's getting thicker..." once with him in the room, and my best friend jumped over next to him, shook his gut and yelled, "And Leon's getting LAAARRRGERRR!" and took off running, with his dad chasing him out through the garage. It was priceless.
Perhaps in the full-length reaction, they mention that they make note of that, but it is rare to see a reactor mention this audio discrepancy because so much else is going on.
@@ianstopher9111 Correct, it's not really a memorable joke when there are so many other greater ones that make you bust out laughing. It's also rare for anyone to mention that we are looking at a scale model and not an actual Boeing 707
The passenger in the taxi is Howard Jarvis, an American businessman and politician who lowered California’s property taxes by spearheading Proposition 13. He was a well known politician and was very fiscally conservative, which is what makes the joke so funny.
Right! I also hate that most reactors never read the film credits. Those were some of my favorite parts of these Zucker movies. The hidden jokes! I used to read them really fast until we got a VCR and I could pause them.
I’m literally crying with laughter at this reaction!! 😂 thank you SO much for cheering me up after a terrible few days! You & Hannah are the best!!! Thank you again!!! X
Thank you so much! Yours and Hannah’s channels have been a god send to me over the last few weeks, really made me smile and cheered me up no end!! Thank you for all that you do - you guys are just fantastic! Have a wonderful weekend! ☀️❤️
If that's all you saw, you're missing a lot of the humor. In LA the Zucker brothers and Abrams (they wrote this movie) had a comedy group called, "Kentucky Fried Theater" where they did comedy sketches that changed every month. From there they did a film titled, "Kentucky Fried Movie." (It's really good especially the skit titled, "A Fist Full Of Yen," a very good take-off on Bruce Lee and "Enter the Dragon.") From this film came "Airplane." After that writing group broke up Pat Priest, who was with the Zuckers, got together with some others to write "Airplane 2" which starred William Shatner. Pat Priest did several other after that: "Top Secret" a take-off on WWII films and "Hot Shots" a take off on more modern hot-shot military pilot movies.
The actor who played Ted Striker ( Robert Hays ) IS a pilot in real life and is actually qualified to fly multi-engine aircraft... Of course, if I was getting on a plane and saw Ted Striker was my captain.. I think I'd probably start re-considering my life choices...
The one joke that people often miss is the wife who constantly is suspicious in her head about her husband. They are the actual actors from a 80s folgers coffee commercial who did the same bit.
I’ve seen a few reactions from this movie but Ash, you actually made it almost like the 1st time for me. I’m GenX so I saw this in the theater and I appreciate that you found it as funny as we did. We were not offended by the things that are found so offensive now. You need to watch the Naked Gun movies now.
Yes, many of the lines from Zero Hour are so ridiculous and unintentionally funny that the Airplane! producers simply reused them. They bought the rights to the original movie to make sure they would not get sued for plagiarism.
Leslie's performance is what does it for me, he is such a legendary actor. His comedic timing plus the fact that he plays it so serious is so perfect to me.
“Naked Gun” movie has the Dr from airplane and he’s such a funny guy, not sure if you’ve seen “blazing saddles” but it also considers one the funniest movies ever
The fact that they didn't recognize Leslie Nielsen is a good thing. That means they won't be ready for the Naked Gun movies. Most reactors have seen him before they watched Airplane!. I think they'll enjoy Naked Gun as much or even more now.
He wasn't actually a funny guy. He was a straight man. He often didn't get the joke, but it didn't matter. He only needed to read the lines in a deadpan manner, as if he were in a serious drama.
The, "Leon's getting laaarger," joke is a reference to a Canadian furniture store called Leon's that had commercials about how big and vast their store was. 😂
The thing that surprised me the most was that you didn't notice that a jet aeroplane had the noise of a propeller aeroplane. It was through the whole movie. Also, try the Kentuckey Fried Movie. Much better.
If you two weren't made for each other I don't know who is? Its nice to see a couple who care about each other and can still be silly and not worry about being serious! Reminds me of me and my wife! Much happiness!
His name is actually Lloyd Bridges, Jr. He has another son, Jeff's older brother, Lloyd Bridges III, known by the nickname Beau Bridges, who is also an actor.
@@michaelswain845Yes, Lloyd Bridges had a long and illustrious career. He was Gary Cooper's jealous deputy in High Noon. Gene Roddenberry wrote a number of scripts for Sea Hunt, so Bridges was his first choice for playing the captain on Star Trek, but Bridges imagined it would be a kiddie show a la Captain Video or Tom Corbett, Space Cadet, and wanted nothing to do with it. He did a cop show in the early 70s called Joe Forrester, where his signature move was to trip up fleeing suspects by throwing his nightstick at their legs. His role in Airplane! led to him playing the wacky, brain-damaged admiral in the Hot Shots movies. He was Izzy Mandelbaum in a couple episodes of Seinfeld -- "Okay, stringbean, it's go time!"
Lloyd Bridges wasn't going to take the part in Airplane it was his sons that read the script and talked him into it ⚡ also check out Top Secret and Hysterical ⚡ both excellent movies @@user-mg5mv2tn8q
This is hands down the best reaction to this movie I have seen. Most channels either miss the jokes or just don’t find it funny. This is the first time I have seen people actually appreciate the jokes. As usual Ash made me laugh so hard at his laughing, that I had to pause the video multiple times to catch my breath! 🤣. Hannah’s jokes about “the good ole days” and now, was hysterical! They both have an awesome sense of humor, know how to have a laugh, and how to share that laugh with their audience. This was spot on perfection!❤❤❤
I read that in North America "airplane" is used almost exclusively, and "aeroplane" is used more in the UK and Australia, but "airplane" is becoming more common in the latter as well. Both words mean the same thing.
@@simonrobinson1566 Plenty of words are spelled and/or pronounced differently in different parts of the English-speaking world. Same with any language.
@@simonrobinson1566But ya, those Americans and Canadians with their "airplanes." Americans only invented airplanes, or I should say the first sustained and controlled heavier-than-air powered flying machines.
This movie holds the record for most laughs per minute at 3. There are so many visual gags you miss the first time around. Like at the beginning in the airport there's a section called spank material on the magazine rack 😂
This film started Leslie Nielson's comedy career. Before he played serious roles. His most prominent film is probably "Forbidden Planet," which is considered one of the best science-fiction films from the 50's. I highly recommend reacting to it. If you two are open to watching older movies.
Great review, you two! You were hilarious! Your conversations before and during the movie were the best. I liked how Hannah looked at Ash after the "marriage minded" exchange. Best watch of Airplane I can remember!
Air plane is actually an ZAZ movie (Zucker Abrahams Zucker). They've also been responsible for two more extremely hilarious movies: The Naked Gun and my favorite Top Secret.
Loved watching this with you two! Ash, you laughed like my friend Gregg (RIP) laughed when we watched this together, and it made me smile. Today would have been his birthday. Airplane was one of his favorites. “Hospital? What is it?” “It’s a big building with patients.”
25:00 she was so devastated when he brushed off the marriage talk. Tears welling up in her eyes and it took her a good minute to stuff down the pain and try not cry.
Lloyd Bridges, Robert Stack, Lesley Nielsen were all very serious leading men. Barbara Billingsley ( Jive Lady ) played the mother on Leave it to Beaver, the epitome of the 50s suburban housewife. This was such shock. We all loved it! To understand how it hit us, imagine Derek Jacoby, Laurence Olivier, or Sean Connery doing this!!!🧓🎭📽️😎
Younger audiences are probably going to start being all like "SEAN WHOOOOOOOOO?" so let's just say Liam Neeson reviving Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin for an upcoming Naked Gun movie. Hopefully Akiva Schaffer does it justice. If it's at all like Hot Rod, it'll be good.
The perfect parody of the disaster film genre, and the one that turned actor Leslie Nielson into a comedic actor, who would go on to star in *_The Naked Gun_* trilogy. And *Fun Trivia Fact:* This film is a parody of a 1957 film called *_Zero Hour!,_* parodying its more serious plot of the pilots and passengers becoming ill from the plane food, and one of the passengers - a former war pilot - being relied on to fly and land the plane safely.
👍I think Airport 1975 was the more direct target. I can’t remember if I watched that movie but I did read the book Airport (Arthur Hailey, 1968j which spawned a series of disaster movies Airport (1971) and Airport 1975, -77, -79 sequels. This is a fat target for parody.
Airplane and Airplane 2, The naked gun 1, 21/2, 3 3/4, Hot Shots 1 and 2, Top Secret, more or less the same crew behind the cameras. Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker (ZAZ) gave us in the 80s and 90s some of the best laughs of our lives. No buundaries, no stupid limitations, they could mock of whatever they wanted. Sad times now, where everythinbg has been ruined by all the stupid limitations of this era we are living in. Your reactions are so funny, as always.
Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home was a TV commercial at the time, for Yuban Coffee, where the wife didn't know she was buying and making bad coffee. And the casting folks for Airplane didn't realise the actress they hired WAS the lady from that commercial!
Some of this humor, being from 1980, while of contemporaneous pop culture back then, is a bit dated for younger generations today (but still side-splitting). Some explanations: -- Boy's Life was an actual magazine (unlike Nun's Life...) -- The lady who 'spoke jive', Barbara Billingsley, played June Cleaver on the squeaky-clean 50s sitcom 'Leave it to Beaver', often doing household chores or cooking while elegantly dressed in heels and pearls, and would never be expected to know 'jive' (or likely ever encountered a black person on-screen) -- The 'win one for the Zipper' speech was very close to an actual speech from a famous 1940 sports movie 'Knute Rockne: All American', about dying college football star George Gip ('the Gipper'), with the musical theme being the Notre Dame College fight song -- The Amana kitchen appliance corporation's first microwave oven was called the RadarRange Microwave Oven, so when they asked if the flight was within 'radar range', that's why the guy opened the radar display as if opening a microwave -- "Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home" was from a popular Yuban coffee TV ad, with the housewife who buys some other brand besides Yuban at home, wondering why her '1-cup husband' is suddenly having a second cup while eating out (so, the joke being a popular commercial just referenced randomly in the dialog) Finally, not necessarily a dated joke, but for non-American viewers, there really is a famous hospital in Minnesota called the Mayo Clinic. However, they have nothing to do with mayonnaise.... 😎
hard to believe we're coming up on this movie's 50th year anniversary. Saw this in High School when it came out. Seen it at least 5 more times since. S-tier IMO.
This is the most fun I have ever had watching a reaction! Brilliant entertainment, just fantastic! You guys don’t know how much I love watching you react xxx
@@stmn346 I simply assumed that everyone would get the obvious joke. I was pointing it out because not everyone reads the credits, which is the only place in which it appears.
If I'm lying I'm dying when I say that I've watched this reaction in your channel a dozen times or more. My favorite reaction ever, on your channel and anyone else's channel. I laugh so hard from watching you two laugh.
Ash, here's a trio of LOL comedies from your beloved late 70's/early 80's period: Animal House (1978), The Blues Brothers (1980) & Stripes (1981). There are more... 😄
Woefully inadequate amount of Johnny in this reaction. What a legend and one of the best side characters in cinema. That aside, this is one of the funniest films ever! Loved it guys.
@Just Trust Ash - actually, flying in the US used to be worth a damn... that could have been economy class,.. in the 79s airlines didnt treat you like cattle.. you had room, got good meals on all long flights, didnt have to pay for every bag you checked in, and it was very common for people to fly wearing suits regardless of class because flying was still considered "high class" transportation. As for the black guys - they were talking "jive" which was to the 70s what ebonics would be today. The old white lady that came up to translate for them was Barbara Billingsley.. she was the mother on the original Leave It To Beaver show in the 50s.. to see her talkiing jive was a total mind blow for people who recognized her.. soooo not what she was known for lol.
"Now we're lucky if I've shaved." Totally lost it at that moment. Hannah has GREAT comedic timing!! Great reaction, you two!!
Came to the comments to say that line made me spit my beer out!
😂
I'd like to see them react to "Colonel Angus Comes Home". I know it's a SNL skit and not a movie, but it would be hilarious.
That was golden
I was surprised Ash didn’t make a joke about that not actually being his own hair on his face.
Ash, you had better buy her the best, smoothest, finest razors ever made! 😆
One thing I never see people mention, is that they're on a JET plane, but we constantly hear propellers throughout the movie. Pure genius.
@@radbarij

Wasn't that a Japan Airlines plane? I think I heard about that one. That is some nasty stuff. Just proves that not everything in this film is a joke.
Pilots and co-pilots don't eat the same meal. Doesn't really matter if either of them eats the same thing as the passengers.
The older lady who spoke Jive was Barbara Billingsly, who was the mother on Leave it to Beaver. She and the two black men worked out the Jive language together.

Most of the actors were serious, dramatic actors. Made the absurdity of their lines more shocking to audiences.

The real Ethel Merman begins singing in the hospital bed.

Leslie Neilson is a national treasure, The Naked Gun is an absolute must
Yeah. Naked Gun as hilarious! I watched Police Squad when I was really young and it was the funniest thing I’d ever seen.
Really funny fun fact: Leslie Nielson had been a serious actor for thirty years at that time, and while he was known for being somewhat of a clown in private and on sets, he always played the straight man. In fact, he was cast in that role in "Airplane!", _because_ of his ability to act completely serious.
This movie set off the second part of his career, this time in comedy.
@@Groffili Another fun fact: Leslie Nielsen had a brother who was an important official in the Canadian government, and they both had the exact same sense of humor. A talk show that had them both on found that out the hard way when Leslie brought out the fart box
@@christopherwall2121 Yeah he was born in a small town in Canada.
People who knew Leslie Nielsen in his private life said he was one the funniest people they ever knew. He was cast in serious roles because of his looks and voice, but was always a comedic person at heart.
Even his gravestone has a fart joke on it.
If anyone reading this hasn't seen Leslie Nielsen's fart joke compilations PLEASEEEE treat urself.
Known for taking fart machines and woolie cushions to every interview he did.
@beesmitty3435 Whoopy cushions.
Ash’s face during this movie killed me. Eyebrows raise eye squinted smiling ear to ear lmaooo
It's so great to see how this movie perfectly jives with Ash's sense of humor. I think it's probably the funniest movie ever made. It's full of references to old American TV shows and movies. One example is that the very dark joke about the pilot being creepy with the young boy is a reference to how the actor Peter Graves was famous for a TV show in which his character adopted a young orphan and mentored him.
I just wanna tell you both, good luck. We're all counting on you.
Younger reactors often don't grasp thus absurdist humor, I was so glad to see how much you two enjoyed it.😂
Was Leslie Neilsen a writer on these? Feel like he owned this kind of humor and movie back then.
It's not just the humor, but there are many cultural references that even Americans don't get
@@ct6852 most likely. Him and Mel Brooks, but this doesn't have the Mel Brooks flavor
@@ct6852he was a serious dramatic actor until this film
@@Perfectly_Cromulent351 Oh I didn't know that. Just knew him from the Naked Gun movies when I was younger. But just going off his look and voice seems like he should've been on Law and Order as a detective or a lawyer. Or maybe a therapist or something.
The old man in the taxi was Howard Jarvis, a newspaper owner in Southern California. Led a successful property tax revolt in California in 1978. The joke was that he was a very impatient man and in the taxi, which had the meter running the whole time, he was sitting patiently awaiting the driver's return. All while watching the meter click higher and higher. We Californians came to know him from all of the interviews he gave leading up to the tax cuts and found the scenes amusing. Most of the movie viewers never got the inside joke.
Great info 👍🏾
I live in southern Illinois and I got the joke immediately....I knew who Jarvis was from listening to Johnny Carson telling jokes about him around the timee "Airplane" came out.
"The white zone is for loading and unloading of passengers only."
"Listen Betty, don't give me any more of your white zone shit"
Yep
Thank him for prop 13, i know i do.
Ethel Merman's last film appearance. and. The "old lady who speaks jive..." is actually Barbara Billingsley - who played the Mother in "Leave it to Beaver..."
I saw this in 1980 i was 19. All through the movies I was having chest pains and cold feet and hands. Laughing hurt so much, I laughed so hard. I took my friends home and drove myself to the ER to find out I had an infection around my heart. Love this movie.
The joke where he repeats “good luck. We’re all counting on you.” was also used in Scary Movie 3. By the same actor. Leslie Nielsen.
The best moment of the whole reaction is at 10:25
Hannah: If my kids don't act like that I wouldn't want em.
The Girl: No, thank you. I take it black...
😂🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Fun fact: My cousin is one of the jive talking Black guys.
Ask your cousin if he could do an English to Jive RUclips channel.
@@SeirLOL he's ancient now. I doubt he'd be interested but I might!
@@kadavilait’s still my favorite part of the movie that and Kareem 😂
Iconic part.
Imagine, someone having a cousin
I was 8 when this came out, and somehow *every* kid I knew saw it at least once, and school was nothing but "Airplane!" quotes, nonstop. You could get an automatic laugh with any of this stuff, and set off a chain of quotes from it. My best friend's dad was this blue collar tough guy, but a little thick around the middle. I said "the fog's getting thicker..." once with him in the room, and my best friend jumped over next to him, shook his gut and yelled, "And Leon's getting LAAARRRGERRR!" and took off running, with his dad chasing him out through the garage. It was priceless.
Hahahaha 😂 love your reactions. This movie was killing Ash..
I love the fact that every time the jet is shown flying it’s making a propeller driven airplane sound
Perhaps in the full-length reaction, they mention that they make note of that, but it is rare to see a reactor mention this audio discrepancy because so much else is going on.
@@ianstopher9111 Correct, it's not really a memorable joke when there are so many other greater ones that make you bust out laughing. It's also rare for anyone to mention that we are looking at a scale model and not an actual Boeing 707
There is a Post Credit scene. The guy is still in the Taxi. He says, "I'll just give him five more minutes!".
YES!! I hate it that almost every reactor misses that. It’s the perfect ending 😂😂😂😂
The passenger in the taxi is Howard Jarvis, an American businessman and politician who lowered California’s property taxes by spearheading Proposition 13. He was a well known politician and was very fiscally conservative, which is what makes the joke so funny.
Right! I also hate that most reactors never read the film credits. Those were some of my favorite parts of these Zucker movies. The hidden jokes! I used to read them really fast until we got a VCR and I could pause them.
They didn't show it but Hannah acknowledged it around 29:15 I think
when after credit scenes were rare
I’m literally crying with laughter at this reaction!! 😂 thank you SO much for cheering me up after a terrible few days! You & Hannah are the best!!! Thank you again!!! X
Hope you have a banging week coming up mate ❤️☺️
Thank you so much! Yours and Hannah’s channels have been a god send to me over the last few weeks, really made me smile and cheered me up no end!! Thank you for all that you do - you guys are just fantastic! Have a wonderful weekend! ☀️❤️
Thank GOD we've still got movies from back when people were allowed to be funny.
At least for now!
The doctor character, Leslie Nielson, was in a movie trilogy called The Naked Gun. It's made by the same guys who made this movie - it's a must see!!!
5:40 "This is a comedy, clearly, isn't it?"
I've seen it many times, and I'm starting to suspect she's right. 😂😂😂
This isn't a comedy, it's THE comedy
@@beeseumz Part of the holy trifecta of 70s-80s absurd comedy, along with Monty Python And The Holy Grail and Blazing Saddles. 🙂
The Mayo Clinic is a famous medical provider in the US. So the pun was having the shelves filled with mayonnaise. It also added to the Mr. Hamm joke
Ash, the 13 year old boy in you really came out in this movie. The silent laughs were the best. So glad you got the humor. It holds up to this day.
When he saw the Air Israel plane, I knew he would lose it. 😅
If that's all you saw, you're missing a lot of the humor.
In LA the Zucker brothers and Abrams (they wrote this movie) had a comedy group called, "Kentucky Fried Theater" where they did comedy sketches that changed every month. From there they did a film titled, "Kentucky Fried Movie." (It's really good especially the skit titled, "A Fist Full Of Yen," a very good take-off on Bruce Lee and "Enter the Dragon.") From this film came "Airplane." After that writing group broke up Pat Priest, who was with the Zuckers, got together with some others to write "Airplane 2" which starred William Shatner. Pat Priest did several other after that: "Top Secret" a take-off on WWII films and "Hot Shots" a take off on more modern hot-shot military pilot movies.
The first movie to highlight how much society needed Zinc Oxide, who knew?
The actor who played Ted Striker ( Robert Hays ) IS a pilot in real life and is actually qualified to fly multi-engine aircraft... Of course, if I was getting on a plane and saw Ted Striker was my captain.. I think I'd probably start re-considering my life choices...
The 2 black gentlemen were already accomplished Broadway actors.
The one joke that people often miss is the wife who constantly is suspicious in her head about her husband. They are the actual actors from a 80s folgers coffee commercial who did the same bit.
Yeah, but that ad aired a lonnnng time ago. (I remember it. sigh.)
You and me both!
It was actually for Yuban instant coffee, not Folger's.
And according to the actress, they never talked about the commercial when she auditioned for the role
@@Calamity_Jack You didn't ask for this.
I’ve seen a few reactions from this movie but Ash, you actually made it almost like the 1st time for me. I’m GenX so I saw this in the theater and I appreciate that you found it as funny as we did. We were not offended by the things that are found so offensive now.
You need to watch the Naked Gun movies now.
Glad you joined us on this one mate, proper appreciate you ❤️
13:50 -- Lorna Patterson played Randy and yes, that's her singing. :)
You guys are the best. How have I just discovered your channel?
This movie is a shot-for-shot comedy remake of "Zero-Hour!" from 1957. Someone did a side-by-side comparison some years back and it's AMAZING.
ruclips.net/video/8-v2BHNBVCs/видео.htmlsi=WuBmi989uNeCCzn3
Yes! The side by side comparison is definitely worth a watch.
Yes, many of the lines from Zero Hour are so ridiculous and unintentionally funny that the Airplane! producers simply reused them. They bought the rights to the original movie to make sure they would not get sued for plagiarism.
I’m learning so much !
"Now we're lucky if I've shaved..." godamn you guys are hilarious lol :))
Funniest reaction line in past 2 years from anyone!
Leslie's performance is what does it for me, he is such a legendary actor. His comedic timing plus the fact that he plays it so serious is so perfect to me.
What a great reaction! I forgot how weirdly hilarious this movie was. Ash. Love you dude. Put a ring on it already!
Thanks for making me laugh until it hurt! 😂
“Naked Gun” movie has the Dr from airplane and he’s such a funny guy, not sure if you’ve seen “blazing saddles” but it also considers one the funniest movies ever
Leslie Nielsen.
The fact that they didn't recognize Leslie Nielsen is a good thing. That means they won't be ready for the Naked Gun movies. Most reactors have seen him before they watched Airplane!. I think they'll enjoy Naked Gun as much or even more now.
He wasn't actually a funny guy. He was a straight man. He often didn't get the joke, but it didn't matter. He only needed to read the lines in a deadpan manner, as if he were in a serious drama.
Oh my God they'd lose their minds with Blazing Saddles
"He's committing Teriyaki!" 😂 14:50
The, "Leon's getting laaarger," joke is a reference to a Canadian furniture store called Leon's that had commercials about how big and vast their store was. 😂
Family Guy later parodied it in their Star Wars parody.
One of my favorite reactions😂
The thing that surprised me the most was that you didn't notice that a jet aeroplane had the noise of a propeller aeroplane. It was through the whole movie. Also, try the Kentuckey Fried Movie. Much better.
Never thought that Airplane would get one of the best reactions on the channel. So glad I watched this!
If you two weren't made for each other I don't know who is? Its nice to see a couple who care about each other and can still be silly and not worry about being serious! Reminds me of me and my wife! Much happiness!
The bossy guy in the airport, Lloyd Bridges is the father of Jeff... The Big Lebowski actor.
His name is actually Lloyd Bridges, Jr. He has another son, Jeff's older brother, Lloyd Bridges III, known by the nickname Beau Bridges, who is also an actor.
@@user-mg5mv2tn8q Okay, let's go further... Daddy Lloyd Jr was famous for the TV show "Sea Hunt". He played a scuba diver.
@@michaelswain845Yes, Lloyd Bridges had a long and illustrious career. He was Gary Cooper's jealous deputy in High Noon. Gene Roddenberry wrote a number of scripts for Sea Hunt, so Bridges was his first choice for playing the captain on Star Trek, but Bridges imagined it would be a kiddie show a la Captain Video or Tom Corbett, Space Cadet, and wanted nothing to do with it. He did a cop show in the early 70s called Joe Forrester, where his signature move was to trip up fleeing suspects by throwing his nightstick at their legs. His role in Airplane! led to him playing the wacky, brain-damaged admiral in the Hot Shots movies. He was Izzy Mandelbaum in a couple episodes of Seinfeld -- "Okay, stringbean, it's go time!"
Lloyd Bridges
wasn't going to take the part in Airplane it was his sons that read the script and talked him into it ⚡ also check out Top Secret and Hysterical ⚡ both excellent movies @@user-mg5mv2tn8q
Im so glad you guys react together, you are perfect for each other and for the audience.
This is hands down the best reaction to this movie I have seen. Most channels either miss the jokes or just don’t find it funny. This is the first time I have seen people actually appreciate the jokes. As usual Ash made me laugh so hard at his laughing, that I had to pause the video multiple times to catch my breath! 🤣. Hannah’s jokes about “the good ole days” and now, was hysterical! They both have an awesome sense of humor, know how to have a laugh, and how to share that laugh with their audience. This was spot on perfection!❤❤❤
It makes me laugh whenever Ash laughs so hard no sound comes out anymore
Same, he looks possessed, it's hilarious. I knew he would love the out of pocket humour, no rules! :)
I read that in North America "airplane" is used almost exclusively, and "aeroplane" is used more in the UK and Australia, but "airplane" is becoming more common in the latter as well. Both words mean the same thing.
Pretty much correct.
I really don't know why Americans call it an 'airplane'. It's like a what a stupid person would say if they read 'aeroplane'.
@@simonrobinson1566 Plenty of words are spelled and/or pronounced differently in different parts of the English-speaking world. Same with any language.
@@simonrobinson1566But ya, those Americans and Canadians with their "airplanes." Americans only invented airplanes, or I should say the first sustained and controlled heavier-than-air powered flying machines.
@@simonrobinson1566 Aero is a Greek root meaning, "air." So both spellings are reasonable and literally mean the same thing.
Holy shit I thought Ash was gonna die from laughter during this! 🤣
I LOVE how much you guys appreciated this movie. It's such a gem!!
The doctor is played by Leslie Nielsen, a great Canadian actor. You should react to 'The Naked Gun' movie series. Lots of laughs there too.
This movie holds the record for most laughs per minute at 3. There are so many visual gags you miss the first time around. Like at the beginning in the airport there's a section called spank material on the magazine rack 😂
This film started Leslie Nielson's comedy career. Before he played serious roles. His most prominent film is probably "Forbidden Planet," which is considered one of the best science-fiction films from the 50's. I highly recommend reacting to it. If you two are open to watching older movies.
Dont call me Shirley is a regular quote in our family.
Great review, you two! You were hilarious! Your conversations before and during the movie were the best. I liked how Hannah looked at Ash after the "marriage minded" exchange. Best watch of Airplane I can remember!
I fucking love the relationship you two have. Not to take anything away from my main man, but Hannah really is something else. Dying laughing
This is the ancestor of all comedy movies nowadays
And the older episodes of "Family Guy". Especially the older episodes of "Family Guy".
@@canaisyoung3601 you know it!
Mel Brooks rocks!!
- Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, Robinhood Men in Tights, Princess Bride, History of the World Part 1, I, Frankenstein…
Mel Brooks has nothing to do with this movie. And Princess Bride was Rob Reiner, not Mel Brooks
@@alexanderdgray you’re correct! I had Leslie Nielsen on the brain and was thinking of Dracula: Dead and Loving It… sorry!!
Air plane is actually an ZAZ movie (Zucker Abrahams Zucker). They've also been responsible for two more extremely hilarious movies: The Naked Gun and my favorite Top Secret.
I've seen this film so many times that it doesn't make me laugh like it used to but your reactions had me absolutely pissing myself, thank you! 🤣
Loved watching this with you two! Ash, you laughed like my friend Gregg (RIP) laughed when we watched this together, and it made me smile. Today would have been his birthday. Airplane was one of his favorites.
“Hospital? What is it?” “It’s a big building with patients.”
25:00 she was so devastated when he brushed off the marriage talk. Tears welling up in her eyes and it took her a good minute to stuff down the pain and try not cry.
What kinda comment is this 😂 corny asl
It's her comment about the ring that made me giggle.
Lloyd Bridges, Robert Stack, Lesley Nielsen were all very serious leading men. Barbara Billingsley ( Jive Lady ) played the mother on Leave it to Beaver, the epitome of the 50s suburban housewife. This was such shock. We all loved it! To understand how it hit us, imagine Derek Jacoby, Laurence Olivier, or Sean Connery doing this!!!🧓🎭📽️😎
Younger audiences are probably going to start being all like "SEAN WHOOOOOOOOO?" so let's just say Liam Neeson reviving Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin for an upcoming Naked Gun movie. Hopefully Akiva Schaffer does it justice. If it's at all like Hot Rod, it'll be good.
The perfect parody of the disaster film genre, and the one that turned actor Leslie Nielson into a comedic actor, who would go on to star in *_The Naked Gun_* trilogy.
And *Fun Trivia Fact:* This film is a parody of a 1957 film called *_Zero Hour!,_* parodying its more serious plot of the pilots and passengers becoming ill from the plane food, and one of the passengers - a former war pilot - being relied on to fly and land the plane safely.
👍I think Airport 1975 was the more direct target. I can’t remember if I watched that movie but I did read the book Airport (Arthur Hailey, 1968j which spawned a series of disaster movies Airport (1971) and Airport 1975, -77, -79 sequels. This is a fat target for parody.
Airplane and Airplane 2, The naked gun 1, 21/2, 3 3/4, Hot Shots 1 and 2, Top Secret, more or less the same crew behind the cameras. Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker (ZAZ) gave us in the 80s and 90s some of the best laughs of our lives. No buundaries, no stupid limitations, they could mock of whatever they wanted. Sad times now, where everythinbg has been ruined by all the stupid limitations of this era we are living in. Your reactions are so funny, as always.
16:36 I DIED on the spot ☠️🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact: pilots in the same airplane are not allowed to eat the same food, in order to avoid things like this movie happening.
Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home was a TV commercial at the time, for Yuban Coffee, where the wife didn't know she was buying and making bad coffee. And the casting folks for Airplane didn't realise the actress they hired WAS the lady from that commercial!
Some of this humor, being from 1980, while of contemporaneous pop culture back then, is a bit dated for younger generations today (but still side-splitting). Some explanations:
-- Boy's Life was an actual magazine (unlike Nun's Life...)
-- The lady who 'spoke jive', Barbara Billingsley, played June Cleaver on the squeaky-clean 50s sitcom 'Leave it to Beaver', often doing household chores or cooking while elegantly dressed in heels and pearls, and would never be expected to know 'jive' (or likely ever encountered a black person on-screen)
-- The 'win one for the Zipper' speech was very close to an actual speech from a famous 1940 sports movie 'Knute Rockne: All American', about dying college football star George Gip ('the Gipper'), with the musical theme being the Notre Dame College fight song
-- The Amana kitchen appliance corporation's first microwave oven was called the RadarRange Microwave Oven, so when they asked if the flight was within 'radar range', that's why the guy opened the radar display as if opening a microwave
-- "Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home" was from a popular Yuban coffee TV ad, with the housewife who buys some other brand besides Yuban at home, wondering why her '1-cup husband' is suddenly having a second cup while eating out (so, the joke being a popular commercial just referenced randomly in the dialog)
Finally, not necessarily a dated joke, but for non-American viewers, there really is a famous hospital in Minnesota called the Mayo Clinic. However, they have nothing to do with mayonnaise.... 😎
The Gipper was played by Ronald Reagan, possible also referenced with the "I haven't felt this bad since we watched that Ronald Reagan film".
hard to believe we're coming up on this movie's 50th year anniversary. Saw this in High School when it came out. Seen it at least 5 more times since. S-tier IMO.
I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you.
This is the most fun I have ever had watching a reaction! Brilliant entertainment, just fantastic! You guys don’t know how much I love watching you react xxx
The automatic pilot's name is Otto. See for yourself in the credits.
Hence the name “Otto pilot “… Autopilot.
@@stmn346 I simply assumed that everyone would get the obvious joke. I was pointing it out because not everyone reads the credits, which is the only place in which it appears.
That hilarious line (‘No thank you I take it black like my men) kills me 🤣🤣🤣
"...like my men. Plural.
And when the boy hears her say it, the look on his face is priceless. "I am in way over my head."
“Now we’re lucky if I’ve shaved..!” Guys. I almost passed away. One of the biggest laughs I’ve had all month.
Must be a jungle down there! haha
The way Leslie Nielson does his hands and looks around when the bird flies away is just genius physical humor.
If I'm lying I'm dying when I say that I've watched this reaction in your channel a dozen times or more. My favorite reaction ever, on your channel and anyone else's channel. I laugh so hard from watching you two laugh.
Ash, here's a trio of LOL comedies from your beloved late 70's/early 80's period: Animal House (1978), The Blues Brothers (1980) & Stripes (1981). There are more... 😄
Woefully inadequate amount of Johnny in this reaction. What a legend and one of the best side characters in cinema. That aside, this is one of the funniest films ever! Loved it guys.
I don’t know if the kids still use this slang, but I think Johnny is the impetus for the phrase “He extra”.
I also missed Kareem.
@@porflepopnecker4376 oh man, totally spaced that they cut out that whole interaction.
@Just Trust Ash - actually, flying in the US used to be worth a damn... that could have been economy class,.. in the 79s airlines didnt treat you like cattle.. you had room, got good meals on all long flights, didnt have to pay for every bag you checked in, and it was very common for people to fly wearing suits regardless of class because flying was still considered "high class" transportation.
As for the black guys - they were talking "jive" which was to the 70s what ebonics would be today. The old white lady that came up to translate for them was Barbara Billingsley.. she was the mother on the original Leave It To Beaver show in the 50s.. to see her talkiing jive was a total mind blow for people who recognized her.. soooo not what she was known for lol.
Sort of like if Dame Judi Dench was to start speaking really unintelligible cockney rhyming slang.
Best reaction duo I’ve seen! Subscribed.
Made in a time before being a victim was a personality trait and the world had a sense of humour.
