@@noelht1 When you watch it, you are like that was stupid and that was not funny, but I am still laughing. I think it's a combination of it's so corny that you kind of laugh and when they are throwing 3 - 5 jokes, gags at you a minute, if you just laugh at 1 or 2 of them, you will be laughing through much of the movie.
The dialog written wasn't actually used, according to the "making of" feature. The two actors were friends from school and used to talk like this for fun, so they implemented it into the movie instead of the "jive" written by some honkey True story, bleeed
@@Johnfromaustralia Classic! I was watching someone reacting to that movie recently on RUclips and when that scene happened they didn't even notice it. I was like, "Hey! Didn't you see what just happened?"
These gentlemen not only pulled off a "language", but did it with a spirit of broad humor and self deprecation that was so mature and refreshing, as well as capable of DESTROYING the negative stereotypes of that particular time period. I remember watching this in the theater and MELTING because it took all of my preconceived ideas and prejudices out of me, and stomped them into the ground. I will always be grateful to Allan White, and Norman Gibbs for creating such a wonderful moment of cinematic history...
I never thought of Airplane as a movie which destroyed stereotypes . Now I see it did ,much like Blazing Saddles did by getting racism and dragging it out outside and throwing a bucket of cold water on it.
Classic. So glad to see these two actors in real life and hear their take on this not to mention the writers and how they visualized doing it. Absolutely classic.
These guys, SERIOUSLY, need to be in the Hall of Fame. Nothing will ever be done like that again.... and thank God. Because you can't possibly top this. It's not possible. Nope. Not at all. And I agree... the reverse subtitles are so frickin' hilarious!
Airplane was so, so amazing! As a kid I used to watch it with my brothers and even today I can watch again and laugh like hell. Absolute diamond comedy! The jive was just another awesome part of the film. I've been looking around for dictionaries of jive and the only ones I could really find are from the 30s or are on the internet as small glossaries. Still, these guys obviously took it to a whole new level!
And they were so thorough and scientific about it! It had to consistent and follow a natural rhythm - they should have been given degrees in linguistics
So, my buddy snuck us into this movie as 6th graders, his older sister worked at the theater- I was positive we'd get caught but nothing happened. The best thing anyone's ever done for me, hands down. Thanks Brian! (And Michelle)
I know, right? If this movie were made now, all the jokes would be run into the ground to the point they would stop being funny. Movies don't have a sense of subtlety anymore.
I don't know that I expected them to talk jive in real life, but their ultra-crackerized delivery in this interview is blowing my mind. Well done, sirs.
The countless times I've seen this film and it still makes me laugh so hard. I know so many many lines from it although committing the jive speak to memory has been a challenge. Even the shots of the plane flying makes me laugh, knowing it's showing a jet plane, but they added propeller engine sounds in homage to the original Zero Hour.
Elaine: Would you gentlemen care to order your dinners? First Jive Dude: Bet, babe. Slide a piece o' da' porter. Drinks, I run da' java. Second Jive Dude: Lookie here. I can dig grease 'n chompin' on some buns and draggin' through the garden.
@@pythonfan1 I took it to mean include a salad with that. I've tried ordering steak dragged through the garden in restaurants (not with jive talk), but they never get it.
Jive dudes interview response should've been - "We was stylin' an profilin' baby! Dig this, pray to J ever'day, ain't nothin' to it, but to do it. We cool?" Translation - "We prepared our dialogue and we were very successful. Thank you."
Thats why I'm not successful. These two guys took a seemingly trivial part in a movie and scientifically prepared for it. And they were right to, it worked perfectly.
I saw Airplane with my parents... at the drive in movie theater... the scene where the poop hit the fan. I lost it and pee'ed myself (I was 6 or 7). It was the funniest thing I had ever seen in my life up to that point when that fan fell over.
In various dubs, they used different distinct dialects as jive, which, depending on the language, can actually be even funnier than the original. E.g. in German, they speak Bavarian, in Italian (IIRC) the Neapolitan dialect, Spanish was afaik Cuban and so on. That's certainly easier than jive since they are, for all practical purposes, complete languages.
I'm African American, it was funny then, and funny now. My friends and I were out, and heard a white girl speaking " Urban Vernacular", and I said to my friends, I didn't know she could speak jive lol. That's when I thought of this movie.
I remember seeing this with my wife (girlfriend at that time) when it first hit the theaters, and I remember laughing so hard during this scene I was having trouble catching my breath. I also remember my wife looking at me like I was insane, and pretty much the same thing happened to every other young couple sitting there. Definitely not a chick flick. Funny, funny stuff.
And that is why I consider myself a very luck guy. My significant other loves this movie...we pull this out once a year or so, and we still laugh like hell watching it. Not only that, we do the same with Blazing Saddles, The Naked Gun, The Jerk, Animal House and Monty Python and the Holy Grail...and we laugh like idiots. The scene that really sets her off is "Candygram for Mongo." And one of her favorite movie lines is "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" How can you not love a woman with this sort of taste in movies?
Someone please link to the entire interview I would like to see that whole piece. I love that freaking movie. One of my best childhood memories right there! ☮️❤️🌈
That's why I live having grown up in a multi lingual and multi cultured place. Growing up my friends and I would make up our own jive talk and still use it today when we want to pass messages in secret.
Ive seen a couple of translations of what he said : 1. "Lookie here. I could dig greens, and trumpet on some butter and drag it through the garden" 2.Lookie here. I can dig grease 'n chompin' on some buns and draggin' through the garden. "Drag it through the garden", Is a slang that I heard from FAMILY GUY(which most likely got it FROM Airplane!, which means that you want.... a Salad with the accompanying meal.. LOL Thats my best explanation :)
I remember how a bunch of us saw the movie when it came out and afterwards, all we could talk about was the jive scene. Our attempts to speak jive never sounded as cool as the movie, but it was still a good laugh!

I laughed about as hard as when I saw the original bit. Hilarious!
that was genial

I noticed that part and was dying Hahahhahaha shiiiiiiiet
"Oh, stewardess -- I speak jive!" has got to be one of the funniest lines in the history of American cinema.
Especially from Mrs Cleaver
Especially with Barbara Billingsly doing the part of "jive lady"
The whole film is a masterpiece of continuous catch phrases. It’s wonderful

But they didn’t use the dialogue that was written … were you not listening young Daniel ? 😜
talent ? comes by them naturally
@@jonesy4588this is why we can't have nice things
The icing on the cake is when the two jive brothers say "shit..." at the end and the subtitle says "golly!"

Absolutely platinum film history. It's a shame these guys never had their own show.

Whoever decided to have Beaver Cleaver's mom translate deserves a medal.
Congressional Medal of Honor.
That scene with the verbose sub-titles was brilliant.

And I agree... the reverse subtitles are so frickin' hilarious!
Just the "Sheeit" translated as "Golly" was enough to throw me onto the theater floor.
The two actors brought their professionalism and that a high-level they already had everything ready to go
The scene is still hilarious even if you don't know that lady is Beaver's mom.
Fun fact #2: Her husband encouraged her to take the role! He thought it's hilarious if she was speaking jive (which it was)!
Ward, aren't you being a bit hard on the Beaver?
I remember in the theater when she appeared and the audience busted out laughing.
I was not expecting them to reverse subtitle the interview, that got a belly laugh out of me just now
Back when we know how to make fun of each other and not get mad.
“Cut me some slack, Jack!”

The way I describe it is "a live action MAD Magazine".
The non-jive subtitles - pure comedic genius 😂
Very considerate to add jive subtitles for jive speakers.
Minute for minute, the funniest movie ever made, hands down.
So, my buddy snuck us into this movie as 6th graders, his older sister worked at the theater- I was positive we'd get caught but nothing happened. The best thing anyone's ever done for me, hands down. Thanks Brian! (And Michelle)
The jive translation when they were explaining the making of the scene was a nice touch! 😂
Golly!
I love this movie!
I remember the Greaseman used to use this hilarious Jive bit all the time on his radio show.
I love that in the interview, they're speaking conversational and educated american english and the subtitles are completely wack hahahaha
This is GOLD. In 2020, we need to understand and laugh at each other!
Great movie
Your skit will live forever and is just as funny today as it was then thank you!!
I like how in the movie they didn't over use this scene that was imo one of the funniest, they used it perfectly about 3 or 4 times I believe. 👏
I know, right? If this movie were made now, all the jokes would be run into the ground to the point they would stop being funny.
Movies don't have a sense of subtlety anymore.
Felamine I agree and that is spot on. Movies and even Sitcoms today are not as funny as they used to be for that very reason.
Billy Gonzalez
Blazing Saddles has many parts that not only wouldn't be made but would get you thrown out of the studio for even suggesting them
My absolute favorite episode of the series
"Lookie here". Best line of the entire movie. : )
the Jive part of Airplane is totally one of the funniest parts!
Man, I love this clip, and the humor of adding the jive subtitles.
I don't know that I expected them to talk jive in real life, but their ultra-crackerized delivery in this interview is blowing my mind. Well done, sirs.
My god, they were subtitled in Jive during the interview. 100% A+.
Jim never vomits at home....
In the Italian version they used Naples' dialect. It makes one laugh to death as well, especially the distinguished old lady.
One of my favorite scenes from that classic movie!! In a movie filled with funny scenes, this one always has me LOL!
"Don't be so naive. Arthur." hahahahaha!
The entirety of how this Jive talk in Airplane came to be is both brilliant and funny as hell! 😂😂😂
One if the best skits in the whole movie

The military should have also used jive talking for code talkers
I was so enthralled with seeing Al White and Norman Alexander Gibbs speaking clear English, that I totally missed the Jive subtitles!
Holy shit, the jive subtitles made me choke on my lunch!!! Too cool!!!
It was some of the funniest parts of that movie. They were perfect for the part and were hilarious
SURELY, that is a 100% accurate statement. :-)
The part that always gets me is "shiiiiit" translating to "golly."
Oh God! The jive subtitles! 😂😂😂
Saw this in a Memphis theater when I was 14. I spit my Pepsi out when Ms Cleaver said, “jive ass dudes ain’t got no sense, anyhow.”
Thats why I'm not successful. These two guys took a seemingly trivial part in a movie and scientifically prepared for it. And they were right to, it worked perfectly.
Jive talking, this was great talking, she talked it great!!!!!

one of the best comedic scenes - ever
(too bad it w/couldn't even be made today)
Great film from the 80s! Love the Jive subtitles starting at 1:00!
hearing them speak in perfect Red White & Blue Americana English 45 years later but being subbed in jive makes this bit 10000x funnier
Just beautiful.thank you to everyone involved.
Love the subtitles in jive
fascinating to hear from the geniuses behind this scene. great post.
My boyfriend and I know every line to this film...every one. This is one of THE best films ever made!!!
It was brilliant....I still laugh out loud when I hear it....Must be 100 times or more....
