43 years later, and it's still one of the funniest movies of all time. When my friends and I saw it in the theater back in 1980, we were laughing so hard at the jive-talking scenes that we were afraid we were going to get thrown out.
@@AntiAtheismIsUnstoppable Please, I could name 20 non-offensive jokes funny in this movie. Offensive and funny don't go hand in hand. It's more of a forced marriage that seems normal to some but outrageously unhealthy to others.
Funny movie. What is really good is that all the actors played it straight and no smirks. They must have had a few crackups trying to say those gag lines with a straight face. This film is pure entertainment.
When this movie was being made, I was working at a company called MacKenzie Laboratories in Arcadia, California. They made tape-loop message repeaters used at airports, including LAX in Los Angeles. The producers of “Airplane!” contacted MacKenzie’s CEO, Addison Taylor (nicknamed “Doc”), to find out who had recorded the voices on the LAX repeated message that said: “The white zone is for loading and unloading of passengers only. No parking!” It was repeated over and over by two voices, male and female. It happened that Doc (who had been a radio announcer) and his wife Pat had made those recordings-so they ended up being hired to tape the off-color comic dialog between the two voices in the movie. Little did they know at the time that they had played a small, uncredited part in what would become an iconic comic film.
The funniest parts of this movie was seeing otherwise serious actors like Peter Graves,Lloyd Bridges, Leslie Nielsen and Robert Stack play their parts with so much humor.
i was 16 when it came out. first movie i ever saw by myself. One of the funniest ever. ive seen many times since. they were so creative. the chemistry of the directing and acting was outstanding.
"Shana they bought their tickets they knew what they were getting into I say let them crash." That one and "...get a note to the milkman no more cheese." 😂😂😂
Starts with a slight fever, dryness of the throat. Then the virus starts itching, a rash. Then the victim becomes dizzy. Then the virus penetrates the central nervous system causing severe muscle spasms. Followed by the inevitable drooling. At this point the entire digestive system collapses. By now, the poor bastard becomes a wasted piece of jelly. (Sorry if I missed anything I did this based off of memory)
When I think that Peter Graves refused the role at first, saying he couldn’t do comedy and that they should get a comic actor instead…he was perfect here, mimicking all the symptoms!
One of the funniest movies ever made, i never get tired of watching it, same with top secret, police squad and the naked gun franchise, these movies are still slaying audiences decades after they were made...zaz at their best ♠️

"Hey... knock a self a pro, Slick! That gray matter backlot perform us DOWN, I take TCB-in', man!" Don't be so naive, Arthur. Each of us faces a clear moral choice.
Notice that Johnny, at around 6:28, looks at the newspaper and says, “There’s a sale at Penny’s”. Since he is reading the bottom part of the front page with fold down, the writing from his vantage point would be upside down.
The captain making those remarks about nude men to a kid and the passenger talking jive. Two jokes that unfortunately would not be included if the movie were made today, I think.
Although young black men today talk and dress very differently from these young black men 40 years ago. Today, they're all gangsta, hip hop, and walk and talk very differently than these guys in the video 40 years ago.
Yes I laugh at Lloyd Bridges lines. My favourite is, ''Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit glue sniffing.'' Then you see Lloyd hanging upside down sniffing the glue! 😂
i was probably 10 yrs old the first time i watched this and in the scene where the the black guy is speaking in slang, i had to read the subtitles to understand him. just a funny memory i have.
“Sir, maybe we should turn he searchlights on now.”
“No no, that’s just what they’d expect us to do.”
I quote that second line quite often. People over 40 usually get the reference, those younger do not.
"it's a big building with patients" 🤣🤣🤣
It's a big building where generals meet, but that's not important right now.
"Do you want me to check on the whether Clarence?" "No, why don't you take care of it."
"We have clearance Clarence,
Roger Roger what's a vector victor"...
That should be "weather".
Dr: What was it we had for dinner tonight?
Elaine: We had a choice, steak or fish.
Dr: Yes, i remember. I had lasagna.
My favourite line. It’s hilarious. 😂😂😂
Fkn facts lmao
You can’t take a guess for another two hours? 😂😂 Leslie Neilson had the best delivery.
Cracks me up 😂
one of the most sarcastic one liners ever. haha@@therobust
@@elgoogs1and delivered completely straight.
That was brilliant 😂😂😂😂
Don't call me Shirley.
jon122569 I like to think he really was calling him Shirley. It makes the scene even funnier to me.

The BEST stupid jokes movie of all time! Every actor was working against character and made it hilarious.
I was 10 years old!! I was cracking up!!! LOL
😂😂
I love when the kid says to Kareem my dad says you only hustle in the playoffs. Kareem gets pissed .
This is a master piece. 20 or 30 years later is still super funny. How many movies can say the same?
I hate to break it to you but it was actually 40 years ago. 😱

Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Caddy Shack, Blues Brothers, just to name a few.

No joke is ever forced in this movie. Probably the funniest movie i ever watched 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It offended each and every victim group. Today the leftists would throw them in prison for it
@@AntiAtheismIsUnstoppable Please, I could name 20 non-offensive jokes funny in this movie.
Offensive and funny don't go hand in hand.

Yes they will, and stop calling me Shirley
Nope.

I'm sure they had some crackups. Those outtakes are archived on the shelf of some warehouse.
You can tell me, I'm a doctor.
Surely you can't be serious?
+bravo075 I am serious and don't call me surely..
Jord905 I just want to tell you good luck, we're counting on you.
A hospital? What is it?
It's a big building with patients but that's not important right now
They gave Peter Graves the best lines ever. And he delivered in such a comedic/serious way.
Prior to this film coming out, I though that turning Peter Graves into a comedic actor would be mission impossible!!
The level of creativity they had in the scenes and dialogues were above and beyond today's standard comedy....
Now they let special effects guy handle it all!
"Get a note to the milk man, no more cheese!" That's line kill, me every time. Lloyd Bridges crushes every scene he's in.
I must have missed that one. And I've sent this movie many times
Unfortunately he picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.
You ever seen a grown man naked? 😅😂😂
They would never get away with that today.
Or the old lady stopping the N-bomb....
was just thinking about that line today
You ask kids that often?????
What makes this movie comical these actors are serious people who are being down right funny !!!!
If I’m not mistaken, this was Neilson’s first comic roll. He had been a serious actor for years. Airplane is a classic.
Yes I think so.....LOL
It was, and a legendary comedy career was born.
There is just never a good time to quit smoking, drinking, amphetamines, or sniffing glue.
So many things would never pass today. Man I’m so glad I was able to see this. I still watch this for laughs. Amazing!
"Passengers certain to die!"
"Airline negligent!"
"THERE'S A SALE AT PENNYS!!"
Just bought shoes...
Did I leave my iron on ???
Where did you get that dress... It's awful. And those shoes and that coat... GEEEEEEZZZZZZZ
Steven Stucker had the best lines in the movie. “I can make a hat a brooch a pterodactyl” 😂😂
The typing prior to the line and after its delivery helped the scene
Johnny was the best
Supposedly, he ad-libbed his lined.
You can't take a guess for another 2 hours!!! When I caught that joke...OMG!!! And Leslie with the straight face made it soo much better.
What mean
@@panchito1384 Watch the video.
I was dissappointed when my high school didnt offer Jive as a foreign language.
The jive scene kills me every single time.

That movie just makes me laugh so hard 😂

And don’t call me surely
Julie Haggerty was under appreciated.

Would you like a little whiskey mam?
Certainly NOT!!! 👃❄

Johnny - “Well that’s the Russian new year, we’ll have a big parade and serve hot Hors d'oeuvres” Baaahaaaaa absolutely hilarious line!!!!
“Nervous?”
“Yes.”
“First time?”
“No. I’ve been nervous lots of time.”
Lol
ok how can someone show the autopilot scene and not show the autopilot smilling after he's all blowed up?

Poor Siamese twins you would think he would have gave them the same job .
The funniest movie ever. Every scene is funny.
There's a sale at Penney's! 😂😂😂

What's so funny is that they keep a straight face.
and "Leave it to Beaver" mom June Cleaver appears to understand and speak Jive.

How about some more coffee?
Femmy voice:. "no, thanks"
the punchlines in this movie is gold .lol
The inflating of the auto pilot is the single funniest clip I’ve ever seen in a movie. I actually fell out the the theater seat from laughing so hard.
"Are you a doctor?"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"That's right" LOL

I saw this in the 90s as a teenager since my dad loved the movie, and I still quote it to this day!
My Son and I paid to stay in the Movie to watch this show TWICE!!!
One of my top 5 favorite movies of all time! I watch the DVD at least twice a year…every year!
This movie never gets old.
I worked on that movie as a prop builder.
Props to you 🤓
That actually sounds like a fun job
The jive scene is an American national treasure.

Really amazing video overall. Many thanks.
Joey, you ever spent time in the men's room at a bus station? Lol
Have you ever spent time in a Turkish prison
Can you imagine what the pussy people in this world would be like if this movie was released today?
Nobody today would tolerate this movie. Too many oversensitive crybabies
Scott Destan Both PC culture and cancel culture would kill it.
So sexual abuse of kids is --funny.....sending molesters to prison is--oversensitive??@@docsdomain
Hey...you're Kareem Abdul-Jabbar...
I love this comedy its brilliant
It feels like every line in this movie is a punchline to the previous line.
What did we have for dinner? Well we had a choice steak or fish. Ahh yes I remember I had lasagna
They definitely don’t make movies like this anymore. It’s the most literal movie 🎥 I’ve ever seen
I love the way they have subtitles for when the two Black men talk. The BBC would probably censor this bit of the film.
Notice that Johnny, at around 6:28, looks at the newspaper and says, “There’s a sale at Penny’s”. Since he is reading the bottom part of the front page with fold down, the writing from his vantage point would be upside down.
Shouldn't a clip called the funny bits just be the whole movie?
Never gets old.

I like movies about Gladiators...
Golly!
LOL 1:25 Straight up cho-mo
Smoking was the way to calm yourself from anything.
did anyone recognize the gag at 6:17?
Now i do.... So many sight and verbal gags, many of them occurring at the same time, it's easy to miss some.
"Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"
Funny as all get out. Good luck finding a movie made today this good.
