@@USCFlash all great movies huge vacation fan Kentucky fried movie one of the funniest movies ever made 🥨
"My Favorite Year" (1982) It's a romantic comedy drama with a little action.
Possibly one of the greatest comedies of all time.
Possibly? 🤔🤨
... Altogether.
They need to see Blazing Saddles
Plus The Producers (1967) & Young Frankenstein to complete the early Mel Brooks trilogy
Let's not forget about Planes, Trains and Automobiles.....
The genius of this movie is that these were mostly serious actors delivering very silly lines but they played it straight.
@3:46 “is that mayonnaise?”
Yes, they said it was the Mayo Clinic.
"I just want to tell you both: good luck, we're all counting on you."
👍😎
Haha! Thank you!!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment that's what Bill Murray tells the pilots when he flies. He got it from this film
In Scary movie 3 they did an ode to this scene.
I bursted out in laughter, nobody else did, it was a full theater and everyone turned and looked at me. I was in the back row.
What little faith in humanity I had was lost on that day lol.
So many people miss the incredible sight gag of Kramer walking through the mirror. It is so seamless as to not catch the eye for most viewers.
Yes, I never caught it. I only know of it from reading a comment section similar to this!
Yes it's a simple yet clever moment 👍. Another classic is from the sequel when William Shatner spots the Enterprise.
Yeah, most people don't catch it. I saw this when it came out (I was 8) and it took me till I saw it later when I was 12 or so before I noticed it. Most reaction channels don't catch it.
@musiclife8893or when the plane starts to take off it sounds like a locomotive 🚂
True
The elderly "jive speaking" woman was Barbara Billingsley, the mom from "Leave it to Beaver". That was an extremely popular show from the late '50s. It was a very very straight laced show as was her character. Speaking jive was a great comedic turn for her.
The 2 black guys taught her how to speak jive.
@clbdyc The 2 made up their own "jive" which made it even more funny.
She said that after her scene in "Airplane" she started getting tons of fan mail, like tons.
Reactors are always so distracted by the dog they miss the guy walking out of the mirror.
My favorite sight gag in the movie!
None of the actors in this movie had ever done comedy before. They are all known for dramatic roles. Leslie Neilsen got his start doing comedy in Airplane, before that he was known for serious "leading man" parts.
Here are a few references that you may not have gotten since the film was released in 1980;
1) The woman who was surprised by her husband having a 2nd cup of coffee. That actress was the spokesperson for Yuban coffee. In 1980, the audience would have recognized her from those ads from the 1970s. Her inner monologs were word for word the Yuban commercial.
2) The speech that the doctor gave, inspiring Ted to "win one for the Zipper," was parodying another movie called Knute Rockne, All American. In it, a coach gives a rousing speech "to win one for the Gipper." Ronald Reagan, who played the Gipper in that movie, was running for president when the film was released. The film inadvertently helped to become a big part of his campaign.
3) Many people felt the film was inspired by the Airport films from the 1970s. While there are a few scenes that directly parody those movies, the majority of this movie is almost word for word taken from a 1950s film called Zero Hour. Paramount had to buy that rights to Zero Hour before they could release Airplane for fear that they would be sued. There is a RUclips video showing several scenes that are verbatim.
4) The actress that spoke jive was Barbara Billingsley, the mother on Leave It To Beaver TV series from the 1950s. Perhaps the "whitest" show ever on television, that scene with her delivering those lines was pure genius.
Zero Hour was written by Arthur Hailey who also wrote Airport.
@@JuandeFucaU Ronald Reagan won the 1980 election and was sworn in for office in January, 1981.
It wasn't just a satire and spoof of the disaster movies, and specifically the airport disaster movies of the time, and a word for word spoof of Zero Hour, it was also a SHOT FOR SHOT spoof of Zero Hour. Plus there were a lot of inside jokes relative to Zero Hour, such as Kareem Abdul Jabar, a famous pro athlete, playing the same role as Elroy "CrazyLegs" Hirsch, a famous athlete of the time, in the original Zero Hour. They essentially did a shot for shot remake of Zero Hour. Even the strident melodramatic tone of Zero Hour has a certain comedic quality before you add the absurdist satire.
This is actually the film that started Leslie's comedy career. Prior to this he'd always done "straight" roles (for example, in the classic SF film, "Forbidden Planet"). But here, he got to be funny, *really* funny...and he liked it.
@@trolleyfan well, not only that, but the comedy absolutely depended on him playing it totally straight and serious, and that also went for Robert Conrad, Peter Graves, and Lloyd Bridges as well. Up until this point they were all heavies, playing serious pivotal roles, vs. a Soupy Sales or Jerry Lewis type coming in and doing a total spoof or send up on the role of the heavy.
The producers did not expect the "Jive" jokes to translate when the movie was dubbed in German, but they heard the audiences laughing harder than American audiences. They found out the Jive had been dubbed in Bavarian with German subtitles. Turns out none of the other Germans can understand Bavarians.
I can tell you it didn't works that well in French. :D
So many bits are lost in translation. The "entirely kind of flying altogether" was doomed from the start.
Stimmt!
You got rid of my favorite part: the pilot talking to Joey "Joey, do you like gladiator movies?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Have u ever been in a Turkish prison?"
Yes and if (and as) the humor here is often dumb (but keeps coming like rapid fire) I think exception is captain and his crew starting the flight with: "Roger, Roger! What's our clearance Clarence"-episode, that's genius comedy and everything but dumb ideas behind that. And they skipped that too???
Top Secret starring Val Kilmer is a fun spoof movie that a lot of people overlook.
3rd person to mention this so I’m thinking we will check it out!! Thanks!
@Force Of Light Entertainment same people that made this that top secret. And hot shots. ( top gun spoof)
@@ForceOfLightEntertainmentade by the same people or some of the same people; Top Secret !, The Kentucky Fried Movie, BASEketball, Airplane but not the sequel, Naked Guns (as you know), Hot Shots (1&2), Rat Race.
I love the fact that every time the jet is shown flying it’s making a propeller driven airplane sound
And the thunder… aren’t planes flying above clouds? :)
Yeah, but a lot of people miss that.
One of the greatest misdirects in cinema has also proven to be one of the hardest for reactors to spot. During the scene where the dog is attacking the driver, Cpt Kramer comes in from the right and appears to be getting dressed in the mirror in front of him, and we can see the dog attack behind him. Then, when Kramer leaves, he appears to walk through the mirror on the left, again while the dog is still attacking the poor sap sent to pick up Kramer.
I'm happy I noticed it the very first time I saw it.
Being made in 79 and released in 80 this movie feels more like a 70s movie than an 80s one to me.
It really does!
"Jimmy. Have you ever seen a grown man naked?" LOL
There's a post credit scene of the guy in the cab is still sat there lol. One of my favourite comedys
What was so brilliant about this was that Peter Graves and Leslie Nielsen were both very famous and respected and very serious actors. So their very deadpan delivery of such very silly material which was completely new (this was one of the first spoofs) was so refreshing. Graves doing the very inappropriate comments to the child was very risqué. But it's still funny every time I watch it.
@@o0pinkdino0o Peter Graves from mission impossible
Saw this movie when it first came out and loved it. But learning more about it and the spoofs they do, by getting the real people, continually amazes me.
The battling of the red zone/white zone at the beginning was done by the actual married couple who announced at LAX and whose voices were well known.
The woman who says "Ralph never has a second cup of coffee, throws up at home" was the real person in a tv ad for instant coffee.
😁 YES! Natalie is one of the only few reactors that caught the baby being thrown in the beginning!
Thanks for that info. I have seen this movie many times and I never noticed that.
The beach scene was from "From Here to Eternity" . It was Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr.
Yup, that woman threw her baby in the air and ran away when the airplane came through the airport window (2:57). Good catch. You are the first reactors to notice that little detail. Took me 3 or 4 viewings before I noticed it myself.
"Monty Python" is a classic. However, "Airplane!" started an entire genre of spoof movies, not just its sequels, but other franchises like "Naked Gun" and "Hot Shots." Also, you've got to watch all the way through the credits.
Whomever edited this got rid of the "Cream!" "No thank you, I take it black like my men!" line, but for the most part you did pretty well! This came out in 1980, I was 15, I know every line and still laugh hysterically! Glad you ladies liked it! Now, you need to react to the first Naked Gun and Hot Shots movies, very funny and silly!
Pretty sure because of You Tube restrictions and maybe to protect the FOL channel, that had to be left out. Same with the scene between Peter Graves and Billy in the cockpit and a few others.
@@doberski6855 Not so sure about that, every other reaction to this I've seen includes those scenes.
@@doberski6855 Also notice the deflating autopilot and horse in bed scenes were also edited out but the violent ones such as the woman getting slapped are still in lt. Good old fashion twisted Western moral standards, lol.
@D Oberski ok, no problem, but in all airplane reactions, and there have been a bunch, that scene is always there!
@@karlschmitt6359 Any number of reasons for the clips that FOL selected to use, ranging from editing for their channel standard, to whether they found it funny enough or not, and the main one. Trying to keep this video to a reasonable length. Let's face it there are a lot of great choices in Airplane to go with. Still trying to decide if I agree with them that Holy Grail is funnier then Airplane. Think that is a subject for another video or maybe their next livestream.
I think one of the most impressive and interesting facts about this Movie is that the overwhelming majority of the Actors and Actresses had either ZERO Conedic training, nor had they EVER been in a Comedy Movie up to that point!
These were major Actors and Actresses and even Awawrd Winners in this Cast! A couple of them have won big time Awards for Acting...
Before this, Leslie Nielsen had never been in a real Comedy.
Could you imagine never having witnessed the brilliance of a Leslie Nielsen Comedy Movie?!?
Thank you, Airplane!
Great, fun reaction! 👍 *A little obscure trivia:* The guy sitting in the taxi was Howard Jarvis. From Wiki: "Howard Arnold Jarvis was an American businessman, lobbyist, and politician. He was a tax policy activist responsible for passage of California's Proposition 13 in 1978." At the time, he was well-known in California but probably not as much so in the rest of the USA. The joke in the movie is that he was for fiscal responsibility in government but he sat passively in the taxi letting the fare get larger and larger. Even at the time, I think a lot of people didn't get the joke or recognize Jarvis. BTW, The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association still exists. Cheers!
Some say he's still sitting in that taxi.
@@bertpunkaficionado8357 Those saying that probably missed the post credit scene.
Jarvis and his Proposition 13 actually got national coverage (including Jarvis' face on the cover of _Time_ in June 1978), so even a Midwesterner like me recognized him in this, in 1980.
And like alot of movie reactors they missed the jarvis joke at end of the credits...(joking:) if they would of saw it he would of finally (after 40 plus years) have gotten out of that cab...
@@bertpunkaficionado8357 that sounds like one of those lines Jeremy Clarkston (from top gear) would say about the
Stig....
Leslie took to his newfound career in comedy pretty well. For years he would carry around one of those spongeblock noisemaker things (the kind like you'd find in the back of a comic book) and just constantly see how often he could set it off in public settings before anyone would comment.
I just want to tell you both, good luck. We're all counting on you.
😂🤩
Surely the jokes in this film never get old 😁
Never.
And quit calling me Shirley.
He keeps talking about “the war” and the aerial combat flashbacks all look like they’re from WW2, some even from WW1, while the bar flashback music is clearly then-recent ‘70s disco music.
The iconic shot of the beach scene kiss is From Here to Eternity.
The funny part about the jive talking woman is she played June Cleaver on Leave It To Beaver.
Most reviewers miss the fact that all through the movie the jet airliner makes propeller noises. 😂
A comedy classic that never gets old. Without this movie there never would have been a Police Squad, or Naked Gun, or Hot Shots. Great reaction! A fun road comedy from the 80s that's worth a watch is "The Cannonball Run" (1981). It has an Allstar cast from the time period and is a lot of fun. It has Jackie Chan in it which was one of his first appearances in an American film. In fact the bloopers during the end credits inspired Jackie to place bloopers at the end of all his films from then on.
Oh, stars yes! Cannonball Run is one of the funniest movies ever!
After "Airplane!" and before "The Naked Gun," there was "Police Squad," a TV series that only had 6 episodes, and was the basis of the three "Naked Gun" movies. It was one of the funniest shows ever on television, and it was cancelled only because network executives didn't think viewers should have to watch the show to get the jokes. (They figured people only put the TV on to listen to while doing other things.) Highly recommended!
Definitely one of the best comedies of all time surely you can’t be serious. I am serious and don’t call me Shirley.🤣😂
If you like this style of screwball comedy, you can't beat the originals. The Marx Brothers' movies were made in the 1930s but the comedy stands up today. "A Night at the Opera," "Duck Soup," "Animal Crackers," "Horse Feathers"...
If you've never seen Groucho, Chico, Harpo, and Zeppo in action, give them a try.
There's also a 1992 film produced by the Zuckers (who did Airplane! and Hot Shots!) called Brain Donors that's like the Marx Brothers reincarnated. It's actually based on A Night at the Opera, with ballet instead. Check that out too if you want to see more screwball comedy.
I am serious, and don't call me Shirley. By the way, this film was Leslie Nielsen's first comedic role. Before this movie, he was known for playing more serious roles.
Never knew he did serous rolls!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment you will find also that this movie is full of jokes, you may or may not be able understand all of them. By the way, the couple arguing over the loudspeaker, were real airport announcers that did the White zone and Red zone. Back then you could smoke on airplanes. There were religious people all over the airport looking for donations. The woman who speaks Jive "the language those two gentleman were speaking", was Barbara Billingsby, June Cleaver from Leave it to Beaver sitcom.
One of Nielsen's most famous roles was as a spaceship captain in "Forbidden Planet," a 1956 science fiction film loosely based on Shakespeare's "The Tempest." It was a major inspiration for the original "Star Trek."
@@ForceOfLightEntertainmentjoking: ya'll should see how seriously yummy my🥐 rolls🥐 are!
Yes!! First reactor I've seen call out the baby when the jet crashes thru the window!!
20:27 Some of the humor is subtle. So many viewers initially miss the "not-a-mirror" gag because of the dog shenanigans.
I have watch two other "Airplane" react videos on RUclips by other rather young women and they too also missed the "not-a-mirror" gag. It seems that the majority of women are watching the dog and physical humor and miss the much more subtle and cerebral mirror / photography gag, which is more impressive.
I loved that you caught the baby being thrown in the air, no one catches that the first time. The guy cleaning the windshield was Jimmy "JJ" Walker from the Good Times tv show. The beach scene is "From Here To Eternity". When Randi is singing to the girl and everyone shifts and looks into the camera with smiles is taken directly from "Airport". One of several disaster movies of the 70's. The guy in the cab is still there at the end of the credits. Another silly spoof but funny movie is "Young Doctors In Love". "Tropic Thunder" is another very funny movie that's considered politically incorrect. Too many people can't handle movies like that anymore with all their over sensitivty.
Just rewatched this,apart from the surely/shirley jokes the one`s that floored me were "looks like I picked the wrong to give up amphetamine,sniffing glue etc 🤣🤣🤣
One of my favorite comedies ever and I love how crazy and funny it is to watch it. It also feels like a fun trip on a plane when you watch it.
"Can you fly this plane, and land it?"
"Surely you can't be serious."
"I am serious... and don't call me Shirley."
Classic comedy. Laugh a minute and very quotable.
Fun Fact: In a 2008 interview, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar told the story of being on a European flight and asked to sit in an empty seat in the cockpit during takeoff so the crew could say they flew with Roger Murdoch.
White-Red Zone Fact: Regarding the argument between announcers concerning the white and red zones at the airport, the producers hired the same voice artists who had made the real-world announcements at Los Angeles International Airport. At the real airport, the white zone is for loading and unloading of passengers only, and there's no stopping in the red zone (except for transit buses). They were also married to each other in real life.
Casting Notes Fact: Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker chose actors such as Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, and Leslie Nielsen because of their reputation for playing no-nonsense characters. Until this film, these actors had not done comedy, so their "straight-arrow" personas and line delivery made the satire in the movie all the more poignant and funny. Bridges was initially reluctant to take his role in the movie, but his sons persuaded him to do it.
Huh, I didn’t think there were any gags left that I didn’t already know about, but I’ve somehow never come across that fact about the airport PA voice actors actually being from LAX.
You're the first to notice the baby being thrown into the air when the airplane goes thru window at the beginning! It's one of the parts that really cracked me up when I saw it in the theater and I've been waiting for someone to react! Nice!!
I always lose it when Robert Stack takes off his sunglasses only to have another pair of sunglasses.
I apologize for stating my age, 68 but for context it’s important I state it to say Airplane is in my top ten comedies still to this day.😂
Natalie sure loves goofball humour! That's really cute to see!
Having seen this in the theater, I was able to enjoy a lot of the jokes referencing TV and movies of that time. Before this movie, most of these actors only played serious roles, such as Leslie Nielsen. Lloyd Bridges' claim to fame was TV's 'Sea Hunt', which included his real life sons, Beau and Jeff (The Dude). The woman who spoke jive was June Cleaver of the TV's 'Leave It To Beaver'. Both shows could still be seen in reruns when this movie was released.
'Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home' is from a coffee commercial, and they even used the same actors.
Lol! That was a great first watch video. I had fun watching yall laugh at it. I was cracking up when Natalie lost it over "Nun's Life"! 😂
I believe that this was Leslie Nielson's first venture into comedy.
He did a 1973 _M*A*S*H_ episode where he was basically this guy.
The Mayo clinic and the jars of Mayonnaise on the shelf in the background as the Mayo clinic doctor is talking on the phone with the pilot is still funny after all these years. 😅
The '70s were an incredible decade for comedy. Here's an incomplete list of the best: "Holy Grail" (which you've seen), Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles (be ready for a rough ride!), Annie Hall (A COMEDY that won best picture!), Love and Death, Animal House, Monty Python's Life of Brian, What's Up Doc?, M*A*S*H, The Pink Panther Strikes Again (Which is part of a series but is so standout that it can be watched on its own), etc, etc, etc...
That's a good list.
If you would have not turned off the credits, at the end the guy is still in the taxi and says, "I'll just give him five more minutes". And don't call me Shirley.
I saw this in a theater in 1980, and 42 years later I spot stuff I've never seen before.
Funniest movie ever made IMO.
Thank you ladies for doing this one.
Try Top Secret! by the makers of Airplane!
Thanks for watching!
It took me way to long to notice the mayo jars at the May Clinic.
I think this was the first time Leslie Nielson did a comedy. He was always a serious actor before, so this was him breaking character which, of course, led to a new phase of his career as a comic actor.
The two black guys speaking 'jive' wrote their own lines....I think we can all agree they did a great job. Their scenes are very memorable.
They taught her how to speak it
@@DoctorVell Oh yeah, I forgot about that part. They wrote her lines too. That's just awesome.
"Hey home I can dig it" 🤣
The bridge between Airplane and the Naked Gun movies is a six episode miniseries called Police Squad.
In Airplane they hired dramatic actors to treat silly material completely straight. Police Squad continued that. But as Leslie Nielsen continued in comedy, he started mugging for the camera more, and by the time he did a movie version of Police squad...
I've seen this movie a thousand times, and I have NEVER noticed the baby being thrown until you mentioned it!
I just want to tell you both “good luck, we’re all counting on you!”…
A comedy that never gets old, I can still laugh even though I have watched it countless times. Thanks for the reaction.
Two beautiful woman watching a comedy classic? YES PLEASE! Great reaction!
This is Leslie Neilsons first Comedy Movie. If you want to see what I mean, watch Forbidden Planet and the original Posiden Adventure
I'm so glad you watched Airplane!
It's an entirely different type of movie, all together
I just want to tell you both good luck with this reaction. We’re all counting on you.
Airplane is such a 80's classic, and I still remember how hard I laughed the first time I watched this movie. It was a lot of fun watching you react to this.
My favorite part of this reaction was watching the look on their face as they were speaking jive and it was like are we allowed to laugh at this?
😂😂
"I came home early and read your note, I guess you meant for me to read it later."
The plot largely follows the air disaster movie Zero Hour, but they also make fun of the Airport movies ('76 is where the singing stewardess comes from).
For another ZAZ comedy - Top Secret, with Val Kilmer
“Tropic Thunder” is the last of the great, anything goes, comedies. Your reactions are FUN❗💜🍸
It really was! Thank you!!
Just for historical context, this movie is parodying the 70s trend of disaster movies, but specifically parodying the "Airport" movies, starting with "Airport," released in 1970, followed by a number of sequels: Airport 1975, Airport '77, and The Concord ... Airport '79. These movies were star-studded movies about airplanes in crisis. The first starred Burt Lancaster and Dean Martin.
I think Natalie's face turned as red as her hair with the auto pilot inflation scene....lol
Funniest movie 😊
Great movie. Yes - I'm serious and quit calling me Shirley.
I know there are other recommendations for this - Top Secret! starring Val Kilmer. As this is an earlier movie for Val than Top Gun - it shows a totally different side of him. It is a comedy in the vein of Airplane! I think you will enjoy it.
Any Monty Python movie I think will bring a smile to your face. Maybe also check out the Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers - I think you would like those as well.
Happy watching Ladies.
"The Pink Panther" series was a rare case in which the sequels ("A Shot in the Dark," "Return of the Pink Panther," and "The Pink Panther Strikes Again") were much funnier than the original. I'm not saying that the original wasn't good, but the series improved as it went on.
I saw it in the theatre in 1980 when it was released. One of the best comedies ever.
You left out one of the best jokes:
"Cream?"
"No thank you. I take it black, like my men."
Great reaction! Classic movie! One of my favorites! 😊
I just want to say: Good luck with your channel, we are all counting on you.
The team that made this also made: Police Squad! The TV Series, The Naked Gun Trilogy, Hot Shots 1 &2, & Top Secret!
Arguably, the funniest movie ever made.
I think the vast number of reactors didn't get the Helman's mayonnaise joke during the Mayo clinic scene.
You missed the credits which contain dozens of jokes, and after the credits, the movie keeps going with an after-credit scene. (The taxi)
The coffee gag was a reference to a commercial in the 70's.
One of the things I don’t see a lot of people mention is how, when Leslie Nielsen took the eggs out of the lady’s mouth, one of them cracked open and the bird flew away. Bird flew = bird flu.
😂😂
Wrongfully Accused was the spoof on The Fugitive you were thinking of. There are three Naked Gun movies: The Naked Gun, The Naked Gun 21/2: The Smell of Fear & The Naked Gun 331/3: The Final Insult. Drakula: Dead and Loving is pretty good as well as the two Hot Shots movies. I agree that Top Secret should be on the list along with Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. Although with Blazing Saddles you’ll have to do some major edits. 😊
Such a great comedy. You ladies definetly check out more Zucker brothers movie. They followed this with the movie "Top Scret" starring Val Kilmer. It's definitely worth watching. Great reaction you two.
4th person to mention that movie! We will add it to the list!
Yes! "Top Secret" was a spoof of both WW2 spy movies and Elvis Presley movies, with a bit of "The Blue Lagoon" mixed in. Very funny!
The jive speaking old woman was Barbara Billingsley who played June Cleaver on Leave it to Beaver, that's what made it so great lol
"Chump don't want no help chump don't get no help" 😂
FUN FACT Director Cameo: Jerry Zucker, David Zucker (who made this movie): appear as the ground crew at the movie's beginning (they are the ones that direct the plane into the window of the terminal).
Their mother was the lady smearing the makeup all over her face in the plane.
I saw airplane & it was 300% funny as hell 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Spotting the baby gag and not mentioning how un-PC the film is warrants my subscription!
20:18 one of the easiest jokes in the movie to miss.
The camera pans to show his reflection, even the wife handing him stuff off screen.
But when he is ready to go his reflection steps through the mirror.
Leslie Neilson was a serious actor, he was one of three actors cast in AIRPLANE! Strictly because they were known as serious actors. This movie gave him a second movie career. Neilson starred in the science Fiction classic "Forbidden Planet"
Though I don't love everything, Airplane has some amazing jokes. The coffee kids, jive talkers, and Otto are all hilarious. And there are great running gags like Ted driving his seatmates to 😵 (the Japanese officer is James Hong from Big Trouble in Little China 😉), Johnny being Johnny, and the literalisms "They're on instruments!" 🎷🎺🎶
Don't forget David Leisure (Joe Isuzu) as "first Khrishna"
So glad I was shown this movie as a kid, I show all my friends who haven’t because I genuinely think it’s one of the best comedies ever made. Holy Grail is amazing though, that movie gold
the only thing better than good parody is watching a reaction of smart people laughing and appreciating the comedy. great job girls
OMG...Natalie the red your are STUNNING. Your hair is gorgeous. I LOVE you ❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍
P:S. Nice reaction both
Everybody cuts it off before the end credits scene. About 3 seconds but hilarious especially if you’ve sat through the whole credit sequence.
And he's still sitting there or dead while the meter is still going looking like the national debt....
Definitely the funniest film ever and the layers of jokes are insane, no matter how many times you see it you catch one more
The 2 dudes speaking jive have always been my favorite. Then june cleaver comes in and translates
i think you missed the scene after the credits with the man in the cab. great movie. the basic plot is based on a 1957 movie called Zero Hour!. after watching this if you get a chance to watch Zero Hour! you won't be able to keep a straight face. so many lines and camera angles from it were used in Airplane.
