Watching you watch that automatic pilot reinflation scene with a straight face, and following it up with "That's why we lock the cockpit door now". I had to pause the video and wipe tears from my face.
Only Kelsey could do a satirical commentary about a satire, make it sound legit in tone, but wholly impossible in substance. Dude, you deserve some sort of film award for this. "He's flying with his emotional support bird." WTF!?
"Something that is very accurate is that you're seeing them dragging the crew members through the aisle". I literally spit the drink I had just taken out.
To all of those who haven’t seen this movie: you’re missing out. It’s one of the best slapstick comedy movies of all time. Anything with Leslie Nielsen is amazing
A couple of great things about Airplane: Other than the comedy bits, it's almost a shot-for-shot recreation of the 1957 movie "Zero Hour" The movie gave Leslie Nielsen a second career as a comedic actor. Before this, he'd only done "straight" roles. The key to any successful spoof is for the actors to play everything like it's not a comedy.
Hi Kelsey, I was a Flight Attendant back in the 70's when this movie came out, and along with the Tech Crew I went to see this movie in Hawaii. The whole movie theater was telling us to shut up because we were laughing so much at the silly little bits that people who had nothing to do with flying didn't get. Love your channel, it's very informative.
I saw it at the cinema when it first came out in the UK. In fact I saw it three times in eight days, and still missed about half the dialogue because there was just so much laughter. Didn't get to hear it all until it came out on DVD. Maybe they should have put subtitles on the cinema releases
Had almost the same issue watching "Airport 1979" while in Technical Training for the Air Force. The theater was on-base so pretty much most of the audience was tearing the movie apart from the start :)
Bill Murray was only known for his serious roles before this movie that is why he was so great in this role. He later played in The Naked Pilot where he was rejoined by Kareem Abdul Jabbar, before Kareem allegedly killed his wife and her lover and escaped in a white Bronco.
@@mattslupek7988 You missed his joke about getting names wrong- as we all know OJ Simpson killed his wife- nt Jabbar. So, he was just expanding the ongoing joke.
And exactly that is what bothers me most about this post. He used a ton of sarcasm throughout the "analysis", but didn't make it clear enough to people who don't, like me, have years of aviation related experience that he was really trying to be funny in numerous parts of it. I actually have to question anything else he posts about, now that he gives me reason to question if he's a pathological BS'er. The worst thing an "analyst" can do is inject sarcastic humor into a video that is sure to attract viewers who are looking for serious inputs.
@@ScottZane Well you know that this "analysis", Is not just for information, it's also a comedic and "sarcastic" rant. The video is made to allow a larger demographic of viewers than just the portion who want information. For that, you can watch his other videos that are dedicated to informing viewers.
@@oggdu3766 that's exactly the problem though. He normally posts videos that give more serious inputs about movies that he analyzes. When he already has an established subscriber base of people who watch his videos expecting to get objective analyses, do you really think a number of them will have half a clue that much of what he says in this video is deadpan humor BS? I think some other form of humor or at least a disclaimer in the description that this is a completely BS post intended entirely to amuse and only to amuse would have been reasonable, given what kind of reputation he had previously already established with viewers. Not my channel and not my place to tell him how to do his own videos, but the way this one particularly was done still gives me reason to now question the accuracy of literally every other video he has previously posted and any video he posts in the future. That's how horrible an idea I think it is to use deadpan type humor in anything remotely analytical in nature.
Prior to Airplane!, Nielson was only cast in serious roles, so he had the chops to play Dr. Rumack as a comedic straight man. Almost all the characters are played dead straight by actors not known for comedy (Bridges, Stack, Graves, etc.), which is why the movie is damn funny.
the whole point of Neilsen was that in Airplane and police squad he was the straight guy. the humour was in his non reaction to the madness around him.
I saw how hard you were trying not to bust out laughing on several occasions. Then you acted all serious when saying those jokes. This video is gold lmao
As a kid, I didn't get it. To me, it made no sense. I thought, there was no lasagna as it wasn't an option they gave. And then of course years later, I got it: there was no lasagna! Comedy is funny sometimes.
Next time I ever fly commercially, I want to tell the pilots, "I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you." And then see if they get the joke.
Leslie Nielsen was a serious actor, as were most of the actors in the film, and Leslie himself refused to do comedies because he didn't consider himself a comedic actor. In comes the genius of the writers. They wrote a comedic movie in a serious tone. The actors delivered their lines in the same way they would in serious films, and it's the overall context and background props that gave the movie its comedic tone.
Part of the reason they wrote the movie in a serious tone is because they did not write a lot of the dialogue. It is often word for word from another film that was a serious themed aircraft disaster movie. This literally a parody of another film. You can find clips on RUclips that show both side by side.

It's funny that we've all been laughing at that "A little hot" button for decades thinking it was just one more joke but it's actually a real thing. Some of the best jokes are real.
I've been a professional aviator for 40 years and the more I watch Airplane!, the truer it becomes. Especially the line about the FAA and airline management... Must see for any pilot or wannabe...
Such a great movie. I love the part when the flight attendant reinflates auto pilot, the auto pilot has a smile on his face. And then they both have a smoke. :D
The smoking part would be the one thing that Hollywood gets wrong with aviation. Because there's smoke detectors located in the flight-deck and cabin as well as in the cargo bay and after the Swiss-Air 111 crash, there's also a fire detection system in the attic above the cabin and flight deck. And because of how dangerous an in-flight fire can be, those detectors are usually on maximum sensitivity so the flight crew are alerted as quickly as possible should a fire start.
One of my favorite all-time comedies. I saw it like 9 times in the theaters. Everyone in my very large family can quote numerous lines out of this movie. Some of us even memorizd the scenes spoken in "jive." Also my dad worked in Aerospace most of his career and we're all huge aviation enthusiasts. So thank you a million times for doing this! Love your channel!
For years I would say, "Drag it through the garden one time" when asked if I wanted salad or fries. My life would have been complete if just one waiter got the joke and gave me a salad without asking, "huh?", but it never happened. :)
Recently discovered the Kelsey videos and I'm hooked. But this one is really a hoot! I loved the comparisons between what was authentic and Kelsey's tongue-in-cheek humor about what was 'hollywood'. My two favorites were him saying that no pilot would have not finished eating his dessert and that he had applied for an emotional support animal. It was obvious how much fun he had making this video.
Funny, but this reminds me of the Dean Blundell show cuz he used that sound bite all the time back when he was still on the air. I had to do a double take on your name.
4 года назад
It's right there in the video, so how did you manage to butcher that?
The lasagne joke is one of my favourite lines. Glad to see it's one of his too, he tried hard to hold his laugh in there :D That and the "good luck" gag, I remember being in literal tears for a good 5 minutes over that.
It is real, if you peek into a MD-88 cockpit you will see it. (Old prop driven airline still have knobs for throttle/mixture/pitch just like gear shift knob, but MD kept using the knobs for speed brake for modern airliners, even MD-88's speed brake is a level with a knob similar to a gear shift knob.)
@@74gear Not knowing much about flying, except being a passenger and a lot of airplane movies etc., you got me there. I thought it was a joke in the movie until I heard your comment and I thought "that's interesting, never saw that in any other movie".
Saw the movie it's first couple of days in the theater. I had seen NO publicity, it was too new to have any word of mouth. Saw it blind with a friend just because we had nothing else to do that day. A staggering experience being caught 100% by surprise by everything in the movie. To see nothing coming, not even know how absurd it was, where it was going with any of this. I wish everyone could experience that, it can't be the same when you already know what it is before you see it, or have seen every funny line as a meme since forever.
"Airplane!" was a spoof of an older film, "Zero Hour!", nearly word for word in some places. The original wasn't a comedy, so the terminology is more correct than you'd expect from a comedy.
It's a damn shame Mel Brooks couldn't have found a movie to base Spaceballs on. But yeah, I'd almost rather see a pilot analyze Zero Hour (or maybe the SBS)...
I read that they actually bought the rights to the film so that they could legally lift the script verbatim. Nice Inception "I bought the airline" moment for the producers.
@@SomeRUclipsTraveler they didn't buy them, just already owned them since both were Paramount films. The protagonist is literally named the same and the plot is basically identical.
I was considering becoming a pilot, but I'm glad I saw this first.. I can't handle a manual transmission, so I'm out! So many other flight channels make things look so easy.. Thank you Kelsey for giving us the "straight scoop" on what being a pilot is really like! You saved me money and hours! ;-)
I've loved that movie since it came out. I only recently discovered 74 Gear channel and have been really enjoying it. Having watched enough of it now, it was awesome to see Kelsey's expressions on some of these scenes as he comments completely sarcastically deadpan. Loved it.
Hey Kelsey! I'm a nurse in Italy, very tough moment... I really enjoyed this video and your effort to give people something to smile for, thank you so much!
Great video Kelsey! My cousins are the directors of the movie, and I’ve been waiting for years for a pilot to do an analysis. I’ll make sure they watch this!
That’s great I hope I did it justice in their eyes. It’s a classic, I didn’t want to ruin it so I tried to keep my commentary in line with the movie even though a lot of people missed my jokes.
@@74gear 100% you definitely did it justice with your deadpan delivery. Also fun fact: the 747 that crashes into the terminal building in the movie was a scaled down model of just the front half of the plane on the back of a truck.
Your Cousins, The Zucker Bros., are Hollywood Legends. Besides Airplane they made a hysterical comedy called Kentucky Fried Movie which is still one of the greatest classic cult comedys of all time. Fist Full of Yen!
I'm surprised you didn't wait until April 1st to do this, Kelsey, as it would have been perfect to do so. Not that I am complaining, mind you, if it means getting to see you review this classic sooner. Please keep up the great uploads coming, and I'll be sure to keep the blue side up.
THE best review of one of the best movies of all time. I have to rewatch this video almost as often as the movie. One of the best YT videos out there, even this many years on.
Lmao, people that understand nothing about airplanes are probably so confused right now lol And also i love that you completely ignored the fact that the guy at the beginning opened the plane's hood lmao
After this I'm hooked on K! Love how he was deadpan serious at the beginning and subtly opened up a sarcastic can of worms as the video went on. Legendary!
@@jeffcoat1959 Actually the main plot in this movie, is taken from the book "Flight into danger" by John Castle and Arthur Hailey. (Just re-read the book a few weeks ago)
This has got to be one of your best Hollywood vs Reality episodes. How you made all those jokes with a completely straight face is commendable. (Would love to see the bloopers lol). Thank you for such a great episode. I can't stop laughing LOL
In the case of Ryanair, getting to the departure airport in the middle of that field a hundred kilometers away, and then parking your car in the field of some nearby farmer, takes up most of the time.
That was back when gasoline stations were called Service Stations. Check oil, water and tires at every fillup! Now of course popping the radiator cap when the engine is hot is extremely unwise.
I don't know what is funnier, "Airplane!" or this analysis. I am watching this now for the so manyth time in the last two years, and I watched Airplane! because of this twice again :)
Kelsey, absolutely superb sir, I'm grinning ear-to-ear. Love how you've joined in on the humour of this film. "I always wait until the autopilot is fully inflated" had me rolling. Keep up the great work sir
It was the bit about the gear shift and fuel efficiency at the beginning that first clued me in that this was going to be a different kind of review...
YOU made this movie even funnier, incredible but true!!! And how you manage to deliver your jokes with such a straight face is even more funny!!! BRAVO!!!
As a First Officer Kelsey I think you're the greatest, but my dad says you don't work hard enough on defense. And he says that lots of times, you don't even run down court. And that you don't really try... except during the playoffs.
The hell I don't! LISTEN, KID! I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night! Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!
I saw this movie when I was 10 years old, at the time, and now, I still think the auto pilot is one of the funniest things I've seen ever. At the time I did not appreciate the bit with the manual inflator; I do now
I was 8 years old when I saw it in 1981...it was so popular they re-released it where I lived (Maryland) the following year. The lines at some theaters looked nearly as long as the one for Star Wars...I remember Channel 5 in D.C. (WTTG? I forgot) did a puff piece about that...anyway your comment brought back memories...they help me ignore the big 50 18 months away
I loved the subtle jokes you made during this. Like waiting for the auto-pilot to fully inflate and dragging the co-pilot by the feet instead of the under arms.
True shit at that time - I was an 7yr old kid at the time & I saw what I later learned were Jhharrry KrEEshna's at Dulles...or maybe it was BWI...I was lived in MD/D.C. at the time anyway that was factually semi-accurate.
I can attest to having seen Hare Krishna's and other spiritual types trying to proselytize and "give" you their reading material in exchange for a "donation" at airports on more than one occasion back in those days.
He used a lot of sarcastic humor that just didn't present well enough as "clearly BS and clearly just humoring us" throughout the video, if you ask me.
Im consistently losing my shit on every person I forgot was in this movie. Adam Baldwin, Dave Chappelle, John Cusack, Danny Trejo, Steve Buscemi, John Malkovich and David Ramsey. This movie seriously has an all star cast
One of my favorite movies. My dad loved the scene at the Airport when Robert Stack arrives and encounters all the Hare Krishna and other people that he fights through. Thanks for the reaction.
I was going to save this Hollywood vs Reality for later, but with everything going on, I wanted to give you in the 74 Crew something to smile about while you sit at home... I hope you enjoy it!!
Thanks Kelsey really appreciate it, happy flying!

"I picked a bad week to quit sniffing glue."
That man picked a bad week to stop so many things.
That face he do when coming back up, all puff out, i am still laughing! lol
There was a real air incident where the pilot said that.

The tower! The tower! Rapunzel! Rapunzel!
I absolutely lost it at "Emotional support animal." Probably the best laugh I've had in days!
I wonder if it's bad luck to have a Vulture as an emotional support animal??? That vulture figured his meal was coming really soon
That's not an emotional support animal, it's a joke about death lingering above him 😄
The scene where Leslie comes back to wish them luck for a second time is just wonderful.
I've been a professional aviator for 40 years and the more I watch Airplane!, the truer it becomes. Especially the line about the FAA and airline management... Must see for any pilot or wannabe...
Such a great movie. I love the part when the flight attendant reinflates auto pilot, the auto pilot has a smile on his face. And then they both have a smoke. :D
The smoking part would be the one thing that Hollywood gets wrong with aviation. Because there's smoke detectors located in the flight-deck and cabin as well as in the cargo bay and after the Swiss-Air 111 crash, there's also a fire detection system in the attic above the cabin and flight deck. And because of how dangerous an in-flight fire can be, those detectors are usually on maximum sensitivity so the flight crew are alerted as quickly as possible should a fire start.
@@GabbieTheFox smoking was allowed on airplanes until the late 1980's, this movie came out in the 1980
One of my favorite all-time comedies. I saw it like 9 times in the theaters. Everyone in my very large family can quote numerous lines out of this movie. Some of us even memorizd the scenes spoken in "jive." Also my dad worked in Aerospace most of his career and we're all huge aviation enthusiasts. So thank you a million times for doing this! Love your channel!
For years I would say, "Drag it through the garden one time" when asked if I wanted salad or fries. My life would have been complete if just one waiter got the joke and gave me a salad without asking, "huh?", but it never happened. :)
Recently discovered the Kelsey videos and I'm hooked. But this one is really a hoot! I loved the comparisons between what was authentic and Kelsey's tongue-in-cheek humor about what was 'hollywood'. My two favorites were him saying that no pilot would have not finished eating his dessert and that he had applied for an emotional support animal. It was obvious how much fun he had making this video.
Your ‘unrealistic’ half-eaten cake was so funny.
He's not wrong though. 35,000ft. or ground level... I'm still going to devour that cupcake. :P
“Roger, Roger, we have clearance Clarance, what’s our vector Victor?”
Whenever I hear "Roger Roger" these days, I instinctively think of battle droids...
Funny, but this reminds me of the Dean Blundell show cuz he used that sound bite all the time back when he was still on the air. I had to do a double take on your name.
It's right there in the video, so how did you manage to butcher that?
yes but the other guy is talking on the radio XD
What
The lasagne joke is one of my favourite lines. Glad to see it's one of his too, he tried hard to hold his laugh in there :D
That and the "good luck" gag, I remember being in literal tears for a good 5 minutes over that.
"the other thing you will never see if you become a pilot is the captain not fully eat all of his dessert"
makes me laughting so loud and heartfelt :P
16:02
Kelsey: The first officers can be real creepers
Also Kelsey: A first officer
😁
hence the joke, glad you caught it.
Is someone (I’m looking at you, Kelsey) aiming for a call from HR?
@drmeoth captains have 4 stripes
@drmeoth I sort of knew before but watching Kelsey's comparison Of Catch Me If You Can confirmed who has 3 stripes & who has 4 stripes
Striker: “It’s an entirely different kind of flying... altogether!”
Together: “It’s an entirely different kind of flying.”
This is a dad joke now since it has become apparent.
When you mentioned the gear shift I was like "wtf?!" Then I heard all your other jokes and I was cracking up! Great video, captain!
It is real, if you peek into a MD-88 cockpit you will see it.
(Old prop driven airline still have knobs for throttle/mixture/pitch just like gear shift knob, but MD kept using the knobs for speed brake for modern airliners, even MD-88's speed brake is a level with a knob similar to a gear shift knob.)
not everyone got I was joking 😆
I was like huh? But didn't fully realize until later. LOL
@@74gear Not knowing much about flying, except being a passenger and a lot of airplane movies etc., you got me there. I thought it was a joke in the movie until I heard your comment and I thought "that's interesting, never saw that in any other movie".
The shifter on my Cessna is blue
Saw the movie it's first couple of days in the theater. I had seen NO publicity, it was too new to have any word of mouth. Saw it blind with a friend just because we had nothing else to do that day. A staggering experience being caught 100% by surprise by everything in the movie. To see nothing coming, not even know how absurd it was, where it was going with any of this. I wish everyone could experience that, it can't be the same when you already know what it is before you see it, or have seen every funny line as a meme since forever.
Emotional Support Vulture... that’s pure genius!
More like a pre-cursor of their impending doom.
Vultures are much more friendly and even-tempered birds than a hawk or falcon; FAR more suitable for emotional support. Plus, fewer puncture wounds!
I try to register an Emotional Support Vulture every time I fly. The damn airline constantly insist on me referring to her as my wife.
Vultures are carrion, read as carry on.
"Airplane!" was a spoof of an older film, "Zero Hour!", nearly word for word in some places. The original wasn't a comedy, so the terminology is more correct than you'd expect from a comedy.
Yep! There’s a video on RUclips that shows side by side comparisons of scenes between the two.
Which is also why some of the behaviors/policies are outdated even for the 80s, in order to match the storyline/action of the original from the 1950s.
It's a damn shame Mel Brooks couldn't have found a movie to base Spaceballs on.
But yeah, I'd almost rather see a pilot analyze Zero Hour (or maybe the SBS)...
I read that they actually bought the rights to the film so that they could legally lift the script verbatim. Nice Inception "I bought the airline" moment for the producers.
@@SomeRUclipsTraveler they didn't buy them, just already owned them since both were Paramount films. The protagonist is literally named the same and the plot is basically identical.
“Surely you can’t be serious!”
“I am serious, and don’t call me Sherley.”

You see the problem is you deliver your jokes so well I have no idea what’s real and what’s not
Dude, pretty much NONE of it is real.
When the guy was washing the windscreen, you missed the fact that he was checking the OIL with a DIPSTICK under the "Hood".
Jimmy Walker
Isn't that how it's done??? LOL
I know I was expecting him to comment on that sight gag.
I think he gets lots of sight gags either wrong or just ignores them.
Not only that, the pilot is charged for the fuel-up.
@@lt4324 Dynomite!
I like where he said "The pilot not finishing his dessert is VERY inaccurate" LOL
I was considering becoming a pilot, but I'm glad I saw this first.. I can't handle a manual transmission, so I'm out!
So many other flight channels make things look so easy.. Thank you Kelsey for giving us the "straight scoop" on what being a pilot is really like! You saved me money and hours!
;-)
I've loved that movie since it came out. I only recently discovered 74 Gear channel and have been really enjoying it. Having watched enough of it now, it was awesome to see Kelsey's expressions on some of these scenes as he comments completely sarcastically deadpan. Loved it.
Hey Kelsey! I'm a nurse in Italy, very tough moment... I really enjoyed this video and your effort to give people something to smile for, thank you so much!
Thank you for what you are doing over there. Stay safe and healthy.
I hope things get way way better for you
I hope you can stay safe.
Be safe and thank u for ur work effort. The world appreciates it 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
💚
Great video Kelsey! My cousins are the directors of the movie, and I’ve been waiting for years for a pilot to do an analysis. I’ll make sure they watch this!
That’s great I hope I did it justice in their eyes. It’s a classic, I didn’t want to ruin it so I tried to keep my commentary in line with the movie even though a lot of people missed my jokes.
@@74gear 100% you definitely did it justice with your deadpan delivery. Also fun fact: the 747 that crashes into the terminal building in the movie was a scaled down model of just the front half of the plane on the back of a truck.
Your Cousins, The Zucker Bros., are Hollywood Legends.
Besides Airplane they made a hysterical comedy called Kentucky Fried Movie which is still one of the greatest classic cult comedys of all time.
Fist Full of Yen!
Surely you can't be....OH! You're name's Zucker too.
Whoa that's awesome!!! What did they think?
I'm surprised you didn't wait until April 1st to do this, Kelsey, as it would have been perfect to do so.
Not that I am complaining, mind you, if it means getting to see you review this classic sooner.
Please keep up the great uploads coming, and I'll be sure to keep the blue side up.
I wanted to give people something to smile about with everything going on
Beat me to it. . .
@@74gear What a kind hearted gesture. All the best, Kelsey.
@@74gear certainly helped me with may panic attacks xD
THE best review of one of the best movies of all time. I have to rewatch this video almost as often as the movie. One of the best YT videos out there, even this many years on.
Love the mix of fact and dry sense of humor! Hope to be a passenger on one of your flights someday....with my vulture!
I hope to be there to see that LMAO
The gear shifter got me.
The dry, deadpan is great against a backdrop of puns and gags.
emotional support animal*
Lmao, people that understand nothing about airplanes are probably so confused right now lol
And also i love that you completely ignored the fact that the guy at the beginning opened the plane's hood lmao
Well you've gotta check the oil 🤣
You used a double negative in your first sentence. Which confuses me because they wouldn’t be confused.
No carbon in the credit card machine! lol
That "guy" was played by Jimmie "Dynomite!" Walker.
That's was great ! Always gotta check the oil ! And dang, if you didn't gently slam the hood shut hard enough, Dang! gotta do it again.... hilarious !
"They told you it was 9/11, but it was this" I laughed to hard at that.
After this I'm hooked on K! Love how he was deadpan serious at the beginning and subtly opened up a sarcastic can of worms as the video went on. Legendary!
15:05 That "A little hot" joke gets me every time while bursting into laughter.
such literal jokes are my favourite kind of humor
Engine fire
@@williamhuang8309 The engine fire lamp is just below "A little hot"
The tip about the Pilot in Command not finishing his dessert is why I like this channel so much. There is always something to be learned.
Lol can’t believe you did Airplane, this is literally the most unreal airplane movie I’ve watched
well, wanted to give people something to laugh about during this crazy time.
@@74gear please do more of these !
Now do Airport 1975 - one of the movies this one spoofed.
@@jeffcoat1959 Actually the main plot in this movie, is taken from the book "Flight into danger" by John Castle and Arthur Hailey.
(Just re-read the book a few weeks ago)
@@sarhtaq also the movie Zero Hour
This has got to be one of your best Hollywood vs Reality episodes. How you made all those jokes with a completely straight face is commendable. (Would love to see the bloopers lol). Thank you for such a great episode. I can't stop laughing LOL
“Cruising is usually the longest portion of the flight”
Ryanair: No, landing is!
The longest part of any flight is the trip from the runway to the gate.
Robert Aitchison, are you trying to be serious? Because this is meant to be a comedy joke...
Ryanair take the term the landing is the hardest part too seriously
In the case of Ryanair, getting to the departure airport in the middle of that field a hundred kilometers away, and then parking your car in the field of some nearby farmer, takes up most of the time.
Bom Cabedal, I’ve already explained this to another clueless replier, ITS A COMEDY JOKE...
I thought for sure you'd mention the "lifting of the hood" and "checking the oil dipstick" in the first scene.
And the credit card, to pay for the fuel. The mechanic, on the hood, was Jimmy "Dynomite!" Walker, from "Good Times."😊
That was back when gasoline stations were called Service Stations. Check oil, water and tires at every fillup! Now of course popping the radiator cap when the engine is hot is extremely unwise.
Does your air liner have dash mounted figurines too?
I think he decided to go full-on sarcasm mode for most of the video.
David Smith it was well made, that’s why nobody is catching it. LOL
Kelsey, I never realised how dry your humour is. Truly, well done!
had to be for this video through right?
@@74gear If I may ask... what do you mean by "It takes a few seconds for the autopilot to inflate"?
I don't know what is funnier, "Airplane!" or this analysis. I am watching this now for the so manyth time in the last two years, and I watched Airplane! because of this twice again :)
I almost chocked on my lunch when you said you would drag the dead copilot down the aisle to avoid the awkward announcement. Hilarious
Kelsey, absolutely superb sir, I'm grinning ear-to-ear. Love how you've joined in on the humour of this film. "I always wait until the autopilot is fully inflated" had me rolling. Keep up the great work sir
Watch out for the "A Little Hot" lights, they're real important...
It was the bit about the gear shift and fuel efficiency at the beginning that first clued me in that this was going to be a different kind of review...
Me: I can't tell if this guy is serious or not...
Kelsey: Nods wisely
He is serious. And don't call him Chantel.
Honestly it's so nice to watch a piolet talking about flying on RUclips. It'll ease my nerves on future flights.
You have just made the movie 10 times funnier by confirming some of the scenes can actually happen in real life😂😂😂
You know Most of what he says in this is a joke
Like about the pilots not finishing desserts!!
"Study and be ready for upgrade, so you can start getting assaulted, instead of assaulting others." LOL
I was cracking up when he said that lol
A perfect example of hypergamy
"I'm a 747 pilot." Shows footage of a Cessna coming in to land xD
Setting expectation level.
I almost didn't catch that the first time, but it was brilliant.
Should have had a jet engine noise when it was on to balance out the movie's propeller noise on the the jet.
Had a good laugh🤣
Completely agreed, that completely set the tone of thr video
YOU made this movie even funnier, incredible but true!!! And how you manage to deliver your jokes with such a straight face is even more funny!!! BRAVO!!!
I love how you look like you're solving a calculus problem in your head while watching a funny scene
LOL
"Surely he was calculating his landing distance in his head...?"
"He's already calculated it, and don't call him Shirley".
As a First Officer Kelsey I think you're the greatest, but my dad says you don't work hard enough on defense. And he says that lots of times, you don't even run down court. And that you don't really try... except during the playoffs.
The hell I don't! LISTEN, KID! I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night! Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!
The humor was so deadpan, you had me until 16:45 and the "A Little Hot" button.
Exactly! He's very good at these. We need more humour in this world!
"I'm Kelsey, I'm a 747 pilot" proceeds to show a Cessna 172. Nice one! Can't stop laughing
You’d be surprised how many people missed the joke
I saw this movie when I was 10 years old, at the time, and now, I still think the auto pilot is one of the funniest things I've seen ever. At the time I did not appreciate the bit with the manual inflator; I do now
I was 8 years old when I saw it in 1981...it was so popular they re-released it where I lived (Maryland) the following year.
The lines at some theaters looked nearly as long as the one for Star Wars...I remember Channel 5 in D.C. (WTTG? I forgot) did a puff piece about that...anyway your comment brought back memories...they help me ignore the big 50 18 months away
Seeing Kelsey’s concentration face makes me laugh.
glad to hear it Wanda!
He’s paying so much attention to the move. He looks so serious.
Drinking game: every time Kelsey blinks, take a drink. You would be very sober by the end if the video LOL
He had to have edited the video. No way he'd maintain his serious face on during the the autopilot sequences...
Not always, this movie is pretty funny you can see Kelsey smile also. :-)
I loved the subtle jokes you made during this. Like waiting for the auto-pilot to fully inflate and dragging the co-pilot by the feet instead of the under arms.
What joke?
*Never thought about how important that gear shifter is to a efficient flight*
My airline pilot father laughed so hard when he saw this movie - especially the opening scene where Robert Stack fights off the religious nuts.
True shit at that time - I was an 7yr old kid at the time & I saw what I later learned were Jhharrry KrEEshna's
at Dulles...or maybe it was BWI...I was lived in MD/D.C. at the time anyway that was factually semi-accurate.
I can attest to having seen Hare Krishna's and other spiritual types trying to proselytize and "give" you their reading material in exchange for a "donation" at airports on more than one occasion back in those days.
I didn't realize Scientology was even a thing back then, lol
I was hell confused when you mentioned the gear shifter.
Its was rubbish
when i saw that, he was shifting into forth gear, four the forth engine, OK BAD JOKE :-(
He used a lot of sarcastic humor that just didn't present well enough as "clearly BS and clearly just humoring us" throughout the video, if you ask me.
bobby cv64 *fourth
Over and back. I assumed he was putting it in Reverse.
This was one of the best movie reviews ever! I had tears in my eyes watching this! Well Dunn Mr. Over. ;-)
glad you got my humor, you would be surprised how many people missed the jokes.
@@74gear Your delivery is so deadpan that I’m concerned some student pilots will be looking for the “A Little Hot” light and the gear shift lever! 😁
Im consistently losing my shit on every person I forgot was in this movie. Adam Baldwin, Dave Chappelle, John Cusack, Danny Trejo, Steve Buscemi, John Malkovich and David Ramsey. This movie seriously has an all star cast
I've always wanted to see a pilot watch the over-Oveur roger-Roger vector-Victor scene!
Ah, I shall sleep well tonight
That fact that a SATIRICAL movie is even romotely accurate is amazing
Me: "Mom, I want a 747"
Mom: "We have a 747 at home"
747 at home: 0:15
This is 3 years old now, but I love how you played with this classic comedic farse. One of my favorite movies.
One of my favorite movies. My dad loved the scene at the Airport when Robert Stack arrives and encounters all the Hare Krishna and other people that he fights through. Thanks for the reaction.
At last, my prayers have been answered
The most impressive part of this is you keeping a straight face lol
glad you enjoyed the video eagles.
I think he was smiling--Thought I saw a little twitch at one corner of his lips 😄
Cissy2cute Yeah, at the “Manual inflation “.
@@boataxe4605 😂
Keep in mind, this movie is a comedic recreation of "Zero Hour", 1957.
“Hey my names Kelsey. I’m a 747 pilot”
*Shows C172*
OOF
Yaaaa wooop
Just to make us smile for the first time in that video, and not for the last. Damn, need to watch Airplane! now...
Its actually a joke
Tongue in cheek nod to the flak he took from an earlier video when the producer put in an A380 I suspect.
Airplane is top 1 or 2 funniest movies for me. Your commentary only made it better.
