Thanks for the heads-up, guys. I was about to invest some of my precious time & attention to watch this reaction. You really saved me. I'll just move on to some other reactors.

The guy playing the Japanese soldier(who commits hari kari) is James Hong. He is one of Hollywood's longest lasting actors. He even made a movie appearance this year at the age of 95.
NOBODY in 1980 would have called Ted Striker a "stalker". He would have been admired for facing his fears to show the woman how much he loves her. This "stalker" interpretation wouldn't have existed before about 2012.
I agree, Ted's not a stalker. He's a guy trying to talk to the woman who left him just hours before, by leaving a note at the house they shared. Specifcally, stalking wasn't a thing until actress Rebecca Shaeffer was murdered by a fan in 1989. That tragic event kicked off the use of restraining orders. Up until then, police were unable to do anything about a person invading your privacy until they actually did something. Now the potential for harm is enough to get a restraining order. Too bad it took a woman being murdered to get police to take it seriously.
@@billclay9489 Its a rough estimation. I also would say it began around 2012 (yes, also can be 2010) when society slowly got more and more lefty, woke ... snowflakes who are feeling offended by everything. Its the new game in society like ''whoever is the bigger victim, can punish the other ...''
@@jtoland2333Stalking been around for centuries, decades but got bigger in the 80s. But I agree on him a stalker these Millennials and Gen Z shouldn't use words that shouldn't be used.
in 2024, anyone who calls more than once in a day is considered a stalker. But 40-50 years ago, this whole storyline with Ted chasing Elaine was considered a romantic gesture. I can only assume that in the 70s, it was not necessarily the case that 90% of men were violent predators, the way we are now, or so I'm meant to understand.
I seen this movie in the theater when I was 16,neither me or my girlfriend knew who this Ethel Merman was,I looked it up later but they used somebody who was mayb famous in the 50s and expected a audience of mayb average age about mayb 28 to know who this dinosaur was,that was one joke that didn’t work
Ethel Merman ( the woman in the hospital bed, who started singing) was a famous Broadway singer and actor who was known for her bold voice and exaggerated style.
The woman who helped translate the “jive talk” was the Mom from the tv show Leave It To Beaver, from the late 1950’s/early 60’s which focused on the family being sweet, clean, with the perfect stay-at-home Mom living in the suburbs.
Wow, good riddance to the both of you smelly bowel movements. There are ten thousand jokes a minute in this movie, and they leave out THAT one, and you're all triggered like a bunch of thumbsucking snowflakes. man, your families must be beyond stupid, the apples don't fall from the tree. And what cesspool of mediocrity suburb do you losers hail from? Talk about two dickheads: Athens and Arfy, lol. A & A: Asswipe& Asswipe, Inc. 🤣 Hey dickheads: do you want your money back? 😄
15:52 Okay here is one of those jokes you might not get- There was a commercial for "Yuban Coffee" in the 70s and the famous line was "Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home." For this "Jim never... at home" gag throughout the film they actually used the same actress from the television commercial. We got the joke instantly back then.
Yes, a lot of people miss that and it is something that is lost on many people and will forever be lost AJ knew who Kareem was and JJ. If ur really into sports people may recognize or be familiar with him, he also knew “JJ from Good Times”. Classic tv shows and movies are still available for people to know who a lot of those actors are like Leslie Nielsen, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Barbara Billingsley etc but a lot of references will be gone forever
That commercial played on the common theme of the insecure housewife who was threatened by someone else's coffee (or whatever) being better than hers. Thus the consumers flock to the "better" product.
I understand cutting some of the jokes & not getting some Jokes, but being in a mixed relationship/marriage how can you cut out the infamous little girl saying *"I take my coffee black like my men"*
Notice every time they drag someone down the aisle,, someone gets on the PA system to speak and everyone on a plane looks up when a voice comes over the PA
Why would you think that George Zip was anybody's dad, when he died in a raid led by Ted. Ted suffers all of his confidence loss because he blames himself for the death of those 7 pilots.
18:11 Correction: Ted did not "teach" them basketball. He sucks at it. The Mullimbos were just "naturally good at it". This was poking fun at racist stereotypes of the day.
I'm done with this couples reactions. The simple fact they could not let go of Ted being a "stalker" was just too much. And they thought he was obsessive
Some obscure items. I speak Jive lady. The mother on a popular sitcom called 'Leave it to Beaver' & was a proper housewife & mother in white America. The sickness the egg lady had was: 'The Bird Flu' an illness around at the time. The sound of the plane is from a prop plane, not a jet. Makeup lady is the writer's mother. The horse in bed is a reference to 'The Godfather'. Pilot & Co-Pilot are not allowed to eat the same meal. (For this very reason.) The passenger in the cab is a Ca. politician well known for cutting waste of money. Boy's Life was a real magazine, Nun's Life was not. & The airport voices are the real people that do the voices at airports.
*SOME JOKES ARE SO OBVIOUS OR LITERAL YOU MISS THEM* Explaining all of them would be too long, but he can't drink out of cups because *He Has A Drinking Problem*
5:00 Incredibly, Jimmy Walker's previous film appearance was in the atrocious _The Concorde--Airport '79,_ which would have finished off the '70s disaster movie genre even if _Airplane!_ hadn't come along to mock its corpse. (Walker plays a saxophonist who keeps getting high. It's not really a "role" and is completely irrelevant to the plot.) While _Airplane!_ mocks a lot of disaster movie tropes from that era (the nun with a guitar and the girl heading for a transplant are copped straight out of _Airport 1975_ and slapping the hysterical passenger was a regular "joke" in the _Airport_ franchise) the plot, a lot of the dialog and even characters' names are lifted straight out of 1957's _Zero Hour!,_ which helps explain why a guy in his 30s is having WWII flashbacks in 1980.
You are right. This generation thinks everybody is a stalker. The man was trying to keep his lady from leaving, because he loved her.There was no stalking involved.
Yeah..I mean they technically still live together..she has to move out after this trip...it's not like they broke up a week or 2 ago..so this is Ted just trying to save the relationship as its breaking up.
25:25 I disagree, I think the dog and actor are very much playing, they just added growls and snarls to the sound afterwards. 26:27 I'm so glad Selena got that 'all together' joke, many people miss it. There are a number of films from the Zucker btothers, I beliive this is the first and one of the best. Before this Leslie Nielson was known as a serious actor, as were a number of others, after his he went into comedy, doing the 'Naked Gun' trilogy who were police film parodies, he also guest starred in TV show 'Due South as a comedic character.
Actually, ZAZ made Kentucky Fried Movie before this. And that one is even MORE outrageous! Must see Enter the Dragon first, though, or you won't get half of it.
During my wedding reception dance, when the DJ happened to play "staying Alive", without any planning or prior coordination, I tossed my jacket to my wife who was taking a breather on the sideline. Not missing a beat, she took the cue and tossed it right back -- thus recreating the scene from Airplane.
In response to what she said at the very end, pretty literally this movie took everything from a movie called Zero Hour! Zero Hour! The general plot is the same and many lines are identical, word for word. They just figured out how to make that serious movie funny.
The folks asking for money at the airport are supposed to stand in for the “Hare Krishna” who became such a nuisance for travelers that they were banned in many places.
Did you notice the sound of the engines? They sound like propellers, but the plane is a jet. I wanna wish you both good luck. We're all counting on you...
The white suit that Ted wears when he meets Elaine is like John Travolta’s suit in “Saturday Night Fever.” And the disco music and disco ball also refer to that.
“Win one for the Zipper” ( George Zipp) is a joke on the famous line about “win one for the Gipper” from the film about real-life athlete and coach Knute Rockne. In the movie George Gipp is played by Ronald Reagan who was running for president when this film was released. The line “win one for the Gipper” was used constantly in the campaign.
You either missed or didn't show your reaction to a LOT of the jokes. For example, after the girl accepted the coffee she said won't you sit down? After he did he asked her if she wanted cream. She said No thank you I take it Black, like my MEN! There were a lot of other things you skipped past! You also did NOT show the after credit scene! 😉😉👱♀👱♀👗👗👠👠❤❤
I still remember in the 70’s it seemed like every other corner in the city were the Hare Krishna people were handing out pamphlets. They were annoying at times but harmless.🍻
Ted has a "drinking problem" - that is, a problem literally drinking - anything. That's the joke. At 44 years old, this film makes a lot of references that don't land so effectively in 2024. For example, the George Zipp story refers to a plot line from a 1940 movie with a character named George Gipp. Not to mention just some of the other passe references like smoking on planes, Hare Krishnas in airports, coffee commercials, war movies, rear-screen projection and Ethel Merman.
You cut out some great lines! Capt. Oveur- "Give me ham on five, hold the Mayo." Like give me Ham on rye, hold the mayo. And many others. Plus ever exterior shot of the JET in flight has PROPELLER sounds. HA!
Oddly enough, they missed a good bet with this gag - since Captain Oveur was using the _white_ courtesy phone, the line could just as well have been "Get me Hamm on *white,* hold the Mayo!" 😄
I had to go back to the beginning after I saw some joke and references go over ya'lls heads, lol -Zero Hour is the movie this spoofs, ALMOST an EXACT shot by shot of the movie.... th-cam.com/video/FasDZeNAmlk/w-d-xo.html -2:29 Hare Krishnas, a Hindu religious group known for being in airports, asking for donations playing instruments like tambourines, drums and cymbals. That's why he said he gave a donation at the office. th-cam.com/video/91NrgkNkgkk/w-d-xo.html -4:08 Mayo Clinic. One of the top ranked hospitals in the country if not the world. They have shelve behind him full of jars of mayonnaise..... -5:11 While you noticed JJ from Goodtimes, airplanes don't have a hood or an engine up front. Also, they wouldn't be up there wiping the windows or checking the oil like an old time gas station.. -6:15 These two came up with their own lines, they created a Jive language... th-cam.com/video/Kn2aTcRJkE8/w-d-xo.html -7:20 An old play on old movies where the woman would run after the train as it took off... -9:53 A play on the movie "Saturday Night Fever", where John Travota got his notoriety ... th-cam.com/video/LUID0jSh2Ic/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/LnqWQnbvjuQ/w-d-xo.html -11:47 You cut out the most SAVAGE joke in the movie.... -24:04 It's an old trope in old movies of having a cigarette after sex.. -25:00 A religious fight... -26:17 "Surely" and "Shirley"...... -28:20 "GOBACKEN SIDONNA" = Go Gack And Sit Down... In an Italian accent
@AJ & Selena Trivia: - the language the black dudes were using is called "Jive" it was the predecessor to ebonics. it was popular in the 70s and early 80s.. the old lady that was trying to help them when they were sick was Barbara Billingsley, better known as June Cleaver, the mother on the original Leave It To Beaver in the 50s. - The disco scene was a direct rip off of the scene from "Saturday Night Fever" with John Travolta .. complete with the white suit lol. - Kids going to the cockpit was a real thing until 9/11. I went up to the cockpit on my first flight when i was 8. They usually had little artificial wing pins to give you to feel special too. - in the psych ward, that really was the REAL Ethel Merman (broadway singer/actress) that he claimed the other person thought they were. - "Never has a second coffee at home" - tagline for a coffee commercial - "Yuban Coffee" which was popular in the 70s. - The nun with the guitar was a reference to a singing nun who was a real person. - The lady who sang to the sick girl (Jill Whalen - "vicki" on the Love Boat) was Lorna Patterson. - On real airline flights, food poisoning in the cockpit is extremely unlikely. They get different dinner menus than the passengers and neither the captain nor first officer can choose the same dinner. This is to ensure something like what happens in the movie never happens in real life. Someone will always be able to fly the plane. - Croskey is played by the legendary Lloyd Bridges.. father of Jeff and Beau Bridges. - Cramer is played by Robert Stack also known as the host of Unsolved Mysteries. - Yes, religious people would frequent the airports for donations. - Striker keeps missing his mouth because he has a "drinking problem".. get it now? lol - "win one for the Zipper" was a play on words of a comment President Reagan made - "win one for the Gipper".
Fun fact at about 8:15 the engine sound was a C130's prop type. Live under Yeager's flight path and I have heard the squadron's flights over 40 years and nothing sounds the same.
This is a classic and I hope you enjoyed it. You said because of when the film came out that you would miss a lot of references and you did. That's okay y'all still got the just. One thing I would like to point out is the old woman who knew Jive. She is Barbara Billingsly, who was the mother in the hit show Leave it to Beaver. Also, the woman in the hospital that was singing is Ethel Merman, She was a huge Broadway and film star and that was one of her staple songs.
The actor who says "that's just what they'll expect us to do" was the star of THE UNTOUCHABLES, a TV series. It was one of the things his character, Eliot Ness, frequently said.
His name was Howard Jarvis he was a politician dude that’s responsible for Proposition 13 a tax law in California and is the reason why boomers who owned a house at the time (late 70s) is still paying low property taxes
18:21 If you were paying attention earlier, George Zip was one of 7 pilots that Ted blames himself for the deaths of because he was their squadron leader, and he could have chosen to abort the raid. "The decision to proceed is yours..."
The Doctor's "Zipper" story is based on "Gipper" story of real life Notre Dame football player George Gipp........ "Win One for the Gipper" was a movie line by Ronald Reagan, acting as Gipp in movie *_Knute Rockne - All American_* ... *THE REAL GEORGE GIPP DIED AT AGE 25, JUST LAST GAME OF HIS SR. YEAR, from Strep & Pneumonia (no antibiotics invented yet).* .. "Win one for the Gipper" is based on supposed hospital deathbed talk Gipp had with Rockne just before Gipp died. Rockne later used as a motivational coaches speech during the 1928 Notre Dame vs Army football game.
Ya'll are young so it's expected not to get some of the joke references like the old white lady who speaks *"JIVE"* played the straight laced conservative mother on the show *(Leave it to Beaver)*
If you're Breaking Bad fans, notice Jonathan Banks (Mike Ehrmantraut) at the radio... he has a couple of lines, but one of the clearest is probably "about 2 more minutes, chief!" and "he's all over the place! What an asshole!"
17:12 Realize that after the old woman hung herself, Ted telling his story to a Japanese Officer had the audience already predicting that he would commit Seppuku by this point...
Imma be honest, I’m seeing a lot of complaints for dumb shit and others upvoting or whatever it’s called now. But I think yall have great reactions. It don’t matter if u think he’s a stalker or not, it’s an honest reaction. Leave people the hell alone! Love you guys!!
May I suggest watching airplane 2 student bodies? Scary movie one and two You can watch some of the other spoof movies, but these are probably some of the best, at least that I can remember
Fun fact: here, in France, this movie is titled "Is there a pilote in the airplane?" And all the comedic movies with Leslie Nielsen have a title that starts with "Is there...?", and thus are considered part of the same franchise. Those include: Is there a cop to save the queen? Is there a cop to save the president? Is there a cop to save Hollywood? Etc.
the woman with the inner monologue is the exact same actress who said that same line, Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home, from our coffee commercials in those years. so the second inner monologue about Jim never vomits at home would have been ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS to the audience at the time
The song the nun was playing on the guitar with the refrain” Sock it to me…” was one of the main songs from the tv show ‘Laugh In’ (from 1968-73) which featured crazy skits, nonsense humor, silly musical bits and broke a lot of barriers for comedy in tv.😊
One of the funniest things about this movie is that none of the actors in it have ever done comedy before, except for Johnny in the control tower, who ad-libbed all his lines.
11:45: What??? How did you two miss THAT????!!!!! I mean no one, not even the most distracted, disinterested Airplane! reactors miss THAT! Yeah, I am definitely on the wrong channel.
This film parodies so many famous disaster films and war films. The list is amazing: "Towering Inferno ", "Airport", "The Poseiden Adventure, " "From Here to Eternity. In the 70s, there were many "movies of the week" made for broadcast TV, and the themes covered everything from medical dramas to detective thrillers. There are also numerous cultural references from the 60's and 70's. The coffee scene with the husband and wife is a parody of a 1960's Yuban Coffee commercial. It is available to view on TH-cam.
15:55 No, this was a parody of a commercial on TV all the time where a restaurant switched the brand of coffee they used, and "Jim" liked that brand better than the other brand, so the woman switches brands at home. The woman is even the woman from that commercial.
Good reaction you two. Regarding the smoking, yes, you could smoke on airplanes back then, you could also smoke in restaurants and hospitals, it was a crazy time. You're one of the few people that recognized Jimmie Walker, I watched Good Times regularly back in the 70's, so seeing him, although brief, was still great. Some of the jokes are dated though, such as the husband wanting a second cup of coffee, then the wife questions it. That was a 70's Yuban commercial that they borrowed that from. Movie still holds up though and some of the one-liners are still used to this day. Edit: This is one of those movies that you need to watch a few times to get all the jokes, but you got quite a few of them, which is great.
Glad you guys watched this Classic Comedy Airplane Loved it I hope you guys get to watch another Classic comedy but Franchise The Naked Gun Starring Leslie Nielsen who was also on Airplane
There was an actual food poisoning incident onboard 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 so they had ordered steak dinners instead. The incident caused recommendations that crew members and passengers be served different foods.
“Prior to Airplane, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Robert Stack and Leslie Nielsen were all dramatic actors. This was their first comedy. “Airplane! (alternatively titled Flying High!)[5] is a 1980 American parody film written and directed by the brothers David and Jerry Zucker, and Jim Abrahams in their directorial debuts,[6] and produced by Jon Davison. It stars Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty and features Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Lorna Patterson.[6] It is a parody of the disaster film genre, particularly the 1957 Paramount film Zero Hour!, from which it borrows its plot and central characters,[7] also drawing many elements from Airport 1975 and other films in the Airport series. It is known for its use of surreal humor and fast-paced slapstick comedy, including visual and verbal puns, gags, running jokes, and obscure humor.”
Legend says, the automatic pilot is the one who poisoned the food so he could be released and steal the plane with his gf, and that he also deflated himself when he was left alone with the stewardess.
Check out Revenge of the Nerds and Bachelor Party with Tom Hanks both released in (1984). The two black men were talking Jive LOL. The old lady talking to them later. Was Mrs.Cleaver on Leave it to Beaver 1957-63 family comedy show. She was the ultimate upper middle class 50's housewife.
42:07 You may not realize it, but the people sitting at Gate 8 were there to meet people getting off the plane, not people waiting to board the next flight. Before the Patriot Act of 2001, anyone could walk out tho the gate areas at most airports.
Yes, In the 70s and 80s, religious groups, most notably the Hare Krishnas, used to solicit people in airports. This was an annoyance as they could be pretty aggressive. It was an issue at the time and a subject of jokes. When airports began banning solicitation, the Hare Krishnas sued and the case went to the Supreme Court, who sided with the airports.
Thank you for watching, we hope you enjoyed this as much as we did. Let us know what you think!

Not a stereotype if it's true
I've read some of the Harlem Globetrotters were in that scene.
I'm done with this couples reactions. The simple fact they could not let go of Ted being a "stalker" was just too much. And they thought he was obsessive
Just a sign of the times.

I think you’re right, unfortunately.🍻
thanks for telling us
Some obscure items. I speak Jive lady. The mother on a popular sitcom called 'Leave it to Beaver' & was a proper housewife & mother in white America. The sickness the egg lady had was: 'The Bird Flu' an illness around at the time. The sound of the plane is from a prop plane, not a jet. Makeup lady is the writer's mother. The horse in bed is a reference to 'The Godfather'. Pilot & Co-Pilot are not allowed to eat the same meal. (For this very reason.) The passenger in the cab is a Ca. politician well known for cutting waste of money. Boy's Life was a real magazine, Nun's Life was not. & The airport voices are the real people that do the voices at airports.
And the real LAX airport voices were really man and wife.
*SOME JOKES ARE SO OBVIOUS OR LITERAL YOU MISS THEM* Explaining all of them would be too long, but he can't drink out of cups because *He Has A Drinking Problem*
Ohhhhhhh 😮
@@ajandselena I have the same drinking problem. I can't wear white and drink coffee at the same time.
5:00 Incredibly, Jimmy Walker's previous film appearance was in the atrocious _The Concorde--Airport '79,_ which would have finished off the '70s disaster movie genre even if _Airplane!_ hadn't come along to mock its corpse. (Walker plays a saxophonist who keeps getting high. It's not really a "role" and is completely irrelevant to the plot.) While _Airplane!_ mocks a lot of disaster movie tropes from that era (the nun with a guitar and the girl heading for a transplant are copped straight out of _Airport 1975_ and slapping the hysterical passenger was a regular "joke" in the _Airport_ franchise) the plot, a lot of the dialog and even characters' names are lifted straight out of 1957's _Zero Hour!,_ which helps explain why a guy in his 30s is having WWII flashbacks in 1980.
Youre reacting to Airplane ?
I just want to tell you good luck, we're all counting on you.
🤣
He's not a stalker. They were boyfriend and girlfriend.They had broken up before this plane trip
You can be a stalker and an ex.
You need to look up the movie Top Secret. It is very good too. Same type of humor and loads of stuff happening in the background.
You are right. This generation thinks everybody is a stalker. The man was trying to keep his lady from leaving, because he loved her.There was no stalking involved.
Yeah..I mean they technically still live together..she has to move out after this trip...it's not like they broke up a week or 2 ago..so this is Ted just trying to save the relationship as its breaking up.
I've actually heard people say now if you ask someone out more than once you're a stalker
The boyfriend is NOT a Stalker Creep, *Now the Pilot on the other hand is a CREEP when around Children*
Right 😂

I didn't know that.
25:25 I disagree, I think the dog and actor are very much playing, they just added growls and snarls to the sound afterwards.
26:27 I'm so glad Selena got that 'all together' joke, many people miss it.
There are a number of films from the Zucker btothers, I beliive this is the first and one of the best. Before this Leslie Nielson was known as a serious actor, as were a number of others, after his he went into comedy, doing the 'Naked Gun' trilogy who were police film parodies, he also guest starred in TV show 'Due South as a comedic character.
That "vicious" dog was a Golden Retriever - the least vicious dog ever.
Actually, ZAZ made Kentucky Fried Movie before this. And that one is even MORE outrageous! Must see Enter the Dragon first, though, or you won't get half of it.
Dont watch monty python you would never understand.
Might have to check that out
Please don't
Blazing Saddle is a BIG no. The young people today would have never made it during the 70’s and 80’s.
Lilith, you speak the truth.
During my wedding reception dance, when the DJ happened to play "staying Alive", without any planning or prior coordination, I tossed my jacket to my wife who was taking a breather on the sideline. Not missing a beat, she took the cue and tossed it right back -- thus recreating the scene from Airplane.
As goofy as this movie gets, no one laughs on screen.
Wow didn’t even notice that 😂
The jokes are all in the background
except the Mrs.Oveur she breaks her character for a few seconds where she rubs Cpt.Kramers chest.
@@FurbyPurrson I'm sure that was in character as well.
In response to what she said at the very end, pretty literally this movie took everything from a movie called Zero Hour! Zero Hour! The general plot is the same and many lines are identical, word for word. They just figured out how to make that serious movie funny.
It was genius how they did it. It's almost the same movie.
The folks asking for money at the airport are supposed to stand in for the “Hare Krishna” who became such a nuisance for travelers that they were banned in many places.
The wife thinking about her husband's 2nd cup of coffee is a parody of a Yuban Coffee commercial.
Congratulations - you were one of the few people who recognized the Jimmy Walker cameo
Did you notice the sound of the engines? They sound like propellers, but the plane is a jet. I wanna wish you both good luck. We're all counting on you...
The white suit that Ted wears when he meets Elaine is like John Travolta’s suit in “Saturday Night Fever.” And the disco music and disco ball also refer to that.
And it was a Navy dress uniform, while he was in the Air Force.
that really IS ethel merman done many musicals
In Ms. Merman's final screen appearance.
So since this went over your head after sex back in the day.People used to smoke cigarettes after having sex.That's why they put that part in there
It's a common trope.

“Win one for the Zipper” ( George Zipp) is a joke on the famous line about “win one for the Gipper” from the film about real-life athlete and coach Knute Rockne. In the movie George Gipp is played by Ronald Reagan who was running for president when this film was released. The line “win one for the Gipper” was used constantly in the campaign.
13:58 Gladiator movies or "Peplums," usually have men in loin cloths.
You either missed or didn't show your reaction to a LOT of the jokes. For example, after the girl accepted the coffee she said won't you sit down? After he did he asked her if she wanted cream. She said No thank you I take it Black, like my MEN! There were a lot of other things you skipped past! You also did NOT show the after credit scene! 😉😉👱♀👱♀👗👗👠👠❤❤
My aunt and uncle were Baptist "airport missionaries" who did exactly this while passing out leaflets about religion at 2 local airports.
I still remember in the 70’s it seemed like every other corner in the city were the Hare Krishna people were handing out pamphlets. They were annoying at times but harmless.🍻
Ted has a "drinking problem" - that is, a problem literally drinking - anything. That's the joke. At 44 years old, this film makes a lot of references that don't land so effectively in 2024. For example, the George Zipp story refers to a plot line from a 1940 movie with a character named George Gipp. Not to mention just some of the other passe references like smoking on planes, Hare Krishnas in airports, coffee commercials, war movies, rear-screen projection and Ethel Merman.
Yeah, a lot of jokes went right over their heads.
You cut out some great lines! Capt. Oveur- "Give me ham on five, hold the Mayo." Like give me Ham on rye, hold the mayo. And many others. Plus ever exterior shot of the JET in flight has PROPELLER sounds. HA!
Oddly enough, they missed a good bet with this gag - since Captain Oveur was using the _white_ courtesy phone, the line could just as well have been "Get me Hamm on *white,* hold the Mayo!" 😄
I had to go back to the beginning after I saw some joke and references go over ya'lls heads, lol

@AJ & Selena
Trivia:
- the language the black dudes were using is called "Jive" it was the predecessor to ebonics. it was popular in the 70s and early 80s.. the old lady that was trying to help them when they were sick was Barbara Billingsley, better known as June Cleaver, the mother on the original Leave It To Beaver in the 50s.
- The disco scene was a direct rip off of the scene from "Saturday Night Fever" with John Travolta .. complete with the white suit lol.
- Kids going to the cockpit was a real thing until 9/11. I went up to the cockpit on my first flight when i was 8. They usually had little artificial wing pins to give you to feel special too.
- in the psych ward, that really was the REAL Ethel Merman (broadway singer/actress) that he claimed the other person thought they were.
- "Never has a second coffee at home" - tagline for a coffee commercial - "Yuban Coffee" which was popular in the 70s.
- The nun with the guitar was a reference to a singing nun who was a real person.
- The lady who sang to the sick girl (Jill Whalen - "vicki" on the Love Boat) was Lorna Patterson.
- On real airline flights, food poisoning in the cockpit is extremely unlikely. They get different dinner menus than the passengers and neither the captain nor first officer can choose the same dinner. This is to ensure something like what happens in the movie never happens in real life. Someone will always be able to fly the plane.
- Croskey is played by the legendary Lloyd Bridges.. father of Jeff and Beau Bridges.
- Cramer is played by Robert Stack also known as the host of Unsolved Mysteries.
- Yes, religious people would frequent the airports for donations.
- Striker keeps missing his mouth because he has a "drinking problem".. get it now? lol
- "win one for the Zipper" was a play on words of a comment President Reagan made - "win one for the Gipper".
Fun fact at about 8:15 the engine sound was a C130's prop type. Live under Yeager's flight path and I have heard the squadron's flights over 40 years and nothing sounds the same.
The joke is he has a drinking problem
That’s why he keeps dumping the cups on his face
most comedies werent like this when it came out they had a unique style harking back to physical comedy and sight gags .
This is a classic and I hope you enjoyed it. You said because of when the film came out that you would miss a lot of references and you did. That's okay y'all still got the just. One thing I would like to point out is the old woman who knew Jive. She is Barbara Billingsly, who was the mother in the hit show Leave it to Beaver. Also, the woman in the hospital that was singing is Ethel Merman, She was a huge Broadway and film star and that was one of her staple songs.
This couple didn't understand all the jokes.
Didn't understand most of em. It's called no sense of humor.
Nobody gets all the jokes.
The guy who directed the plane through the airport window was, I think, one of the writers.
The actor who says "that's just what they'll expect us to do" was the star of THE UNTOUCHABLES, a TV series. It was one of the things his character, Eliot Ness, frequently said.
you needed to watch the credits *(The guy was still waiting in the cab)*
Oh wow! Definitely missed it
His name was Howard Jarvis he was a politician dude that’s responsible for Proposition 13 a tax law in California and is the reason why boomers who owned a house at the time (late 70s) is still paying low property taxes
Probably the first ever post credit scene?
All TH-cam reactors miss it
@@keithalanbaker535 no a few have
18:21 If you were paying attention earlier, George Zip was one of 7 pilots that Ted blames himself for the deaths of because he was their squadron leader, and he could have chosen to abort the raid. "The decision to proceed is yours..."
The Doctor's "Zipper" story is based on "Gipper" story of real life Notre Dame football player George Gipp........ "Win One for the Gipper" was a movie line by Ronald Reagan, acting as Gipp in movie *_Knute Rockne - All American_* ... *THE REAL GEORGE GIPP DIED AT AGE 25, JUST LAST GAME OF HIS SR. YEAR, from Strep & Pneumonia (no antibiotics invented yet).* .. "Win one for the Gipper" is based on supposed hospital deathbed talk Gipp had with Rockne just before Gipp died. Rockne later used as a motivational coaches speech during the 1928 Notre Dame vs Army football game.
Zipp was notable because news of his death caused the spit take.
You ever seen a grown man naked ?
What was on the shelves at the Mayo Clinic?
🤷🏾♂️
Mayonnaise of course. Lol
I just want to tell you both, good luck. We’re all counting on you.

13:23 My favorite part of the movie. Bob Lanier and Bill Walton.
I cant believe you missed out some of the most classic lines, like the two young kids with the coffee. 😊
Do "GOOD BOYS" ... Now that movie is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
One of THE best comedy's ever !!!
It's not "he can't drink out of a cup".
He has a drinking problem.
Ya'll are young so it's expected not to get some of the joke references like the old white lady who speaks *"JIVE"* played the straight laced conservative mother on the show *(Leave it to Beaver)*
That part was my favorite 😂
She really enjoyed learning jive from the guys.
If you're Breaking Bad fans, notice Jonathan Banks (Mike Ehrmantraut) at the radio... he has a couple of lines, but one of the clearest is probably "about 2 more minutes, chief!" and "he's all over the place! What an asshole!"
17:12 Realize that after the old woman hung herself, Ted telling his story to a Japanese Officer had the audience already predicting that he would commit Seppuku by this point...
Imma be honest, I’m seeing a lot of complaints for dumb shit and others upvoting or whatever it’s called now. But I think yall have great reactions. It don’t matter if u think he’s a stalker or not, it’s an honest reaction. Leave people the hell alone! Love you guys!!
To be fair they said early on they wouldn't get some of the jokes. I didn't think they'd miss that many. I hope they watch other movies in this genre
Yep, a Boeing 747 and don't call me Surely.
This film succeeds by having the character play it straight and placing the jokes in the background.
Uh, that actually WAS Ethel Merman in the hosp. And Ted had a "drinking problem.
I'm being serious, and stop calling me Shirley
May I suggest watching airplane 2 student bodies? Scary movie one and two You can watch some of the other spoof movies, but these are probably some of the best, at least that I can remember
Kentucky Fried Movie is another movie by the Zucker Brothers.
Catholic high-school girls in trouble. My fav.
@@markhomer2524 Lost Drunken Men...
You guys cut out the best line in the whole movie when the little girl explains how she takes her coffee. Always enjoy your reactions.👍
Ya the woman and man talking about coffee. Actually did a tv commercial back in the 70's together. It was a parody of this really stupid commerical.
Fun fact: here, in France, this movie is titled "Is there a pilote in the airplane?"
And all the comedic movies with Leslie Nielsen have a title that starts with "Is there...?", and thus are considered part of the same franchise.
Those include:
Is there a cop to save the queen?
Is there a cop to save the president?
Is there a cop to save Hollywood?
Etc.
the woman with the inner monologue is the exact same actress who said that same line, Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home, from our coffee commercials in those years. so the second inner monologue about Jim never vomits at home would have been ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS to the audience at the time
The song the nun was playing on the guitar with the refrain” Sock it to me…” was one of the main songs from the tv show ‘Laugh In’ (from 1968-73) which featured crazy skits, nonsense humor, silly musical bits and broke a lot of barriers for comedy in tv.😊
The song she was singing was R.E.S.P.E.C.T. by Aretha Franklin. Laugh-In was famous for "sock it to me" that line delivered by comedienne Judy Carne.
@@bearballin Right! I guess I was responding to her end line of “sock it to me” because people often don’t know why that was said.
Don't forget those few magical seconds when President Richard Nixon said "Sock it to ME?"
@@bearballinsock it to me was said by everyone in Laugh in.
One of the funniest things about this movie is that none of the actors in it have ever done comedy before, except for Johnny in the control tower, who ad-libbed all his lines.
Airplane is just plain silly. Another totally silly movie is 'What's Up Doc' with Barbra Streisand. Worth watching.
11:45: What??? How did you two miss THAT????!!!!! I mean no one, not even the most distracted, disinterested Airplane! reactors miss THAT!
Yeah, I am definitely on the wrong channel.
This film parodies so many famous disaster films and war films. The list is amazing:
"Towering Inferno ", "Airport", "The Poseiden Adventure, " "From Here to Eternity. In the 70s, there were many "movies of the week" made for broadcast TV, and the themes covered everything from medical dramas to detective thrillers. There are also numerous cultural references from the 60's and 70's. The coffee scene with the husband and wife is a parody of a 1960's Yuban Coffee commercial. It is available to view on TH-cam.
"YOU GUYS LISTENED" Glad you enjoyed this movie, Its such a classic to many laughs and gags to count
Yes! We enjoyed this for sure
15:55 No, this was a parody of a commercial on TV all the time where a restaurant switched the brand of coffee they used, and "Jim" liked that brand better than the other brand, so the woman switches brands at home.
The woman is even the woman from that commercial.
Good reaction you two. Regarding the smoking, yes, you could smoke on airplanes back then, you could also smoke in restaurants and hospitals, it was a crazy time. You're one of the few people that recognized Jimmie Walker, I watched Good Times regularly back in the 70's, so seeing him, although brief, was still great.
Some of the jokes are dated though, such as the husband wanting a second cup of coffee, then the wife questions it. That was a 70's Yuban commercial that they borrowed that from. Movie still holds up though and some of the one-liners are still used to this day. Edit: This is one of those movies that you need to watch a few times to get all the jokes, but you got quite a few of them, which is great.
And the first one to recognize Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
@@donaldstewart8342 There are quite a few that have recognized Jabbar.
Glad you guys watched this Classic Comedy Airplane Loved it I hope you guys get to watch another Classic comedy but Franchise The Naked Gun Starring Leslie Nielsen who was also on Airplane
it was the FIRST parody movie of its type... i get all the references... I lived those years lol
Well you had Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein
When the one guy was doing the laundry, the other guy was announcing the horses at a race track
Lovely! Check out the film Top Secret too, which is as mad as Airplane and by the same people!
There was an actual food poisoning incident onboard 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 so they had ordered steak dinners instead. The incident caused recommendations that crew members and passengers be served different foods.
“Prior to Airplane, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Robert Stack and Leslie Nielsen were all dramatic actors. This was their first comedy.
“Airplane! (alternatively titled Flying High!)[5] is a 1980 American parody film written and directed by the brothers David and Jerry Zucker, and Jim Abrahams in their directorial debuts,[6] and produced by Jon Davison. It stars Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty and features Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Lorna Patterson.[6] It is a parody of the disaster film genre, particularly the 1957 Paramount film Zero Hour!, from which it borrows its plot and central characters,[7] also drawing many elements from Airport 1975 and other films in the Airport series. It is known for its use of surreal humor and fast-paced slapstick comedy, including visual and verbal puns, gags, running jokes, and obscure humor.”
Legend says, the automatic pilot is the one who poisoned the food so he could be released and steal the plane with his gf, and that he also deflated himself when he was left alone with the stewardess.
Please react to
🔥 *Police Academy* (1984)
another Classic!
I hope they understand that movie as it’s another spoof movie.
Check out Revenge of the Nerds and Bachelor Party with Tom Hanks both released in (1984). The two black men were talking Jive LOL. The old lady talking to them later. Was Mrs.Cleaver on Leave it to Beaver 1957-63 family comedy show. She was the ultimate upper middle class 50's housewife.
42:07 You may not realize it, but the people sitting at Gate 8 were there to meet people getting off the plane, not people waiting to board the next flight.
Before the Patriot Act of 2001, anyone could walk out tho the gate areas at most airports.
AIRPLANE 2 is also very funny!
Yes, In the 70s and 80s, religious groups, most notably the Hare Krishnas, used to solicit people in airports. This was an annoyance as they could be pretty aggressive. It was an issue at the time and a subject of jokes. When airports began banning solicitation, the Hare Krishnas sued and the case went to the Supreme Court, who sided with the airports.
The announcers at the Airport were a couple that did the real announcements at LAX, the movie makers got them to do the announcements for the movie.
