As a generation Xer, we were blessed with gems like airplane, imo no other generation was blessed with better music, movies or sports icons than the 1980’s
@@spidervenom14yeah I'm 49, seen this movie several times never really got that joke, but I just recently saw two people discussing what happened in Midnight express, (violated)👹💩👹💩 yikes!
Saw this movie in the theater when it first came out. This scene was actually hilarious because of the way Joey brushes off all of Clarence's questions. Also, Kareem not hustling in games until the playoffs was something every basketball fan said. This was Kareem's chance to finally put all such doubts to rest.
Recently, I've seen ads with him popping up here on TH-cam. He always introduces himself with "Hi, I'm Kareem Abdul-Jabbar." and I think to myself, no, your name is Roger Murdock, you're a pilot.
Some... but some is also just not knowing how serious an actor Peter Graves was prior to this role. The absurdity of "Mr. Phelps" or the "Stalag 17" character saying things like this was a large part of the joke.
@@macmcleod1188 Several of the actors were known for serious roles; including Leslie Nielsen and Lloyd Bridges. As you said, these comedic lines coming from them was part of the joke. It wouldn't have been as funny coming from an established comedian. Unfortunately, it also ruined the dramatic careers of those actors. They could never be taken seriously again; Even when watching their earlier roles.
@@thomasalbrecht5914 But the non-American who runs this channel is the one who censored the word...not the reaction channels he took his clips from. It's him...not TH-cam.
😂I was in Turkey in 1992 with the NATO... we went to The Compound😂women were sitting around like a dam department store waiting to get pick, we were told their husband's sent them there to pay off debts they owed, I couldn't spend money on them, they were forced they, if they were selling on their own free will I probably would of bought one😂
Back when this came out, this scene was hilarious because we all grew up watching Peter Graves as such a serious actor (same with Leslie N., Robert Stack, and Barbara B.- Mrs. Cleaver). Very different times from these reactions.
I used to grow up watching mission impossible, the untouchables, Lloyd Bridges, and other actors during the sixties and seventies, never crossed my mind that theses guys had such good comic timing
Oh my god these reactors are so woke they’re asleep the whole movie is dry humor they’ve been so conditioned they don’t even get like captain over is really going to molest the kid god I feel sorry for young people today you don’t kn ow what you’ve had taken away from you
The fellas made the language up in high school and revived it for the movie. They then taught Barbara Billingsly (Beaver's mom)the lingo for her lines. Such controversy for a clean-cut, affluent, white, suburbanite mother.
You are right. Look at how offended, clueless or embarrassed they are when the captain asks Joey questions. I saw this movie at the theater when it first came out and the entire theater burst out in laughter at that scene. Today because of political correctness younger generations are either embarrassed or offended by the Captain Over and Joey scene.
Not only that, but what many forget when viewing international reactors (because they themselves are American) is that a lot of those jokes are quite US-centric. Like the "two cups of coffee" reference. Who outside the US knows or cares about an American coffee ad from all those years ago? Even in the 80s, that probably would not have had much traction outside the USA unless viewers had themselves been over there recently and seen it on American TV. Inevitably, there is a strong US bias in most movies because of Hollywood being the centre of international film-making, so understandably, many cultural references pass over the heads of viewers from elsewhere. British cinema has suffered from a similar problem, where most people outside the UK seem to think everything about the UK is Big Ben, red phone boxes, black taxis, the Queen (until 2022), or as represented by the likes of Four Weddings and a Funeral, Trainspotting or Harry Bloody Potter! More specific UK references like certain popular celebrities or TV ads many wouldn't get. 😅
"Jim Never Throws up at Home." The extra funny bit was that it was the actual actress we had been seeing in the commercials for at least the prior 5 years who was always insecure about her husband's coffee use while visiting others.
To answer that one couple who stated that the 80s had no boundaries regarding the conversation between Joey and the Pilot, you are wrong there were boundaries in the 80s what there weren't though was what we have today -- The Sensitivity Police who love to blow everything out of proportion and observing some of these peoples reactions it is why movies like this can never be made anymore
I LOVE this movie because of THIS SCENE. Everyone is expecting the kid to be annoying and touch everything basically being a stereotypical brat. This scene flips the table on those expectations and makes this absolutely hilarious scene one after the other. IT IS HILARIOUS!
Watching reactions to "Airplane!", it always astounds me that these younger folks don't recognize Kareem Abdul-Jabbar immediately. Isn't he one of the most iconic and recognizable basketball players ever? On the other hand, I guess I wouldn't be able to recognize Walt Frazier...
It just goes to show how ridiculously sensitive we've become. Now we're bleeping out legitimate words because they might be associated with something inappropriate. It's to the point now you can barely have a mature discussion on the internet that isn't just a series of bleeps and made up words.
Back when this movie came out, everybody recognized Kareem instantly.😁 And, no, they weren't wimps about comedy, back then -- no limits, no boundaries. 😆
Kareem has said in interviews that during the first take of his scene with “Joey”, that no one knew how much the kid weighed. So when he went to grab the kid’s shirt and pull him closer, he actually was so light that Kareem pulled him all the way off his feet and into his lap.
Times were different back then in early 80's when Captain Clarence Oveur played then iconic actor, Peter Graves whose sense of humor dry like another iconic actor, Lesile Nielsen. Back then, no one were oversensitive like today. Back then, Graves' like "seeing a grown man naked" was for shock value. Some were caught off guard, but they shrugged it off! This movie was like another iconic movie mocking oversensitive. Movie is Blazing Saddles. Peter had an older brother like him named James Arness, actor was well-known for TV Western Series called Gunsmoke that ran from 1955 to 1975 with over 600 episodes.
WTF are you talking about? The whole point of the scene is that the Captain is saying completely inappropriate things. It's funny but don't bring up political nonsense about people being too sensitive today.
"want me to check the weather, Clarence?" "Naah, why don't you do that?" One of those jokes that manages to sneak by while everybody is still processing Clarence's questions to Joey.
This is hilarious. These folks today would have never made it out of the 80s without PTSD, with their stunted & uptight morals. In 1980, I never dreamed we would regress in this way and censor ourselves so easily. The jokes in this movie are a time capsule of our behavior in that era.
That's because you literally need a "Sarcasm" or "Satire" sign for generations after Gen X. Also why the avg IQ has dropped 8 points since 1980. You can see that in 80% of them. lol
What I notice about most of the reactors is they don't understand that Clarence is supposed to be a pedophile. They just think the questions are strange and arbitrary. The other scene that a large number don't understand is when they show the vulture. Often they say "what is that bird? Why is it there?" they don't even know what a vulture is despite how distinctive they are, or that they're popularly known or referenced in media for hanging around creatures that are about to die. Also a surprisingly large number of reactors don't understand early on in the movie about the soldier and his girlfriend, that they're acting like he's on a train, despite all of the visuals and sounds telling you that, not to mention a damned train conductor yelling "all aboard!". It is weird to me how much stuff people don't get.
I fucking love the vulture gag. It’s so bizarrely subtle and un-subtle at the same time. One minute it’s there perched on his seat, the next it’s gone. The idea that the bird is just waiting for them all to crash and burn so he can pick them clean is just so unreasonably funny. Plus how the guy on the radio is telling them they’ll be completely fine just as the image of death is hovering over their shoulders.
There are so many period jokes that will go right over their heads. As an aside, I have never seen anyone reacting to the amazing gag of Robert Stack seeming to walk out of the mirror.
@firsttimewatching7861 I'm over 45. It is ridiculous how true humor has to be wiped out, just to appease a few offended few. This movie is one of the main staples I showed my children for 25 years since I've been having kids. Dark humor, but hilarious. It's only a movie, that's what these kids nowadays don't get.
Jesus, these reactors need to lighten the F up. The 'have you ever seen a grown man naked' line is hysterical. But the Gen Z, judgemental chip activates in their brains and they just don't get it.
Peter Graves was hesitant to do the Grown man Naked Scene him Leslie Nielsen Lloyd Bridges and Robert Stack this was there first Comedies ever done lol
I find it sad that current audiences don't get the full series of jokes from Clarence, all about homosexuality. They aren't random. "Seen a grown man naked" is obvious, but "hang out at a gymnasium" "movies about gladiators" were discussed frequently at the time as homo-erotic. And the "Turkish prison" was a reference to another movie, the first Hollywood depiction of prison rape.
yeah the hang out of the gymnasium is a take on the ymca a known hang out location for does seeking gay men to hang out. Their even a song about it by the village people.
Breaks my heart how because of new generation comedies and jokes like these are no more..we knew and took it as jokes back then and appreciated the creativity of the jokes but sadly no more..
A thousand years ago, it was ok to kill somebody in sporting events. 50 years ago, it was ok to wear blackface. 20 years ago, it was ok to make fun of the lgbt community. And so on....
A lot of the humor flies over their heads because they didn’t grow up seeing Peter Graves, Robert Stack and Leslie Nielsen playing only straight roles for three decades.
None of these young folks can possibly get the joke with Peter Graves because they didn't watch him for 8 seasons as the completely serious 'Mr. Phelps' in "Mission Impossible". Or his amazing turn in "Stalag 17" What surprised me was Peter Graves is James Arness' brother. Plus, I think as reactors, they feel the pressure and judgement of their audiences.
This one was great! Love this film when it came out. Yes, some of the humor would not fly today, but to me...that is too bad. I enjoyed all the humor in this movie. Thank you!
I'm old enough to remember when you could not only smoke on an airplane, but you also got a good meal, and all the stewardess's looked like fashion models.
It took all of Peter Graves' acting ability to deliver those perv lines. He was genuinely sick to his stomach, but after the end of the _Mission Impossible_ television series , he was desperate for a job.
When I started listening to Jack Benny radio shows, they went completely over my head. Same thing for George and Gracie Allen. It took a dozen episodes to even start getting most the jokes and there are still jokes I get years later because I finally learned about the social setting and context only recently on some other old show. I just saw Jack Nicholson last night on a show called, "Mr. Lucky". You can't even google to get a listing for him acting in that role. He appeared to be 19 or 20 years old tops. It was crazy. A good portion of the time I spend with my grandkids is learning *their* jargon so I can understand what they are saying.
This scene is wrong but hilarious, it is of it's time (80s), it is hilarious because it is wrong, that's how we rolled at the time, yes the Kareem joke hasn't aged well because of the passage of time since he was famous. Don't forget the film also contains scenes of a woman in bed with a horse, a line of people waiting to beat up a hysterical woman, a young girl mentioning to preferring black men, any many other absurd jokes and that what made it stupid but funny. Nowadays everyone is offended by insignificant crap.
It still aged well because of people who like sports; they know who Kareem is, and it was always funny to them even if they weren't born when Airplane came out. It's like old Warner Brothers cartoons that often made jokes about topical issues or celebrities of the time and then one day you discover who that caricature was, or what they were referring to and it's hilarious. The joke was always funny, it's just that it went over the head of you as an audience that it wasn't intended for. And that's the case with any joke.
That was one of the funniest scenes when I saw this back in the 80s - too many reactors worried about their reaction - its not a documentary guys its a comedy, you can laugh at the absurdity. lol
I miss people who can think for themselves I watched this because I liked this movie back then and today but watching these skinless reactors just made me sad if things keep going the way they are just imagine how bad it’ll be in 30 or 40 yrs just keep it up sheep and you all be lead where you never dreamed
There was this one reaction by this German girl where when he says "you ever seen a grown man naked" she just zooms in to her face and her eyes go wide and she doesn't say anything. It was really funny but I think it got taken down.
I saw this in a packed theatre the week it came out. The big Difference between the Reaction to that Line then and these Reactors .... We understood it was a Comedy and Busted out Laughing! No raised Eyebrows or Gasps of "What" .... It's Comedy! Laugh!
I had Mission: Impossible for the NES growing up. It was a tough, but fun little top-down stealth-em-up during Konami's bigger days (it was an Ultra imprint but that was Konami's loophole around Nintendo's rules). But every time Peter Graves' photo comes up in the intro, i cant help but think "Joey, do you like video games about gladiators? Have you ever been to a... turkish gamestop? You ever... hang around an arcade?"
You’ve got it all wrong: humor changes. Considering what’s happened in the last 3 years, are you really surprised that a joke where a man asks a boy if he’s ever seen a man naked doesn’t play well anymore? They’re also reactors, it’s their job to exaggerate how they feel for views.
Naw, I think they simply picked the clips of people with this reaction. There are certainly young people out there today who would totally get the humor of Airplane.
This is hilarious. There was not the tone policing and sensitivity policing of today. People got the cringe and when things were deliberately "off" and were laughing at the inappropriateness of it. They weren't projecting some trauma to feel bad and then project as a trigger to denounce the cast for feeling this triggered state they self-created. Instead we could laugh and think simply "Oh no Clarence is being weird and may be interested in children and no one but Clarence seems to know.. Run Joey run, get out of that cockpit. Hahaha" because at the end of the day, we do not imagine anything outside of that. "What if Clarence was there alone with Joe" or " What if I was Joey" or "what if they were all like Clarence" or "what if something physical happened" or "doesn't this endorse that inappropriate behaviour".... Because that is virtue signaling and morality policing and it neither exalts the person nannying nor diminishes the movie. It is a shame that this happens nowadays.
Yeah this was definitely a different time to where we can laugh about anything and everything. Makes me glad to see most people laugh. Its all comical. I grew up in the 80s where everything was comical. And still to this day, any sort of comedy is comical. Wish people would just take a chill pill and laugh.

This movie is one of the main staples I showed my children for 25 years since I've been having kids. Dark humor, but hilarious. It's only a movie, that's what these kids nowadays don't get.
What's sad is that most of these reactors didn't know it was really him or even who Kareem is.
Not the sharpest knives in the drawer
i like the way the JET PLANE has the sound of a propeller driven plane. lol
Jesus, these reactors need to lighten the F up. The 'have you ever seen a grown man naked' line is hysterical. But the Gen Z, judgemental chip activates in their brains and they just don't get it.
See Jane almost had a conniption. Where is theirv sense of humor
Looks like Americans are the only people who love this kind of humor.
This is why I miss the 70's
Peter Graves was hesitant to do the Grown man Naked Scene him Leslie Nielsen Lloyd Bridges and Robert Stack this was there first Comedies ever done lol
That was the real Ethel mermain
Some people take things way too seriuosly. Its just a movie. Its funny because Peter Graves always played a cop or some other father figure.
The Mission Impossible TV series!!!
Rather scary when a word like "naked" has to be censored.
All the virtue signaling. Sad sign of our times. ITS A MOVIE PEOPLE. It didn’t really happen.
I find it sad that current audiences don't get the full series of jokes from Clarence, all about homosexuality. They aren't random. "Seen a grown man naked" is obvious, but "hang out at a gymnasium" "movies about gladiators" were discussed frequently at the time as homo-erotic. And the "Turkish prison" was a reference to another movie, the first Hollywood depiction of prison rape.
yeah the hang out of the gymnasium is a take on the ymca a known hang out location for does seeking gay men to hang out. Their even a song about it by the village people.
Roger Murdoch role was originally written for Baseball player Pete Rose ! But movie made during baseball season 😊 😊
Kareem, so much better than Pete Rose with this character!!! I had no idea they wanted Pete.
Breaks my heart how because of new generation comedies and jokes like these are no more..we knew and took it as jokes back then and appreciated the creativity of the jokes but sadly no more..
A thousand years ago, it was ok to kill somebody in sporting events. 50 years ago, it was ok to wear blackface. 20 years ago, it was ok to make fun of the lgbt community. And so on....
These reactors are clues to this type of comedy and one of the greatest NBA players ever.
Some of these people take it seriously, and it's bizarre
Right!?! It's only a movie. Isn't this the time to laugh? Or, just continue to be offended. 🙄
A lot of the humor flies over their heads because they didn’t grow up seeing Peter Graves, Robert Stack and Leslie Nielsen playing only straight roles for three decades.
None of these young folks can possibly get the joke with Peter Graves because they didn't watch him for 8 seasons as the completely serious 'Mr. Phelps' in "Mission Impossible".
Or his amazing turn in "Stalag 17"
What surprised me was Peter Graves is James Arness' brother.
Plus, I think as reactors, they feel the pressure and judgement of their audiences.
This one was great! Love this film when it came out. Yes, some of the humor would not fly today, but to me...that is too bad. I enjoyed all the humor in this movie. Thank you!
The humor STILL flys with us who saw it newly released!!! Hilarious then, hilarious now!!! 🌟💕😉
Funny thing they censor a movie from 1980
Not.all.of these people know the significance of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at the time of this film or recognize the younger appearance.
I think it’s understandable…even if a bit disappointing
I love that Kareem gives a shoutout to Bill Walton, who we loved to "hate"😂
Who’s old enough to remember when passengers were allowed in the cockpit? 😊
I'm old enough to remember when you could not only smoke on an airplane, but you also got a good meal, and all the stewardess's looked like fashion models.
Since when do we need to censor the word "naked" ??
You're not old enough to hear that word, young man! 😤
Kareem’s bit is hilarious
For anyone who thinks "meta" humor and breaking the fourth wall was something new.
This was the first movie that took serious actors on and gave them fantastically ridiculous lines... and they sold them wonderfully!
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has also acted as a substitute teacher in "Different Strokes" and as the monster shouter in 1990 Stephen King's "The Stand".
It took all of Peter Graves' acting ability to deliver those perv lines. He was genuinely sick to his stomach, but after the end of the _Mission Impossible_ television series , he was desperate for a job.
Young people don’t get humor
They've probably seen too many grown men naked 😐
@@mattlatakas7051and in too many gymnasiums
@@orangeandblackattackThey certainly dont like movies about gladiators either.
When I started listening to Jack Benny radio shows, they went completely over my head. Same thing for George and Gracie Allen. It took a dozen episodes to even start getting most the jokes and there are still jokes I get years later because I finally learned about the social setting and context only recently on some other old show.
I just saw Jack Nicholson last night on a show called, "Mr. Lucky". You can't even google to get a listing for him acting in that role. He appeared to be 19 or 20 years old tops. It was crazy.
A good portion of the time I spend with my grandkids is learning *their* jargon so I can understand what they are saying.
This scene is wrong but hilarious, it is of it's time (80s), it is hilarious because it is wrong, that's how we rolled at the time, yes the Kareem joke hasn't aged well because of the passage of time since he was famous. Don't forget the film also contains scenes of a woman in bed with a horse, a line of people waiting to beat up a hysterical woman, a young girl mentioning to preferring black men, any many other absurd jokes and that what made it stupid but funny. Nowadays everyone is offended by insignificant crap.
It still aged well because of people who like sports; they know who Kareem is, and it was always funny to them even if they weren't born when Airplane came out. It's like old Warner Brothers cartoons that often made jokes about topical issues or celebrities of the time and then one day you discover who that caricature was, or what they were referring to and it's hilarious. The joke was always funny, it's just that it went over the head of you as an audience that it wasn't intended for. And that's the case with any joke.
That was one of the funniest scenes when I saw this back in the 80s - too many reactors worried about their reaction - its not a documentary guys its a comedy, you can laugh at the absurdity. lol
The fact that they are blanking out the word naked, is crazy.
😂😂😂😂😂
This is a perfect example of generational humor.
I miss 80s humor
I miss people who can think for themselves I watched this because I liked this movie back then and today but watching these skinless reactors just made me sad if things keep going the way they are just imagine how bad it’ll be in 30 or 40 yrs just keep it up sheep and you all be lead where you never dreamed
Oh how I miss this brand of humor. Movie studios today wouldn’t even think about making movies like Blazing Saddles or Airplane.
That kid looks genuinely terrified! Lol!
There was this one reaction by this German girl where when he says "you ever seen a grown man naked" she just zooms in to her face and her eyes go wide and she doesn't say anything. It was really funny but I think it got taken down.
I saw this in a packed theatre the week it came out. The big Difference between the Reaction to that Line then and these Reactors .... We understood it was a Comedy and Busted out Laughing! No raised Eyebrows or Gasps of "What" .... It's Comedy! Laugh!
I had Mission: Impossible for the NES growing up. It was a tough, but fun little top-down stealth-em-up during Konami's bigger days (it was an Ultra imprint but that was Konami's loophole around Nintendo's rules). But every time Peter Graves' photo comes up in the intro, i cant help but think "Joey, do you like video games about gladiators? Have you ever been to a... turkish gamestop? You ever... hang around an arcade?"
My 18 y/o has a shirt that says “”Joey, have you ever been to a Turkish prison?” My kids were raised right!!
OMG I'm dying. Has comedy been declared dead??? These people are unbelievable. There is NO sense of humor any more in this world. So sad so sad
You’ve got it all wrong: humor changes.
Considering what’s happened in the last 3 years, are you really surprised that a joke where a man asks a boy if he’s ever seen a man naked doesn’t play well anymore?
They’re also reactors, it’s their job to exaggerate how they feel for views.
Naw, I think they simply picked the clips of people with this reaction. There are certainly young people out there today who would totally get the humor of Airplane.
@@Yodoggy9 I have nothing wrong. You have it wrong. Humor is dead. Long live non comedy. Yikes!
NAKED NAKED NAKED NAKED NAKED NAKED NAKED
Thanks for including all my favorite reactors
Funny how serious some of the reactions are. People it is a movie !!! A very very funny one.
Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
Title suggests this is about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as Roger Murdoch, but it is a chance to sneak in some of Captain Oveur's lines in.
I think this is where
Family Guy came up with Herbert character. Always inappropriate in that special way we knew what jokes were back in the day.
My favorite part of Airplane is the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar scene when he tells the kid about Bill Walton and Bob Lanier.
I saw this movie in LA when it came out. Kareem got HUGE laughs. Actually the whole movie did.
This is hilarious. There was not the tone policing and sensitivity policing of today. People got the cringe and when things were deliberately "off" and were laughing at the inappropriateness of it. They weren't projecting some trauma to feel bad and then project as a trigger to denounce the cast for feeling this triggered state they self-created. Instead we could laugh and think simply "Oh no Clarence is being weird and may be interested in children and no one but Clarence seems to know.. Run Joey run, get out of that cockpit. Hahaha" because at the end of the day, we do not imagine anything outside of that. "What if Clarence was there alone with Joe" or " What if I was Joey" or "what if they were all like Clarence" or "what if something physical happened" or "doesn't this endorse that inappropriate behaviour"....
Because that is virtue signaling and morality policing and it neither exalts the person nannying nor diminishes the movie.
It is a shame that this happens nowadays.
Seeing the "woke" generation getting shocked and offended gives new life to these jokes.
Thank You!
You can really tell which reactor understands comedy and their deeper contexts and who doesn’t. This was actually an interesting experiment.
Yeah this was definitely a different time to where we can laugh about anything and everything. Makes me glad to see most people laugh. Its all comical. I grew up in the 80s where everything was comical. And still to this day, any sort of comedy is comical. Wish people would just take a chill pill and laugh.
