OT: Airplane

[horshack.sixpack]

There aren’t many movies that I’ve laughed nearly the entire time and probably would still do so today.

Having so many actors play against type was a big part of the hilarity for me. Barbara Billingsley speaking jive, then Nielsen, Stack, Graves, and Bridges doing comedy.

One of my all-time favorites!

Airplane 2 is a rare sequel that stands tall with the original.

I am curious how the next Mel Brooks movie Space Ball 2 is going to be.

I mean, you have a movie where Beaver Cleaver's Mom speaks JIVE! You've hit the pinnacle folks.

Also, watching it during the 80’s on HBO as a preteen boy, I always looked forward to the bouncing ta ta’s during the panic scene.

To be clear, I still look forward to it as a 48 year old man

This and Smokey and the Bandit are my almost weekly quotes…..

thank you nice lady
You ever seen a grown man naked
I picked a bad day to stop sniffing glue

Daddy a football game
I need 2 Diablo sandwiches and a Dr peper
There is not way you came from my loins
That’s puppy **** compared to what this guys done

I keep noticing new things every time I revisit it. Like the doctor at the Mayo Clinic having the shelves behind him filled with mayonnaise.

“I have an emergency call for you on line 5 from a Mr. Ham”

“Give me ham on 5, hold the Mayo.”

Yuku used to cause double posts all the time. When someone would double post i would reply "I want to tell you both Goodluck, we are all counting on you"

I HATE this movie. I walked out of the theater when it originally came out. None of those actors are funny and you can't do the Shirley joke 7 times.

Steve Martin did stupid humor that was funny. Cheech and Chong could do stupid humor. Airplane was just stupid.

I remember going to this movie when I was 8 way back in 1980. Have laughed at it ever since. My wife(and all women I know) think it's the stupidest movie ever made. Every time it comes on she's like "I'm not watching that stupid movie". Five minutes in I'm on the floor. Airplane, Revenge of the Nerds, and Dumb and Dumber are some of the greatest "male humor" movies.

ETA: add the Naked Gun films also. Wife hates them. I roll on the floor.

So, I love the movie, but I understand your take. If you didn't see the movie with the right audience, the jokes might not land at all. Its kind of a non stop barrage of silly jokes delivered dead pan. If other people aren't laughing, it's easy to think it's just stupid.

Same thing that doomed the Police Squad! TV series.

This is an Unpopular Opinion.
