"Come to think of it, I've never landed a plane in my life" Pure gold

All jokes aside, you got to respect the man, he had been to almost every single war ever recorded in history.

"He'll try to prove you're incompetent." "I can prove that as well as he can"

"president Benson" "no your not. Seen him on television, hes an older man, about my height."

Every single fucking thing the Admiral says fucking slays me. I can't handle how awesome his comedic delivery and slapstick is, 10/10.

Lloyd Bridges and Leslie Neilsen two of the best dead pan comedy actors ever

“First Lady…Hell I dunno I’ve had a lotta women!” Kills me. 😂

"I don't have a clue what you're talking about- not a fucking clue....you just do what you do". I can't tell you how many times I worked this into a briefing in my military career.

The best Admiral and President the US never had.

“Don’t tell me, there were two crabs. They work in pairs.” This always made me laugh harder than I should’ve for some reason lol.

The part where he starts yelling at the painting thinking it's a window.... Dead.

"Admiral Benson." "Really, that's my name to!"

You missed my favorite line, "Alright Saddam, we'll do this the old Navy way. The first guy to die loses!"

".... Come to think of it, i've never landed a plane in my life."

The fact that this is Jeff Bridges' dad is kind of mind-blowing to me.

Lloyd bridges should have been nominated for an Oscar for this role

13:37 Topper: "President Benson." President: "No you're not, I've seen him on television. He's an older man, about my height."

I think if Bridges and Nielsen ever had a full scene together in a movie like this the space time continuum would shatter.

The soldiers doing the Rockettes kick line behind Benson is absolutely hilarious.

Lloyd Bridges is the only man that can bring me to tears from laughter and gasping for air.This movie is my all time favorite parody. Every line is delivered at the exact moment to get you laughing. I'm only 28 and I'm gonna sound like an old geezer, but damn it... they don't make comedies like they used to... Hot Shots and Airplane! are unlike any other!

"... your secondary targets, an accordion factory and a mime school..." That's it. I'm dead.

When he's talking to the painting shouting Roy... Roy! Kills me everytime. Lmao

His comedic delivery slays…. I consider him a comic genius I wish I could have enjoyed him in more parodies

President Benson: Looks like we’ve got our saboteur! That’s your wife, sir! Benson: Find out what she knows!

Whoever wrote the script for just Admiral Benson scenes needs to be knighted, I swear He alone makes the film. they don't make films like this no more, Such a shame, But im so glad to be alive to have so many good memories of watching this film, RIP Lloyd Bridge, Thank you for the countless laughs and tears you brought me, Its 2018 and Im still in stitches from watching this.

"Sir, the enemy is over there." "Then we'll FLY THEM OVER HERE. they can bring their relatives, we'll teach them to ice skate."

1:50 "Of course I'm alright. Why what have you heard?"

"It's either soup or duck. Which one do you shoot?" "Duck, sir" *headbutts desk* When I saw that for the first time, I almost choked.

Admiral Benson: My eyes are ceramic. Caught a bazooka round at Little Big Horn. Or was it Okinawa? The one without the Indians.

"Cookie?" "No thanks" "Young lady?" "No thank you" "No no, i was just offering him a young lady" :D

The funeral gunfight scene STILL has me cracking up 😂😂😂😂

I laughed more in these 18 mins than I did in the last 20 years in all movies.

3:30 "Jumping Jesus they're back!" This kills me every time!!

my favourite; "of course I'm alright. why......what have you heard." lmao.

"How are you Sir?" "Hawaii? I'm in Hawaii, God damn it Bill I'm supposed to be in California." From childhood to this day this remains my favourite comedy character of all time. The delivery of every single word is perfection. Comedy of the likes of which has never been matched. I've quoted many of his lines for years, sometimes without even realising. Like when someone asks me if I'm alright I ask "Why, what have you heard?" and if I slip or trip I'll say I slipped on a crab, then if they say there wasn't a crab I'll follow up with "there were 2 crabs, they work in pairs." Hardly ever gets laugh when I do it. I love how he calls Block a different name every time. "President Benson." "No you're not. I've seen him on television, he's an older man about my height." Honestly these two movies have given me so much joy over the years. I don't even need to watch them anymore, I've seen them so many times I can pretty much recall the entire script for both. "Roy! ROY! huh, I even went to school with that man."

For those who don't know, Lloyd Bridges is the father of Jeff "The Big Lebowski" Bridges 🙂 legendary family!

"if Edwards gets wind of this he'll use it against you in the campaign, he'll try to prove that you're incompetent" "I can prove that as well as he can" 😂😂😂😂

You risked the lives of some damn fine pilots, that's my job.

_"...it seems like only yesterday I was strafing so many of your homes..."_ 😂😂😂 Bridges was utterly on point in these films.. the deadpan delivery and the physicality of it all.. a master Thanks for the upload ❤🇬🇧

The cap churned in the rotator blades from the helicopter gets me 😂😂😂 then “my baby my baby” screaming!!😂

Leslie Nielsen and Lloyd Bridges perfected the principle of delivering their lines completely straight and in a serious manner which made the contrast to the comedic content even bigger and would make even silly jokes hilarious. I can't think of anyone whose delivery of lines comes close. Sad but true.

When he puts the earplugs in his mouth and swallows them with water. 😂😂

„Pudding?“, „No, thank you, Sir!“ 😂😂😂😂

0:25 Hats off to the band - they kept playing and didn't even miss a note.

15:20 *SMACK* Bob: "Oh Jesus...Oh God..." Benson: "No time for prayer, Bob."

Admiral Benson was a cyborg. Most of his body, was made of synthetics, metal, plastic and wire.

When he screams Roy at the paint i Lost my mind. Pure genius.

life imitating art...

Bridges stole the show totally in this movie. He was outstanding.

Christ this is some of the funniest shit ever. When he said his tongue was a basset hound's and then started lapping the water, I almost lost my shit.

"Those bluffs look treacherous." My favorite line from any movie, ever.

OMG!!! Prophetic!!! Wow!! From 1991 😂😮

One of my favorite parts of this movie is when he has his secretary read back what he was telling her to write and she said, "If you ever put your hands on my goddamn wife..." lmao

They don't make spoofs like this anymore, they've tried and failed. Mostly due to lack of imagination and lines they're afraid to cross. Same with horrors now too

The fact that he keeps calling the same guy by different names EVERY time has me in stiches 🤣 The met- Ryan I'm glad you're here. The goodbye - run along now Blake 🤣

The patience and self-control of Lieutenant Commander James Block do impress me. Poor Admiral Benson !!! He’s so off on another planet 😂😂😂

"Our rescue mission was under way, but 2 things kept running through my mind; would we get to the men in time and why did i bring helium instead of air?" LMAO

The good old days with Lloyd Bridges and Leslie Nielson. I wish it was 1996.

"My lips to yours"... That phrase stuck with me for over 20 years 😂

The 302 dislikes are people who don't get old comedy.

I really goddamn miss Lloyd Bridges

How are ye sir? Hawaii? God dammit bill Im supposed to be in California. Hahahahahaha gold.

So ahead of it's time.

1:59 Notice the hilarious choreography behind the admiral ...

"He'll try to prove that you're incompetent" "I can prove that as well as he can." This kind of humor is just nonexistant today. Lloyd Bridges and Leslie Nielsen were deadpan comedy gems. It works so much better when played by older actors and I just don't see many around capable of pulling it off the way they did.

"Bazooka round at little big horn." Jesus, I'm dying here.

I’ve watched both films a heap of times and the “ah, thank you Yoko” makes me giggle like a wee girl every time!

"You risked the lives of some damn fine pilots, thats MY job" 😂😂

"Appoint an ambassador... He leaves the country!" - that's hilarious.

One of the funniest movie characters I've ever seen. Bridges completely hit it out of the park.

Loved these films. Fascinating and scary just how similar Benson and Biden are...

these scenes NEVER GET OLD! both movies are 30 years old and still LMAO like it’s first time I watched as a kid…love Japan PM’s reaction to his dentures in wine then he embraces his wife like he’s seriously scared lol then Benson walks around like nothing happened hahaha

Adm. Benson: Have they no respect for the dead? *Opens coffin.

"Every time I give an order, things get screwed up! Plan a reception, they bring you all hors d'oeuvres. Appoint an ambassador, and the next thing you know it he leaves the country. Now this!"

that funeral scene was just amazing in every way

Lloyd Bridges could have done a couple movies playing Admiral Benson as main character, damnit

"Prime Minister Tojo" that's fucking funny.

President Benson 2020!

I can never get serious through him shouting at the painting, calling for Roy hahahahaha

All we can really take from this, is that Benson is the most advanced cyborg ever.

Kevin Dunn plays an awesome straight man in these scenes. Not a flinch on him, which makes Bridge's performance all the more hilarious imo. :-)

"Now I look at all you wonderful guys and say to myself what I wouldn't give to be 20 years younger.......... and a woman!" (2:29)

"Pudding??" Kills me every time

When he returns fire at the Marine guard, gets me every time.

Lloyd Bridges and Leslie Nielsen, two actors who moved from serious to comedy so brilliantly. You look back on their non comedy work now, and I laugh, expecting them to say something silly!

IF there will ever be a better sight gag than "At Ease" I hope to live long enough to see it.

“PUDDING?” (splat) That cracks me up every time.

"at ease man" my favourite scene and the dude with the scarf and sunglasses I love it xD

"Find out what she knows"

I love how they keep the joke alive they did in Airplane. Where it was the wrong week to quit on everything. And how Benson has almost every part of his body replaced with something bizarre and absurd. From asbestos skin to aluminum ear tubes, the tongue of a dog and how he got his wounds in all sorts of wars he couldn't possibly have been in. "Got a mean shot in the leg at Little Big horn. Or was it Okinawa?! Well, it was with the Indians!"

Well, what do you know? They knew exactly how to predict the future. This documentary of President JB is spot on, from the tumbling of the stairs to the last detail. Amazing.

This is so close to actual being a prediction of the future it is uncanny. Even the name is close.

Don't tell me there was two crabs they work in pairs 😂

Roy!.... ROY!!.....Nah.....

“This isn’t my tongue. Lost mine in Laos chopped off by a little commy. Got this one from a Bassett Hound”. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

"I dont have a clue what your talkin about Phil, not a fuckin clue" lollol

Favorite one has to be the "at ease men" part, the man in the background with the white scarf, sun glasses and the wind blowing on him takes the cake :p

*They should have made a buddy cop movie with admiral Benson and detective drebin!*

Admiral Benson still makes me laugh so hard after all these years... never got the props that he truly deserved

He is literally the reason why I love Hot Shots so fucking much
