There's so many dated and underlying jokes in this movie that younger audiences of today can't possibly appreciate because of the time gap. One example is the older woman who "speaks jive" to the black guys is Barbara Billingsley. The audience in 1980 would all know that she played June Cleaver in the 1950's T.V. show "Leave It To Beaver". She was the epitome of the white, suburban, nuclear family house wife who wore a dress and pearls just to vacuum the house and clean the kitchen. The notion that she, of all people, can speak JIVE just made the scene that much more hilarious.

@@bobd2659 Howard Jarvis was a tax policy lobbyist. He is most notable for being the driving force behind California's Proposition 13, which drastically slashed property tax rates. He hard the simple-minded belief that this would cause landlords to pass the savings along to renters. Predictably, they didn't do this. Communities, school districts, and the like suffered budget shortfalls all over the state, especially when voters shot down bond measures designed to make up the shortfalls. That was basically his legacy - voters had to pass bond measures (which always led to couples like Sue and me with a net loss) or watch government services crumble and left voters frustrated. Whenever I watch this hilarious film, I get a flash of annoyance when I see his face, washed away by the amusement of watching Jarvis just setting in the taxi, alone and ignored, while the meter sits - there, totting up the increasing dollars and cents as his fare steadily uses.

It would have capped the price of houses, since no middle class family could afford the property tax each year; the median price per square foot for a single-family house has risen 310% since 1980 in California. It would have stymied growth in Southern Cal. in 1980 the average price of a home in California was under 50K. The average salary was 12K. The average person couldn't pay a higher percentage in property tax. The end of private single-family home ownership would have ended and everyone would have been in apartments forever paying the landlord rent. This is happening right now across the USA. @@akaSlasher

The Zucker brothers actually bought the rights to a 1950s movie called "Zero Hour!" in order to spoof it without breaking any copyright laws. Besides the jokes, puns and sight gags, most of the film is word-for-word from the original film, and delivered in the same deadpan style. This movie "discovered" the comedic talents of Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges and Peter Graves, all of whom had been serious dramatic actors with lengthy careers previous to this film. Numerous deadpan-style comedies followed, most notably the Naked Gun and Hot Shots series. Also, the lady that "spoke Jive" was Barbara Billingsley, the wholesome mom in the "Leave it to Beaver" series from the 50s. The guy checking under the airplane's hood was a cameo by Jimmie Walker from the 70s sitcom "Good Times", famous for his line, "Dyn-o-mite!" "I feel like I've seen him before..." The actor playing the Hare Krishna that you recognized was comedian David Leisure, who became famous in the 80s for a series of automobile ads as the lying car salesman "Joe Isuzu." The first time I ever saw the movie, I was laughing so hard I definitely missed half the jokes and had to watch it again. There are a lot of gags in it that were in the background (blink or you'll miss it jokes), and some of them were very "70s" jokes that don't work well unless you know the 70s, but most of them are still funny today.

A lot of the humor in this movie is missed because younger audience members (those watching the movie ten years after it was released) miss the references.

Having the original Mr. Phelps from TV's Mission: Impossible innocently ask a kid if he ever saw a grown man naked was what rocked audiences when this movie was released. There's also a bit of a carry through having Leave It To Beaver's mother translating jive as the actor who played her oldest son was in the director's previous Kentucky Fried Movie (written and acted by the three and directed by John Landis) playing that role in a court room scene. I'm sure others on this comment section will fill you in on more references, particularly the Zero Hour ones which also included unaltered lines from that movie.

I’m not sure what you’d recognize him from, as you seem fairly young and I’m not sure what else he’s done since back then. He was a real flash in the pan… a 5-10 year career peak. A nobody before and a nobody since. Btw, this movie has tons of interesting actor/character placements. They used Peter Graves, Robert Stack and Leslie Nielsen to give it a dramatic expectation (Nielsen had only done dramas up until now). The woman speaking jive is a stereotypical 1950s mom from TV (Barbara Billingsley… June Cleaver from Leave It To Beaver). And there are many more (like JJ Walker). It’s quite a tour de force.

The prop noise was also another nod to the original "Zero Hour!" movie, which was several decades older and thus did take place on a propellor-driven plane, accompanied by the distinctive constant engine drone. ZAZ put so much detail into their movies, both onscreen and off, and their films often have almost as many funny stories around them as in them. For example, the bickering husband-and-wife airport announcers were, in fact, husband-and-wife airport announcers. The guy sitting in the back of Ted's cab was a famous crusader against government waste and anti-consumer practices at the time, and so would be the last dude to just sit there and watch the meter run. There's also sillier small jokes, like the lady at 2:58 who instantly hurls her baby into the air as she starts to run from the plane. If you like ZAZ movies, you should definitely check out their spiritual successors, the Farrelly Brothers ("There's Something About Mary", "Kingpin", "Dumb and Dumber", etc).

The key of the success of this movie was how intelligent were David and Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams when it comes to use the absurd humor. And is because that humor is using from a tragic set and serious actings, mocking about the drama, so the impact is funnier because the sensation of scapism is bigger. Many people hate this film and say its humor is silly...but come on, is really clever and witty. Favorite scenes: the dance in the disco, the sordid conversations between Peter Graves and Ross Harris, Robert Hays covered in sweat while landing the plane, Lorna Patterson singing River of Jordan, Ted's flashbacks about the Molombos tribe, the slap-in-a-row scene, and of course all the scenes of Leslie Nielsen and Robert Stack.

One thing that I didn't see in the comments was that Leslie Neilson had for years tried to get a comedic acting role but couldn't get one because he was a 'serious dramatic' actor. and neither the studios or his manager wanted to play with his image. Then along comes Airplane and he steals the show. He never played another dramatic role in his life. I don't know for a fact (because I never spoke to the man) but I suspect his attitude was...WORTH IT.

Since you liked the music, I recommend Stripes (1981), preferably the theatrical cut. The score for both Airplane! and Stripes was done by Elmer Bernstein. Airplane! has serious actors in a comedic role, Stripes has a mostly serious score accompanying a comedic movie. The Stripes March wouldn't be out of place in a classic war film... Bernstein worked on a few of those too.

1) Legit case for funniest movie ever. 2) Using the kids for the coffee scene was brilliant. Check on KZfaq Airplane coffee scene original and the spoof. 3) Opening a film about an airplane with a JAWS gag. Brilliant! 4) They show establishing shots of a jet plane, but you can clearly hear throughout the film that it's a propeller aircraft. Brilliant audio gag, but in truth they wanted it to be a propeller plane but the studio said it had to be a jet. So they used the jet, but just had propeller sounds throughout. I think that makes it funny for several reasons. It wasn't so much a joke for the audience, it was just going around what the studio wanted. Complying with them, but in the most blatantly noncompliant way possible.

You were right about Peter Graves from Mission Impossible. The Hari Krishna guy who said he gave at the office was a guy who first became famous for a series of commercials in the 80s where he played a cheesy liar. Later, he had a regular role as the cheesy neighbor on the TV sitcom Empty Nest. You might remember Robert Hays from several things, but his biggest TV roles were as the husband on the sitcom Angie (a show that had a lot of similarities to the sitcom Rhoda). Angie was a waitress who marries a rich guy played by Hayes, and the show was about her adjusting to her new wealth. In the show, she also had a demanding mother and a kid sister, just like Rhoda. And much later, when they turned the sci-fi movie Starman into a regular series, Hays played the role of the alien (played by Jeff Bridges in the movie. Whose father, Lloyd Bridges is in this movie as the guy who keeps quitting all of his addictions this week, BTW). In the series, Starman returns to earth to find his love interest from the movie had a son by him, and he joins with his teenage son to find her. Starman might be a fun movie to check out too.

Since the movie is over 40 years old, younger people may not get some of the jokes because they are in reference to something of that era. There are also some big name actors that younger people may not know but there’s enough comedy to make anybody laugh. “Airplane! (alternatively titled Flying High!)[5] is a 1980 American parody film written and directed by 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.”

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother is actually a Gene Wilder movie - he wrote, directed, and stars in it - but the style is familiar to Brooks fans.

This is not a dig on Jen, but this movie is greatly lost on those not of the era in which it was released. So many laughs depend upon recognition of actors in this film going totally against character, and other references to the late '70s (or what we would now consider memes of that time). How many 20-somethings today recognize Howard Jarvis playing the guy in the taxi? Know why he is notable, or know why it was entertaining to see him in this scene? Or what the woman thinking about her husband having a second cup of coffee at home is supposed to mean. I know because I'm 68-years old. But I don't expect a person 40 years my junior to know about the pop culture of that time. At least half the energy of this movie has been eroded by time and memory. If you are young and think this movie is funny, double your funny score for those of us that saw it in the time it was released.

Genius casting, picking actor who, up to this point, had been known primarily for their dramatic roles to play many of the parts - Peter Graves (yes, ftom Mission Impossible), Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges (father of Beau and Jeff Bridges), and Leslie Nielson. Nielson had already had a successful career as a dramatic actor through the 50s, 60s, and 70s before becoming known to a younger generation as a comedic actor. This was Ethel Merman’s last movie role. The two airport crew who crashed the plane into the airport at the beginning of the movie were played by David and Larry Zucker, the writers and directors of the film. Their mother Charlotte played the passenger putting on her makeup. I hope you saw the post credits scene. This was the first movie I’d ever seen with a post credits scene.
