The "Entirely different kind of flying, altogether" jokes was another literal joke. Since he said the words "all together" they said it all together. An entirely different kind of flying.

The subtlest joke: it’s a jet aircraft, yet the sound effect is a propeller aircraft. :-)

This was the movie that gave Leslie Nielsen the reputation of being a great comedic actor. Before this he was almost exclusively a serious actor, which is part of why his deadpan delivery is so damn good.

Fun fact, this movie holds the record for most laughs per minute of an average theater audience

The genius of this movie is everyone plays it totally straight , like they are in a normal movie. I have seen this movie probably 20 times and just recently realized that the engine noise for the plane is from a prop plane not a jet lol. Also, that WAS The Harlem Globe Trotters.

The "Jive Talk Translator" scene with *Barbara Billingsley* - the mother from _Leave It To Beaver_ - might be the funniest 30 seconds in cinematic history. She tells a great story (easy to find on KZfaq) about how the actors created the "jive talk" for the scene, taught her, & how much fun they had working together.

The brilliant thing about this movie is that most of the leads were not known for comedy such as Nielson, Robert Stack, Peter Graves, etc. I think that is part of what makes it funny. They are playing it straight in an absurdist universe.

"Lets get some pictures!" *Procedes to start looting all the pictures of the walls* One of my favorite gags of all time

Actually, Airplane WAS mocking a genre of movies popular in the '70s: Disaster movies. Airport, specifically, but also Towering Inferno and Earthquake, etc.

One of the amazing things about Leslie Nielsen is that he never did comedy before this, and it's pretty much all he did after.

The best joke in this movie is the droning sound of propellers on every scene outside the plane with jet engines. It’s a subtle reminder of the level of detail from the director.

The fact that they took one premise for a joke, the literal meaning of the statement, and kept doing it over and over while keeping it funny is a tribute to the writers.

Easily one of the most influential comedy movies ever.

"I'm so mad!" Welcome to Airplane, in my opinion one of the greatest comedies of all time.

"Walking Dad jokes" is a great way of dedcribing that I NEVER thought of before lol... Awesome! 🤣

It’s terrific how well this movie has stood the test of time, non-stop funny. As amazing as it sounds, you’re missing dozens of jokes if you are under the age of 45.

Looks like I picked a bad week to quit sniffing glue.

“Cream? No thanks, I take it black…like my men.” I die. Every time.

The “where did you get that dress and those shoes…” line for some reason never ceases to just crack me up to the point where I have to rewind that part over and over again. You have to watch What’s Up Doc. Brilliant comedy that happens to have one of the best car chase scenes ever.

I absolutely die laughing when I see Leslie Nielsen take that extra slap on that panicking lady before he goes.

"Nervous?", "Yes", "First time?", "No, I've been nervous lots of times..." - this film is where the ol' Reddit switcharoo was conceived

It was intended initially to be a shot-for-shot remake of a 50's disaster movie called 'Zero Hour', but with jokes. There's a side by side comparison video on YT somewhere that's definitely worth a watch. If this is you type of comedy, then you need to check out the three Naked Gun movies and Police Squad series by the same creative team.

This literally came out two decades before family guy. This is often considered the godfateher of this style of comedy, I'd argue that Monty Python pioneered this style but this is probably the most note worthy of Absurdist comedy coming to the West.

The "Jim never has a second cup of coffee/vomits at home" was a reference to a series of commercials airing when this was made. The woman appearing in the film for that bit was also in the commercials. Most of the humor is timeless but that's just one bit that's kinda been dated.

Arguably one of the funniest films of all time! Also a fun fact: The two announcers in the beginning arguing about the white and red zones at the airport were the real voices behind the announcements at L.A international airport and later became married to eachother

This is tied with Monty Python and the Holy Grail for the funniest movie I've ever seen.

You should watch Top Secret! From the same directors trio

"They were having subtle jabs at movies." The first, and possibly last, I will see Airplane! referenced as being "subtle." Best. Leo.

11:36 - You're cracking on acting legend Peter Graves, best known for his lead performance in the original TV run of "Mission Impossible." He was initially unnerved by the lines he was given to read in this movie, but his concerns were quelled when someone pointed out the absurdity of said lines. 11:58 - "The goofiest goofball," as you call him, was once one of the more highly regarded dramatic actors of the Golden Age of television. "Airplane!" was the turning point of his career to absurdist comedy. 15:26 - Don't make us explain the joke, James. Please. Stephan Stucker, "Johnny," ad-libbed all of his lines. He could have provided us with comedy gold. Alas, he died early, age 38, from complications of AIDS in 1986. If you liked this, you should also watch "Top Secret," Val Kilmer's first major film as the lead.

Still hilarious to this day. The look on the boy's face when the girl says she takes her coffee black... like her men. It kills me every time.

Man James’s look to camera at the hospital joke had me rolling

"Could you imagine if life was like this?" You've never heard me having a conversation with my kids. Part of the genius of this film was in the casting. You talk about how funny these actors are, but they for the most part were all serious actors. Their ability to play it straight came from the fact that that's what they did for a living. It also made the film that much more hilarious to see these actors sending themselves up.

Les;lie Nielsen's "serious" carreer was in a bad shape before this movie, and this gave him a whole new fan base.

When you did a Jim from the office look to camera after the "it's a big building with patients" all the lolz

"it's an entirely different kind of flying... altogether" they played altogether as a command for them all to say it at the same time. I know jokes aren't funny when explained but I felt a need to

The scene where Lloyd Bridges says, "He's coming right at us" and jumps out the window is still my favorite after seeing this probably 100 times in 35 years! It STILL cracks me up.

I highly recommend the Naked Gun movies if you enjoy this kind of humor.

13:13 -- The day they filmed that scene, he actually had a game that night, so he and the directors thought it would be funny if Roger would be in goggles and shorts. 15:53 -- Lloyd Bridges, father of Jeff Bridges, aka "The Dude".

the next level gem you seek; "Clue" (1985) cast and crew are all through the stratosphere excellent.

Every single line from Stephen Stucker in this movie absolutely slays me. “And Leon’s getting laaarrrrgerrr!” 😂dead😂 Pretty sure this was the first movie the great Jonathan Banks was ever in too. Fun fact: Family Guy used the audio of Leslie Neilson saying “I just want to tell you all good luck. We’re all counting on you” in their Star Wars parody episode when Chris was about to blow up the Death Star.

I just want to tell you both good luck, we’re all counting on you.

"Have you ever seen a grown man naked?" Gets me every fucking time

"The goofiest goof ball of all time" aaaaarrrrrggghhhhh The best part of the joke is that all of the main actors were NOT known for their comedy, they were all known as serious actors.

This was Leslie Nelson's "big Break" into comedy. He'd been a well known, highly respected actor going back 30 years but always in serious dramatic roles. What he really wanted to do was comedy, and this was his first real chance. After this he became known for comedy,

Pretty sure this movie was what inspired Seth Mcfarlen's random cutaway sense of humor. Also, every time Bill Murray was on a plane, he used to ask to be let into the cockpit, and he would tell the pilots: "I just wanna tell you good luck, we are all counting on you".

Ted: It's and entirely different kind of flying, all together! All together: It's an entirely different kind of flying. I think one thing to note from a film making perspective was that the original cut was longer and had more jokes in it, but made the movie less funny, so they trimmed it down. No matter how good you think every scene in your movie might be, you have to be aware of the pacing and how it fits into the whole. Maybe not the funniest thing, but I find it funny how everyone seems to accept the propeller sounds the jet engine plane is making.

They have this rule: If you don't have a joke in the foreground, you got have on in the background and vice versa, These movies do very well on rewatchability

Best thing about the "I speak jive" bit is that the lady is the mother from Leave it to Beaver. The most sacrinly wholesome TV show ever made.

Oh dude. You've gotta watch Top Secret now. Its probably the best thing these directors have made. A comedic masterpiece.

Surely you can't be serious. Love this movie.

Some fun bits of info for you: As noted, this is based on "Zero Hour", a very serious movie. A couple of years ago, I watched "Zero Hour" on TCM, and couldn't keep a straight face. I felt a little sorry about that, but the movie's gained a weird sort of immortality thanks to "Airplane". I love the subtitled jive too. The strange old man captain is Peter Graves, one-time lead actor on the tv series version of "Mission: Impossible". He was a strictly dramatic actor, like several others here, Leslie Nielson included. They were all a little afraid of the comedy, but were all told to play it straight, which they did, and which just enriched everything.

This is the OG slapstick/parody/non sensible comedy and the use of play on words is still unmatched in cinema

You'll have to watch it multiple times to get all the jokes you miss from laughing at the previous joke.

see, you call Leslie Nielsen the 'goofiest goofball of all time' but until Airplane, Nielsen was a serious film actor, being in the Poseidon Adventure and multiple spy, action, crime and sci-fi movies, Airplane is what started his major career in comedy also he said 'it's an entirely different kind of flying, all together' and then they repeated it all together, it's definitely the kind of film you can watch 10 times over and still find something you missed in the last 9

This movie is scientifically proven to be the funniest movie made, producing at least three laughs a minute!

The jokes come in so thick and fast that you end up missing about half of them on first viewing due to laughing and the prior joke.

This is as close to Monty Python silly, as American comedy ever got. Excellent cameo by co-pilot/NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also.

One of the funniest, silliest movies ever made. Period. Yeah, the two guys talking jive was funny. It became hilarious later when Barbara Billingsly (America's mom from 1950's - 60's Leave It To Beaver) started talking jive too.😂😂🤣🤣 For another screwy comedy try Peter Bogdonovich's 1972 screwball comedy What's Up Doc with Barbara Streisand, Ryan O'Neal and Madeline Kahn.

"These were like the original SCARY MOVIEs" You know... after the Wayans left, SCARY MOVIE 3 and 4 were directed by David Zucker, this film's director. He also brought in Leslie Nielsen to play the President in those films.

I love how many time your brain needed to "buffer" after a punchline before it sank in. xD This movie throw punchlines non-stop so we forget to always be expecting one.

Glad you liked it! Check out "Team America: World Police" from the creators of South Park next. Hysterical.

15:25 this bit is just about them taking what he says very literally. "It's a different kind of flying, all together!" Can be interpreted as him asking them to say it back, so they repeat what he just said.

For every joke you heard or saw, there were at least 3 you missed. Makes it so much fun for re-watches.

Striker: “It’s an entirely different kind of flying… altogether.” The other two, all together: “It’s an entirely different kind of flying.”

Vaudeville humor is where it all stems from.

this is one to rewatch, I GUARANTEE you missed some jokes because everyone does, for example you were laughing so hard at the Tylenol joke that you missed one of my favourite, when at the end of the interview the reporter says "OK boys, let's get some pictures" and they just start taking pictures that are hanging on the walls

The best thing is that Robert Stack, Leslie Nielsen, Peter Graves and Lloyd Bridges have never starred in a comedy before. They were all known for playing serious characters in (more or less) serious movies. Thus they were able to deliver any dialogue as straight-faced and deadpan as humanly possible.

"I picked the wrong week to quit..." is Lloyd Bridges, father of Jeff and Beau Bridges and a famous actor before those boys were out of their nappies.

Also, up until this point, Leslie Nielsen was considered a "serious" actor.

here are more highly recommended parody comedies you should check out, Airplane 2, Fatal Instinct, Men in tights, Top Secret, Loaded Weapon, The Naked Gun, Hot Shots

What’s especially great about Leslie Nielsen in comedies like this is he was a serious actor for many years before being in silly comedies like this and the Naked Gun movies lmao. Which makes his deadpan humor all the better

One of the very subtle ongoing jokes is every time they show an eternal shot of the plane flying, the noise you hear can only come from aircraft with propellers.

I always wanted to be able to go back in time on opening day in a full theatre and hear peoples laughs for the first time. It must of been an awesome experience.

The best part of this movie is that now, as the years go by and you think back on this shit.. it just keeps getting funnier.

The actor whose character jumped through the control tower window is Lloyd Bridges, star of Sea Hunt and father of Jeff and Beau Bridges.

The guy getting into the cab is Howard Arnold Jarvis (R), and was half of Cal prop 13.

As others have said you should definitely watch Top Secret, Val Kilmer's debut movie, if you enjoy this kind of humor. I think you'd like it a lot. ;)

Jonny is my all time favourite character in this film! 'What can you make of this?' 'Well... I can make a hat or a broach or pterodactyl!' Great reaction, cheered my Monday up no end!

Some things you might have missed: 1. Ted said he was in the Air Force but he was wearing a Navy uniform at the nightclub where he met Elaine. 2. The airplane is a jet but we hear a prop engine. 3. Yes we used to be able to smoke in the back half of the aircraft. 4. The hubcap that spins out of control at the end is from the ambulance taking Lisa the heart patient to the hospital 5. Two more funny movies to watch are: "Young Frankenstein" and "Blazing Saddles" both are Mel Brookes movies with Gene Wilder. 6. Airplane II is good too.🤣

"I just feel like my bridge of imagination just intertwined." - James Sept 20, 2021

If you liked this one you’ve got to watch “The Gods Must Be Crazy”. A great classic comedy.

I found this movie even funnier when I found out that this is basically a shot for shot remake of a movie called Zero Hour! a lot of the lines are still the same from the original script but said with a deadpan tone and it becomes funny. The director ended up buying Zero Hour! before Airplane! came out to not get any lawsuits but in the end the studio who previously owned didnt care and sold the rights to the movie for an extremely low amount of money

The amount of knee slappers are relentless! And to keep a serious face while cracking em?! This movie stands out on its own.

The beauty of this movie is the more you watch it, the more gags you pick up that you didn't the first time.

So. "All Together". I take it you've never been in a chorus. Ok. So there are songs that they will split up and have different sections of the chorus sing different parts at different times. When they want everyone to go back and sing the same thing at the same time the director will say "all together". Same for sing-a-longs, stuff like that. So when he said "it's an entirely different kind of flying *all together*" they thought he wanted them to both repeat what he said, so they said "it's entirely different kind of flying" together. 😁 I've seen this movie a gazillion times. TOP SECRET!, starring my all-time favorite actor Val Kilmer, is in my all-time top ten movies. I know everyone already recommended it but still. It wasn't as popular at the time but it has grown in popularity over the years.

This is one of the greatest comedies, non-stop laughs...that is what good comedy forgot it should be...Airplane 2 was just as funny.

As a filmaker, you should know that this movie is almost a scene by scene parody of the movie "Zero Hour".

One cameo most everyone misses is the guy in the cab. That is one Howard Jarvis, a business man, lobbyist, and politician. Most famously known for forming the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, and for being the driving force behind the passage of Proposition 13 in California in the late 80's.

`Top Secret` with Val Kilmer has the same over the top comedy style. A little bit more slow pased but with an awesome story.

I've never laughed so hard at a reaction video before. Makes me want to be a patron again :)

15:35 - When Striker said "It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether", Randy and Dr. Rumack thought "altogether" was for them to repeat Striker's words in unison.

What makes the comedy of this movie so hilarious is the fact that most of them were serious actors.

If you like this type of comedy then you need to see the Hot Shots movies.

This is a scene for scene remake of Zero Hour (1957), but with added jokes. In fact the producers actually bought the rights to Zero Hour so they could use some of the original dialogue. Because Zero Hour had a propeller driven aircraft, all of the aircraft sound effects in Airplane were of a prop aircraft, even though it is plainly a jet. A very meta joke. If you have watched it once, you have seen about half the jokes. This was also Leslie Nielsen's first attempt at comedy. Before this he had been a serious actor.

So close to 75K. Keep up the great work buddy, love the content and love the vibe!

If you like this kind of thing, I cannot recommend Young Frankenstein enough. It is a classic.

Speaking of Lethal Weapon, you might want to try out the spoof, Loaded Weapon, staring Samuel L Jackson, Emilio Estevez, Willam Shatner, Tim Curry and Kathy Ireland.

Kareem getting visibly annoyed when Joey recognizes him is low-key one of my favorite scenes in the movie. It's just never explained why he's living a secret life as a pilot.

Leslie neilsen used to play really straight roles. They had him on this playing a proppa straight role and it was comedy gold
