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

The sheer, utter confusion as they adapt to this film is just classic. The black coffee reaction was top tier. I ❤️ you ladies.

You can always get a good idea if the person watching this is young, because the “smoking or non smoking” question confuses young people, but older ones generally remember when airplanes had smoking sections.

This reaction was so much fun. I loved seeing you two start off trying to find some sort of logic or reason behind the humor and then gradually giving in to the absurdity. This is just a series of jokes loosely attached to the thinnest of stories. Just gotta go with it. Lol

The look on your face, when the girl said why she takes her coffee black...I'm dead. 🤣☠️🤣☠️ That was priceless.

I think the only people who didn’t survive were the ones who Ted bored to death with his stories. So, I guess he saved most of the passengers by landing the plane, and by not talking to them.

The answer to all your “why” questions is “It’s a comedy.”

It's nuts to me how certain people's minds work to the level that the Zuckers' do when it comes to comedy. I've rarely seen a more consistently hilarious film ❤

I just want to tell you both, good luck, We're all counting on you.

22:45 The actress playing the part of “Jive Lady” (as she’s credited) is Barbara Billingsley, who played the mother in the late ‘50’s/early ‘60’s sitcom, Leave It To Beaver, a part about as far removed from a “jive-ass dude” talking character as you can get. This was probably the first film with an after credits scene- cut to the man still in the cab at LAX, saying, “Well, I’ll give him another twenty minutes- but that’s it!” There were a few jokes sprinkled into the end credits, as well.

“I didn’t know this was a comedy” hahahahhahahahaha awesome reaction

The woman who was thinking to herself that husband never has a second cup of cofffee... That is from a well known Tasters Choice coffee commercial from the 1970s. There are lots of little things like that that seem kind of random but were funny at the time because we had all seen the same TV shows, movies and commercials that the movie was making fun of. Basically if you see something that seems kind of like... what??? It's one of those moments that is lost in time. One of these days I need to make a video with clips from all those 70s media that they were making fun of for folks like you to watch before you watch this movie. In 1999 it was voted by film critics the funniest American movie of all time. It really was. But...

You know these are good people when they care for the well being of the extras. 😊

2:30 there's an actual Mayo Clinic....the guy who founded it was named mayo. lmao. 🙂 4:06 those guys wrote the dialogue for their scenes themselves! lmao 🙂 11:25 it's from a TV ad for coffee....they were running it all through the 80s, I graduated hs in 1996 so I remember it from when I was kid, it's the same woman too. "Jim never has a 2nd cup of coffee" meaning he wants one this time because it's so good. They build on it later on the movie when he throws up and she says "jim never vomits at home" lmao

This came out in 1980 when I was 15. This is my favorite comedy of all time and i know every line! Lots of puns, dad jokes, literal humor, silliness, goofy humor! You might not get some of the jokes, but if youre silly you'll like it if not it's going to be a long night! This movie is 43 years old and ive seen it hundreds of times and i still laugh hysterically at it! Enjoy! "By the way I speak jive" hilarious!

I've never heard a reactor ask, "Do you think they survived from the fish poisoning?" That was an excellent question. I would guess you would have to surmise though that the story in Airplane! is secondary to the comedy. 😁 Thank you for watching this one. The horse comments were pretty funny too!🐴 🤩🖤🤍

Fun Fact on the Saturday Night Fever spoof: While he was doing Airplane, actor Robert Hays (Ted Striker) was also doing a short lived sitcom called Angie and his Angie Co-Star Donna Pescow was in Saturday Night Fever. There is a sequel to Airplane called Airplane 2 The Sequel which is also worth a look just to see William Shatner steal the show.

28:44 Those people aren't waiting to get on the plane. They are waiting to meet people getting off the plane. You used to be able to go out to the gate and meet your friends and family when they arrived. That changed when the TSA was created just after 9/11.

My goodness, just the innocence coming from both of you is worth watching some of your reactions. I can't believe there are people like you still living here on earth.

4:15 You were not allowed to smoke during taxi, takeoff, or landing, but in the smoking section of the plane, you could smoke once the plane reached cruising altitude.

What added to the ridiculousness of it at the time, is all of the main older actors were well known for playing very serious roles. To see them uttering such silly dialogue with a straight face was hilarious.

What the other folks commented. Plus... Back then you could smoke on a plane in the "smoking section". It's a strange idea to younger people but I had to live thru it. The driving scene was a joke on the rear-projection technique used in movies. He wasn't even steering. The Zipper speech at the end was a play on a Ronald Reagan film from the 1940s, Knute Rockne, All-American. He played George Gipp and that character had a melodramatic death. He was forever known as "The Gipper" and it even continued when he became president. The egg bit is an old magic trick. The lamps were not to slow the plane, it was "every light you can get being poured onto the runway". I hope that illuminates the joke for you. :) It's all just nonstop silliness, and I am glad you had such a good time with it. Great reaction!

21:11 First time I ever saw you two laugh that hard.. SInce I had to actually do that once in San Fransisco I can identify. Greatest thing about this movie is all the lead role actors were mostly Drama/Cop show veterans, And they still pulled off a funny masterpiece!

This is one of the most brilliant comedies ever

They are just jokes ladies , just kind of insensitive 1970s jokes but pretty funny jokes nonetheless 😂

A lot of those actors were famous for playing serious roles and this was the first time they did comedy which made it all the more funny when it came out at the theater. The old guy in the Cab (Jarvis) led a property tax revolt in California a few years earlier and that was all he was known for.

I wonder how many people in theaters cheered then that plane hit the antenna of that Disco radio station. "Where Disco lives forever!" (*Crash!*)

There are several gags that are based on things from long ago that you would not know about so those scenes may not make sense to you. The scene where the wife says her husband doesn't want a second cup of coffee and then he takes one and she says to herself "He never drinks a second cup at home" is a parody of an old Folger's coffee commercial from the 1960s. The scene on the beach where they get covered with water is a parody of a very famous scene from the 1953 film "From Here To Eternity" with Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr.

It was so sweet that you thought of those who ate the fish. Awe.. so much compassion. It's refreshing.

'Do you think the people who ate the fish survived' Lol. 😂

An all time classic...Thanks for reacting.

7:46 To translate their dinner order. The first gentleman would like the Porterhouse steak with coffee to drink. The second gentleman would like fish, fried in butter with a salad on the side.

2:20 "So an actual mayo clinic?" I'm so glad you noticed! Some people don't. :D

Jive is so cool. I was born in the 70s. Reminds me of Lionel from the Jeffersons talking jive.

You two have the most pleasant personalities of any reactors I have seen... :)

These two were hilarious. I don't think they knew it was ok to laugh. I'm going to guess they got about 10% of the jokes. lol

Don't miss "The Bad Seed" , the original from 1956. No one is reacting to it. I doubt that anyone who's seen it has ever forgotten it.

Jyn is adorable when she smiles! This movie is a classic and the second one is just as funny! Great movie and great reaction!

I love these dead-pan humor movies from the 80's, with the most ridiculous situations being met with the most serious expressions! Leslie Neilson also starred in the Police Squad series and movies, which follow the same sort of set-up and are incredibly funny.

4:11 the joke about smoking or non smoking was that in 1980 smoking was still legal on most American airlines. The two black guys were speaking jive it was a 60s/70s thing. The joke made more sense in 1980. 11:29 was in reference to a 1970s coffee commercial. 22:57 this joke was because the actress was on a 1950s sitcom called Leave it to Beaver and played a very traditional housewife, you’d really have to see the show to get why it’s funny to see her speaking jive.

Fun fact: here, in France, this movie is titled "Is there a pilote in the airplane?" And all the comedic movies with Leslie Nielsen have a title that starts with "Is there...?", and thus are considered part of the same franchise. Those include: Is there a cop to save the queen? Is there a cop to save the president? Is there a cop to save Hollywood? Etc.

Young women, you've just brightened my day. This is one of the most honest and funniest of the reactions I've seen to this classic movie. Thank you. Please keep doing what you're doing. You are really good at it!🤗

At the end of the closing credits, the old man is still sitting in the Taxi

The not so obvious joke that gets missed is when they are dragging the pilots and navigator down the aisle. Each time they do it, an announcement is made. People tend to just look forward and up when they hear that, so they don't notice what's going on around them.

I don't know why but I could have sworn you guys reacted to this one already. Very pleasantly surprised that I was wrong, haha!

Fun fact if no one told you ladies yet: All these actors were drama actors. The director knew comedians didn't have what it took to execute the script so deadpan and serious, so they cast the dramatic actors instead, to great success.

Cream? No thank you, I take it black.... 8:00 🤣🤣🤣

That horse in the woman's bed was her "stud". Loved you're reactions. 😀

There were so many spoofs that you might have missed not knowing American culture of the 70s. This was one slap stick gag after another. The messed up makeup lady was Mrs. Zucker, the directors' mom.

"Shouldn't we turn the search lights on?" followed up with my favorite line: "No. That's just what they'll be expecting us to do." Is one of my favorite moments in the film. So glad to see your reaction to that particular moment. Such a hilarious movie, and glad you two enjoyed it!

1. I guess I picked the wrong week to stop watching "first time reaction" Airplane clips. 2. This movie requires more than one watch in order to catch as much as possible. Little things to look for: Ted was in the Air Force but at the bar he's wearing a Navy Lt. Uniform. Elaine's trombone sounds like a cornet. One of the fish was a freshwater catfish. A woman throws a baby into the air when the plane crashes through the window. Captain Kramer steps out of a mirror before leaving for the airport. The woman with the horse in bed is the creepy Captain Oveur's wife. She is also hitting on to Captain Kramer. It's a jet but the background noise is of a prop plane. The ambulance crashes after the plane lands. 3. Otto/Auto pilot has his own webpage on IMDB 4. Elaine has permission to sit on MY face.😍😋 5. IMVHO Airplane II is good too, destination moon.

Thank you for the reaction, it was great. Look forward to watching more.

18:21 - lol, the best reaction to that part I've seen so far.

Thanks for the laughs. Love y'all's reactions ✌️

I didn't get the "all together" joke for years

Despite some of the pop culture jokes being out of date, most of the wordplay and slapstick is pretty timeless. It's obvious that it still holds up as one of the great comedies of all time. So fun to watch you enjoy yourselves to this comedy classic!

Airplane II is even more fun! I love both films, and really loved seeing you watch this. 🥰

FUN FACT: When the doctor slaps the frantic woman, she wasn't expecting the second slap. The look of surprise on her face is real. :)

Love ur reactions 😂❤

Thank You girls, that was a great, entertaining watch!!!! You 2 are a riot....

Good reaction and you really did well including the funniest moments.

It was nice to see you young ladies smile! I had to Subscribe after that...

"I take it black" "what?" "like my men" C-O-N-F-I-R-M-E-D LMFAOO

The opening sequence with the airplane in the clouds and the music is in reference to the movie Jaws. It was directed by Steven Spielberg about a shark hunting off the beach and eating the vacationers. The town had to find a solution. It's a pretty good movie that's somewhat scary.

You two get it. I’ve watched your reaction to blazing saddles and now this. Two of my faves. The humor is so dry and stupid, a lot of the jokes, pass people by without getting it. I applaud your sense of humor. One of my other faves is the movie ‘the jerk’. It also has the dry humor these do. Enjoy!

Love your reactions

IT'S A SPOOF!!! These are gags.......ahhh never mind.

If you want to watch a good, serious airplane disaster film, I recommend watching Airport. Airport was filmed in 1970, based on a best selling book, and the movie launched the disaster film era of the 1970’s. It’s a really good film that except for the clothing and interior decor styles, holds up really well. Of course, the technology and passenger service experience compared to flying today looks pretty dated, but it’s fun to look at what airline travel used to look like. And the special effects still hold up well; the explosive decompression in the film still looks realistic today. But it was fun watching you react to this movie!

The team of Zucker, Abrams and Zucker were known for making movies with humorous sight gags and one liners.

So many topical jokes in the movie where the meaning has been lost! The guy in the cab was Howard Jarvis, one of the authors of the so-called "Jarvis-Gann initiative." It was (and is) important tax reform legislation in California. Having him waste a lot of money sitting in a taxi with the meter running was some pretty good irony. Ethyl Merman was a well-known actress and singer. She was very recognizable at the time, and her appearance in the movie drew some pretty good laughs. The woman who complained about her husband "never gets a second cup at home" was featured in a popular ad campaign for some brand of instant coffee. The people who cast the movie didn't know about that connection, and her lines were added later. The mind's whisper style of delivery parodied her commercials perfectly. Security was different back then, and people were much more free to loiter around the airport.

80's slapstick comedy IS THE BEST!!! If you want more great slap stick....You should watch / react to the Naked Gun series... You'll recognize of of the actors from this movie staring in the Naked Gun's...

Whew! The people who ate fish likely survived. Glad that's settled. Great reax, ladies!

I have watched a lot of reactions to this movie, You two caught more of the jokes than anyone else awesome job!!!!!!! :)

The tribe that was introduced to basketball were actually members of the Harlem Globetrotters.

You girls are so cute! Love your reactions! This movie is a spoof on many current events of the time. (70's and 80's) The lady thinking about how her husband didnt have a second cup of coffee at home and the little girl who likes her coffe like her men... those were making fun of a certain coffee commercial at the time. The eggs in the ladies mouth was a spoof on the popular magician trend back then. "Jive talking" was a real thing just like the show suggests, predominately with the black community. The term "Jive Talking" eventually became slang meaning someone who is purposely speaking nonsense to pull the wool over your eyes... to deceive you somehow. Or someone who is just talking BS. The girl scouts fighting is a spoof on how aggressive those little girls were at selling their cookies door to door back then. Also, how competitive they were with each other since the scout who sold the most cookies got a prize. It lead to a lot of fighting among them. (Not physical fighting. Lol.) The Mayo Clinic is like a specialized hospital for major surgeries. So the actual "mayo" at the Mayo Clinic was a lame dad joke. When the guy said to pour light onto the runway... that dump truck was dumping lamps out onto the runway. Another lame dad joke. Lol. Anyway, i love your reactions. Much love from 🇺🇸!

He asked to buy a plane ticket. The salesman said: "Smoking or Non-Smoking". He replied: "Smoking", so she gave him a smoking ticket. Through the 1980s at least, plane seats were designated as "smoking" and "non-smoking". When you bought a ticket, you were asked which one you wanted. Those were the good old days for smokers. Now, smoking on flights has been prohibited for years.

12:45 These natives are the Globetrotters in real life. Funny joke.

Yes! This is a great one 😊

I did not know this was a comedy. Best line of the reaction.

The thing about this film is a lot of the gags are making fun of old films and commercials. The 'he never asks for another coffee at home" is a direct line from a commercial. The scene on the beach with the sea weed is a riff on the beach scene in an old film "From Here To Eternity". So a lot of the gags might be lost on younger folks.

Omg, this is one of the funniest movies. I haven't seen it in years. 😂

And now, for the rest of your life, you'll probably think of this movie when someone talks about having a drinking problem.

1:21 trivia about this movie, the red zone and white zone announcement people, those are the real people who do the announcements at LAX airport, it's a married couple. (it's recordings of their voice at the airport). lmao 🙂 I love this movie and you two are very beautiful 😍

Autopilot: [deflates] You: Oh, he's going down. Me: 3, 2, 1....

I think it might even be more humorous that they're not laughing but are instead pointing out illogicalities and such. I appreciate that they were good sports about it, even if they didn't like the jokes.

That.was hilarious. Great reaction. Little girl - i take it black, like my men You two - wait... what ??

One of the funniest movies ever. Thx guys love you

I like that joke with the mirror because the bird is looking at where the geezer is supposed to be but then the geezer walks out of the mirror, visual comedy of the highest calibre.

We should run a contest to see who names the most movies and commercials this movie is spoofing on. Then y’all have to watch the movie request of the winner.

9:31 My favorite part of this movie!

I have been watching this movie for 40 years, and I just realized a joke: when the people are lined up to slap the hysterical woman, the airline attendant draws the doctor away because he is wanted on the phone, but phones hadn’t been installed in airplanes for another year yet. At the time, this was an obvious joke.

The Klingon Empire Approves of your reaction.

It’s 1980 and the “win one for Zipper” is a play on words. Ronald Reagan was called “the gipper” because Reagan was called “the gipper” because he played a great athlete with died young names George Gipp.

Shirley l knew you two would appreciate and laugh out loud at this Top 20 movie 😎....ps sorry 🙏 for calling you Shirley 😂

In Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker movies you have to watch them more than once. There's always something going on in the backgrounds. Even the end credits are goofy. You have to watch all the way through.

Yes, we used to smoke on the planes.

Other movies by the same directors: Naked Gun, Top Secret!, Hot Shots!, Hot Shots Part Deux! Naked Gun is based on a short TV series by the same directors: Police Squad An Earlier movie by them is The Kentucky Fried Movie. Less polished, but still has some laughs.

used to be able to smoke on airplanes and in public buildigs

Don't forget the post credit scene with the guy in the taxi.

When the plane was taking off, they were acting like it’s a train instead of a plane. Notice how the guy down the ground was sitting there, saying “all aboard” just before everyone else got on the plane. Not much on Amtrak per se, but on smaller trains, like tourist trains, you can stick your head out the window and wave at people. And, of course, train conductors will say aboard.
