AIRPLANE! (1980) TWIN BROTHERS FIRST TIME WATCHING MOVIE REACTION! 

I just wanted to tell you both: Good Luck, we're all counting on you.

The man waiting in the taxi is shown after the credits. "Well I'll give him another 20 minutes, but that's it."

When the boy asked the girl if she wanted cream for her coffee, and then you took a drink... I instantly feared for your life 🤣

The older actors in this were known for their very serious roles which makes their ridiculous characters acting very serious even more hilarious.

Chris choking at "like my men." Classic! Edit: You didn't watch the credits. At the end of the credits, the taxi is still there.

The problem with parodies is that they are really hard to do right. With a parody you don't deliver the joke the way you would in a normal movie. Parody has to be deadpan and serious in the delivery. That's why this movie is so great. Instead of using comedians that would have delivered the jokes the way a comedian would, they used serious dramatic actors who delivered their lines they way a serious actor does. That's why this works so well.

The Mayo Clinic is a medical center in the US that treats the most difficult medical cases and does a lot research. Hence all the mayonnaise bottles on the shelves 🤣

'This is so SMART!' Moments later: 'This is so STUPID!' Moments later: 'This is so SMART!' That's why I love Airplane!, right there. haha

The very end of the credits, the guy in the Taxi shows back up and says "I'll give him 5 more minutes!"

I love the beach scene where Ted provides all the details of his upcoming mission and when Elaine asks when he'll be coming back, Ted replies "I can't tell you, it's classified". Brilliant subtle humor!

The guy who "...picked the wrong week to quit..." is the father of mega star Jeff Bridges. I believe this was his first foray into comedy and he killed it.

I love how everybody plays it straight and only Johnny acts like he's in a comedy.

My dad showed me this movie on VHS when I was a little kid, and it has been one of my favorite movies ever since. This is in my opinion one of the greatest movies of all time, and I am always excited to see someone else discover it.

You two got so many more jokes than almost any other reaction to this; it made me so happy! It’s not about reality, it’s not about continuity, it’s about non-stop puns, jokes, plays on words, and pure ridiculousness. Such a masterpiece!

This is one of my favorite movies. Here's a fun fact: This movie was interred into the Library of Congress as one of the best films ever made.

Leave it to beaver's mom serving as translater was one of the funniest parts for me.

When the Doctor is giving Ted the pep talk about George Zipp -- this is a direct reference to the 1940s movie "Knute Rockne, All American" in which Ronald Reagan played a Notre Dame football player named George Gipp who in one scene is dying in a hospital bed. He tells his coach to tell the rest of the team to "win one for the Gipper," and the Doctor's speech is pretty much word-for-word from that scene. Also, the music playing when Striker gets up and says "I've got a plane to land" is the Notre Dame fight song.

The “Jim never drinks a second cup at home” coffee scene is a direct line from a Brim Coffee commercial that was popular at the time

Everybody misses the propeller noise the plane makes through out the movie, the airplane has jet engines. That's the genius of these movies.

Cannot believe you took a drink just as one of the best jokes was happening. Seen this countless times and for years, there were things that kept popping up I hadn't heard before.

Roger the pilot was wearing goggles and shorts cause that was his uniform when he played for the Lakers

The woman putting on make-up (all over her face) is the director's mother. She has a lot of cameos in their movies. She plays the secretary in Naked Gun, and a bank teller in Ghost, among others.

"No. That's just what they'll be expecting us to do" is the greatest line of the whole film. it cracks me up every time

Airplane! Is a shot-for-shot remake/spoof of the 1957 film, “Zero Hour!”. Right down to the “would you like a cup of coffee” scene (with slightly different dialogue!) It is uncanny that they took a serious movie and turned it into a hilarious shot-for-shot remake. Classic.

(10:51 Little girl picks up coffee cup) Me: Oh shit, Chris is drinking? Here comes the joke. Bwahahaha…. Is it bad a tiny part of me hoped for a spit take? :P

Robert Hays who played Ted Striker is actually a pilot in real life and is qualified to fly multi-engine aircraft..

“I take it black... Like my men!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 They just don’t make ‘em like this anymore! 👍

Airplane is a classic. My dad saw it in the theater when it came out and he said they almost kicked him out for laughing too much. 😆😆😆😆

No matter how many times I watch this I laugh. It’s so fun to watch people experience this comic masterpiece for the first time.

This movie is why we had a joke shortage in the early 80s. They used them all!

Lloyd Bridges kills me. He's so funny in this and HOT SHOTS.

The guy in the taxi is still there after the credits. In real life, he was tax resister Howard Jarvis who helped Proposition 13 pass in California. He was the author of the book "I'm Mad as Hell" from 1979. The Zucker Brothers probably hired him to do this cameo because they sympathized with his politics.

You need to watch "Top Secret!", it's the hidden masterpiece by the same directors/writers. Val Kilmer's first major movie role and he kills it.

“And stop calling me Shirley” OMFG! The best line to my taste. It’s so stupid that’s funny. I’m going through a terrible time that I really need you to keep your promise and take care of me. My mom died, my Guinea Pig died. Thank you for making me laugh. Love, Lu

The Mayo Clinic is a nonprofit American academic medical center hence the Mayonaise on the shelves;)

I'm 51 and I've been saying the Jive version 'shit' since i was about 15 after seeing this move. and the roger roger bit and don't call me Shirley and a dozen other classics from this movie. Its still funny as hell today

If you haven't seen any of the Naked Gun movies you should watch them, they're made by the same Zucker Brothers who made Airplane and starred Leslie Nielson (The Doctor in this)

After this masterpeice David and Jerry Zucker made "The Naked Gun" triology with Leslie Nielsen. Best movies ever. Ironically they are also responsible for Scary Movie 3 and 4 🤣. The last most recent comedy I enjoyed was actually 'Vacation'. It was funny.

Robert Stack owned one of my paintings he even sent me Polaroids of it in his house with notes written in the margins. Finally got to meet him at a celebrity event in Nashville TN he was a great guy to hang out with.

Airplane is a parody of a 1950s movie called Zero Hour and the 1970s series of airplane disaster movies. The first of that series was Airport. The 70s was full disaster movies: Earthquake, the Towering Inferno and Airport. Each had a plethora of major stars. Airplane does too: Lloyd Bridges (dramatic actor), Robert Stack (dramatic actor, hosted Unsolved Mysteries), Leslie Nielsen (comedic actor, later played in Naked Gun), Peter Graves (dramatic actor, was in the original Mission Impossible TV show) and Kareem Abdul Jabar (basketball legend).

The Mayo Clinic is a real thing. So they didn’t just make that up. So there’s even more to that joke than you thought.

The guy who commits Seppuku is James Hong , who is in a TON of stuff - including being Lo Pan in "Big Trouble In Little China". And Po's dad in "Kung Fu Panda" for younger folks.

Airplane is a parody of the air disaster film Zero Hour. It's nearly identical, but without the jokes.

11:01 - Oh man, I saw that coming as soon as you brought the cup to your lips! :D It was a BLAST watching you guys laugh your asses off on this one. I saw this as a kid in the theater and then I didn't see it for years, and I just assumed it probably hadn't aged that well, and was probably really silly. Boy, was I wrong! And every reaction video for this proves it, and your guys' reactions were as great as any to watch! Congratulations on being "initiated"! :D

I love how it’s a Jet plane but you can hear the hum of Propellers. Most people miss the final joke after the end credits. Airplaine! 2 is funny as well.

I knew that the "black, like my men" line was coming, and I also knew at the same moment that Chris had a mouth full of liquid, so I completely anticipated Chris's choking.

Joke that ran most of the movie... Propeller sounds on a jet aircraft.

I love how you were concerned about how the horse was going to partake in a glass of juice with his hooves.

“I just want to tell you both good luck. We’re all counting on you.” What I love is, each time he says it, it kind of has an alternate meaning. At first it’s just saying everyone is counting on Ted to land the plane, but later it can also be wishing them good luck as a couple.

4:01 -- those were two of the writers and directors of the movie. 10:58 -- you never drink during THAT joke. I've seen this movie at least ten times, and I still don't drink during that joke. 15:33 -- Kareem had a game that night, so he thought it would be funny if he appeared in his gear, and the directors dug the idea.

You wouldn't be able to write a script like the '70s and '80s used to have, because today's scripts are written meticulously for the purpose of _not_ offending people.

I first saw this movie in a theater with my parents when I was 13. To this day, I've still never seen either of them laugh harder. When the shit literally hit the fan, my Mom was a broken woman. She laughed for like ten minutes over that one sight gag.

I'd highly recommend you watch The Naked Gun for more Leslie Nielsen goodness

“Just Hang loose blood. She gonna catch you on the rebound with the medicide”

The genius of this film is that everyone (except Johnny) is playing it extremely seriously.

I stuck around just in case, unlike most people, you actually watched the credits and caught the 'Well, I'll give him another 20 minutes, but that's it' from the taxi guy at the end.

These jokes are so left field, I love this movie! Fun little airplane fact, they actually have a rule on airlines (not sure when it was implemented) that the cabin crew can't have the same meal in case of this exact scenario.

I always liked that the plane has a manual gearshift lever.

I love the genuine concern for how the horse will pour himself a glass of orange juice. 😂

I've seen this movie at least 50 times and just caught a joke that never registered before. When they're all lining up to beat the hysterical woman someone says "you're wanted on the phone." LOL . . . this was long before cell phones. As if you could get to a landline on an airplane.

It's actually really nice no one reacting to this movie gets that Johnny is a gay parody; we've come far enough that the stereotypes don't even read for audiences anymore, he's just weird.

Love it when rex kramer is getting ready, in what we think is a mirror and then he steps through it

Kareem Abdul Jabar is wearing goggles because that is what he used to wear when he played in the NBA.

“Surely you can’t be serious,” “I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley,”

13:33 --- The actress who played "Randi" really did sing "The River of Jordan".. That's her voice.

I was genuinely surprised that neither of you caught the not-so-subtle "hung like a horse" joke...

I grew up with this movie and still crack jokes in homage to AIRPLANE. When my friends and I were just in our teens We did Super 8 skits in homage to this movie...one time we had set up a pool side cafe where two people are having a conversation as kids were playing basketball behind them and overthrew their shots. The guys at the table gave their drink order (one asked for coffee and one said he'll 'just have tea') and carried on their conversation when a basketball came into frame, bounced hard on their table and off between them---without flinching or stopping their talk, then their order came...coffee and a styrofoam letter'T'. That was in 1981...I still have that foam T. :)

Great reaction guys 😂😂 I saw this when it was first released in 1980 when I was 7. I’ll never forget people laughing so hard they were falling out of their seats.

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

You guys missed the magazine rack joke; above the girlie magazines there's a sign that says "whack off material". Also, the Mayo clinic is a real place.

Check out Top Secret!!! It’s the next movie from the writer/directors and has Val Kilmer in his movie debut.😂👍🔥

Taxi patron was Howard Jarvis, who had become famous in 1978 in California for devising Proposition 13, a ballot initiative to peg property taxes at 1%. After the movie credits roll, he's still waiting in the cab.

funniest movie ever made, more jokes per minute than any other film. TWO jokes missed by most people, 1 all the places Striker says in his stories are names of alcoholic drinks and the exterior plane shots have a prop engine sound

Do "Top Secret!" and "Hot Shots." They're both really similar to this movie as far as the humor goes. The first one is a parody of WWII/Spy movies and the second a parody of "Top Gun." I think the more recent movies that tried to do this kind of humor ended up fucking up the writing because many of the jokes stopped being jokes and became references to something else and that was it. Instead of some clever wordplay or setup, it's just "Oh, look at Jack Sparrow pop up for no reason because when this movie was made his movies were really popular" and crap like that. The genius of "Airplane!" is not only the writing, but the fact that they deliberately mostly hired actors who weren't comedians and told them to play the movie completely straight, which only added to the absurdity. I remember being a kid and watching this for the first time and being really surprised at the pilot who does the Ham On Rye Hold The Mayo joke and the inappropriate creepy questions to the kid during the flight, because previous to this I knew him as the hero for the original "Mission: Impossible" TV show.

I love the "what do you make of this?" bit and always sneak it in when I get the chance at work :)

At 15:35 the black pilot is the Lakers star *Kareem Abdul-Jabbar* , the top scorer of the NBA. The yellow pants are the Lakers shorts, and he often wore goggles while playing professional basketball.

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

Leslie Nielsen's first comedic role. The world will miss him.

having seen this movie like a 100 times, seeing you drink before the "like my man" line, i thought we would get an actual spit take, but a choke take is just as good

"He's fired" Nope, those two were the directors making a cameo.

Ohhh Man, I laughed my ass off watching you trying to drink, right when one of the best lines in the movie is coming; "Cream?" "No thank you, I take it black; like my men." Aww wow saw it coming the whole time, going; NOOOOOO don't drink NOW!!! This movie has so many gags, that you can watch it a 100 times and still catch jokes you missed before. You didn't have the scene in your reaction, but the old lady who translates the jive talk for the stewardess is Barbara Billingsly, who is most famous for playing June Cleaver on the classic tv show Leave it to Beaver. She was the gold standard for suburban mom's back in the day. So her knowing how to speak jive with the brothers, is like the Dave Chappelle show sketch with Wayne Brady. Which if you haven't seen that and or don't know who Wayne Brady is I highly recommend checking out the sketch after you know who he is!!! A few more parodies to add to the list, Airplane 2, which while not as good as the first is still hilarious. The Top Gun parody, Hot Shots and it's sequel Hot Shots Part Deux which parodies Rambo's 2&3. Balls of Fury is a parody of Bruce Lee's iconic Enter the Dragon. Kung Fu Hustle, Shaolin Soccer and Kung Pow: Enter the Fist are hilarious Kung Fu parodies I know you'll love. Also while not a true parody, Army of Darkness is so much different from the other Evil Dead movies it might as well be a parody! And Lastly Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are amazing.

You have to watch this movie several times. Every time you'll see something new. And I just want to tell you both, good luck. We're all counting on ya.

They made a TV series with this kind of humor starring Leslie Nielson called "Police Squad". It was canceled after a few episodes for being too funny. ABC (I think was the network) said that people wouldn't like it.

LOL on Llyod Bridges "Look like I picked the wrong week to (insert here)

Just for context, there really is a healthcare facility called The Mayo Clinic... We even have one in the UK You should check out the likes of Airplane 2, the Naked Gun Trilogy, and Top Secret... all brilliant films with the same kind of humour found here.

"How's he going to pour himself a glass of juice?". That never occurred to me. So she's cheating with a horse and taunting the horse with what he can't get.

Every joke is treated as low hanging fruit and served as 5-star caviar,

Aeroplane is movie that humour-wise represents everything as a society we have lost.

This movie is a comedy remake of the 1950s movie Zero Hour. The writer/directors bought the rights to that movie, because they recreated it scene by scene, often using dialog from the original. They just looked at every moment and asked how could they make it absurd.

Almost forgot to mention there is a world renowned hospital in my home state of Minnesota called the Mayo Clinic, so the joke works on several levels, as does just about every joke in this movie. As for the guy in the taxi, there is an end credit scene where he looks at his watch and says , "I'll give him 20 more minutes, but that's it"

I'm glad you can still enjoy 90% of this film. There were some cultural references that enhanced the movie to many viewers when it came out in 1980. First the taxi passenger was a cameo by Howard Jarvis, a wealthy California leading proponent of Proposition 13, which had set a hard limit on property taxes. So there he was, known for his stinginess, sitting with the taxi meter running. And many adults would recognize the plane's captain, Peter Graves, as the friendly adult figure on two Saturday morning live action series, _Fury_ (horses) and _Sky King_ (small plane pilot). So to see this wholesome man asking the boy about seeing a grown man naked, or whether he likes gladiator movies, added a lot to the humor. Of course today, they could never get away with jokes like that on even a PG-13 movie. The last I'll mention is Barbara Billingsley, the white wholesome mother on _Leave It to Beaver_ is the lady who talked jive with the black guys.

Go back and check out the post credits scene, worth it I promise.

This movie is deep in the topical knowledge of the time. It is even funnier when you have the experience of having lived at the time. There's so much going on that many of us went to see it multiple times to catch all of the references. If you haven't done it yet, go straight to the 'Naked Gun' trilogy.

"Autopilot" is not designed for landings, but for level normal flight.

Leslie Nielsen at the time was a serious actor. He was chosen for his ability to deliver lines in a serious manner, which was the essence of the role. Before this movie he had small roles with no jokes, like this one in the series Kung Fu: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jLZErZkvr-M.html After this movie, his style of comedy became his signature and that's when he went to star the Naked Gun movies.

You guys should put "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" on your list. Another great Leslie Nielson gem.

The Mayo Clinic is a real, renowned, state of the art medical clinic. The first joke was that there would be mayonnaise everywhere. And it also set up hamm on 5, hold the mayo.

I loved this movie! I was in high school when it came out. It is filled with a lot of parodies on popular tv commercials that were big back then and movies that made it even more hilarious! 😂😂😂😂😂

Just like no action movie will ever surpass the brilliance of Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Airplane will forever be the greatest and funniest comedy ever made!

After the credits, it shows the guy still sat in the taxi :) The Naked Gun trilogy is the exact same humor, same makers.
