A classic moment in film history (imgur.com)

Elaine Dickinson: You got a letter from headquarters this morning.
Ted Striker: What is it?
Elaine Dickinson: It's a big building where generals meet, but that's not important.
[–]the2ndact 181 points182 points183 points 9 months ago
The "What is it?" joke is probably my favorite in all of the history of things.
[–]Mithryn 51 points52 points53 points 9 months ago
Few movies have pulled this joke off as well, or as many times as Airplane did.
[–]feureau 119 points120 points121 points 9 months ago
Any move involving Leslie Nielsen is a fine movie by me.
Agent Steve Bishop: Sir, we have intercepted a disturbing video on the rock of Gibraltar.
The Director: Well, what is it?
Agent Steve Bishop: It's this really big rock sticking out of the water on the south coast of Spain.
Even if it's a little bit forced.
Anyway, this joke format is also great:
Lt. Frank Drebin: That's the red-light district. I wonder why Savage is hanging around down there.
Captain Ed Hocken: Sex, Frank?
Lt. Frank Drebin: Uh, no, not right now, Ed.

I think my sense of humor was taught to me, in part, by Leslie Nielsen. The rest is my dad, who kinda reminds me of Leslie Nielsen... I was doomed from the start..

It's pronounced friggen "ee-layn", Eileen is pronounced "I-leen". I'm hyper aware of this after years of my name being mis-pronounced. I wish people would read past the first letter.
[–]TheJollyRancherStory 9 points10 points11 points 9 months ago
Incidentally, in Ireland Eileen can either be pronounced "I-leen" or "Aye-leen".
I don't know why I felt the need to post that. I guess I'm just a miserly old pedant at heart.

I don't care, I laughed at that video way too much; as if I haven't seen the movie a ba-jillion times.

That's my favourite moment in the whole movie. No-one else finds it quite as amusing as I do, but I'm OK with that.
[–]daybreaker 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago
Yeah, I love the whole movie, but I think I love that line just a tiny bit more than all the others.
[–]Marmaladez 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
I think I find it just as amusing. I'll run up to a family member or a friend every once in a while and say "AND LEON'S GETTING LAAAAARGER". Now I just need a friend named Leon...

I was serving on a Destroyer which had a helicopter deck and a control tower. I was working with a colleague on some maintenance audit when I said "We can't check this from here - we need to check the panel in the tower." Jokingly he said "Quick Robin! To the tower!" and ran out the door. I yelled "To the tower! To the tower! Rapunzel!"
He laughed so hard he actually tripped over a doorframe and had to go to medical.
[–]minzeb45 10 points11 points12 points 9 months ago
Johnny, to a crying woman whose husband's life is in danger: "Where did you get that dress, it's awwwful, and those shoes and that coat, geeeeez", as he walks away in disgust.
I just re-watched it the other day, and this line was my biggest laugh.
[–]swested 8 points9 points10 points 9 months ago

Recently watched the 30th anniversary special about the making of Airplane. In it Peter Graves talked about how he was mostly a serious dramatic actor and wasn't sure about how this crazy film would go down or even if it was funny. At the film premier he was a little nervous but when it got to this line his wife started laughing uproariously and he knew that he was dealing with genius, or something to that effect.
E: Actually, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure it was one of the producers who told this story - that he heard Mrs. Graves laughing her ass off in the aisle behind him when this line came up and how he felt instant relief.
[–]swested 10 points11 points12 points 9 months ago
Most of the actors in it were, up until that point, dramatic actors.
It was a brilliant choice. The film just wouldn't have been the same with, say, Chevy Chase and Rodney Dangerfield.
[–]rjc34 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
Exactly. They so nailed the deadpan delivery that it just sealed it as a classic.
[–]alexthehoopy 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago
I think this might have been on the DVD special features, but he tells a story about how he was in a supermarket, a kid recognized him in line, and he leaned down and said, "Son, do you like movies about gladiators?"

Lots of subtle stuff in there, like the door to the police lab. As the camera pans to follow the action, one guy opens the door and enters, and the other just walks around the wall that's an obvious cut-away stage set. Never noticed it the first few times it happened.

Det. Frank Drebin: Wait a minute, let me get this straight: Twice came in and shot the teller and Jim Fell.
Sally Decker: No, he only shot the teller, Jim Johnson. Fell is ill.
Det. Frank Drebin: Okay, then after he shot the teller, you shot Twice.
Sally Decker: No, I only shot once.
Capt. Ed Hocken: Twice is the hold up man.
Sally Decker: Then I guess I did shoot Twice.
Det. Frank Drebin: Oh, so now you're changing your story.
Sally Decker: No, I shot Twice after Jim fell.
Det. Frank Drebin: You shot twice and Jim Fell?
Sally Decker: No, Jim fell first and then I shot Twice once.
Det. Frank Drebin: Well, who fired twice?
Sally Decker: Once!
Capt. Ed Hocken: He's the owner of the tire company, Frank.
Det. Frank Drebin: [pauses] Okay. Once is the owner of the tire company and he fired Twice. Then Twice shot the teller once.
Sally Decker: Twice.
Det. Frank Drebin: ...and Jim fell and then you fired Twice.
Det. Frank Drebin: Okay. All right, that will be all for now, Ms. Decker.
Capt. Ed Hocken: We'll need you to make a formal statement down at the station.
Sally Decker: Oh, of course!
Det. Frank Drebin: You've been very helpful. We think we know how he did it.
Sally Decker: Oh, Howie couldn't have done it. He hasn't been in for weeks.
Det. Frank Drebin: Well.

Det. Frank Drebin: Weeks?

Out of curiosity, how old are people your age? I'm only 23 and Airplane! came out before I was born, but I don't tend to think of it as "an old film." When somebody says that I think of movies like Casablanca or 12 Angry Men.

[–]WendyLRogers3 8 points9 points10 points 9 months ago
The Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker team were superb for rapid paced comedy. Among their other hits (together or alone) are: The Kentucky Fried Movie, The Naked Gun (and Police Squad!), Top Secret!, Hot Shots!, Ruthless People, and Rat Race.
There are other, non ZAZ comedies of a similar pace, that both inspired ZAZ, and that they in turn inspired. For example, pre-ZAZ were Shlock (John Landis), Every Thing You Always Wanted to Know About Sex - But Were Afraid to Ask, The Groove Tube, Tunnel Vision, American Raspberry, etc.
Probably the best movies after ZAZ is Amazon Women on the Moon and UHF (Weird Al).
Airplane! was actually based on a serious drama called Zero Hour!.
[–]CountNoAccount 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
The Zuckers bought the rights to Zero Hour and plundered it for its script, adding gags all the way. Watching the original film is hilarious now because it feels like a remake of Airplane! that is actually tryin to play it straight. Zero Hour was a bad movie. Bad, bad.

The movie is timeless. I love using jokes of this format and:

I also like saying "and don't call me shirley" completely out of context (aka without anyone saying surely). Double referencing the office and airplane.
[–]oldsillybear 15 points16 points17 points 9 months ago
I have always loved this movie, and it was very important to me as well.
(story time, feel free to skip this)
1983, winter time, I had just graduated high school and was at a party with a bunch of fellow students. It wasn't the most exciting party ever, especially if you didn't want to just drink heavily (drinking age was 18, btw). I was talking to a girl and the subject of Airplane! somehow came up, and I mentioned that I had it on VHS at my house. She asked me to go get it, I did, and a bunch of us watched it together.
I married that girl.
(not a happy ending, though, 28 years later and we are separated and it looks like divorce). I've since developed a drinking problem. throws drink on own face
[–]mediEvil 4 points5 points6 points 9 months ago
I still laugh my ass off every time he throws his drink on his face.
[–]gschizas 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago

obligatory from AIRPLANE II
-Striker was the squadron leader. He brought us in real low. But he couldn't handle it.
-Buddy couldn't handle it? Was Buddy one of your crew?
-Right. Buddy was the bombardier. But it was Striker who couldn't handle it, and he went to pieces.
-Andy went to pieces?
-No. Andy was the navigator. He was all right. Buddy went to pieces. It was awful how he came unglued.
-Howie came unglued?
-Oh, no. Howie was a rock, the best tail gunner in the outfit. Buddy came unglued.
-And he bailed out?
-No. Andy hung tough. Buddy bailed out. How he survived, it was a miracle.
-Then Howie survived?
-No, 'fraid not. We lost Howie the next day.

If you like Airplane! try to find "The Kentucky Fried Movie" (70s) and "Amazon Women on the Moon" (90s) - both very under appreciated gag/black/dark/deadpan/irreverent comedy gold
[–]carsontl 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago
Kentucky fried movie is one of my favorites of all time.

Airplane has more good one-liners than all other movies combined.

It was a rough place - the seediest dive on the wharf. Populated with every reject and cutthroat from Bombay to Calcutta. It's worse than Detroit.

The best part of this film was the River of Jordan song.

Excuse me sir, there's been a little problem in the cockpit…
[–]OutInTheBlack 4 points5 points6 points 9 months ago
What is it?
[–]ElderCunningham 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago
It's the room up front where the pilots sit and fly the plane, but that's not important now
[–]r0nnybums 2 points3 points4 points 9 months ago
Judging from the comments, you could have picked just about any 3 second dialog from the film.
EDIT: Oh alright then...

Oh, my God! The automatic pilot, it's deflating!
On the belt line of the automatic pilot, there's a hollow tube. Pull it out and blow on it.

"I'm famous you know,.. i was in Airplane 2"
[–]mowest 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
I have a theory that Airplane actually changed people's speech patterns. After it came out I noticed people almost choking to avoid saying the word "Surely/Shirley" and asking "What is it?"
The subtle ones made me laugh harder. e.g.:
"Put on the seatbelts"
"Putana da seatbelts"
Almost missed it the first time 'round. Pure gold.
[–]godisbacon 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago
"Please sit down"
"Gobacka sidonna"

David Zucker and I took a flight together to research a project. We were making airplane jokes the whole way. He still laughs at every one of those lines.

Alright, so Ive been wanting to share this story for a while now and finally my opportunity arrives. When I was 16 I had the opportunity to visit some family members in Rome. My aunt and I were eating at a restaurant off the Spanish steps called Alla Rampa. There was some commotion on the patio when I turned my head and who did I see, OJ Simpson. This was post trial so he was pretty infamous and everyone knew he was somebody even if they didnt know who he was. Anyway, fastforward a couple years and I am sitting layover at Ft. Lauderdale Airport I see a man in a black suit, black glasses and silver hair. He automatically looks familiar. It then dawns on me that this is Leslie f*ckin Nealson! I lose sight of him after a few moments. Time to board so I get to the back of the line hoping I make the flight. I do and start to board the airplane. First thing I see is Leslie sitting in first class. As I walked by I nod and he nods back. He passed away some years after that. I will never forgive myself for not getting his autograph and having him write something along the lines of, "Best wishes from Leslie to Chris...and dont call me Shirley." So basically the only times I have ever travelled outside of the continental US I have my first celebrity sighting, OJ and Leslie. Leslie on an airplane, OJ in a restaurant and they happened to be partners in the naked gun movies. WTF?

watch the Jive scene. when the movie came out i remember very well thinking how hard it was to understand what they were saying, it was almost like another language. Now when i watch that scene it is simple to understand.

Take any 15-50 second block in that movie and you have a classic moment in film history (Ted's drinking problem probably being my favourite).

Honestly, this movie has ruined a lot of comedy for me. Every time I go see a funny movie, even if it's reasonably funny, in the back of my mind I still go, "It's no Airplane!..."
Favorite comedy movie of all time. Of. All. Time. I'm still finding little jokes that I've missed the first few dozen times through.
