The comedy Airplane! was released 30 years ago! Surely you can't be serious!

For this scene I liked the comment made in You Tube:

[Robert Stack]
“Next time on unsolved mysteries…KICKING ASS”

The OP is all over the place. He’s giving a timeframe, he’s quoting jokes, he’s quoting newspapers… what an asshole!

::grrr::

Damn you! That’s what I came here to post.

This is just about my favorite joke in the world.

heh…instruments…

That link got me to a clip of the guys talking jive, which led me to this clip of Barbara Billingsley discussing her role.

Looked her up on IMDb; still alive, will be 95 in December.

…and The Making of Jive Talk from Airplane!

We’re gonna have to come in pretty low to land this thread.

HE’S COMING RIGHT AT US!!! ::dives out of forum::

(Not to be Captain Bringdown or anything, but that gag, kind of like the Ghostbusters climbing the fire stairs and complaing about the weight of their gear, does come off a bit different these days.)

It’s a damn good thing you don’t know how much I hate your guts.

I’ll give this thread another twenty minutes; but that’s it!

‘It was around about that time that I developed a drinking problem’

Best sight-pun ever.

Some great Airplane! trivia here: Airplane! (1980) - Trivia - IMDb

I love this thread…It’s a big pretty white one with little curtains…and wheels…and looks like a big Tylenol!

This thread, now posting in Cafe Society.

Now posting in MPSIMS…Now posting in the Pit…in GD…in GQ.in the BarnyardinIMHO…

No thanks. We gave at the office.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to give up coming into threads late after all the good lines have been taken.

No, feet.

This is so weird, I was really bummed out yesterday so to cheer up I watched Airplane!. one of my favorite comedies.

Now i find out that it was released 30 years ago.

What a pisser.

Yes, yes, I remember, I had lasagna.

What’s our vector, Victor?
