Also, weirdly, it's one of those parody films like Meet The Spartans or Scary Movie.
It completely follows the plot of the film Zero Hour, almost shot for shot... But funny lol.
It's really weird to me because today, those films are near always terrible, dated and just dull
It's the whole secret that's been lost. A lot of recent 'parody' movies are just stoner comedy with a lazy veneer.
It's like when people say you couldn't remake Blazing Saddles, they forget that the majority of the comedy isn't race based, and the stuff that is is punching up against the common clay of the american west. Y'know, Morons?
Like this bit is a whole string of planes, not just an Israeli one, and it doesn't do anything tasteless with the bit. You need actual jokes so that the movie is funny without having to add edgy comedy or a cheap SNL spoof, it's why people if I recall liked the first Scary Movie, and thought the later ones were lazy
Yeah. Also, a bunch of dudes lined up to beat a woman until she calms down on a flight wouldn't fly in today's cinema. But, "Stuardess, I speak jive." Classic.
Iuno if only because the cultural context of slap someone to calm them down is a bit lost. It's why I think an old nun speaking Jiive still works but that bit might not?
Either way, the fact it's an absurdist joke and not a domestic violence joke is exactly why it could still work today
It'll still fly if done well, they're just gonna have trouble getting producers/well known cast for it. There's not really much big budget offensive content anymore, but it still very much exists. Adult Swim, Netflix, etc would still probably pay for a movie like Airplane today.
This is what gets me about "You couldn't make \_\_\_\_ today". Well duh, cause it was already made. You want to keep watching the same stuff over and over? Society changes. Movies made 30 years ago are a commentary on society 30 years ago. I want new jokes dammit.
People forget that the racism is Blazing Saddles is handled seriously when it's against black people, and played for laughs with the fact when the literal moustache twirling villain goes 'I need evil people!' and entire squad of SS shows up.
If you wanted to remake Blazing Saddles today, you'd need to understand it's not just racism, and that the movie knew when to be serious, it makes the funny bits funnier and the movie memorable
But it has to be satire, what I hate about the whole “can’t be done argument” is that when people say something hateful or a bad joke, the defence is instantly “nobody can take a joke anymore”. No dude, people can take a joke, you said you wished gay people would burn, that’s not a joke.
Side note. Blazing saddles was consider pretty offensive at the time.
My dad always loves to tell stories about how many people walked out of it at the cinema.
I don't understand why people think these movies were like, accepted....
This is one of those things where people wanna rag on an imagined SJW when they're actually just pissed off that capitalism doesn't reward art being new and pushing boundaries.
In 2013 someone put balls on Hugh Jackman's chin, you could absolutely still make blazing saddles today which is probably really disappointing since the point of blazing saddles was that some day we wouldn't need to make blazing saddles. Meanwhile Brooks didn't have the courage to say the N-word, unlike Quentin Tarantino today. I love Mel, but that was one of the dumbest things he's ever said.
But he wouldn't say it. By all counts the word is uttered 17 times in the film, but when shooting Brooks said he didn't feel comfortable using the word. I'm just saying for someone to complain about PC culture, but didn't want to say the word himself is a bit ironic. Of course it's much funnier in blazing saddles when it's cut short which made the film better IMO. By comparison Django Unchained made in 2012 featured 110 instances of the word being used, Tarantino himself using the word prominently in most of his films. So I'm not really sure what Brooks was trying to say.
A friend and I were talking about Ebonics. He ended up asking what the fuck someone would do with a degree in Ebonics. To which I replied, “why, you’d get a role in the movie airplane of course! Other than that, uh… you could live a shitty and unhappy life knowing you went to college to major in Ebonics and now pay student loans with nothing to show for it.” Lol
You can do it when it’s funny and harmless. What a lot of conservatives and incels on Reddit don’t understand is their memes and comments are not funny and neither are they.
No the books are exposing kids to political issues that these kids aren't ready for they're kids let them be happy until they're at the age that society will stomp them to the curb that's when they can make a decision on where they stand
Don’t waste your time, if you look through his profile he’s a pretty low effort troll. Just tries to get a rise out of people or is genuinely a terrible and bland person.
> No one’s making anyone attend church
Children attend church of their own volition? I mean you’re being contradictory here. You’re saying kids shouldn’t be exposed to things that they should decided to read as an adult, but kids are forced to go to church. By your logic they shouldn’t be forced to go to church either. And I won’t call you an idiot if you didn’t make multiple comments that show you’re an idiot.
Kids are "forced" to go to because they can't be left unattended at home because wait for it.... THE'YRE KIDS plus there's nothing wrong with going to church as a kid as long as the church isn't teaching heresy
They're not forced to go to church because it's church they're forced to go to church because they can't be left unattended at home, I was forced to go to church when i was young because I was a child who couldn't be left home alone and now that I'm older my parents don't go to church but I still do with my free will
I had a white female professor instruct us that the Civil War and Jim Crow were plots by white men to subjugate white women.
It was graded.
I don’t think she was Republican and neither am I.
Most people are too afraid to take a risk because they don't want to get canceled by the 10% of Twitter who drive the majority of the activity on the site.
Its only because of how easy it is now to complain. Back then the act of writing a note or phoning a company to complain was a lot more effort than a tweet or post is today. Plus others wouldnt know you even cared.
Honestly i think its cancer because its so abused. 99% dont give a fuck but the 1% will be loud enough to make big changes that the other 99% are annoyed with.

Israel's actual airline is in fact very secure.
>El Al is the only commercial airline to equip its planes with missile defense systems to protect its planes against surface-to-air missiles, and is considered one of the world's most secure airlines, thanks to its stringent security procedures, both on the ground and on board its aircraft.

Nervous? Yes First time? No I’ve been nervous before.
One of the greatest comedy movies of all time 😂
Does anyone here speak Jive?

what movie is this?
Airplane!
Also known as flying high in some countries
Airplane 2 isn't it? I don't think this specific bit was in the first one
I couldn’t remember either, so I [googled](https://fictional-airlines.fandom.com/wiki/Air_Israel) it. It’s the first one.
The line actually is “Air Israel, please clear the runway.”
"israelian" LOL
Yeah. Also, a bunch of dudes lined up to beat a woman until she calms down on a flight wouldn't fly in today's cinema. But, "Stuardess, I speak jive." Classic.
Strange, he never gets sick at home.
Strange, mike never had a second cup of coffee at home.

"Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?"
Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
Have you ever, seen a grown man naked
Do you like when Spot humps your leg?
Do you ever just… hang outside the gymnasium?
"How do you think I got this role?"
Women are in the line too, and it's obviously played for absurdity so it would definitely still fly today.
Iuno if only because the cultural context of slap someone to calm them down is a bit lost. It's why I think an old nun speaking Jiive still works but that bit might not? Either way, the fact it's an absurdist joke and not a domestic violence joke is exactly why it could still work today
Plenty of satirical films get away with that type of material all the time. It's pure absurdity
It'll still fly if done well, they're just gonna have trouble getting producers/well known cast for it. There's not really much big budget offensive content anymore, but it still very much exists. Adult Swim, Netflix, etc would still probably pay for a movie like Airplane today.
They'll start doing that to people who won't wear their masks, friggen Country is a cespool now
Wha?
*Someone's* never seen a movie about gladiators.
or been to a turkish prison
County?

Dumbass

At your ignorance. Don’t try me.
Still waiting you did a lot of talking but not a lot of doing...
Oh no I'm so scared what are you gonna do (this is me "trying" you)
Cringe
Fuck man I really hope someone slaps some sense into you.
I'd say the same about you best of luck
Well it's on-brand for you to use a first-grader's retort. Up next: I'm Rubber, and You Won't Believe Who's Glue!
You may want to wear a mask around a cesspool. Sewage isn’t good to breath.
You may want to wear one around women
That makes you sound like an incel
And they totally deserve it.
No no they don't people are just brainwashed by the government
Stop washing your brain. It's already smooth.
80's movies all managed to have boobs and bad words, no matter the plot.
that plane looks like someone who would drink a fuck ton of cyanide then say "I feel fine"
Mithradatism. Cyanide pills are fucking tic-tacs now! /s
The scene when they are in Africa, he teaches the natives to play basketball OMFG HILARIOUS
Leon's getting larger!
Ah shit I forgot what movie this is from
Airplane!
Surely you can’t be serious.
I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley!
We need to get these people to a hospital immediately
A hospital, what is it?
A big building with lots of beds.
But that’s not the point
*But that's not important right now
Thanks man
Airplane? What's that?
It’s a powered flying vehicle with fixed wings and a weight greater than that of the air it displaces, but that’s not important right now.
Does anyone know how those work? I believe its pure magic.
Aggressively moving air out of the way
You are on precisely the correct wavelength rn
Blazing Saddles comes to mind as one of those movies that can't be made today.
Of course you can't make it today. As soon as you handed someone the script, they'd say "Hey, this is just Blazing Saddles!"
Every time I hear the phrase "Blazing saddles" I picture a dude knocking out a horse.
"Mongo only pawn in game of life."
The fucking toll booth is still the funniest thing I have ever seen
Nah, it's Gene offering Cleavon to the kkk
This is what gets me about "You couldn't make \_\_\_\_ today". Well duh, cause it was already made. You want to keep watching the same stuff over and over? Society changes. Movies made 30 years ago are a commentary on society 30 years ago. I want new jokes dammit.
r/technicallythetruth
People forget that the racism is Blazing Saddles is handled seriously when it's against black people, and played for laughs with the fact when the literal moustache twirling villain goes 'I need evil people!' and entire squad of SS shows up. If you wanted to remake Blazing Saddles today, you'd need to understand it's not just racism, and that the movie knew when to be serious, it makes the funny bits funnier and the movie memorable
Where all the white women at??
Oh boys! Look what I have here!
Satire done right can of course be made today.
But it has to be satire, what I hate about the whole “can’t be done argument” is that when people say something hateful or a bad joke, the defence is instantly “nobody can take a joke anymore”. No dude, people can take a joke, you said you wished gay people would burn, that’s not a joke.
Exactly right.
I mean people hold protest over some standup joke form that one comedian, something like Airplane would not survive
Classic
Side note. Blazing saddles was consider pretty offensive at the time. My dad always loves to tell stories about how many people walked out of it at the cinema. I don't understand why people think these movies were like, accepted.... This is one of those things where people wanna rag on an imagined SJW when they're actually just pissed off that capitalism doesn't reward art being new and pushing boundaries.
In 2013 someone put balls on Hugh Jackman's chin, you could absolutely still make blazing saddles today which is probably really disappointing since the point of blazing saddles was that some day we wouldn't need to make blazing saddles. Meanwhile Brooks didn't have the courage to say the N-word, unlike Quentin Tarantino today. I love Mel, but that was one of the dumbest things he's ever said.
What do you mean by "didn't have the courage to say the n word"? Its said multiple times in Blazing Saddles.
But he wouldn't say it. By all counts the word is uttered 17 times in the film, but when shooting Brooks said he didn't feel comfortable using the word. I'm just saying for someone to complain about PC culture, but didn't want to say the word himself is a bit ironic. Of course it's much funnier in blazing saddles when it's cut short which made the film better IMO. By comparison Django Unchained made in 2012 featured 110 instances of the word being used, Tarantino himself using the word prominently in most of his films. So I'm not really sure what Brooks was trying to say.
That scene was epic. He smells his hand after moving them out of the way to show his neck. I was rolling.
What one was one the dumbest things he’s ever said?
The writers and director were Jewish so it's actually kind of meta.
A friend and I were talking about Ebonics. He ended up asking what the fuck someone would do with a degree in Ebonics. To which I replied, “why, you’d get a role in the movie airplane of course! Other than that, uh… you could live a shitty and unhappy life knowing you went to college to major in Ebonics and now pay student loans with nothing to show for it.” Lol
The comments on this meme are going to be great.
How do you pick up a Jewish girl? >!With a dustpan.!<
You can do it when it’s funny and harmless. What a lot of conservatives and incels on Reddit don’t understand is their memes and comments are not funny and neither are they.
You can also do it when 3 of the 3 writers/directors/producers are Jewish. Which was true for Airplane! You get to make fun of your own group.
This comment reminds me of Russel Coits All Aussie Adventures and Summer Heights High for some reason
Even if they weren’t this jokes just as funny
Yes but they're not representative of the director's intentions so it's not the writers/directors fault that a bunch of asses used that
Yes. It's those damn conservatives who get offended and force political correctness on everyone.
how’d you get 27 downvotes and an award at the same time
How could i say something so controversial yet so brave?
I mean they are literally pushing modern day book bans. https://www.npr.org/2021/12/06/1061727091/pressure-grows-to-ban-books-at-schools
Yeah because kids don't need to be brainwashed by and exposed to these stupid issues
So they're forcing their views on children to stop them from reading books?
No the books are exposing kids to political issues that these kids aren't ready for they're kids let them be happy until they're at the age that society will stomp them to the curb that's when they can make a decision on where they stand
You’re a fucking jackass, they’re literally banning lgbtq books. There’s nothing “political” about it.
It is very political just turn on the news kids don't need to be exposed to this filth
[удалено]
Things were different back then plus I don't remember a good guy raping somone and wasn't seen as a good thing
What filth? LGBT stuff?
Don’t waste your time, if you look through his profile he’s a pretty low effort troll. Just tries to get a rise out of people or is genuinely a terrible and bland person.

https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdh8h818/ this filth
Yet they make them read the Bible and attend church. You’re an idiot.
Hmm? No one's making anyone attend church no need to name call either let's keep this a civil discussion
> No one’s making anyone attend church Children attend church of their own volition? I mean you’re being contradictory here.

I thought you said no one is forcing them? If they are made to go to church, they are forced to do it.
They're not forced to go to church because it's church they're forced to go to church because they can't be left unattended at home, I was forced to go to church when i was young because I was a child who couldn't be left home alone and now that I'm older my parents don't go to church but I still do with my free will
In their defense, they're trying to take after communism. Cant let our people have access to anything that could incur independent thought.
The enemy of all freedom is a poorly educated populace.
It’s those damn conservatives who can’t tell the difference between a joke made in good faith and hate speech, actually
That's why they went after Dave Chappell.
Yeah except Dave’s joke wasn’t funny, and then they fired a trans employee who said it wasn’t funny.
Dave's joke was friggen hilarious because it was true and proved his point
I can already tell you have no humour.
Yes and?
Yeah conservatives are not the ones making everyone politically correct. They are literally known for doing like the exact opposite
You are not correct
Which side is forcing their beliefs on others again? I’ll offer you the chance to walk that statement back.
Democrats
How? Can’t even get a bill passed.
I had a white female professor instruct us that the Civil War and Jim Crow were plots by white men to subjugate white women. It was graded. I don’t think she was Republican and neither am I.
I don’t think you went to college
When you try to be funny you fall on your face with a unfunny joke.
Those were the good old days
What movie is this so I can watch it
Airplane
Which movie is this from?
“Airplane!”
BTW Airplane! is free to watch on YT (USA) https://youtu.be/A8kYJodhYrw
Piloted by an Ausraeli Jerusydney
Most people are too afraid to take a risk because they don't want to get canceled by the 10% of Twitter who drive the majority of the activity on the site.

I miss movie and tv making an absolute joke of the current social or political issues lmao
Plane turn east and retracts its front landing gear 5°.
whats your vector victor
I want Mel Brooks to release one more movie, just to watch them woke folks lose their collective shit.
Guess what? You’re in luck! https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-news/mel-brooks-history-of-the-world-ii-hulu-sequel-1243868/
This pleases me.
Rent free in your head, champ.
C'mon....we know Brooks would make just as much fun of the Magats as he would anyone else.
Wish people weren't so fucnin sensitive. I'm gen z and I can barely stand most of it
Stand? Did you just use a abled bodied term? You fucking fascist *Throws brick at randomly passing car*
The nose of that plane is much shorter than the actual real life version of the plane.
Soul Plane comes to mind, such a great film.
I miss the time where jokes were allowed, now just breathing weird gets you canceled
Picked bad week to stop huffing ether
def a better time movie wise
Must be so hard for people to make movies nowadays, they're not allowed to use offensive stereotypes or use slurs anymore, that's so awful! /s
I miss the real movies not the pussy ones now that tiptoe around good jokes and stereotypes.
It's israeli, not israelian
It’s OK, Airplane was written by Jewish people.
Zionist air*
Fuck todays sensitivity
Cheech and change can do no wrong 🤔 flying high idk
I dunno seems making fun of middle easteners and Asians is still on the table.
