Humour tends to date in a lot of comedies, but this was much funnier than I was expecting it to be. Quite surreal too, which I also wouldn't have expected.
t's an illogical comedy that I usually don't like, but I'll tell you what happened. I liked the movie. There are a lot of shots that make you laugh and say, "Oh my God, what is this madness?" But it makes me laugh. The autopilot shots were amusing, the eggs coming out of the lady's mouth, the pilots getting poisoned, and the pilot cleaning the plane before takeoff. It was fun and interesting.

An even funnier movie if you're in aviation yourself

The humour has barely, if not, aged at all.Kenneth McMahon

I wouldn't be surprised if you were talking about Alligator instead of Airplane!, Zeltaebar.GodPepper
Best comedy I have seen.everyonewantstolaugh
I've heard a lot about this movie being dated and not funny anymore but I really don't agree. I just saw it today and thought it was hilarious.Siskoid
Airplane!'s place in movie history is undeniable even if the genre it lampoons, the air disaster movie, feels oddly archaic, and I thought I had I soured on it long ago after a friend of mine made the "Don't call me Shirley" joke once too many times. Watching it again (with the risqué parts included - THAT wasn't on TV! - and here I thought Scary Movie's vulgarity was its own innovation), I can't say I get EVERY reference, as I'm relatively weak on popular 70s movies), but it wins by having a PLOT. Or close enough... a lot of subplots don't really have a pay-off. That's where the spoof comedies of this era beat out the "____ Movie " of the '00s. The joke per square inch is lower, but there's more story. And the Zucker/Abrahams team knows it's introducing a new style, because it starts pretty normal and the jokes get more and more rapid-fire until they're wall-to-wall by the last reel. Sure, I could do without the racially-motivated gags and Captain Oveur's weird pedo sequence, but the deadpan quartet of Graves, Nielsen (who make a career's last act of this), Bridges and Stack is a highlight, and I mostly smiled and smirked through the picture.ahmetaslan27
