  • Oceanic Airlines is a fictional airline made famous when Oceanic flight 815 crashed into a mysterious island in the hit show Lost, yet Oceanic isn't unique to Lost, and is in fact the most popular fictional airline of all time.

    I grew up with a home phone number starting with 555. So when I saw this in movies, I assumed it was normal.

    • @allanrichardson1468
      @allanrichardson1468 Před 7 lety +11

      Time Pirate When direct dialing first came out, 555-1212 was designated as directory assistance for every area code, because few, if any, existing word-based exchanges (such as "BUtterfield 8") translated to the numbers 55, since 5 on US dials had the letters JKL, and few words or names in English begin with JJ, JK, JL, KJ, KK, KL, LJ, LK, or LL. So there were most likely few numbers in exchanges like LLama, LLoyd, or LLewellen. Maybe the place you grew up was one of those few.
      Later, when the AT&T monopoly in interstate long distance was broken up (in 1984), 555-4141 was set up to verify your default long distance carrier. And the entire 555-xxxx range in every area code was set aside for phone company internal and technical lines, which was many more than needed, so the rest became available for fictional numbers (since there's always some idiot who would try to call Ghostbusters in real life).

      Time Pirate same, my home telephone number also starts with 555. I think in the EU it has something to do with the region you live in, because the phone numbers of many of my friends who live near me also start with 555.

      @benjamintomassennordahl7911 Před 7 lety

      The greatest marketing champaign would be if someone where to start an Airline called Oceanic Airlines as they would have commercials through so many movies/series/comics.

    • @allanrichardson1468
      @allanrichardson1468 Před 7 lety

      Benjamin Tomassen Nordahl But they would also be indelibly associated with disasters! Might as well have as an advertising slogan, "We don't ALWAYS crash."
      Oceanic would be as bad a name for a real airline as Sal Monella's Diner.

    • @benjamintomassennordahl7911
      @benjamintomassennordahl7911 Před 7 lety

      yeah, but that's why it would be a good idea the slogan could be "We crash in movies so that we don't need to crash in real life." or something like that

  • @chrismoran2010

      In _Lost,_ Oceanic appears to be pretty much the only airline other than the fictional Ajira Air. There is a scene where Jack purchased plane tickets for his honeymoon, and he shows his wife the Oceanic tickets.

    This made me look up the flight in Final Destination to see if they used the same airline. They didn't. That was Volée Flight 180... which just mean Flight Flight and now I'm sad I actually looked that up.

    OMG! I just started rewatching lost! The irony

    • @ZioStalin
      @ZioStalin Před 7 lety +4

      ** Coincidence and irony not mutually exclusive. Quite the opposite.

    • @screengames5307
      @screengames5307 Před 7 lety +1

      I don't think you know what irony means... And you probably aren't even going to look it up..

    • @ZioStalin
      @ZioStalin Před 7 lety +1

      A quick search on google dictionary returned this:
      - a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often wryly amusing as a result.
      plural noun: ironies
      "the irony is that I thought he could help me"
      synonyms: paradox, paradoxical nature, incongruity, incongruousness, peculiarity
      "the irony of the situation hit her"
      Notice the quote, in which "irony" is used to express a form of backward sarcasm, or the unlikelihood of an outcome.
      In this sense, the original poster found ironic and maybe even hilarious that, the day he started watching the series, the peculiar event of one of his subscriptions pulling out a Lost themed video happened, as the event itself is coincidental and unlikely.
      In short, most unlikely and coincidental events can be ironic to a degree, for their own exceptional nature of paradox (paradox meaning what's beyond or contrary to common sense, and by extent what is unexpected to happen)

    Heres an idea. The last thing is about oceanic flight #1701 by a time traveling man. 1701 are the enterprises numbers from star trek. Now what if the time traveler was from the enterprise? There's has been cases of certain members traveling back to the 60s era on the show. so that would be a cool connection. Just a thought

    Similarly to North American phone numbers in 555, IP addresses in 169.254, as well as 172.16 through 172.31, 192.0.0 and 192.0.2 and 2001:db8 (IPv6) are reserved for documentation and guaranteed not to be attributed. It would be interesting to know whether films do "the right thing" and use one of these when they need an IP address to appear on a screen.
