Come back for new videos most Wednesdays.
I grew up with a home phone number starting with 555. So when I saw this in movies, I assumed it was normal.
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).
I live in Norway.
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.
Norsk unge
Time Pirate i thought all americans had number startin with 555
Oceanic airlines...
We crash at least 2 times a week...
Good one mate lol
Oceanic airlines
Perfect Safety Record
(All legal documentation saying crashes every 2 weeks has been destroyed.)
How is oceanic airlines not shut down yet
If oceanic airlines was real it would not fly anymore
oceanic air - the most unfortunate airline company in the fictional universe. you think after a couple aircrashes, people would stop buying tickets but nah
Finn Murtons fanboys, nuff said
Finn Murtons because its cheap
to be fair, United is still around
besucse they give out top notch serves, also maylisa airlines is still strong with 2 in the past few years
Finn Murtons Reminds me of the fireflash (If you don’t get that reference you have no childhood)
Holy shit, finally I'm not seeing one of your videos 2 years late.
+ilpazzo12 awesome
wait could this be true
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.
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.
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
Imagine Ocienanic Airlines was a real airline.
Still rather fly with them than United Airlines
Well, Guess who is next to their main hub??? me.
I wonder if Oceanic ever has a normal flight. If they don't, I can't imagine what their safety rating is..
Blasty BBS 3/10... for not breaking apart on take off
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.
Your work is top notch, you deserve more views :)
+Skander Helali thanks!
It really is YOU GUY ARE THE MOST MORE BETTEREST BESTER!!!! (Grammar much)
Skander Helali I love moth (the creator of minecraf)
Also, how did you research all this? Where do you look up which fake airline is being advertised on a taxi in a random daredevil comic? Did you simply consume all media known to man just to be thorough?!
rand0m508
I just realized weird that is.
Boring, yet likely. Still a lot of work though.
Now I almost want to actually open an airline called Oceanic Airlines and get a kickstart off all the publicity.
I had a great idea for an airline and now I know what to call it! Wait, dammit, it's COVID and airlines are all going to hell in a hand basket.
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.
+EnigmaHarper haha a great name
if you ever find yourself looking out at your plane and it is oceanic walk the other way buddy
"Greatest ad campaign of all time." I beg to differ; I would definitely not fly Oceanic. Their planes seem to crash an unusually large amount of the time.
The fictional Nickelodeon brand Pear: PearBook Air, PearPhone, PearPad.
Now, every time I draw a scene of an airplane I’m careful to hint that the airplane belongs to oceanic
OMG! I just started rewatching lost! The irony
** Coincidence and irony not mutually exclusive. Quite the opposite.
I don't think you know what irony means... And you probably aren't even going to look it up..
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)
This channel is so much underrated
I read this comment in a heavy foreign accent.
New vid hype, love your content...cant wait for you to get 1m subs....whats taking so long -_-
+Airshot good question!
jerking off to porn distracts too much :D
4:44 it was in CHUCK!!!
how'd I miss this?
I've rewatched Chuck a billion trillion thousand times!
Whenever the Mythbusters show did an airline related experiment, they used the name Mythbustair. And for boat related tests they named the boat Mythtanic (with a Roman numeral).
2:23 that half dab tho
Meektitan 79 Everytike your put your face in your arm doesn't equal a dab.
These things happen...
Holy crap, people are finally discovering this channel! Keep up the top notch work Dylan, I think it's about to pay off for you!
+TheMistyBlueLounge it's very exciting :)
1:40 "The show wasn't planned out enough." That's an understatement...
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
I have seen all of these shows and not once did I think about the airline.
Amazing video! So well made! I'm glad I subscribed to your channel.
Your research is amazing. Great job dude
Just discovered your channel today, it's so professional, rythme, script, images. Well done sure, definitely subscribing.
Amusing and the thread is discernible all the through. Good work.
So I'm not the only one who thinks that every movie that have a plane crash scene always use "Oceanic Airlines"
Something I never thought I would've wanted to know but now know it anyway, I'll be on the lookout for Oceanic airlines from now on if anything even mentions a plane.
in the movie based on the Stephen King novel "The Langoliers," the airline was American Pride.
That one time I created a virtual airline and thought I had made an original airline by naming it Oceanic... Whoops
555 numbers are actually reserved for the specific use of film and entertainment
What will you think if you see a movie in which an aircraft nearly crashed but the pilot managed to save everyone, will you be more inclined to fly on the airline?
I'm very confused as to what is going on right now.
love your videos so much, keep it up!
Great video Dylan! You earned the sub!
Hank Schrader flying for Oceanic Airlines, it's all coming together now!
Please do a video about professional sports leagues (Baseball, Football, etc) during World War 2.
Oceanic Airlines > United Airlines
I rather die in a plane crash than getting beaten off a plane and the airline taking my money.
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.
Awesome new video Dylan love watching these so keep making them please :D
Nice to see that you are back!
+Nico S. Thanks Nico
You assume that LOST is fiction, and not an inspired narrative about the very real island and people that exist in a timeline not that different than ours. . . It isn't marketing, it's the universe.
Really well done videos! I have subscribed and I'm looking forward to the next one
Top notch is indeed the term and this was the best of yours I’ve seen yet.
It would be funny to have the plane stewards playing a movie with a plane crash in it whilst the passengers have to watch
Pan Oceanic 1701 - no doubt built at the Utopia Planitia shipyards. 8)
I got a Honeywell Aviation ad before this
Love the channel. Keep em coming!
man oceanic airlines probably doesn't understand how they still haven't gone bankrupt.
amazing content!! we cant wait till u blow up dude
does this mean all of these shows/games/comics take place in the same universe
I thought he had 1mil subs... HE DESERVES MORE VIEWS AND SUBSCRIBERS!!! Your quality is top notch m8
If a plane crashes, I'm not as concerned about the airline as the plane model
THIS TYPE OF WORK IS ENTERTAINING, INFORMATIVE, AND DESERVES MORE EXPOSURE.
START BANGING ON ADVERTISERS DOORS!!!
Great research!
Not sure if I saw any clips from Die Hard.......
People still watch this show I'm so happy
wouldn't say rough as its mostly insensitive although true...sadly it's true
Oceanic must be quite the popular and successful airline in whatever strange continuity all these films and TV series exist in. XD
Oh shit, Chuck and White Collar had Oceanic in them? :P
Lifeboat airlines: Am I a joke to you?
3:03 747 with its flaps and slats out in cruise
Couldn’t you just take any footage of any plan flying and CGI it beyond recognition of the original airline....That way you could create any airline brand you wanted and still protect the real airline companies name.
how about the time the American army tried to stop a war by getting the enemy super high
What! Not back to the future!
Hold on. Transformers cybertron? That's awesome!
I am never taking Oceanic
Someone should startup a real Oceanic Airlines and charge absolute rock bottom prices. If a crash occurs, they can say to the victims/families "Thoughts and prayers, but they CHOSE Oceanic Airlines."
4:45 check it's old Chuck
I think there is a conspiracy as all Oceanic flights seem to crash. Must be an insurance job.
Talk about... some weird geography stuff..? Natural phenomena of the earth perhaps?
Holy sheeeet I didn't know oceanic was in dead island
For a minute I thought it was a real airline because I don't watch movies much.
When you look out and see an airline called Oceanic
You : 0_0 Ah shit here we go again
Made famous by lost for those who weren’t around before 2000
How do you not have more subscribers?!?
What is the song in the compilation
One of the Godzilla movies opened with a QANTAS plane.
Top notch! Oceanic is famous ;D
I'm pretty sure that's the airline jack took to find rapture
What's that one movie with the bomb isn't there oceanic there
That's really awesome!
Wait the X-Files episode had 1701 in it, that’s a double reference.
Oceanic airlines has the worst track rate with plane crashes
are all these guys electronic engineers? using 555 wherever
is it me or does it seem like any other airline company such as United or American doesn't exist in the fictional world?
keep it up maybe one day it will boom and become a big channel.
just saying
Huh... Idk where you've been but you got a new sub lmao
E esta foi a investigação das aparições das linhas aéreas Oceanic
I just realized that you don't have as many subs, views out comments as I expected, you need more :(
Geez, everyone's realizing this at the same time
It all comes full circle!!!
as a pilot, i reckon that the plane at 3:12 is a 747-200. lol
This was in one word --- AMAZING!! 10 OUT OF 10!
Probably the most recurring meme and troll in history...
Dude, dim the lights a little... its easier on the eyes. Also, looking upwards makes it akward to some of us views... 😥
The boy from flipper looks like Zach effron
Wonder what the pay is like...this company always has their damn planes crash.
Nice shade Dylan lol
Aren't all planes designed not to crash??
