CLIP DESCRIPTION:
When a flight attendant struggles to understand her jive-talking passengers, a friendly old lady (Barbara Billingsley) steps in.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
This spoof of the Airport series of disaster movies relies on ridiculous sight gags, groan-inducing dialogue, and deadpan acting -- a comedy style that would be imitated for the next 20 years. Airplane! pulls out all the clichés as alcoholic pilot Ted Striker (Robert Hays), who's developed a fear of flying due to wartime trauma, boards a jumbo jet in an attempt to woo back his stewardess girlfriend (Julie Hagerty). Food poisoning decimates the passengers and crew, leaving it up to Striker to land the plane, with the help of a glue-sniffing air traffic controller (Lloyd Bridges) and Striker's vengeful former captain (Robert Stack), who must both talk him down. Along the way, we meet a clutch of stock disaster movie passengers like the guitar-strumming nun, a sick little girl, a frightened old lady, and two African-American travelers whose "jive" has to be subtitled. Leslie Nielsen portrays the plane's doctor, launching a new phase of the actor's career that carried him through the next two decades in several similarly comedic roles. The trio of directors Jim Abrahams, Jerry Zucker, and David Zucker responsible for the film would eventually go on to solo careers, but not before making Top Secret! and Ruthless People.

Apparently, when Barbara Billlingsly got the script, she had no idea what jive was. She met with the two other actors in this scene and they all three went out to lunch where they wrote out that entire dialogue. Comedic gold.
That's true. Barbara did an interview where she talked about the scene.
That is amazing cuz she killed it with this one quick scene.
I saw that interview
"they all three" doesn't make sense.
@@thefoxcritic1 Cuz you don’t speak jive.
- 'S'mofo butter layin' me to da' BONE! Jackin' me up... tight me! (I ate something that is making my insides cramp up.)
- Cutty say'e can't HANG! (My buddy here says he can't take this for much longer.)
- Jus' hang loose, blood. She gonna catch ya up on da rebound on da med side. (Just be patient my friend. She's going to bring something on her way back to make you feel better.)
- What it is, big mama? My mama no raise no dummies. I dug her rap! (Ma'am, I'm not stupid. I understand what she just said.)
- Cut me some slack, Jack! Chump don' want no help, chump don't GET da help! (Give me a break! If you don't want help, I won't help you!)
- Jive-ass dude don't got no brains anyhow! Shiiiiit. (Nevermind. You're stupid, anyway. Golly!)
Well done
Like I said, TOO FUCKING HILARIOUS!! I am crying!! Damn!!
hfontanez98 Hahaha nicely done. Is it strange though, that I'm from Australia and even the first time I watched I understood what they were saying from the get go.
csgrambauer Then you know, you got soul, brother!!!! You can stand tall and proudly say "I speak Jive!"
hfontanez98
Hahaha that's good to know. +yells out+ "I GOT JIVE!" +many people give me strange looks+
"Chump don't want no help, chump don't get no help." I have no idea how many times I repeated that line as I grew up... LOVE IT!
A thing that most ppl miss is that to say ‘chump don’t get no help’ is a double negative so chump apparently WILL be getting some help!😆
@@normturner4849 What you miss is what they're saying isn't correct grammar at all dummy
@@normturner4849 “Jiveass dude don’t got no brains, anyhow!”

@@normturner4849 Don't nobody care about that grammar lesson.
0:22 I've seen this movie twice and just now realized there's a vulture behind him when he says he has confidence in him coming back alive. This movie just keeps getting funnier and funnier the more I watch it.
There are so many inside jokes with this movie lol
I thought the vulture had grown from the bird that flew out of the cracked egg earlier in the movie.
I don't get the funny, please help
@@MoctezumasRevenge1vultures are scavengers and will sometimes circle dying prey waiting for them to die so they can eat em. Or at least, thats what they do in media.
@@ijones36 thx 👍
I actually got to meet the guy on the left at wondercon, he was actually pretty cool. I asked him how much of the jive speak was prewritten or if it was all improvised right on camera? It was from a script, however he told me that he and the other guy wrote it up themselves on set, he also told me that Barbara Billingsley was a delight to work with, absolutely sweet and found the concept of the jive language to be really fun so she wanted to get this scene right and all three of them had a great time teaching her how to deliver the lines.
Really ? Wow. That's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing that
Wonder where Hugh Beamont was
@@nswiss19751
Cutty say Hugh Beaumont couldn't hang.
This is a great lesson in how to work towards social harmony. Being able to laugh at one's own culture on the one hand, and someone outside of it getting in on the joke without condescension on the other (in other words, laughing with them, not at them). That we don't do either of these things anymore is one of the reasons the world is so messed up.
That's dope
Did you know that after Barbara Billingsley passed away in 2010, right after AOL listed her "Leave It To Beaver" credit in her obituary, they included this clip, prefacing it with just four words: She Also Spoke Jive.
She spoke great jive.
C.T. Warren That's awesome,if true!
I wish she had been vacuuming the airplane aisle carpet in high heels and pearls while talking to those guys.
Barbara Billingsley, Leslie Nielsen,and Don Meredith (who would have been the best get if they hadn't been able to get Kareem) all died in a span of about seven weeks😢
i'd never thought of that...that would have been funny...the vacuuming
“Johnny what can you make of this?”
“I can make a hat… or a broach… or a pteroda-“
Lol still makes me laugh
The tower? The tower! Rapunzel! Rapunzel!
My favorite bit from the whole movie!
I love the way he flourishes the word brooch with the trill!
Back in the 80s my neighbor was the asst mgr of a department store. One night one of her co-workers came up to her and asked what she could make of this and handed her a piece of paper. We had just watched AIRPLANE a few night before and she replied to her co-worker…”this?, i can make a hat, a broach a taradactal” (sp). I don’t think her co-worker was impressed…..lol
The Zuckers had worked with Johnny (Stephen Stucker) before and they just gave him the script and he wrote his own lines for each scene he was in. The other actors had no idea what he was going to say or do.
It's a big pretty white plane with wheels & curtains, it looks like a big Tylenol!
My favorite part is that the two black dudes aren’t even surprised she speaks “jive”. They just go right along with it like everything is normal.
"Oh stewardess - I speak jive."
One of the best lines in movie history.
One of the best lines? Surely you can’t be serious!
He's serious, and don't call him Shirley.
in movie history?
Amen 😎
You need to get out more often
“Jiveass dude don’t got no brains, anyhow!”
June Cleaver will always have that ethereal class.
Cut me some slack, Jack!
Blood ya gotta speak plain English as most fam here ain’t knowing what ethereal means
Always wanted to give her the pearl necklace
AKA..Barbara Billingsley
🤣🤣🤣
The jive talk scene with Barbara Billingsley is one of my favorite scenes in this movie. I crack up every time. It's absolutely hilarious. You don't expect her to speak jive.Shes funny.I was 10 years old when this movie debuted in 1980.
Yes you would expect her have a Mrs.Cleaver personallity
This was so damn funny. Like you, I was about 10 years old when this movie came out. The funny thing is that some of the lines that were in it didn't quite register with me when I was that age. Like the one where the little boy offers the little girl some coffee, and she says she likes it black, like her men. The The really cool thing is it allowed me to see that movie in whole new ways several times over the coming years. God knows how many years they ran this movie on HBO. Lol
Juxtaposed actors out of their genre is almost a cheat code for a good bit.
It was a high fastball and she CRUSHED it with aplomb.
What’s even funnier is that she keeps on talking Jive to herself as she walks away.
This is the funniest scene in the whole entire movie. I’m still dying of laughter 43 years later.
You spent the past 43 years laughing?? I'm shocked you're still alive !!
@@allezlesrouges I think he laughed once and has been dying since.

This replies to this comment are sooooooo outta pocket 😂
As brilliant as the script for this movie is, I have to say the casting really elevated to genius level. Apparently, to sell it as a satire of disaster movies, the creators knew they needed to have everyone take the script as seriously as possible, so they cast actors known for their dramatic roles in the leads (Leslie Nielsen, for example, WASN’T known as a comedian before “Airplane!”), reasoning it would be funnier. That philosophy is so perfectly captured by putting Barbara Billingsley-June Cleaver herself, THE housewife of 1950’s TV, the pinnacle of wholesomeness-as a foul-mouthed grandmother fluent in jive. Absolute genius!
Christian Krenek Yes! Inspired casting. It wouldnt be the same without Leslie Nielsen’s perfect delivery. All of them played it so perfectly, It was the first of its kind, and set the benchmark. It scared the pants off Mel Brooks - he made Men in tights straight after this came out, completely different from his other films
Yeah supposedly comedians would constantly overact and overplay the script which made it corny. The script was the funny part they didnt need a comedian to make it funny. So leslie was the perfect actor being such a serious hardass type actor at the time.
Several major actors in this film were known for serious dramatic roles: Peter Graves, Lloyd Bridges, Robert Stack, Leslie Nielsen. But that's what made it so funny.
foul mouthed?
No question - most inspired casting against type in movie history.
What’s even funnier is that she keeps on talking Jive to herself as she walks away.
I know, right?!😂😂😂😂😂
I died at that part!
It's part of proper Jive grammar.
Oh excuse me but I speak JIVE. Priceless
@@RichardX1
c, senore
ẞ
That's how jive talkers is... Everyone talking crap as they're all walking away.
It's not just the jive talk, but the fact that as strangers they are instantly & immediately bickering & falling-out with each other at a time of need that still makes me laugh so much every time....!!! Absolute comedy gold...!
Blessed to have, grown up,in that time period 😊.
What an amazing time.....
movie's 🎥🍿 and the best music 🎵🎶........
One of the hilarious subtleties of this movie was how they used so many well-known actors against type. Barbara Billinsgley speaking jive, Peter Graves as the pilot, Robert Stack and Lloyd Bridges in the control tower, and, of course, Leslie Nielsen who was able to use this movie to turn his career around 180° and give us some more hilarious performances in later movies.
Some of the parody us lost to time. The husband who asks for two cups of coffee and then she talks to herself were the actual actors from a very prominent coffee commercial on TV. Their scenes in the movie poke directly at their actual TV ads. But this is lost because the ads stopped decades ago and nobody gets the joke.
Don’t forget Kareem Abdul Jabbar.
I first saw this scene as a child but one burning question has haunted me these past few decades: *why didn't the two gentlemen cut her some slack?*
It just added to the comedy of the scene.
They were asked to write the scene, and they did it great :)
Because he was in pain and also didn't appreciate what he saw as condescension assuming because he is black and speaks native Jive that he couldn't also understand white people English. But she was just trying to help but after that reaction she figured "why waste my time?"
@@SWLinPHX I empathize with his physical pain and their frustration that nobody could understand them. They felt isolated and alone, surrounded by people who looked down on them. But it was wrong of them to take out their frustration on the one person who had taken the time to learn their means of communication. Her appeal to be cut some slack conveyed empathy, not condescension. If June Cleaver spoke to me in my native language, I would've been thrilled!
How did no one replying catch the joke?
I’m sure there’s a section of Reddit for this.
"Chump don't want the help, chump don't get the help"
Chump don't want no help, chump don't get no help. No need to whitefly it, Dude.
....Sorry, my mistake...
@@photo161 - the correction is completely wrong. the first guy actually had it close to being right.
Chump don’t wanna (want da) help, chump don’t get that help. The only thing for certain is at no point does she come close to saying the word no.
1:12 “Oh stewardess, I speak jive” she sounds like the 1980 Siri would sound, the minute she opened her mouth I was DONE! 😂🤣😂 funniest scene in movie history!
*I love Johnny. He's so unabashedly flamboyant in 1980 and steals every scene he's in!*
Chump don't want no help, chump don't get no help!
Say can't hang, say 7-up. Hahaha
That isn't what was said in the original release.
I love the expression on her face while she said that!
I ordered jive on Rosetta Stone
LOL! Nice!
yeah they ship it from detroit
How's it going with that?
More like Loretta Bone tight me!
Uncle Ruckus more like Harlem
June Cleaver speaking jive... that scene always cracks me up.
Best part is her speaking jive under her breath as she leaves.
Casting Barbara Billingsley for that scene was sheer brilliance.
Why? Cultural significant or a cool historical fact to share?
Barbara Billingsley was not only a veteran actress, but one known for her quirky sense of humour. She was a natural for the part of the jive talking white woman. Besides, these movies played heavily on humour that baby boomers, above all, appreciated. That's why so many of the actors were icons from our early years who were doing outrageous self parodies. I'm sure lots of us were as delighted as I was to see June Cleaver back in action!
@@stevenpilling5318 Thank you, Steven!
I DUG HER RAP!!
@@DairangerSentai7
Because Barbara Billingsly, best remembered as June Cleaver, was the whitest lady you'd ever meet. To cast her in the part of the lady who "speaks jive" is the least likely person you'd expect.
The jive talking scene is EASILY one of the funniest scenes in comedy movie history!!!!
There is something to be said about the "calm down" scene.
@@gilessaint-loup2426 The “sophisticated” children having coffee is a classic too.
“I take my coffee black…”
Apparently, that was lifted from an older film (with adults of course),
Definitely on the list, yes indeed. I would have taken issue if you called it THE funniest, but ranking it as one of certainly qualifies. Excellent restraint, sir, you are truly a man of culture. Or the female equivalent as the case requires.
nah ...Joey calling out Kareem will always be the best scene
true but this whole movie is gold :)
When she says "just hang loose blood!" I 🤣🤣
That movie never gets old. A true classic
So stupid it's brilliant.
I've been Black all of my life, and not even I understood what those Brothers were saying!
Shout out to June Cleaver for breaking it down for me! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I've been black for most of my life, and I understood exactly what they're saying.
and I been white/AmerIndian all mah life but was raised back East among bruthas n sistahs and understood every word lol...back when Airplane first came out! ☯
(if ya want a _real_ challenge, dive into Hawai'ian local kine pidgin...or Singaporean Chinglish or Thai slang...or even bayou Cajun Creole! I've lived with 'em all and mixed in...beautiful people, fun and funny local dialects will keep yah on yah toes...and teach ya respect heh)
😂
I think it has less to do with being black and more to do with being alive in the 1970's.
when I was growing up my best friend's step dad spoke like this, it was hard as hell to understand anything he was saying. After about a year of living on that block and hanging around him so much I started to understand what he was saying.
"Just hang loose blood" 🤣

Comedy classic! Other classics such as Blazing Saddles, Space Balls and Police Academy will never EVER get old!
My 25 year old daughter doesn't like *ANYTHING* that I recommend for her, but she loved this movie for the classic that it is.
Apparently, multiple producers, studios, and actors turned down this script because it was "too stupid." You can't teach top-level satire. You either get it or you don't. Pure genius!
Ridiculous. That is like calling Blazing Saddles too stupid. You gotta give the audience what it wants and this movie is pure comedic genius satire.
I mean... It is utterly stupid.
@@oz_jones the best kind 😂
EXACTLY
Like Benny Hill, Monty Python, etc.😅😂😊
I was a small boy when my older brother took me to see this at the theatre. It was quite the experience. I had been to a couple movies before but nothing like this. The theatre was completely packed and 85% of the jokes were flying over my head. The laughter was insane. I remember this very heavy woman in front of me actually fell out of her seat from laughing. I remember sitting in the back row and taking it all in. It was strange to see an entire theatre screaming from laughter. Oh and on this scene I remember thinking it was an actual foreign language and didn’t understand why people were laughing.
I can count on the fingers of one hand, the number of times that I was laughing so hard, my stomach started hurting and I was actually begging for the source of laughter to stop making me laugh because it was so funny!
It wasn't the jive scene that had me hurting with laughter, it was the scene where Lloyd Bridges had sniffed the glue and was so messed up, he was upside down while the rest of the world was right side up!
This is the first time I watch this.
Did she fall out of her seat or did it break from the weight!? lol
What an actress. Those were the days, when the actors and actresses were asked to do something and they could do it on a dime. How did Barbara Billingsley get the tone, the cadence, and the all-around vibe of jive talk? Yes, I know that she worked it out with the actors… but still! Amazing scene in movie history.
This and Blazing Saddles are hilarious.. probably wouldn’t be made today 🤣🤣🤣
Probably? Lol!
Would NOT be made today.
Blazing Saddles is superb.Don't forget Stir Crazy though.
"what it is big mama? my mama didnt raise no dummy, i dug her rap"
translation: what are you talking about madam, my mother didnt raise me to be stupid, i understood what she said"
Golly!

We have a real jive interpretation here. That’s awesome!
I didn’t know you understood jive.
@@Kajiukiller
Im not as fluent as the gentleman above, but let me see.
Translation: slice me a bit of patience jackery.
As much as the "Jive joke" with Mrs Cleaver might be one of the best jokes in the film, how about a shout out for the Vulture sitting on Robert Hayes right shoulder 0:24 while Robert Stack tells him "there's no reason he shouldn't come out of this alive"
I don't get the joke behind the vulture being on his shoulder.
Idlehampster
Vultures are scavengers....they eat road kill....The Vulture is waiting for them to die so it can eat them.
There is a famous photo of an african kid almost dead and a vulture waiting for the kid to die.....its a pulitizer prize winning photo
Look for the wiki entry "The vulture and the little girl"
It's a subtle joke...a lot of them in these movies
The one I don’t get is when the big spear sails across the room. I’ve watched that over and over and cannot get the reference. Anyone???
40 years on and this still makes me laugh every single time. So perfect.
I keep expecting Robert Stack to say "You could help solve a mystery"
what it is big mama my mama didn't raise no dummy, i dug her rap!
michael Woods cut me some slack, jack!
Did sound like the other brutha was holding out for some 7up
Cutty say he can't hang!

What XD
The best point is this is June Cleaver all American White Mom. It is just too cool.
Every couple of months at work, I have the opportunity to say (after the person is gone) "Chump don't want the help-chump don't get the help".
What made the line funny was her delivery
I love this, it is so F-ing cool.
Seems like June was hanging in them jazz clubs back in the day before she met Ward.... :-D

Just realized that’s Mrs. Cleaver from leave it to beaver and this makes it so much better.
This was the most random movie I watched tonight. And my.... was it the funniest thing I have ever watched.
I love the scene were the guy asks a little old lady if she wants a drink. She says, 'why certainly not...' and then does a huge hit of nose candy.
Haah just reminded me of my Mother. See looks down on pot smokers but smoke cigarettes and is an alcoholic.
I like the scene where they are looking at the radar screens in the airport, and all of a sudden one guy takes his laundry out of one of them.
@@trwent Or a turkey or a game of Collecovision basketball.
I like the subtitled jive conversation where it ends with one of the guys saying "shieeeeeet..." but it's translated to "golly!"
@@omnacky I loved how in the second one, one of the Jive guys testifies for Striker's defense and the stenographer is happily typing everything he said, while donning sunglasses. Even that one ended with Shieeeet (Subtitle: Golly)
The vulture is perfect example of Zuckers/Abrahams philosophy of never having a shot without a joke in it. Whether it was in dialogue, a sight gag, a running joke, background weirdness, whatever, every single shot was intended to have something funny in it. Often times, a single shot will feature multiple jokes. Almost nothing was off-limits. Even the simple exterior shots of the airplane are hilarious when you realize its a then-modern jet airliner, but has the sound of a WWII-era propeller plane. It's also just a model plane hanging on a string, not moving forward.
Lastly, Barbara Billingsley kills it in this scene. Damn funny.
I love the scene when Steve struck a pose while smoking and the photograph behind him was the exact same pose, and the photograph in THAT photograph was also the exact same pose! So funny
So true!! Yes, this video title is about the jive talking, but there were about 10 other things going on in the span of 3 minutes!!
Spot on your basically getting a smorgasbord of comedy in these films. My other favourite was Top Secret.
One I didn't notice til someone told me about it: in the scene where the taxiing jet goes the wrong way and crashes into the terminal, and people jump up and run away, one of them is holding a baby - she throws it up in the air and abandons it!
Besides this scene I used to crack up when they gave I think Lloyd Bridges the phone and he started doing bicep curls with it
“Cutty say he can’t hang!”
Lowell once said, "humor is the instantaneous perception of the incongruous." Seeing white bread mom June Cleaver breaking into jive is the perfect embodiment of this definition. Airplane was genius. Absolutely insane humor.
Mrs. Cleaver translating Jive, a true American classic! “Just hang loose blood” 😂🤣😂🤣
LOL that vulture looking over his shoulder as he’s being reassured. Every frame of this movie is genius…
By george I never noticed the vulture

June Cleaver was always a gangsta. Even when Eddie Haskell was on his BS "you look lovely today, Mrs. Cleaver." shtick, June always gave him that look like "I see you, muthaf*cka."
IKR?! She knew he was a pure bullshitter.
Great assessment sir
🤣🤣🤣
Bahahahahahahaha damn
The fact they got June Cleaver for this role remains one of the greatest moments in cinematic history.
She also went on to voice Nanny in the original "Muppet Babies" cartoon series
absolutely agree with you.
In Kentucky Fried Movie, Tony Dow had a cameo also playing his old character Wally Cleaver.
Supposedly they asked Christopher Lee to play Dr. Rumak and he turned them down.
Some time later Mr. Lee said that it was one of the biggest regrets of his life.
Who is she?
When I saw this as a kid I didn't get why everything was"so silly"
Now I can appreciate this masterpiece
When I saw this, what impressed me the most was all the cultural references.
The plane crashing into the airport was a take the scene in The Silver Streak. But even if you don't get any of those references, the movie is still hilarious.
@@stephenolan5539 Yeah I was maybe 11 years old when I watched this so I had enough sense to know this was not like a regular movie but everything seemed kind of normal. But the two adults behind me were laughing the entire time, And don't get me wrong there were some silly parts that I knew were not right, I didn't know what the word satire was, kind of a cool time to be alive in your brain.
This scene is STILL funny, many years later. Comedic genius!
Jesus, they would never in a million years make this scene today lol
A million years is a looooooong way from today though 😄
@Richard - or most of Blazing Saddles.
Most of the scenes from this film would be impossible. Suicide, pedophilia, I can’t imagine how many triggers would have

I remember my friends and I seeing this in the theater, we were all in our early teens, and we were all howling with laughter during these scenes - along with the rest of the theater 😂😂😂
That damn buzzard gets me everytime, lol
As a pilot in training, always wanted to see a gauge that read "A little hot" lol
PRAlex13 On F-111's it was the Master Caution Lamp.
As a pilot, how common would it be to find "rain and a little ice" conditions at 35000 feet?
Also prop noises on a jet plane lol.
The producers initially wanted a prop plane (like in Zero Hour), but the studio wanted the movie "updated" with jet engines.
It's actually ends up being a joke that a jet engine airplane makes propeller sounds.

JUST "a couple?"
I love this movie, it is the king of all slap stick! The casting was so phenomenal and one great joke after another, woven into the storyline is pure genius!!
Here I would never thought that June cleaver would go from your 1950’s housewife to a woman who speaks hood lol
I remember seeing this film in first run release...it was a huge hit. Nothing like it at at time. The audience was exhausted at the end of the film from laughing so much. I missed those shared crowd experiences.
@@DavidBrown-kf5uw ?
I only ever had that shared crowd experience at a movie once, but it was for a screening to the Seventh Seal. It was all fun and games for the first half of the film, but then as it progressed into the second half, the theater got deathly silent, everyones breathing was measured. It was quite something.
This movie had great shared crowd experiences. Same with Animal House but that had more crowd animation, but the biggest movie who got the most reaction ever was Billy Jack.
I don't think I ever laughed so hard in my life! Rolling in the aisles! I was 15.
They showed in cinema recently here. It was unrealn
she said she got more fan mail for the i speak jive bit than any of her other work 😀
That's like getting likes on Facebook, back then.
Casting perfection here with choosing “Mrs Beaver” in this iconic jive talk scene. 🎥👍🏼😂
I've been trying to remember
One of the greatest movies of all time. Just one hilarious scene after another.
What sold this movie wasn’t just the writing but the casting. Having a bunch of actors known mostly only for dramatic and serious roles all playing it straight in such wacky situations is something that should be tried again.
Like Leslie Nielsen in the Naked Gun movies.
@@Danimal1177 Yeah, a lot of people don't realize Leslie Neilsen started his career as a "serious actor" before he did the wacky deadpan comedies hes known for.
Is that why the black dudes sound like they're talking so called black for the first time? Lol June cleaver seemed just as natural
@@Nekulturny In fact, the naked gun series is basically a parody of the cop dramas that Nielsen use to do in the 50s and 60s.
Mel Brooks asked for a Frankie Laine type singer for Blazing Saddles.
Frankie Laine showed up for the audition.
He sang the song straight and someone said, he doesn't know it's a spoof.
Mel Brooks said don't tell him, it's not funny unless it's done straight.
This is one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history.
Truth! Everything about it is just beyond amazing.
From one of the greatest movies!
wow you must watch some pretty bad movies. In history?
Perhaps, then again, have you ever been to a turkish prison?
You must have sone pretty low standards.
One of the greatest scenes n comedy history..Ms cleaver speaking jive
Humorously lucky to have someone important to help on the plane. 1. a doctor in the plane, 2. a former pilot to land the plane, 3. a translator who speaks jive hilariously.
The fact that they even got June Cleaver to do that part is hysterical she nailed it it just shows how an older actress could make something so funny and relevant
Funny thing is back in the forties, when she would have been a teen/young 20s, a lot of white people used 'jive' expressions.
Probably the hundredth time I've seen this clip, and it still kills me every time... R.I.P Jive-Talkin' Barbara Billingsley
🤣 I couldn't help but to laugh when hearing Barbara Billingsley speaking jive, especially what she says after walking away from those men...this was GOLD!
The idea for the scene was pure genius. One of the funniest comedy clips of all time and Barbara handled it brilliantly.
At 00:22 the vulture on the back literally made me choking and crying lol.
Krisztian Bari I just noticed that lol
The “cut me some slack Jack” line always gets me because even as a kid I was like, “Hey! That line makes sense” and I understood that jive was supposed to be slang haha
If you listen to each and every word the brothers say, it makes perfect sense. This is gold!!!!
I've watched the Beaver episodes for the last 50 years. I always thought Barbera was "beautiful" and a fine actress in that series. Then 20+ years later, in this movie, she's still beautiful and a damn good actress. Bravo for casting her in this movie ...
I like how they both turn their heads to look at her in disbelief as she walks away lol.
the timing of the dual response, in unison to “cut me some slack jack”, as if she has touched a nerve was worthy of them splitting the award for Best Supporting Actor
I can’t believe this film 42 years old already! It never gets old, a what a 💎 of a movie lol
Can't belive a 2 minute 40 seconds clip can make me laugh till it feels like my ribs would shatter.
I minored in Jive at Harvard.
I know someone who did a PhD thesis on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I believe it was. Kind of annoying.
You mean Howard not Harvard lol
I learned Jive talking from the School of Bee Gees.
@Lexington73300 Only if you go to Port Chester
ike Must have*
Never get tired of this scene.
The Jive scene has me almost crying every time I see it. I think I was 5 when I found out what jive was. oh the 80's. 🤣🤣🤣
This is literally the funniest movie of all time. There are others that are/were close, but I can't watch them more than 15 times throughout my life. Airplane, NEVER gets old. We all have quoted this movie over a thousands times and most of the lines work in almost any situation. I literally have walked into a random class room/business meeting and just said "I just want to let you know, we're all counting on you", brightens my day to find humor in any and everything.
Surely you can’t be serious …
This will always be one of the funniest movies ever made
Yup. I have it on Blu Ray along with Blazing Saddles.
Naked Gun too
I saw this as a kid and nearly 50 years later, I'm still laughing at it like it's the first time!
Wow, you must have went to a really early screening as the movie is just 41 years old.
@@Herobox-ju4zd Or, perhaps, he has a time machine and is commenting in 2030
OMG!!!! it was 50 years ago! damn where the hell did the time go.
I saw this with my parents at the Dearborn Heights Mi. Drive In. It played with Alien.
That means at least 70% of the people in this movie are dead.
I remember watching this at the theater and laughing through the whole movie!
Casting Barbara Billingsley in this role was a stroke of genius.
The visual humour in this is just outstanding.
Cut me some slack jack!!!!
In the Spanish dubbing, they make these guys to speak with a very very strong caribbean accent, as in spanish that kind of accent is a "black" kind of spanish accent. As a kid I always thought they were caribbean. Then I saw the movie when I was like 25 again, already knowing english, and it hit me really hard to know they were not caribbean. xD
Must have seen this film over 30 times. Still cracks me up and every time you saw something new.
1:35 Cut me some slack, jack!
And in the theater, the crowd roared.
I saw it in a theater back when, so much freakin fun!
Man, I would’ve loved to experience this scene in a theater full of people 😂
Movie communal experience. I would have been carrying on too.
I saw this at the movie theater when it first came out but was too young to get a lot of the jokes but remember everyone in the audience laughing like crazy and thinking what is so funny.
@ after they stole your wallet.
"She gonna catch up on the rebound on the med side" just brilliant
I'm black and I'm offended!
That I didnt watch this scene sooner😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I guess satire can be pretty satirical, sometimes!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
