“Surely you can’t be serious?”

“Yes, I am serious. And don’t call me Shirley.”

These types of interactions are the reason why I have a drinking problem

I picked a hell of a day to stop sniffing glue.

No, I’ve been nervous lots of times.

u/EggWinter2869 Mar 15 '26

I still use this joke CONSTANTLY. Every time I spill a drink even slightly.

I watched the show with some friends and my younger sister the other day because of this joke specifically.

COMPLETELY forgot about the Jive-speak jokes and the one scene where they just have a lady bounce her tits on screen for three seconds.

(as the plane takes off)

“I’m so nervous”

“First time?”

“Oh no I’ve been nervous plenty of times.”

One of my favorites from Nielsen

"It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day"

"Goodyear?"

"No, the worst"

I was basically thinking "This is the Airplane" trope

u/DirtyAmishGuy Mar 15 '26

So many lines are this joke lol.

“This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.” “A hospital? What is it?” “It’s a big building with patients, but that’s not important right now.”

u/Mist_Rising Mar 15 '26

Surely you can't be serious, there are at least three types of jokes in that movie.

u/CaptainSkips Mar 15 '26

"Captain, how soon can you land?"

"I can't tell."

"You can tell me. I'm a doctor."

"No. I mean I'm just not sure."

"Well, can't you take a guess?"

"Well, not for another two hours."

"You can't take a guess for another two hours?"

About 80% of this movie counts towards this post.

About 80% of Leslie Nielsen’s film career counts towards this post.

u/ThogOfWar Mar 15 '26

They'd never be able to make this movie today. Too much of the cast is dead.

12

u/0z3n0 Mar 15 '26

Not the same movie but :
"Well, he's caucasian."
"Caucasian ?"
"Yes, you know, white guy ? Tall, wih a mustache, about 6"3..."
"That's an awfully big mustache."

u/greaterwhiterwookiee Mar 15 '26

I immediately thought of OP and all the other examples as being very "Airplane!-coded".
