Arizona Spring Break - Day 2 |
Airplane! has been, and will always be one of my favorite comedies. There's so many background gags and straight-faced lines that you miss the first couple of times that further repeat viewings are necessary to understand why the Zucker Brothers are comedic geniuses. The main character in the movie, Ted Striker, says that he developed a drinking problem, then proceeds to pour his drink right over his mouth then down the front of his shirt. Classic. I do this all the time, and it still makes people laugh. Little do they know that I walk away having had the last laugh, for they think that I came up with it, while in fact I did still it from said movie. If only they knew... But that's what makes it so good. |
