Nonapod said...: I remember seeing Airplane! when I was about 10 or 11 years old and laughing so hard at that Lloyd Bridges scene that I cried and could barely breath. Classic; 2/25/15, 1:03 PM
Gahrie said...: I quote Airplane and Blazing saddles constantly in my classroom. Sadly few of the students get the jokes.; 2/25/15, 1:11 PM

Bob Ellison said...: I tell you, and you won't believe me, but I still must tell you that if you enjoyed Airplane, you will also enjoy Airplane II, and then you will enjoy Kung Pow! Enter the Fist.; 2/25/15, 1:29 PM

I was shocked that I liked Airplane 2:

Dr. Stone, would you give the court your impression of Mr. Striker?

Dr. Stone: I'm sorry, I don't do impressions... my training is in psychiatry.

Kung Pow didn't do much for me, tho.; 2/25/15, 1:44 PM

Larry J said...: Airplane and Blazing Saddles are both very funny movies. I doubt you could make Blazing Saddles today due to the toxic effects of political correctness.; 2/25/15, 1:57 PM

lgv said...: I thought that was pretty good. But, I'm guessing he is about to catch heat for the drug reference.

This quote, of course, is from a movie where Peter Graves asks a young boy, "Have you ever seen a grown man naked?", or something like that. This, like references to many Blazing Saddles lines, will never be allowed to be quoted again.; 2/25/15, 2:32 PM
Big Mike said...: Bo should tell his team that next time they shoot like that he's shutting off both engines.; 2/25/15, 2:56 PM

I had to sit next to Alvarez on a flght from Chicago to Madison-he's an arrogant SOB; 2/25/15, 4:53 PM

I am serious.

And quit calling me Shirley.; 2/25/15, 5:00 PM

That should have been the first warning sign.; 2/25/15, 5:30 PM
