I saw Airplane when I was a senior in high school and thought it was the funniest movie I’d ever seen. My date, however, did not agree. In fact, she didn't laugh at all. Not even once. Not even when the Japanese soldier stabbed himself to death in the window seat, rather than listen to Ted Striker drone on and on about his broken heart. When the credits rolled, she looked at me like I was an alien.
“What’s the matter with you?” she asked. “How was any of that funny?”
In her defense, there were others in the theater who didn’t get it, several of whom left early. But there were many others like me who not only laughed themselves sick but stayed to watch it again. So, my date left me in the theater and spent the next two hours shopping in the mall, while I laughed even harder the second time around.
“Tell me Johnny, have you ever seen a grown man naked?”
"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue!”
"Pardon me Stewardess, I speak Jive."
And this gem, perhaps the greatest exchange in the history of cinema, between two very sophisticated ten-year old Caucasians dressed like adults.
Boy: Coffee?
Girl: Yes, please.
Boy: Cream?
Girl: No, I take it black....Like my men.
Later, in the food court, I bought my date a Coke and a slice of pizza, but it was too late. The damage had been done.
“I can’t believe you’d rather sit there alone and watch that stupid movie again instead of spending time with me. "Surely," she said, “you not that much of an idiot.”
“Don’t be too sure,” I said. “And don't call me Shirley.”
That was our last date, obviously, thanks to @TheDavidZucker, the man who wrote and directed this ridiculously silly film along with Jim Abrams and Jerry Zucker. Since its release, Airplane! is now considered one of the greatest comedy films ever made, inspiring numerous references, homages, and further parodies in popular culture. In fact, in 2010, Airplane! was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant," proving once and for all that my date had no sense of humor.
What an honor to meet interview David Zucker, 46 years later. And what a relief to learn that he can still make me laugh...

JUST IN: JD Vance fires back at reporter who asked him about Susie Wiles' alleged comment that he is a conspiracy theorist, starts listing off every conspiracy theory he believes in.
"I only believe in the conspiracy theories that are true."
"I believed in the crazy conspiracy theory back in 2020 that it was stupid to mask three-year-olds at the height of the COVID pandemic..."
"I believed in this crazy conspiracy theory that the media and the government were covering up the fact that Joe Biden was clearly unable to do the job."
"I believed in the conspiracy theory that Joe Biden was trying to throw his political opponents in jail rather than win an argument against his political opponents."
"So at least on some of these conspiracy theories, it turns out that a conspiracy theory is just something that was true six months before the media admitted it."
🚨BREAKING: Decarlos Brown Jr. speaks from jail for the first time since the brutal murder of Iryna Zarutska.
He claims the government implanted “materials” in his body that made him commit the horrific crime.
“The material. Put it like that. The material using my body. It's that. You know, that's not me. I'm talking about just for no reason. But since they did that, since they did that, now they got to investigate the material my body exposed to. Since they want to do all that, now they got to investigate.”
Accused murderer says "material" in his body made him stab Iryna Zarutska: "The material used my body ... They lashed out at her"
