One of the most offensive comedies I've seen.


Racist jokes. Homophobic jokes. Sexist jokes. Pedophilia jokes. Colonialism jokes. Abortion jokes. Suicide jokes. Religion jokes.

It was a different time and place in life, and some of those jokes said what was in the back of many people's minds back then (the film is equal opportunity though, taking shots at anything: basketball legends, alcoholics, nuns, domestic violence, race, sex, and airport safety). Nowadays, no way does "Airplane!" get made as is.

Yes...I like it too

Politically incorrect to the infinite power - and I loved every minute of it!!!

Snowflakes like the OP will never understand the appeal of making fun of everyone, simply in the name humor. Movies like this didn't let ANYONE off the hook, and it's endurance shows how people are drawn to that. I couldn't tell you how many years it's been since a comedy was released that will be popular 2 decades from now.

All true.

Ain't it glorious!

Get over it snowflake.

I bet they were born decades after the movie was made.

I’m pretty sure the op is also the one who wants the ghetto scene from National Lampoons Vacation removed. He also complained about the rape scene in Saturday Night Fever and is apparently too stupid to realize it serves a purpose.

Oh. So just a whiny pussy then.

Yeah that’s him in a nutshell.
