Airplane! is widely considered one of the funniest comedy movies of all time. It's is a fast-paced comic parody of the very popular disaster movies of the 1970s (Airport, The Poseidon Adventure) and the clever jokes are completely and utterly over the top. However, nearly 40 years have passed since this comedy gold film was released, so you might've forgotten the scenes and the good humor that had you rolling on the ground. And even though it's impossible to cover all of those dark humor skits, Bored Panda has compiled a list of some of the best jokes in the hilariously funny movie to refresh your memory. And if you'll want to rewatch the movie after going through them, feel free to fire it up on Amazon Prime Video.

There's loads of these secret entries in the credits. Same with the Naked Gun movies, too. I can't remember which one it is, but one of them even provides a recipe for brownies.

There's an oatmeal cookie recipe in the midst of the credits too, I recall :)

Leslie Nielson, starting out as a serious actor, was the perfect straight man for this movie

For me this is personally funny, my mothers name is Shirley. My husband would always say “don’t call me Shirley”, I couldn’t handle that.😂😂

These two only shared this one scene, but it, and their acting, was f*****g perfect. His face is priceless.

Cream is the thicker part of the milk that settles to the top when it's exatrcted from the cow. It tastes different then just skim milk.

For me it wasn’t the picture thing, it was all of the reporters looked like they were from the 1940’s detective movies.

Poor guy was driven nearly insane by Ted's back-story which is why he was going to set fire to himself... then thinks he is safe because Ted is going to the 'little room in the front of the plane where the pilots sit'. So is he safe???

Nope, he blows himself up on accident, anyways.

Seriously, though, does this guy even have eyes. Watching this is sort of creepy.

Holy sh**, i've seen this movie maybe fifty times, but this is the first time i've realised the shelf! Prove that this is the movie with the most jokes per minute!

It's the same with Police Squad. Which is why it got cancelled. People didn't like having to pay attention.

I'd like a copy of Box Lunch. You know what, I'll take one of everything from that section.

It's a pretty quick sight gag, so you may have to watch the movie more than once to notice it. Not that you need an excuse to watch Airplane more than once.

Not a chance. And, you notice the "Striker/strike her"" joke is missing from this list. You know the one. I guess Bored Panda didn't want to trigger anyone.

This and the sequel are, in my opinion, the funniest movies ever made. I don't care that the second one was just a lot of the same recycled jokes. For whatever reason it just worked. Over 30 years later both still make me laugh.

Wasn't the whole point of this spoof genre that the movies they were spoofing were themselves recycled until they squeaked?
