Airplane! (1980) The film's many effective puns, sight gags, parodies, wordplays, and other jokes, beginning with the opening credits sequence set to the familiar music of Jaws with the plane's fin appearing through the clouds; the Airport '75 (1974) spoof scene of the singing of River of Jordan by air stewardess Randy (Lorna Patterson) while continually knocking out the I-V drip for transplant patient (Jill Whelan) - on the way to the Mayo Clinic who desperately struggles during the song; also the deadpanned, sexually-prurient and provocative lines by Captain Clarence Oveur (Peter Graves) to a young boy, among others: "Joey, have you ever seen a grown man naked?" and "Do you like gladiator movies?" - or the plentiful puns: ("Surely, you can't be serious!" "I am serious , and don't call me 'Shirley'!"); the continuing confusion of the pilot's "Roger" with his own navigator Roger (Kareen Abdul-Jabbar) while talking to ground control; and stewardess Elaine Dickinson's (Julie Hagerty) question over the PA: ("By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?"), and the infamous "fellatio" scene in which Elaine is given directions by air-traffic control to reinflate Otto the Autopilot doll (an inflatable man in a pilot suit) by a nozzle in his belt buckle ("On the belt line of the automatic pilot there's a tube.

Take it out and blow on it") -- Otto suddenly sports a huge satisfied grin and later both Otto and Elaine smoke cigarettes; also the "I speak jive" scene between Barbara Billingsley and two black passengers: ("Cut me some slack, Jack!

Yeah, it's me, Mr. Squirrel. Yeah, hi, just a harmless squirrel, not a plastic explosive or anything, nothing to be worried about"), and the loud, boorish, and wisecracking club member Al Czervik (Rodney Dangerfield): "Oh, this your wife, huh?

Ha, ha, ha"); and the scene of the often truant and tardy Jeff having pizza delivered into Mr. Hand's (Ray Walston) history class during a lecture, who is outraged and demands: ("Am I hallucinating here?

Geddit?")); also the scene in the cafeteria in which Bluto instigates a food fight, and his participation in a toga party, and his famous challenge to his fellow frat brothers: ("Did you say 'over'? Nothing is 'over' until we decide it is. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!...It ain't over now. Cause when the goin' gets tough, the tough get goin'. Who's with me? Let's go.
