Have You Ever Seen7 Juli 2025

Airplane!

Put out a bowl of memberberries because episode #675 of Have You Ever Seen is a fond reminiscence of the greatest parody of disaster thrillers ever made. Airplane is still the crowning achievement of the Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker team who made many other funny farce flicks like Top Secret and The Naked Gun. What Team ZAZ perfected their first time out as directors was to make an uproarious comedy out of a deadly serious situation by casting likable newcomers like Robert Hays and Julie Haggerty, then team them up with old pros who weren't known for comedy...Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves and Leslie Nielsen. They're all phenomenal at playing it straight while delivering the silly dialogue. There's too much of Otto and the zany guy in the tower, but, still, Airplane is 90 minutes of pure gut-bustery. So, Joey, get away from those weird pilots. Instead, get in the Slap Line, commit suicide during boring stories and land that airplane because we're all counting on you, Shirley.
