OK, this works on a few levels

I missed the Marvel babes conversation two pages back, and I just want to protest that Misty Knight was not mentioned.

That is all.

Please carry on with your mirthful activities. 

EDIT - OH!!! And Kat Dennings!!! Why is the best friend always 10x hotter than the lead??

Totally about Misty and Kat.

And while I’m not sure either will ever reprise their role, they left us all with some lovely mammaries, and I’ll always be grateful.

As a Canadian I enjoyed the Canadian one. Sorry, Carry on.

This reminds me of the Jennifer Aniston thread at the old MP forums.

Oh man, I remember that thread. 

And the answer is no, you will not

The venn diagram

That one is amazing because it's real (or seems to be anyway).  Someone designed it, a committee approved it, the works.

[Zydar]

I lost it at Rihanna.

The funny thing about the CILT SIMULATION event is that once you make the first transposition, which everybody will, it changes the second word without any transposition at all.

[lonestar]

The Rihanna one, just savage.

[Stadler]

That was an amazingly entertaining bunch and covered a LOT of bases.  Cute humor, punny humor, dark humor...  Love it!!!

[cramx3]

Rihanna, cocky, and the gun leash got me good 

[jingle.boy]

The whole batch was top shelf, but especially this.

The Rihanna one, just savage.

[King Postwhore]

It would be savage if it said,

Before Chris Brown

After Chris Brown

Mind blowing that this is real!

My YT feed graced me with a Police Squad video today.

Leslie Nielsen cracks me up. Dude didn't get Airplane! at all. Just couldn't see the humour in it. Once it finally clicked he took off and ran with it. Made an entire career out of the same deadpan roles.

[Cool Chris]

I thought Police Squad preceded Airplane! but a quick check shows it came after. Being the proverbial fly on the wall in the room where the ZAZ guys wrote those scripts would have been quite the experience.

Definitely. Can you imagine getting that script?

If I am wearing a stethoscope, why is the flight attendant asking me if I am a doctor?
That's the joke!!!!

[Orbert]

Most of those guys -- Leslie Nielsen, Peter Graves, Robert Stack, probably a few more I'm not thinking of -- didn't quite "get" the idea of parody.  They were "serious" actors and came from a certain school of thought, if not actually the same acting school.  ZAZ had to explain to them that they just play it straight.  Characters in comedies don't realize that they're in a comedy, and that's what so funny.  And that's why ZAZ wanted them.  I wouldn't be surprised if some of those guys still didn't understand why it was so funny.  Leslie Nielsen eventually did, because he played the same type of character pretty much from that point on, but I remember reading that Peter Graves had some serious reservations about the dialogue between Captain Oveur and the boy.

[El Barto]

According to the ZAZ guys, Stack was the one that totally got it right from the start. Guy had a helluva sense of humour, apparently. He's also the one that explained it to the others. "Guys. We are the joke." That's when it clicked for Nielsen and Graves. But yeah, Graves wasn't comfortable at all with the scenes with the boy. He understood the humour at that point, but the dialogue was a bit too far for him. I think it might have been his wife that convinced him it was really funny.

[Stadler]

I love Airplane!  To me, those jokes never get old.

[Cool Chris]

Thinking about Airplane! always takes me back to when I first saw it as a kid. I didn't get much of the humor, but it still made me laugh. 10 year old me didn't know why "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing clue" was funny. It just was. I also remember how serious I took the drama. Some random guy is flying the plane! There is no way he can land it! There is a sick girl on board! I was really concerned about the fate of the passengers. And that "win just one for the Zipper" speech really moved me. It seems silly now, but it makes sense too. There has to be the drama to augment the goofiness.
