The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for November 18, 2024

Shouldn’t Lionel’s phone have a train mode?

“Lionel is getting LARGER…”

“Oh, Stewardess, I speak jive.”

Airplane! 1980

Old joke, along with the vulture /carrion/luggage.

He should use Otto Pilot.

Maybe not Shirley, but surly for sure! Sour puss!

108 degrees? Ohmygodsness! It gonna boils water. Global warming that bad eh.

“Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.”

Before taking his phone off airplane mode, he should google drinking problem.

Now arriving at Gate 8… Gate 9… Gate 10 … Gate 11…

We have to get him to a hospital. A hospital ?? What is it?? Its a big building where they treat sick people, but that’s not important now…

He thinks he’s Ethel Merman.

The white zone is for loading and unloading only

Steve McCroskey: Johnny, what can you make out of this? [Hands him the weather briefing]. Johnny: This? Why, I can make a hat or a brooch or a pterodactyl…

Give me a Vector Victor!

..

I picked the wrong day to quit smoking

Isn’t “Don’t call me Shirley” John Wayne, not Airplane?

So Unger’s under Oveur and Oveur’s under Dunn?

Funny

“Oh stop being so Siri-ous!”

I know the lead time for comics is long, but this is rediculous.

CLASSIC!

The temperature on Sirius is about 18,000 degrees.

Great one!!!

Roger, Roger. Now, where’s that topless beauty, and here’s your fish dinners.

This cartoon is Oveur Dunn.

He’s being Frank with her.

I read that the guy that played Johnny (Steven Stucker) in “Airplane!” ad libbed his own lines (One of my favorites was when he was told to describe the plane “Oh it’s a big pretty white plane with red curtains & it looks a like a big Tylenol!”

Scoodily Good!

Good One!! But does it speak “Jive”?

For something almost as funny as the movie, read the book about making it: Surely You Can’t Be Serious: The True Story of Airplane!, by the same 3 guys who made the movie. Really, not kidding, you’ll thank me if you do!

hot enough to cause a drinking problem

“I just wanted to say good luck and we’re all counting on you.”

Neilson helped create the parody genre and helped destroy it by being in too many bad parody movies.
