    An absolute legend in comedy whose work shaped our lives and twisted sense of humor. Rest in peace.

      The movies from that generation are basically hour and half long memes … the scenes they created are the founding memes of the things we all share now.

    Fight me, but I think Airplane and Airplane 2 are the second and third funniest movies of all time (only losing to Blazing Saddles, obviously).

      Naked Gun, Naked Gun 2 1/2, Naked Gun 33 1/3
      Hot Shots!, Hot Shots! Part Deux
      Top Secret!

      Along with Mel Brooks … Men In Tights, Spaceballs, Young Frankenstein, History Of The World Part I

      All these films are basically just hours and hours of memes … they should be recommended watching for any modern day memer studying meme history

      If you want a truly strange experience watch Zero Hour. Airplane was a almost scene for scene remake but Zero Hour was a serious drama where Airplane was a hilarious comedy.

    If only Abrahams had been involved in Airplane II… Shatner was.
