It aged extremely well, still one of the best comedies to date. You can torture me, slam my balls with a monkey paw, insert things into my rectum, squeeze my nipples, urinate on me, make me eat my own shit, have a dog lick my weiner, strangle me, it doesn't matter. I'm not admitting to something that isn't true.
If anything, it's one of the more timeless comedies that I've seen. The preference for punning, sight gags and ordinary absurdity over direct cultural references and situations and plots mired in them really gives it that quality. In my experience, it's one of the few comedies with a huge resonance both among people of my parents' age and of my own.
Proto-family guy humor. You can see that Seth MacFarlane takes massive inspiration from movies like Naked Gun and Airplane. No suprise hes spearheading a remake of Naked Gun. Good movies, not great, but good.
Except, unlike with Family Guy, (as per above) by and large, the jokes are intended to be funny without a reliance on the audience simply understanding references and the cut-aways (I assume that you're referring to the constant side gags as much as things like flashbacks) emerge organically. MacFarlane may like it, take influence from it and even directly quote it in his shows, but that's not sufficient reason for that critical comparison. He liked old Simpsons too and I'm sure a bunch of other good stuff, but that's not grounds to dismiss that stuff. You know what they say about broken clocks.

I still crack up every time at the "YOU"RE TOO LOW" scene where flashbacks start playing of guys flying proto-airplanes like bicycles with wings and crashing
Not only did it age well, it is funnier than most comedies made today. There are only so many times one can chuckle at Dwayne Johnson pointing out that Kevin Hart is a short fellow.
Not that guy but >we need to get these people to a hospital! >what is it? >its a big building with sick people but that's not important right now
always makes me kek.
dont worry i have just the movie for you
naked gun has always been better anyway
It’s kino, you are wrong.
No, but it’s pretty close
And Police Squad!'s the best of them all. All are kino tho.
Cigarette?
Yes, I know.
I'm a locksmith. And i'm a locksmith.
Pure kino.
third act drags til the resolution but I can't pretend the first half isn't still classic
>It didn't age well. Just admit it.
>40 years ago
Good thing that slippery slope is just a logical fallacy

Seems it’s aged well actually

Maybe this will help
Alright I admit it. It's just a bunch of sight gags and stupid unconnected one-off cut away gags. It's family guy on a plane and it aged poorly.
Thanks, guess the Presidents refreshed your memory after all

heh
I also enjoyed dracula: dead and lovin it
leslie nielsen was just gold
why does he have a giant turd on his shoulder, and why is the other man sniffign it
> he didn't see Shitfinger
Great double feature: Zero Hour and Airplane. Airplane is wasted without the movie they were making fun of.
The sequel is underrated
Airplane II is funny, but it's quite possibly the most "the first movie again" sequel ever made.
I still think it's very funny

Well...Liam Neeson doesn't sound like the worst choice but still, he's no Leslie Nielsen.
I still crack up every time at the "YOU"RE TOO LOW" scene where flashbacks start playing of guys flying proto-airplanes like bicycles with wings and crashing
Ok boys lets get some pictures!
It's funny as frick and it's a shame this sort of comedy is hardly being made today
Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
I thought it aged fantastically.
It always amazes me how many jokes they could fit in every frame of these movies.
Top Secret is underrated
>80% of the jokes end in "but that's not important now"
Boomers laughed at this shit?
Not only did it age well, it is funnier than most comedies made today. There are only so many times one can chuckle at Dwayne Johnson pointing out that Kevin Hart is a short fellow.
>Admit it
Admit what? It was never funny and extremely cringe. It was like the Twilight Games/Meet the Spartans of the 70s.
>jokes before
>set up and pay off
>jokes now
>mondays am I right? LOL
jokes then: hahahaha blacks exist!
jokes now:
Hahaha blacks . Classic
The last couple of "comedies" I saw the jokes were all about social media, white privilege and toxic masculinity.
Surly you can't be serious
the white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. there is no parking in the red zone.
Airplane! didn't age. Our world did.
Surely you can’t be serious
>I am serious! But that's not important right now. [laugh track]
The height of "comedy"
but he said
>I am serious, and don't call me Shirley
thats the joke, you moron
Not that guy but
>we need to get these people to a hospital!
>what is it?
>its a big building with sick people but that's not important right now
always makes me kek.
you botched the joke you stupid frick
What joke?
You combined the "Shirley" and the "A ___? What is it?" jokes, which never happens in the movie. Nor does the movie have a laugh track.
its ok they're on instruments.
I watched this for the first time last week and it was kino. I laughed more at this than any ~~*comedy*~~ in the past 5 years.
>It didn't age well.
Whatever, that's your opinion.
>Just admit it.
troony phrase. This thread is gay.
i really like this movie, i watch it at least once a year and it still makes me laugh
Why is Top Secret so underrated bros? I think it stands neck and neck with Airplane and Naked Gun.
I'll take a shot in the dark and tell you the exact reason. IT. IS. NOT. GOOD.
No Leslie. I liked it more than Airplane
top secret is the best one
26 year old watched it for first time last year as well as naked gun both were amazing
You haven't aged, that's the problem
>and that's a good thing!
I never noticed the photos
>i have a drinking problem
<chugs teh whole bottle>
lol the shit really hit the fan after that
It didn't age badly. It was never funny to begin with.
Its past your bedtime zoomie.
Where do the hot shots fit in among these movies?
