The article from The New York Times, published on November 28, 2024, discusses the enduring legacy of the film "Airplane!" and its creators, Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker. It highlights how the movie, released in 1980, has influenced comedy with its rapid-fire, absurdist humor and spoof genre. Jim Abrahams reflects on the film's creation, its cultural impact, and the challenges of making comedy in today's more sensitive climate. The piece also touches on the trio's other works like "The Naked Gun" series, and how their style of humor, which often involves wordplay, sight gags, and a disregard for political correctness, continues to resonate with audiences, even as it sometimes stirs controversy. Abrahams shares anecdotes from the set, discusses the film's reception over the years, and comments on the current state of comedy, suggesting that while the world has changed, the essence of good humor remains timeless.
