Hellooooo, Frisco!
By Wyatt Earp | March 30, 2011
Fitness guru Richard Simmons is back with a vengeance. And sadly, he is bringing his skimpy shorts with him.
Simmons is now doing the in-flight safety instructions for Air New Zealand. Because people pay special attention to the safety instructions when there’s a chance they can see someone’s junk.
Simmons stars in Air New Zealand’s latest attempt at humor, their in-flight safety demo. In his go-to voice, Simmons asks passengers to “stretch it up” to put their carry-on bags overhead. The poor exercise mavens in the video act out everything from putting on oxygen masks to inflatable baby life preservers.
Maybe al Qaeda can fly Richard’s plane into a building. What? Too soon?

I never could and still can’t understand how portraying human beings as total fools became such a universally accepted way of selling a product. But hey, that’s just me I guess….

In another age, Richard Simmons would be the most popular inmate at the asylum.

They’re still my favorite airline.
No really! They are awesome. Really comfy, wonderful stewardpeople, just a great airline all around. I can overlook the silly video – everyone is bored by that rigamorole anyways

I pull on my Bose noise cancelling headphones as soon as my butt hits the seat. I never listen to anything the say.
I am usual asleep by take off.

I agree with BlackOrchid and Dannytheman. Anybody that has flown at least four or five times doesn’t pay attention to the safety talk. We could probably give it: loss of cabin pressure…oxygen mask…put yours on first. Know where your exit is. Don’t get up when the seat belt light is on. Oh, and then the useless stuff: Your seat cushion can be used for flotation. Which is great news when you’re flying over Colorado.

No white boy on the planet can rock a ‘fro like Richard!

My favorite airline safety speech was on Delta one New Year’s Eve, when the flight crew really just didn’t give a rat’s ass… The stew got to the bit where the little masks drop out of the overhead, and says, “After you stop screaming, pull the mask over your face…”

Ferrell – From the looks of the outfits, they filmed this spot in 1983.
Picky – And very popular in D-Block.
Dusty – Depends upon the naked, but that naked is definitely more appealing.
MeToo – OUCH! Tough crowd!
Orchid – Yeah, I think he went to high school with the real Wyatt Earp.
Danny – I used to do that. Then I had kids.
Picky – I try to use the stewardess’ boobs as flotation devices. Usually gets me slapped.
Mrs. Crankipants – Napoleon Dynamite comes a close second.
Richard – See? Now that’s funny!
GroovyVic – Trust me, my junk is not meant for public viewing . . . without a microscope.
