1987-USA - Alaska Airlines

[albear972]

And they became one of them!

[alaskaairflyer737]

@liteninbug Alaska airlines is the best airline ever so screw you

[abysmalatrocious]

This is former NBA Coach Bob Weiss!

[kobun37]

@Liteninbug

Uh, Alaska Airlines is still in business.

[cireravilob]

@Liteninbug Alaska Airlines is still flying and doing well fyi...

[albear972]

@Liteninbug Sir, I just flew from Anchorage Alaska to Los Angeles in them a few hours ago. They're still in biz.

[goldenrolyn]

OMG Andy Dick you were so cute! O wonder everyone thought u were gay!

[kevinbrueck]

Funny how even in 1987 this is basically becoming true. I bet they'll start charging to take a shit real soon. Andy Dick eating a sandwich was a nice touch too:D

[abysmalatrocious]

@kevinbrueck Shit! That's funny!

[negativewashout]

This is "totally awesome". Alaska Airlines employed some impressive talent in the 1980's. This made even more funny when one considers how insulting airline policy is a quarter-century later.... in fact this was oddly prophetic, come to think of it, isn't it?

[cameraboyqb8]

This is former NBA Coach and player Bob Weiss!

[AlienProphecy]

These other airlines Alaskan Airlines is talking about is just like the government today.

[flubbaj]

Isn't RyanAir considering charging Pax to use the toilet?

[jackalise]

Actually, Jimmy, that's one of the best voices in the world, Peter Thomas, and not Neil Ross. I know because I was there. Peter voiced all of these Joe Sedelmaier commercials.

[Jeff98177]

@jackalise Peter Thomas also narrates episodes of Forensic Files on TruTV.

[ITCJon]

Yes, that is Andy Dick.

[Bozewani]

What great foresight Alaska AIrlines. You are so prophetic.

[jaegertiedeman]

Ha. If you're like me and fly in the night, Lavatory fees would be the worst. Everybody would be sleeping and you have no change....

[JimmySand9]

Neil Ross, narrator extraordinaire, did the voice here. And he did work for American at the exact same time.

[Andy120290Returns]

For me, free toilet facilities would be a prerequisite before I bought a ticket.

[LEK2129]

@Andy120290Returns

I absoultely agree. Nowhere should charge anyone whether it be airlines,train stations, wherever, no single place should charge people to use toilets. It exploits people's basic needs.

[qt4good]

the scary thing is that one airline is actually considering doing that right now!!! it's all over the news!

[Mrparrot73]

@qt4good I know...Ryanair is almost ready with this...

[nickfalvo]

isn't the guy at :06 a Young Andy Dick?From :06 to :09 - can anyone verify that?

[teresaslo2]

they are going to have one stinky plane if they do that....like a bus I took once with no t

[ozonetom]

Per Reuters today, Ryanair is considering this.

[cactus743]

I don't think passengers will enjoy the lavatory fee. I wonder if US Airways is planning to do the same since they seem to love charging fees to its customers.

[mattdvb]

Except ryanair base price is like 50 bucks for a flight, but you pay for anything you need.

[OOSev]

I loved watching this commercial back in the day during Blazer games lol.

[oldshowfanatic77]

Does anyone have the old 80's Alaska Airlines commercial with the man in the limo at the end, looking like he had been put through the ringer? That was a funny one. Someone please post.

[mrath]

With today's airline business model of charging extra for every extra item, this commercial would be even more relevant today.

[voodoochild6898]

this is so classic!! alaskan airlines commercials from late 80s / early 90s were the BEST ever... they should air them again.

do you have the one with the "reconstituted onions" and the "tomatoes the size of a garden pea"?

or the guy holding the ticket for gate 401 and he looks up at the sign that says "gate 3"?

[sibtupolev]

Are you sure it's not Ryanair?

[Jonnobaas]

Yes, that's Andy Dick at 0:06!

[DryOatmeal42]

Is that Andy Dick at :06?

[albear972]

I wouldn't be surprizwed if the pay toilets come very soon!

[scandiflyger122]

God help us all if they do!

[janglar]

This is commercial comedy gold! Doing the bathroom dance while asking for 2 quarters for 5 dollars! This is fucking funny ass shit that beats any crap from today

[bradaussie93]

it's great .. just great!

[Quantanthead]

This one is great. I can't believe I found it. I remember commercial from living in California in the 1980s. A commercial worth watching again and again.

[jumpinbeanz]

I second that.

[janglar]

This commercial is classic comedy gold! The "2 quarters for 5 dollars" dance has become the stuff of legends

[rootingyourtube]

The Alaskan Airlines commercial campaign is nothing short of brilliant!
