Daily Dialogue — August 31, 2010

“What a pisser.”

 — Ted Striker (Robert Hays), Airplane! (1980), written for the screen by Jim Abrahams & David Zucker & Jerry Zucker

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is character’s breaking the 4th wall, suggested by Joshua James.

Trivia: To get inspiration for the ZAZ Kentucky Fried Theatre skits, the Zucker brothers and Jim Abrahams would leave a videotape running all night, recording late night television with the aim of spoofing the commercials. One night they recorded the film Zero Hour! (1957), which ultimately acted as the main inspiration for Airplane! (1980).
