We all had our fair share of flight nightmares like someone pushing the back of our seat, snoring travelers, rowdy kids during flight, โKarenโ on board, and a whole lot more.
On the other hand, we also had some beautiful experiences like flying with a celebrity, celebrations on board like a wedding proposal, and great in-flight services from the ever-reliable flight attendants.
And when we talk about great customer service from flight attendants, we are not just talking about them serving us snacks while in flight and their unceasing smiles.
We are talking about standup comedy.
Yes, you read that right! Itโs a type of service that you donโt usually get from airline workers. In this viral video, however, a flight attendant hilariously delivered his pre-flight announcement and the passengers absolutely loved it!
Assuming the event happened not too long when the viral video was uploaded on YouTube, this funny pre-flight scene took place on a Southwest flight that was bound to Islip, New York in 2019. No pandemic yet, no face masks, and there were no hiding those beautiful smiles yet.

Just like any other flight, the crew on board must give everyone a pre-flight announcement. This includes the safety precautions that passengers must do during flight and in unfortunate times of emergency.
A witty flight attendant named Robert started his spiel by introducing the pilot, co-pilot, and another crew member who was about to demonstrate everything he was about to say.
He started off by narrating how to work on the seatbelt, who doesnโt know it? Well, this humorous aircraft crew dished out the instructions and said, โโฆin the event you have not been in an automobile since 1942, weโre going to show you how to fasten a seatbelt, watch closely. Do this. To unfasten it, you do that.โ
He also sent a message to anyone who wouldnโt like his jokes.
Robert jokingly pointed out six exit points of the airplane, sounds like theyโre free to go whenever they wish. This flight attendant is having none of the โboosโ and โthumbs downโ from the passengers.
He also reminded everyone about their life vests just in case the pilot decided to turn their plane into a cruise. The funny crew also reiterated that itโs a life vest and not a toilet seat cover.
All the while heโs joking around, Robert made sure that every reminder and in-flight precautions were set. He warned everyone that anywhere inside the plane, as we all know it, is a non-smoking area.
But for hard-headed passengers whoโd like to smoke, he directed them to do it on two entertainment lounges situated on the left wing of the plane and the other on the right.
โGone With the Windโ and โBye Bye Birdie.โ
These will happen to anyone whoโd try to smoke while in flight, sounded like a joke but itโs indeed a stern warning.
Robert went on with the speech all the while pinching each with a joke. Everybody was literally laughing in their seats. If itโs your first time flying, you might want to have him as one of the flight attendants.
Turns out, Robertโs been a flight attendant for Southwest since 2005 and that wasnโt his first time doing that. Heโs made many others laugh and it looks like he doesnโt plan on retiring nor stoping the jokes anytime soon.
He ended up his speech with a funny song to the tune of a famous kiddie song, โWe love you. You love us. Weโre much faster than the bus. We hope you enjoy our hospitality, marry one of us and youโd fly free.โ
Thankfully, one of the passengers was able to record all the fun on camera. YouTube user Launch Gaming uploaded the funny video on his channel which now has over 37 million views!
Traveling soon? You might want to have Robert do the pre-flight announcement before you fly.
