1. Peter Graves had no idea what he was saying was funny... |
|
Technically, it's not funny, but his deadpan delivery is what makes it hilarious (the movie's a deliberate farce in the first place...)

2. This was featured in a "Best Cameos of Celebrities Playing Themselves" article... |
|
...and they were highlighting Kareem for adding the extra spin of playing himself, and pretending he's someone else, but the kid is too smart for that.
"Airplane" was amazing in its day but unfortunately opened the floodgates for every inferior "celebrity cameo / farce" movie that followed...
