Stewart As The Annoying Plane Passenger
1 min readSir Patrick Stewart was featured in a skit on Jimmy Kimmel Live earlier this week.
In the skit, the actor portrayed the “most annoying people on the plane.”
For those who have to fly, there are certain passengers that are a pain and make the already irksome experience of flying even more annoying.
Stewart showed several types of fliers. “The Chatty Charlie,” is the passenger who won’t shut up. Chatty Charlie also ruins the fellow passenger’s perusal of her novel, by telling her the ending.
Next comes “The Stinky Snacker,” that passenger who brings “his own messy disgusting food on board.”
“The Seat Climber” is the one who needs to get up to go to the bathroom and is clumsy to boot. Odds are high that The Seat Climber will get up more than once during a flight.
Everyone hates “The Seat Kicker,” and Stewart proves that not only children engage in the act.
“The Landing Clapper” is the passenger who “bursts into spontaneous applause when the plane touches down.”
I’ve watched this a few times and it’s effing hilarious! Showed it to a family member who has a flight coming up next week, and it was like uncorking a long-sealed bottle full of dreadful horror stories about bad flights with crazy fellow plane passengers. I’m sooo glad I only travel by car now! 🙂
I fly an average amount, about 140 flights a year, 23,000 miles so far this year. Very occasionally (1 or 2 times a year) I’ll encounter a clapper, and on some poor routes in economy there’s a danger of seat jabbing from the inflight entertainment. On 99% of my flights these issues just don’t appear.
Thank God he didn’t do this crap on the Enterprise…
Too bad he didn’t do this routine during ST: NEMESIS. It would have made the film somewhat enjoyable. I said *somewhat*… 😉
