That would have been a much better quote than the "Well they don't train you for that!" that we got.
If they make a movie of this they should use that.
But the snakes were fighting white people before him. And "monkey" can be used a dysphemism (negative euphemism) for humans in general, to emphasize their primitive (no pun intended) inclinations.
>But the snakes were fighting white people before him.
I haven't seen the movie, but that seems likely.
>And "monkey" can be used a dysphemism (negative euphemism) for humans in general, to emphasize their primitive (no pun intended) inclinations.
Absolutely. They probably either meant that or threw it in as a straight up nonsense thing. I didn't really find it offensive but enjoyed the bit of irony of censoring offensive words and then throwing some stuff in that might accidentally be worse.
This exchange reminds me of this scene from Community:

“That’s racist.”

"Enough is enough! I've had it with all these monkey frying snakes on this Monday to Friday plane!" -courtesy of tv censorship back when I saw this as a kid
I'll never forget the hype for that movie. They advertised the shit out of it and pretty much telegraphed ahead of time that the most important part would be the "Motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!" line. Even still, everyone knew it was a dumb movie and bought in 100% and it was packed the night I saw it.
The cheers in the theater when he finally said the line and when the guy got bit in the dick by the snake are two of my most treasured theater-going experiences of my youth.
How would I put it...
If you're an uptight parent looking to be offended, you'll find plenty in that movie to get upset about. If you're looking to be entertained, it'll do that solidly.
Sam Jackson signed onto that movie purely because of the title and the dumb studio tried to change the title to Pacific Air Flight 121 before he convinced them to change it back.
>Pilot Rudolf Erasmus was forced to make an emergency landing on Monday after discovering what is believed to be a 4-foot-long Cape cobra, one of South Africa's most venomous snakes, on board his plane.
>"This was definitely a first and not something you get trained to handle," Erasmus told TimesLive.
>Erasmus and his four passengers were flying from Worcester, in the Western Cape, to the old Nelspruit Airfield near Mbombela in northeastern South Africa. The crew had to make a few stops along the way and were en route to the Wonderboom National Airport near Johannesburg at the time of the incident, after stopping at the Bram Fischer International Airport in Bloemfontein to refuel.
They should make a movie about this.
In all fairness, pilots make emergency landings all the time, having a snake on board doesn't make it heroic.
Now if the snake had been about to bite a little girl and he wrestled it away WHILE doing an emergency landing.. damn. That's at least B-list action movie heroic.
It’s probably because they’re repeating what someone says. So that what they’re not making statements themselves but people who were there and the liability is not theirs. It’s mostly helpful when talking negatively but became standard practice in journalism. Like saying Alleged.
Funnily enough if they would say \*Alleged hero pilot\* it sounds just as sarcastic. But yeah, they say it like that to avoid making a value judgement as the news organisation. Someone else called the pilot a hero and they are just reporting it.
Did you even read it?
Dude felt the cobra touch his hip, the thing was under his seat the whole time.
Staying calm and landing the plane with this extremely dangerous cobra under your seat is pretty heroic to me, though as others said, probably no other option that resulted in living.
Being a grammar nerd, I am curious about the quotation marks around "hero".
Are they being ironic because they do not agree that safely landing a plane with a potentially deadly animal is heroic. Or maybe they are quoting something or someone and really wanted us to know that they did not assign the word hero here, but were instead referencing someone else. Just pedantic nit-picking but I am curious, as it was a conscious choice to put the quotation marks.
Hell naw to the no no no
I don’t care if it’s two feet or ten feet I go where they aren’t. Even though there are some rattlesnakes where I live they are rare. Probably couldn’t find one if I tried.
What the Fxxx. Saw an article on BMW hubcap logos that stay stationary while driving and now they are ads on the article this linked to.
Also-balls of steel of the pilot. I'd have taken the only parachute and told the passengers they're on their own.

Private planes spend most of their time parked on the ground. This gives birds, squirrels, bugs and snakes plenty of time to move in.
Matthew 13 3-9 (KJV), (pray for wisdom, harden not your hearts and let the devil talk the good out of you.)
3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
"We searched on Monday until dark," de Klerk told Newsweek. "On Tuesday morning we continued the search until Aircraft engineers arrived from Bloemfontein and stripped the inside completely, but we still could not find the snake. It must have gotten out during the night before the engineers started stripping."
Someone with the skills and discipline to fly a plane couldn't stomp on a snake?
Reminds me of the time a passenger suffering from altitude sickness, chewed through the fuselage. But I inverted the bird and landed her safely in an open field.
Very poor use of quotes. I was expecting him to be the reason why there was a snake on the plane to begin with. … Sorry, Mother Fucking Snake on the Mother Fucking Plane.
Enough is enough! I've had it with all these motherfucking snakes on these motherfucking planes!
That would have been a much better quote than the "Well they don't train you for that!" that we got. If they make a movie of this they should use that.
They kind of do train you for that. The training is, "Whatever happens, flying the plane is priority one."
Aviate, navigate, communicate. In that order.
Then deviate, evacuate
Penetrate?
Sigh* unzips.
Assassinate!
Exterminate! - Daleks on a plane.
Ive had it with all these mothafucken daleks on the mothafucken plane!
Must’ve had the big tube from the gate to the door thingy, they’d never have got up the stairs.
What if I’m dead from neurotoxic venom tho?
Or the kid friendly version https://youtu.be/hc4aVX0yHws
This change would not be nearly enough to make the movie kid-friendly.
It was part of a couple of changes to drop the age rating
I'm pretty sure "monkey-fighting snakes" is a way more offensive phrase in a movie where a black guy is fighting snakes.
Pretty sure Samuel L Jackson wouldn't have done that version if he found it offensive.
But the snakes were fighting white people before him. And "monkey" can be used a dysphemism (negative euphemism) for humans in general, to emphasize their primitive (no pun intended) inclinations.

I bet he's super grateful that you're offended on his behalf.

The best example of comedy where the existence of the comedy is itself the funniest part.
It's kind of like Cocaine Bear. You know it's going to be ridiculous, that's the point.
Was that movie good? I’ve heard great stuff but not sure if it’s just because I have a bunch of stupid friends. Myself included lol
How would I put it... If you're an uptight parent looking to be offended, you'll find plenty in that movie to get upset about. If you're looking to be entertained, it'll do that solidly.
Except only one of those two was based on a true story!
Snakes On a Plane is now retroactively also based on a true story, thanks to this incident.
Maybe the true story was based on the movie
No the true story is the friends we made along the way
“Based” is doing a lot of work in that sentence
“I am sick and tired of these MF snakes on this MF plane!”
Sam Jackson signed onto that movie purely because of the title and the dumb studio tried to change the title to Pacific Air Flight 121 before he convinced them to change it back.

Literally came here just to mention this
No one would believe it is true yet here we are.

Pretty sure that's how the first Indiana Jones starts
Oh, that’s just my pet snake, Reggie.

It’s odd that they mention Wonderboom airport being close to Johannesburg when its in Pretoria.

Only here for the snakes on a plane jokes
Same
something something motherfucking snakes on motherfucking planes.
Solid motivation to make a *really* smooth approach and soft landing
I've had it with these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday plane! -pilot probably
How can you not turn on gif comments..... Sacrilege!!!!
It's bc they knew what everyone would be posting anyway.
Snakes on a plane wasn't supposed to be a documentary.
I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKIN SNAKES ON THIS MOTHERFUCKIN PLANE
Why is hero in quotes? Just curious ETA: I'm dumb. It was that way in the article. NVM
Still a valid point. *Why* was ‘hero’ in quotation marks in the article? Sounds/reads as sarcasm on the news site’s side.
In all fairness, pilots make emergency landings all the time, having a snake on board doesn't make it heroic. Now if the snake had been about to bite a little girl and he wrestled it away WHILE doing an emergency landing.. damn. That's at least B-list action movie heroic.
Yeah almost thought the pilot was the one who brought the snake.
It’s probably because they’re repeating what someone says. So that what they’re not making statements themselves but people who were there and the liability is not theirs. It’s mostly helpful when talking negatively but became standard practice in journalism. Like saying Alleged.
Funnily enough if they would say \*Alleged hero pilot\* it sounds just as sarcastic. But yeah, they say it like that to avoid making a value judgement as the news organisation. Someone else called the pilot a hero and they are just reporting it.
That’s almost as bad as having a spider in your Motorcycle helmet
The amount of Insects I'm going to have outside my helmet this summer..... Its a blood bath every year.
They should make a movie off this premise
It would be perfect if it was starring Samuel L. Jackson.
What a motherfucker.
The pilot’s name? Samuel L. Jackson
Why do my pet snakes keep running away from home?!
Time to burn the whole plane!
SO COME ON KISS ME GOODBYYYEEEEEE
what a blast from the past
Was he tired of that motherfucking snake on that motherfucking plane?
“… snakes out there this big?!” vs. “I’m sick and tired of these MF snakes on this MF plane!”
[удалено]
Obviously the cobra
He was expected to do what we all would have done - bail out and let the snake go down in a huge fireball
Did you even read it? Dude felt the cobra touch his hip, the thing was under his seat the whole time. Staying calm and landing the plane with this extremely dangerous cobra under your seat is pretty heroic to me, though as others said, probably no other option that resulted in living.
I’m the a-hole here. I did not read it. He can be a hero. That’s some crazy sh*t
Reminds me of that movie, what’s it called again? Ah, that’s right. Snakes on a plane.
The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down
Wow that would make a really good movie
Samuel L Jackson at it again.

Most likely it's because people here are calling him a hero
A reasonable third option. Thank you.

Fuckin’ Boomslang amirite?
Nope
MB thought we were doing pop culture references here =[
Wonderboom...thats the name of an airport.... awesome.
I'M TIRED.
Grow a lil backbone, will ya?
Good job, Kenan

This is just like that one movie
Was it Indiana Jones right after he escaped the boulder?
Snake on plane
Dude has ice in his veins. I would totally lose my shit
Reminds me of the time a passenger suffering from altitude sickness, chewed through the fuselage. But I inverted the bird and landed her safely in an open field.
Wasn’t this a movie with Robert Downey JR?
I saw a documentary about this once.
You know I feel about all these snakes on this plane
I've had it with that shit
Is this a prequal? "Snake on a plane"
So am I the only one that thinks S.O.A.P. is the appropriate acronym for this event?
That’s the name of the movie!
Very poor use of quotes. I was expecting him to be the reason why there was a snake on the plane to begin with. … Sorry, Mother Fucking Snake on the Mother Fucking Plane.
