9/10
Simply put the best of its kind, if a joke doesn't make you laugh never mind, there'll be five along in the next two minutes. Solely responsible for the comedy career of Leslie Nielsen, it makes a genius move of mainly casting people who were "serious" actors up to that point, which gives them the ability to deliver lines as silly as the old...
"They've got to get to a hospital as soon as possible"
"To the Hospital? What is it?"
"It's a big building full of sick people, but that's not important right now"
...with a straight face, rendering them a lot sillier. Everytime I watch it I experience something new or forgotten, like listening to the tannoy announcers have a domestic at the beginning, or the pilot who has to talk the plane down stepping through his mirror.
Genius.
