The shame of it is, I loved the old safety video.

Hear, hear. It's awful. The old video was informative, humorous, brief, and best of all, quiet. Much cooler in many respects than the travesty of this new safety video. I fly between 7-9a weekdays, when the new safety video is worse than a taqueria's jukebox while hungover. Less is more, VX.

A vivid and relateable analogy to this San Franciscan.

Thank goodness we can use our personal electronic devices from gate to gate. I can now drown out this "safety video" with my noise of choice...

If one wants to do fun safety videos, take a cue from Air New Zealand...

This Air New Zealand video is awesome. I'll give credit to VX for starting it all.

He's got the whole Deltalina finger wag thing down, too.

Can you imagine a UA FA doing this? "Medic! *gasp* *thud*"

It was amusing the first time but after 4 flights it's become quite annoying.

Since this thread has been resurrected, I really hope they come out with a new safety video soon. It's gotten really, really annoying - especially on the late night or early AM flights.

And one day, we're all going to be nostalgic for this!
