Most Entertaining or Amusing Flight Crew?

Hey, I know flying is a serious business these days, but I miss having those occasional wacky trips with FAs who can pick between flying or doing stand-up in the comedy clubs.

I am wondering about other flyers experiences and favourites...????

I remember an Alaska Airlines flight with a FA who did the most incredible Andy Rooney imitation toward the end of the flight. We were cracking up... an example:

While explaining we need to keep our seatbelts fastened during landing right to the gate....

"Do you ever wonder why it is that the pilot says it's OK to undo your seatbelt when you are flying 600 mph at 30,000 feet, but orders you to keep it done up while you are taxi-ing at 30 mph on the ground? Did you ever wonder about that?"

Or another Alaska FA who kept us entertained on short flight with a pop geography quiz on the regions we were flying over - she had us answer with our attendant call buttons and threw out little prizes to the first correct answer. (I won some lip balm on a rope!!!)

Lots of FAs seem to have a bit of fun with the safety announcements - does this offend anyone? I usually find it funny.
