Southwest Airlines Announcement - SNL

They should do this for Spirit too. This is funny 😂😂😂😂

Damn I just bought a flight with southwest 😭

LMAO, "exactly" ...straight Savage!!

@Sky Scraper You clearly haven't flown much. I have, it was one of the worst of my many flights. How do you NOT have assigned seats for your customers? 🤷

Yoooooo!! 😂😂

Man I tell you, it is so funny when you hear someone say bitch that you never thought would say it😂😂

Put at least 1 per plane (like an air marshal, but more cost effective).

@Judette Lol

@Bodystomp Agreed

@Annoying Neighbor Lol

The best one is the rock doing the medication commercial.

Facts!

boomer humor

@S A lol 😂

@John Snow Actually, its economically best to use 1 airline because you get points.

imagine being a diehard fan of an friggin' airline, CRINGE

Umm why?

Agreed. And they're also the cheapest.

You don't have to a "fan" for eveything you use. People get way too attached to the dumbest things.

Yes, gold.🥇

White rabbit, a few of the "wrong kind" of mushrooms maybe???? Hhhmmm mmmn?????????????

LOL

L

@WhiteRabbitp L

Digby door----- , because it's comedy, I think they get a pass.

I wonder if they have to get approval from the company for these skits? I mean the one about State Farm is funny. But this one is hilariously brutal. 😂

I was on da floor after he took off those eye glasses! 😂😂

The comment I was lookin for😅😅😭😭

😂🤣

@Bryan Baquiran for his timing? Umm... you sure ?

You have the sketch writers to thank for that

He’s the worst one in this sketch, but ok

@J I nahhhh lol, but we’re not talking about Creed.

No

​@Matt Hunter what's wrong with stone tablets? So we're the 10 commandments!

When you've effectively wiped out competition in your industry, you can afford to laugh at yourself-- 'cause what's anyone gonna do about it?

@Mark H. Well, mmmmmOK then.

The commercial IS the safety briefing; don't tell the FAA, mmmkay?

On board TV screens? really Southwest??? Have you ever flown them?? Their safety briefings are one stone tablets!

Which Waffle House did you come from? 😂

@William Krause 😂😂😂

@SkipperbySkip As a could potentially be a SWA flight attendant in an alternate reality. I second this.

As a former SWA flight attendant, I agree!

Well I speak woke dialect, it’s racist!

@moveovermike That’s not racist. She’s speaking in AAVE dialect. Jamaicans, Australians and Irish all have their own English dialects. So do we….and we’re proud of it!!

I saw that actually happen at a southwest gate in Denver last week. Dead ass.

@moveovermike It’s AAVE and it was hilarious.

Heidi's wig is from the Bernadette Peters Collection.

@Carlos Chambers 😆😆😆 most definitely! you win. 😁💙🖤✨

😂😂😂😂

That wig is hilarious

You can't think up sketches crazy enough to match some Waffle House experiences.

@Megan Miller Could have been a pirates daughter. 😂

If I want a waffle, I just sneak on over to a Day's Inn and make my own. Don't pay a dime and I always get my fill! The syrup's not real though.

There is such a crazy range of people that work at Waffle House. From the nicest mom types to the crustiest pirates. One late night when I was a teenager, the girl at the counter was so pretty she could have been a model. Bright green eyes and auburn hair. My only thought was “why is she working the late shift at Waffle House?”

@Oof McGoof I feel sorry for your generation

@Oof McGoof Ahh, you write words same me do. Best friends in a life forever?

@Daniel Walker Is problem nothing. Happy you write SNL comedic tidbits. Hope SNL give many moneys you. Talent most best in history you are.

Thanks for you. Me am writer that do SNL laugh sentences and proud and happy you make me doing what you said in words.

And they just did a whole skit on Waffle House. I guess they like talking about it.

Did you take the new job offer though?

@Glenna Aycock Ahhhhhh hahaha hahaha hahaha Love You!

You bought Southwest shares...If you dont respect yourself, then why should we? 🤣🤣🤣

@Take The5th They are still underperforming so why the flex?

I just noticed today LUV reinstated its dividend. Nice!

It’ll blow over, although an upgrade of the computer system is probably in order. I’d still make SW my carrier if flying down to San Diego from Sac.

@Fifi Gigantor Gigantor lack of comedic recognition acumen, eh?

Am I missing something? What is mean or cruel about this abysmal attempt at comedy?

It's like something out of MADtv, only not as cruel.

------Beyond horizon, I traveled SW this last year and took my small dog, WHO I had to pay for. They counted her as ONE OF MY BAGS! It was like I was being penalized for taking her. We each had a ticket!!!!

How are the benefits at SNL? I assume you work for them

Love the new SNL. They’ve been killing it for a while now.

Whatever they do to improve, they better keep the 2free check bags!!! It's mainly the reason why I still will fly southwest

Yesss

The New Zealand Airlines Christmas commercials are hilarious!

Delivered with precision.

Best line in the whole skit lol

I snorted! 🤣

They can't do any worse than when MADtv did the same thing near the end of their run on FOX (and continued during their ill-fated revival run on the CW).

Monologue, Weekend Update, and the live music. Everything else would be way better prerecorded.

I didn't peep that either.... Thanks 👍

I wondered how MANY folx would miss that! It was GOOD!

That flew right over my head 😅😆😆

@kitkat Southwest also sends out free booze tickets often , especially if you are traveling during a holiday. I too have had little to no problems with Southwest. As long as you are ok with open seating, its actually a pretty effiecent flight.

@Skypost4ever ohhh ok thanks for explaining, I thought all airlines did the free drinks if it’s long enough? I’ve had the same selection of drinks offered to me on Alaska, United, JetBlue, Delta, and southwest. Southwest is the only one with open seating though and free two checked in luggage

@kitkat you get a free drink if the flight is long enough. I usually just get coffee, but they have water, some juices, and some sodas. They offer some alcohol on some flights but that does cost extra.

What free drinks?

@Missy E ....Lol....I had no choice but spirit for those late night flights to ATL from Bmore.....

I feel attacked 😂

lol Actually true for Spirit or JetBlue

I live in Baltimore and they take up like 2/3 of the airport. "We know you have choices when you fly" like no, I actually don't...🤣

@Maya Ram that's even worse. Lol

That's Texas hair, for a Dallas-based airline

that's what they said about the computers

Like the southwest computers?

When your hairdresser says perms are making a comeback, and you say where. Found out where... The airport

No it's not bad. They paid her $100k to wear that amazing "prop".

@Bodystomp definitely

Perfect delivery of the joke.

@ddebenedictis no problem 😁

@C-wordplay Yeah totally good!

@ddebenedictis Okay thanks I think 🤔 😦

I still love Southwest! 😂

You are not welcome sir

I always love flying with Southwest. Hopefully, whatever happened is fixed and back to business as usual.

Seriously 😂😂😂 and then 🤣🤣🤣 sorry but have to admit it was #RightOnTheMark...I was laughing so hard I started to😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣

Breakfast Girls Club

So the catch a charge season

The Blue Waffle House D;

That's redundant. You should separate them by jail.

Single-handedly one of my favorite ideas for airplane food ever: hash brown. Ingenious.

Amen to that!

Nuh-uh. I need them ALERT so they can throw chairs at people who are being obnoxious!

They only come on the side with a purchase of 2oz of meth or more.

@Taylor O'Rourke LMAO.

@moveovermike you nailed it!!

@Sarah Dee San Francisco

@Vernon Hubbard thankfully SW does not fly out of my local airport, so I'll never find out!

@Sarah Dee you don’t want to know! 😅😅😂

I have a zig zag pattern multi color bag. Where will that end up???

I was looking for Spirit comments. Thank you!

@S A ✨Spirit airlines✨ The Good: They do emergency checks on all their safety equipment before the flight starts The Bad: 25% chance the air masks missing & nothing pops down from above head at the beginning of the flight. The least they could of done is stick like a piñata or a raccoon or like confetti or something up there for effect…

Spirit Airlines... fly anywhere in the continental United States for $28 but bring your own lawn chair!

They didn’t get roasted & toasted tonight, but oh you wait- it’s always on the horizon.

@Aly Lol. I would've thought it's the other way around. If people actually cursed outright maybe we'd feel freer...and therefore, younger...? 🤷🏻‍♀️ lol But I'm glad to help keep you young. Lol

@utubefreshieagn seeing people censor themselves in the comment section keeps me young.

Ikr! It's too f*ckin real! Lmao

I feel your pain.

Lololololololololol

LOL!!!! EPIC!!

😂😂😂

🤭😂🤣

Ya they gave us apology points, and i got a refund on the flight they cancelled.

@straberryshinigami15 g Very true. The entire Domestic US Airline industry overall just sucks here in 2023.

Better than Spirit

@chorizo727 Delta may be the best of the three main legacy carriers but they don't meet Southwest's history of great treatment to both their employees and customers which is what made the recent fiasco so egregious for an airline that is usually excellent in those areas. Not to mention that Delta has also engaged in the same corrupt practice of prioritizing buying back their stocks over their employees and customers but then again most US Airlines are guilty of that.

Sad but true Eric. Great comment on at least the only bright spot on this SWA Fiasco during the Christmas/New Years Holidays this past year, is that their computers are now into the 21st Century. And only 12-15 years behind AA, United, Delta and even JetBlue. 😃

😂 They should have invited Waffle House Wendy to be in this skit

Audacity? You should check out Ricky Gervais.

@eDL713 WN is the largest operator of the 737 in the world. At the time of planning and production, Boeing was planning a training program and possibly a new type for the max aircraft due to the redesigned wing and need for mcas.. Southwest balked at the idea of additional training for the max and refused to purchase any aircraft with a separate type or additional days of training. Thus began the chain of events that led to Boeing (in concert with the FAA, also many former WN pilots involved on the fed side) burying the technology, keeping critical safety info regarding mcas hidden. Good on AAL union for spotting this and raising alarms. Southwest needed new efficient 737s to compete with the GTF A320s, and Boeing needed a large firm order. The rest is history.

@Bilbo Baggins Southwest cried about training costs? but it was foreign airlines that crashed the Max’s ? How are they responsible for airlines overseas? How are they responsible for Boeing officials not even being aware that the MCAS system was redesigned?

I’ve flown SW 90% of the time and haven’t had issues

@Darren Dent Big Comfy is the best deal in the biz. Yes. Spirit every time.

If airlines used Waffle House employees, you would not see any passengers acting up. They are trained to go 😆

Hey at least they are now have 21st century software. Now they are only about 12-15 years behind their major American Competitors. 😆

SNL’s costume department is honestly next level for stuff like this

I wanna know why only piloting sea vehicles with one eye is considered societally acceptable a La pirates, but oh I wanna pilot a ship in the sky and all of a sudden my eye patch isn’t cool anymore? The hypocrisy

Nah....Southwest is better than Ryanair, Ryanair is compared with Spirit Airline. I still prefer Ryanair to Spirit.

Ironically, Southwest is not the American equivalent to Ryanair. They even include 2 free bags of checked luggage for each passenger. Frontier and Spirit use Ryanair's business model. But they are younger airlines and therefore have more updated IT systems.

Yep. Also the "If it's that important to you, just walk" line. 😁

Outside of the total meltdown during Christmas, Southwest's rules are easy to follow and effcient. They are pretty fair as well. I have shockingly never had a problem with them

Michael B. in anything is soothing haha 😂

He is so trustworthy and comfortable to believe him too.

So literally, sports teams colours.

Thanks for sharing - I wish I had the opportunity to see it. It sounds hysterical!😁
