Hi, mom! Get out of my room!
Normally, I am not a big fan of posting videos of people acting funny when the person acting funny is not aware that they are being videotaped. It is one thing to surreptitiously take the video and privately show it to your friends, but putting it on-line for the world’s decontextualized hate-laughter is the saddest. This woman is just trying to live her life and ride through the air like magic, and her possible mental-illness and/or alcoholism are personal issues not punchlines! Seriously, though, seriously, seriously you guys, enough joking, seriously, I’m being serious here, could you imagine if one day you were on the computer and you found a video on-line that you never even knew existed that had been secretly taken of you doing something silly or embarrassing in public? You would probably walk straight out of the library without even taking a nap in the bathroom! That being said, your mom is hilarious, and if I was riding in an airplane with her I would order The World’s Smallest Video Camera And Drink Holder out of SkyMall magazine so that I could cherish our moment together forever. And afterwards I would become like Jack Shepard in season 5 of Lost, just drunk and disheveled with bleary eyes, riding every flight to Phoenix I could find, back and forth forever, just hoping that it would crash into your mom again. (Via getthatlook!)

chip off the ol’ block!
I feel as though our avatars were meant to be together. Also I promise not to make a three hour movie about it.
I wish Avatar was about catwoman and batman kicking around on another planet. THAT I would watch (in 3d).
Mom always embarasses me when she wears too much eye shadow.
She is just trying to keep her heart rate up so she can live! She has been injected with The Chinese Shit!
Her and Bangs should meet up and do a music video.
That lady was like a combination of William H. Macy and the creatures from “I am Legend”.
I saw a bit of Sue Sylvester in there too… just me?
No, see it’s actually Mo Collins doing a bit for Mad TV. So, it’s ok to laugh!
“Carl!” she screams. “CARL!” but Carl is long gone and will never answer because Mad TV is over and Mo, Mo you need to give the wig back. …this week on a very special Intervention.
My mom shot the gremlin off the wing of the plane. What did your mom do today?
At 2:42 I can’t tell if she says “I am a monster” or “I am a mob person”… anyway, you people laugh, but how else is she supposed to keep the plane from crashing?
I think it’s inspiring that Lindsay Lohan flies coach just like normal folk.
Another reason to follow her on the twitters.
Is this Delta or the MTA? I feel so much embarrassment I honestly can’t finish the clip.
This is mostly sad, but I’m so impressed by the guy sitting next to her for not reacting (at least during the minute-and-a-half or so that I watched before I just felt mean).
That guy’s like, “I have HAD IT with these motherfucking MOMS on this motherfucking nope not even going to finish that joke
I can understand you quitting on the joke, but at the very least you could close that quotation. COME ON MAN, WE’RE NOT SAVAGES. Closed quotations are the only thing that separates man from beast.
Deciding not to close that quote was seriously the hardest choice I had to make today.)
So much of me whats to know if he’s related to her! Or is he just some dude? Some dude trying to make it to a Suns game?
He seems nice enough, but really he’s seething with quiet rage b/c his little brother swiped his iPod. Or whatever the Phoenix equivalent is… Zune maybe?
I was more disheartened at the parents laughing. They were out-matured by a man wearing a hat indoors.
Is it too soon to make an underwear bomb joke?
This makes me want to call my real mom and tell her how thankful I am that she’s only the “shoplifts from flea markets and refuses to wear a bra” kind of crazy.
Was this video taken pre-9/11? Where is Jasper $churinga when you need him? LET’S ROLL, PEOPLE!
My mom does acid?
This. Explains. So much.
This is seriously what I am afraid of most getting onto planes(besides you know-bombs exploding). Luckily the person next to me on the flight I took the other day just had a bad case of B.O. and not the crazies.
Bitter beer face?
She’s just fighting the beat.
This just proves that age old saying: the rhythm IS going to get you!
That’s your girlfriend.
I just love that her shirt says FIT.
She’s fit enough to ride an airplane, that’s for sures.
Phoenix is home to the Arizona State Hospital where all of the Grand Canyon state’s mentally unfit reside. Maybe she is going back for a tune up. Though I think she is just fine.
Poor lady only has two teefs and no marbles. Let’s save the snark for Tammy Faye Baker over there laughing her blue eyeshadowed head off.
Is Gabe making some kind of joke I don’t get talking about “Jack Sawyer”? Because I honestly find it hard to believe he would make that kind of error and it would go this long uncommented on. If it is a mistake I’m not trying to be a jerk! And if it isn’t, I’m not trying to be an idiot! Oh man, I will not win with this comment.
MMM crystal meth. Do enough and stay entertained for the rest of your life…
When did they start letting bus people on the plane?
When Videogum wins an Oscar for Outstanding Lifetime Achievement in LOL or whatever and the money starts flowing in and you guys can afford to hire back Lindsay and do please also hire Edith “get that l@@k!” Zimmerman for her unparalleled ability to link to crazy things (also because she is a funny writer). And then ask her to be my girlfriend. Thanks in advance, G@be!
What do you take to fly? Why shouldn’t you have the same luxuries as a dog?
That’s your dad’s girlfriend.
Aren’t electronics supposed to be off for that part of the flight? GOOD JOB CRASHING THE PLANE, PERSON MAKING THIS VIDEO.
At first I felt sorry for the guy sitting next to her. And then I could tell by his appearance that he was probably some sort of douche and probably has lived a more privileged life than the majority of people on the planet. Then I figured that experiencing a few hours of uncomfortableness for once in his life might broaden his own horizons just a little bit. Then I suddenly believed in karma.
Thanks for another spiritual journey, internet!

I fooled myself into thinking that Andy Dick could actually get clean. Sad.
The lady is mentally ill. Not cool to post something like that. The people who posted it should soul search. So should anyone who can watch more than a few seconds.
i know this won’t be a popular comment, but i want to downvote videogum for this one. it’s really not funny to post a video of someone who has a disability being laughed at by a couple of dumb kids. shame on them and shame on you for putting it out there for more people to see.
I like how “real-time” that video was. Like, at first, she really just seems like a kooky lady who is overjoyed at being on a plane and is excited at the amazing technology that allows us to guide a massive plane from 8 miles up to a runway where we come to a safe and comfortable landing. But all of the sudden at like 1:50, no one is laughing and the video goes on for another minute of that familiar discomfort we all experience when we are caught in an enclosed area with someone who is mentally unwell.
Is that Gabe sitting next to her?
You guys, come on. This lady is my constant.
(So I am f-ing screwed.)
where is TSA when you need them????!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I don’t like these. They’re mean and they make me uncomfortable.
southwest, right? this, the american version of Airline, and the cattle call seating, is why I will do my best to avoid that airline.
I didn’t see the seat in between her and the young fellow on the right and got very upset that they had such spacious seats. I couldn’t form any other opinion on the video.
