You gotta love Southwest

Do you think this was planned?

No I don't. I respect Southwest for its efficiency, its low fares and its ability to succeed where others fail. Otherwise, I am completely self-sufficient in jokes.

I always like this kind of info presentation on SW. Seems to break up any tension from being overcrowded and having dealt with security, etc. I guess some passengers might not appreciate it, but I like it.

This is not a new thing nor that rare. It's probably the best of the bunch, but I've been on more than one SW flight on which the safety briefing would put 75% of the late night comics to shame.

Maybe 25% or 30% of my Southwest flights (going back years) have had that sort of safety announcements.

Loved it. Nothing wrong with interjecting humor on a flight especially lately.

We used to get that on the old PSA flights between LAX and SFO, and I was more than pleased when Southwest started doing it on some of my flights. It made me, the fearful flyer, much less nervous.

I like SW's humor; as mentioned it's helpful given the negatives of air travel today.

I love SW and I like it when they make funny announcements. Part of the script on my flight was, "For those of you who haven't ridden in a car since the 1960's, here's how to buckle a seatbelt."
