Speedo Airlines

Funny or Die has unearthed video of an old Carol Burnett Show skit about airlines. In this case, it's a parody involving a fictional airline called Speedo, with Tim Conway as the agent and Harvey Korman playing a frustrated passenger. The video touches on both the inefficiency of airline agents and the helplessness of the passenger. Considering what we know of the modern travel experience and airline agent/passenger relations, the sad thing is, it really doesn't seem all that different from today. Worse: the fact that the "No Frills Airline" is even less far off. [via]
