Ad of the Day: Delta Stuffs the Entire Internet Into Its Latest Brilliant Safety Video

0
0

Delta claims to have made the "Internetest in-flight safety video on the Internet." And by Keyboard Cat, I think they're right. Where else, after all, will you see a cat in a shark suit on a Roomba on a plane?

The video, from Wieden + Kennedy in New York, will begin running on Delta's fleet starting May 25, but you can already witness this meme-sterpiece online with an impressive array of additional remixed content with the "Will It Blend?" guy from Blendtec.

In case you're worried you didn't catch all the cameos from Internet stars, there's a time-coded list in the comments on YouTube. And you can see even more uncredited faces at 1:43 when they all get up to do the meme-iest Harlem Shake ever filmed on a plane.

They even included Deltalina, the famous flight attendant from the 2008 Delta safety video who started this whole trend of goofy safety videos with nothing more than some sassy finger wagging and a carefully placed smile ding.



I can only imagine what future civilizations will think when they look back on these videos and wonder, in particular, what is happening with the Internetest one. In fact, I imagine there will be a number of present-day Delta flyers who will view this inexplicable collection of references to other references—divorced entirely from their original contexts and remade into a postmodern bricolage—as a strange and otherworldly piece of surrealist art that would have given Dali pause.

But for those of us who love the Internet in all its Internety goodness, this is the best thing we've seen today. It's like a double rainbow, all the way across the sky. So intense.
