For my contribution for the Secret Santa roundtable, thank El Santo for assigning me the British comedy Whoops Apocalypse. I must admit I was dreading the task of watching this movie. Considering the quality of the movies the B-Masters assigned each other years earlier for the first Secret Santa, and considering there are few things worse than a failed comedy, I thought I would be in for a rough time. But to my surprise… no, I didn’t like this movie, but I have to admit that I didn’t find it completely bad.

I have the original BBC series, and it sounds better than what you describe. The humor was very understated and British. I think that’s part of what made Airplane! funny – as any number of reviews have noted, Neilsen, Graves, Bridges, et al played it absolutely straight.
