Inflight safety is no laughing matter, unless you’re on a British Airways flight and learning how to stow your carry-on, use oxygen masks and clip your seatbelt from Chabuddy G and his celebrity pals.
British Airways has followed up on last year’s hilarious safety video featuring Sir Ian McKellen and Gordan Ramsay with a second comical pre-flight clip starring half a dozen new celebrities.
Titled ‘British Airways Safety Video Sequel’ the new video sees a number of a number of famous faces attempt to ‘audition’ for a safety video but find themselves wrongly directed by comedian Asim Chaudhry’s alter ego Chabuddy G.
Among the celebrities is Sir Michael Caine who puts the questionable director in his place and takes the reins to open the safety video…
Then there’s Naomie Harris who swallows cringe-worthy James Bond references in order to advise flyers on where they should stow their carry-on…
Joanna Lumley is ‘absolutely fabulous’ while ‘prompting’ flight attendants to point out emergency exits…
And David Walliams’ acting skills take a hit as he delivers an overly ‘oomphed’ life jacket demonstration…
The video ends with all celebrity guests promoting Flying Start, the global charity partnership between British Airways and Comic Relief which has supported over half a million children across the UK and some of the world’s poorest communities since launching in 2010.
Check out the full video below.
British Airways’ Carolina Martinoli said it’s “great” to launch another star-studded inflight safety video after the “huge” success of the first.
“Our first video was seen by customers nearly 25 million times so it’s a great way to promote Flying Start, our global charity partnership with Comic Relief.”
Carolina Martinoli, British Airways Director of Brand and Customer Experience
“Thanks to our generous customers and colleagues we’ve raised over £19 million for Comic Relief over the past eight years and we hope this video will help us to grow our total even further, as we support great causes at home and around the world.”
