Let's say you find yourself stuck overnight at an airport with a friend, with no security in sight. Do you huddle together in front of CNN, chatting about your hopes and dreams until the sun shimmers on each other's stubbly mugs, or do you whip out the professional-grade video camera, and run roughshod over the terminal? Fortunately for us, Joe Ayala and Larry Chen chose the latter, and their two-minute viral video is full of amusing airport antics in eye-catching high def. The footage is also rankling the brass at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, who see it as a sign of dangerously lax security. They're probably right, but hey, we've got a video to watch!
Stuck opens with two dudes settling in for what appears to be a long night of awkward airport male bonding, until their mischievous light bulbs flicker on. Wheelchair races (complete with wide-eyed joy and a befuddled janitor) open up the fun, followed by some havoc-wreaking at the American Airlines ticket counter; manhandling the intercom, keyboard and even (gasp) the Gate A14 signage and plasma screen. Is nothing sacred?
After a brief soap fight in the bathroom, there's some vigorous shoe shining (with another janitor cameo), followed by what is surely the crowning achievement of the film: a tiptoe to the tap for a cold one -- chugged in one, big illegal gulp.
Ayala and Chen then perform some elegant escalator work, spinning, sliding and racing up the steps, before finishing off their hangar hijinks with a pair of handstands on a tram, which clearly rhymes.
Aside from the beer swipe, the whole thing comes off as harmless fun, and the footage is really beautiful to behold. Just don't count DFW airport board member Betty Culbreath among the amused. "It's not funny," she recently told the media. "It's not going to happen again, as far as I'm concerned."
Indeed, all of their shenanigans take place past the TSA checkpoint, but still, the video makes it painfully clear that, if it's late enough, you can do whatever the hell you want at DFW International.
Every good movie deserves a sequel, so here's what we wanna see in Stuck 2:
- Rearrange the letters on the Cinnabon sign to spell Bacon Inn
- Form a "Wig of the World," made up of thousands of multicultural hair strands collected from the airport's carpet. (Bonus points for Scandinavian blondes!)
- Turn the baggage carousel into a thrill ride based on the 2004 A&E reality show Airline
- Rearrange the letters on the Starbucks sign to spell Sack Burst
- Replace CNN on the TVs with an endless loop of Sanford and Son, Season 2 on DVD. (Note: This prank will only work if it's the second season.)

Is this Mailman's video he so expertly linked and discussed previously?

They are obviously just copying the antics of those two fellows (who they also resemble) who had already done this.

The janitor(s?) is awesome. He's watching them Frost around, and then it's like he says "Well, they don't pay me to give a Shakespeare" and just lets them do whatever they want. lol.

I suppose the reason why this post got put on the front page and not mine is because I'm poking a little fun at Luke McKinney in my version.
That, or ZUG hates postal workers.

In this country, Mailman, we don't hate postal workers, we fear them. In Canada, postal workers who flunk exams to detect mental instability aren't hired. In the U.S., we give them guns for prizes.

Do you think I would get arrested if I posted that TSA logo at the airport?

Is that pronounced 'lam-e-yo' (rhymes with cameo, owwwwwww) or 'laym-oh' (rhymes with flame-o)?
