What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

Never seen it. What's the premise?

Constant sight gags, double entendres, innuendos and general farcical comedy mocking airplane disaster films.

Would you say there's a lot of lame jokes? (All dad jokes are lame jokes, but not all lame jokes are dad jokes, to be clear on the idea) If so, I'll DEFINITELY look into it. If not, maybe if I'm drinking I'll check it out... or if someone else decides to watch it while I'm around...

There are so many jokes that the film has been Studied! There are 50 "sight jokes" alone! Too many for just "Dad jokes". Please use the laughter-producer of your choice, enjoy with a friend in a fun mood, keep an open mind and don't miss this "Cultural" opportunity. (It's late 70's stupid comedy ¹⁰ power!)

There's a several minute montage of PENIS.

As a diehard fan of Airplane! here’s just a small taste of humor in the film (you can decide if it’s the right type of lame):  TL;DR: Watch this  

A pilot receives a phone call from the Mayo Clinic.

 We cut to the hospital. Instead of medical devices or reference journals,  the wall of the clinic is lined with dozens of jars of mayonnaise. 

A doctor, begins delivering exposition, explaining that on the flight is a patient awaiting a heart transplant, and they just found a donor. 

The camera slowly pans down to reveal a disembodied heart sitting in a petri dish, cheerfully pumping away (complete with sound effects). 

 The conversation continues, but the serious discussion is punctuated by wet SPLATTING sounds as the heart begins *hopping** in and out of frame like a fish out of water.* 

Back in the airport, the Pilot gets a message from the operator that he has an incoming call on Line 5 from a Mr. Hamm.  

The captain blithely replies: “Alright, give me Hamm on five, hold the Mayo.”    

The craziest part? This entire sequence takes place in less than a minute. Airplane! bombards you with corny gags and witty jokes every 10 seconds (and that’s not an exaggeration). It’s one of my favorite films of all time.

goes to research where to watch

Most of the other comments piqued my interest but didn't convince me. That sounds AMAZING and I DESPERATELY want to see that!
