British Airways Safety Video

With so many people flying so often, it's hard to get anyone to pay attention to the safety instructions that they've heard before. Making these lectures stand out has become an art form. British Airways took note of the recent popularity of period dramas on streaming TV, such as Bridgerton, The Great, The Empress, and Queen Charlotte. The BA safety video for 2024 is a glorious mashup of regency-era scenes and the corresponding information for airline flights. Never mind that these characters would have no idea what an airplane is; that's the joke. But the audience knows that the characters of these period dramas will believe what you tell them, and that they are game for trying anything new. Even if that involves wearing an inflatable vest while trying to impress the ladies. (via Metafilter)
