It's not a lot, but there seems to be an increasing move by airlines to come up with interesting / amusing / engaging safety videos for their flights. This new one by United has a number of amusing moments, amidst the mandated verbiage. (The intro to the alpine scene is my favorite, but there are several chuckles herein.)

My problem with all of these is that they're funny… once. The Virgin America song is very well-produced, but I've seen it so often that it really grates.

Well, maybe funny / entertaining a few times. But anything is better than the same generic patter accompanied by standardized images (my favorite being the grinning little kid who is then helped on with his mask by a calm and careful mom).
If this version is run on planes for the next year, then, yeah, it will lose its effect of getting folks' noses out of their tablets and on the safety briefing. I would imagine (hope) that some sort of statistical analysis of flyers is being done to keep it as fresh as possible for as many passengers as possible.
Tat aerial tramway bit was the only thing that amused me (and that particular sound effect always gets a laugh from me these days).
+Scott Randel The kangaroos were cute. There were a few others. But, yeah, the tram.
