Paul Rudd Just Called Airplane Mode ‘Complete Nonsense’

Paul Rudd is officially over airplane mode. The actor went on an absolutely unhinged rant on a recent podcast about the whole “turn your phone to airplane mode” thing, calling it total nonsense. And honestly? He made some points.

During the episode, Rudd didn’t hold back about what he sees as unnecessary travel rules. But here’s where it gets good—he also threw his full support behind those passengers who jump up the SECOND a plane touches down. You know the ones. Everyone else is still sitting there with their seatbelts on, and these people are already yanking luggage from the overhead bins like the plane’s about to explode.

Most travelers are divided on the standing thing. Some think it’s rude and impatient. Others are like, “Get me off this metal tube.” Rudd’s clearly team get-up-immediately, and he wasn’t shy about defending the behavior on air.

The whole rant has people cracking up because, classic Rudd—he managed to make a complaint about airline etiquette actually entertaining. Only he could turn airplane drama into must-listen content.
