- Richard: Stop hogging the toilet!
- Man: You wish! The screams are almost bearable in here.
- Richard: I’ll complain to a stewardess!
- Man: Good luck! I haven’t seen one since takeoff.
- Captain: Mrs. Kasai, could you please press the yellow button?
- Captain: No, that was the button for releasing the snakes.

But why?
@ TwoTail:
But why not?
@ TwoTail:
why ask why?
So much for a sterile cockpit. There has been more than one fatal accident because the pilots were paying more attention to other people in the cockpit than actually flying the plane.
@ David Nuttall:
I think at this point, a lot of the occupants would vote in favour of the accident.
I’ve never been on a plane in my life and yet I’m sensing several flight code violations happening right now. Those mothers aren’t even trying to silence those hell spawns called babies.
i bet those snakes are genetically enhanced snakes trained to attack & restrain anyone with a gun or knife.
what better way to deal with terrorist? not like you can use hostages to deter a snake after all.
If they’re releasing the snakes, I think the restroom is the last place you want to be.
As funny as it looks like in the comic, modern long range airplanes have designed rest areas for the crew. There is a sleeping area for the pilots, so they don’t have to go out the cockpit door as crew changes could be used for hijacking. For the cabin crew, the rest areas are usually towards the back of the plane or in more modern variants, actually above the passengers, between and on top of the luggage compartements. This allows the whole crew to simply vanish if they choose to without overcrowding the cockpit.
Also, there is literallly no need for snakes or other aggressive creatures (like armed squirels) as on most pressurized planes the pilots have the option to shut down the compressor bleed vales, essentially slowly depressurizing the passenger compartement, which would cause everyone inside to faint from lack of oxigen. This has led to several accidents and at least one case of suspected murder-suicide in the past years. In reality the pilots would just announce an emergency and land at the nearest airport due to unruly passengers, which is a totally legitimate reason to just land somewhere and kick out whoever they don’t like. This policy was implemented by the airlines as the airplanes themselves are worth much more than the money from any passengers who disturb others or make it hard for the crew to fly.
Maybe this is one case where motherloving snakes can be useful on a motherloving plane.
“Why the hell do we HAVE a ‘snake release’ system?”
“Current administrations brilliant idea of an anti-terrorist measure. Makes ALMOST as much sense as a giant wall… like that one we’re flying over now, right Steward Sanchez?”
“Si. Thank you for zee ride. My coo-zen will pick me up later.”
“Sir, there’s a brown man yelling in Arabic about God. Shall we release the snakes?”
“Sure, why the hell not?”
back in the passenger cabin, translated from some language that is probably wasn’t Arabic:
“You stupid infidels! I COME FROM a place full of snakes! All you’ve done is make all the silly white ladies scream incessantly!”
Not pretending to be aviation guru, but on most planes, as far as I know, captain sit on left seat, and co-pilot on right seat. Of course on planes equipped with snake release system seat arrangement can be different… 🙂

I though the seats are identical. Well, with some stuff mirrored.

That is why sound proof headphones are a must!
@ Asrial:
It’s a “Snakes on a Plane” reference; a truly god-awful movie, made in 2006 and starring Samuel L. Jackson.
You all have it wrong. The snakes are there to keep the rats in check. Rats are a problem everywhere and an invasive species.
@ Gamesman:
What are you going to do when the snakes become a problem? Introduce birds? Dogs? Samuel L Jacksons? And what is going to control them?
This is exactly how Australia ended up with a Cane Toad problem!
Yes, every plane needs snakes.

They should definitely put a flip-up safety cover over that button.
@ HKMaly:
Not necessarily any difference between the seats. It’s just traditional that the command pilot sits on the left in fixed wing aircraft. In helicopters, the pilot sits on the right.
@ HKMaly:
Why not both?
In the (slightly modified) words of Yzma:
“Why do we even have that button?”
