1941 is a bit strained at times with a couple of irritating characters and its manic and mayhem rather than hilarious.
However 1 scene was superb. The scene with the Jaws pisstake and the naked woman swimmer endin up clinging to the periscope and the japanese sub spotter with the binoculars looks up sees her butt and says "...Ahhhhhh Horrywooood...!!"
Now thats comedy genius.!!

Not sure if the director was involved in that recut though, I think it was Universal related to TV showings. I think it is the better cut though.
Yes, that's absolutely correct - the "extended" cut is the TV version, re-cut in house by Universal by the same team who prepped TV versions of Universal's Airport movies.
Uh, not exactly. Some of the scenes were put back into the TV version, but the extended version seen on home video was put together under Bob Gale's supervision. IIRC, Gale saw the TV version, and, although happy to see several scenes restored, wanted more put back in, and/or adjustments to how the long cut was put together, so he worked on it as a labor of love. Spielberg did not supervise, but gave his blessing (otherwise we surely would never had seen it released.)

I didn't see a separate "R.I.P." thread, so I thought this would be a good place to remember veteran character actor Don Calfa, who just recently passed away.
In "1941" he was the wacky, pig-Latin speaking radio operator at the airfield.

I actually find '41 and IAMMMMW to be two of the funniest movies ever.

Someone at TCM must agree with you, they're showing it tonight, though actually tomorrow at 4 AM.
I'll pass. I've seen it two or three times since original release. It's not that good.
I only watch it for the score and model effects.
Wise decision.
