FULL TITLE: 'We will beat you so badly you will be using your own face as a flotation device': Jimmy Kimmel mocks United Airlines' overbooking controversy with fake ad starring a flight attendant wearing brass knuckles

Jimmy Kimmel has mocked United Airlines for allowing a 69-year-old grandfather to be aggressively dragged off the plane.

The talk show host blasted the airline on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Monday with a parody ad during the opening monologue. United landed in hot water after a video showed Dr Dao beaten and forcefully pulled off the overbooked flight from Chicago to Louisville.

The chipper flight attendant in the commercial says: 'We're United Airlines. You do what we say, when we say and there won't be a problem. Capisce?'

Which was United policy until this morning and why they are in big expensive trouble.

Somehow the airlines that are friendlier with their passengers like Southwest don't have these problems.

The airline needed to find the market price of 4 seats by continuing to raise prices until people took their offer. If they overbook to try and maximize revenue, they need to take the hit when it doesn’t go their way. I bet they wish they

An injustice was done to the doc. He deserves millions in compensatory and punitive damages.

No doubt that’s just what he had in mind when he decided to act like a damn fool.
