Malaysia Airlines has just released a new safety video, and I feel like Virgin America has made a comeback, or something. I’m not sure whether I love it, find it incredibly annoying, or both. See it for yourself below.
What do y’all make of Malaysia Airlines’ new safety video?

Grow up Daniel. Not all women are ladies and not all men are gentleman.
Sexist not racist, since when a gender is a race?
I'm from Malaysia and this video is trending locally! This seems to be a full-length video for PR purposes. MH has just announced that a truncated version (I suspect no intro - more safety and less dancing/singing and hopefully less annoying version) will be used in the aircraft beginning Aug 2022.
Very annoying and far to long
This is the first time I ever write to comment on any issue, but I can’t express my frustration any other way. Your safety briefing is certainly very obnoxious and loud, and is distracting to say the least. I am a frequent flyer, and I tried hard to block out this message every time I hear it. Have mercy!

This is just a terrible video. It's too damn long. Second, the whole purpose of a safety video is to convey safety messages in a clear way for all passengers especially the elderly and the first time flyer. You're not trying to win a Tony Award for the best musical.
I couldn't watch more than 90 seconds of it. If passengers do the same, then it's failed completely!
I find this inflight safety video to be a little to loud and flashy for my tastes. But it may well become a hit amongst music lovers.
Wow some of the comments - I need an English translator
I hate American Airlines safety video. It’s so whack. Unless we abolish FAs and every passenger must read a safety message and click a box they agree to comply at Checkin.
I feel for the people who fly frequently on MH, good god that’s annoying af. I’d seriously either avoid MH Or bring ear plugs if I flew frequently in Malaysia
Paging Todrick Hall: Someone has misappropriated your material.
I lost interest in less than a minute. Way too long and irritating
I think the awkward mouthing of the lines was the worst part. Felt like a badly dubbed movie.
Can you imagine being a frequent flyer and hearing this once or twice a week. Dreadful.
I thought changing up safety videos was to get more attention/engagement from the passengers, whereas with this video I would imagine many people tuning out.
this is totally a mimic of the #VXSafetyDance video that Virgin America did back in the day.
This might be fun in charter flights for the not so frequent flyers once a year.
very entertaining, creative but long......great first time, not going to be watched the eighth time..................
for those who are familiar with KL's scene, this video brings to mind Blue Boy's legendary drag 'musicals' :-)
I mean this aint good, but for me, the Qatar soccer players "football-famous idiots in the changing room" is still not beat. And some maniacs even like that one, so Im sure this will find admirers, too.
Ughhhh imagine this playing on a redeye at 2AM
Uh. This video is like 12% of my flight time between SIN and KUL.
Reminds me of AA's 'click, clack' video...with a whole lot of, something extra.
Way, way too long for a safety video though.
Wow, this is really something. Where to begin? Well, first off, it's too damn long! I bowed out about 2/3 through it. While mildly amusing at first, it got old and I can't imagine how old this would get for you if you're on MH for multiple segments. Secondly, what's the theme here anyway? It all seems so random. Basically, this is a hot mess.
As someone who NEVER watches safety videos, I am shocked as to how long this one is. Are airlines going for the "longest safety video ever" award?
They probably have a shorter version on board. Most safety videos posted by the airline online is an extended version.
That was one of the most atrocious things I have ever seen.
Looks like they're having an identity crisis. AirAsia's the "fun" airline in the country. They're supposed to be cultural ambassadors, like Singapore/Thai/Garuda next to them. Of course realistically no one would decide to/against flying an airline based purely on safety video
The part with Patsy, Eddie, and Bubble at the 1:00 minute mark was when I had to stop watching.
I loved it it was very cute but also it was very racist them addressing people as ladies and gentlemen is very racist what about all of the lgbtq++ people who don't adhere to either ladies or gentleman otherwise besides it being racist it was a very cute and enjoyable presentation but I do agree with the other commenter that it would be much better had they known where they're missing plane is I feel...

Probably since people could decide what gender they are or aren't.
Grow up Daniel. Not all women are ladies and not all men are gentleman.
This comment is racist against punctuation.
80 seconds into the video, there's still nothing about safety. What a way to lose people's attention.
Too long and I can imagine it could be very annoying if the sound is cranked up high.
That poor kid at 5:54
It could be considered amusing and delightful, if only if it weren’t for the still-missing MH370!
