The setup

Two wildly overconfident airline passengers try to enlist their bewildered seatmate in their plan to stop any would-be hijackers.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

On a commercial flight, two passengers with outlandish hairstyles assure the man beside them that they are ready to handle any "terries" who might try something on board. Their bravado comes out in mangled words, invented slang and odd celebrity references, and the normal passenger grows more alarmed as they describe torture plans, show off a box cutter and reveal an undetectable 3D-printed gun. When the weapons appear, other passengers pile on and subdue the trio, assuming the seatmate is part of the plot, and the scene turns into a TSA training-video pop quiz.
