3. American tourists
"There's nothing American tourists like more than the things they can get at home." -- Stephen Colbert, talk show host
4. Indians and terrorists
"It's hard man 'cause the security in the airport, customs, immigration, they really need to learn the difference between a terrorist and an Indian.
"Terrorists hate Americans. Indians hate each other. A terrorist will blow up an airport. Indians like to work at the airport. That would be counter-productive." -- Russell Peters, comedian
"Ha, I'm handsome and funny!"
5. Flight delays
“People say there’s delays on flights. Delays, really? New York to California in five hours, that used to take 30 years, a bunch of people used to die on the way there, have a baby, you would end up with a whole different group of people by the time you got there.
"Now you watch a movie and [go to the toilet] and you’re home." -- Louis C.K., comedian

8. Fear
“My fear of flying starts as soon as I buckle myself in and then the guy up front mumbles a few unintelligible words then before I know it I'm thrust into the back of my seat by acceleration that seems way too fast and the rest of the trip is an endless nightmare of turbulence, of near misses. And then the cabbie drops me off at the airport.” -- Dennis Miller, talk show host
9. Africa
Some black people want to get in touch with their African roots. But then you got some black people that just don't give a damn. You tell them, 'Hey, I just got back from the motherland.'
"They're like, 'Where'd you go -- Detroit? Did you see The Temptations?'" -- Wanda Sykes, comedian
10. Passport photos
“Airplane travel is nature’s way of making you look like your passport photo.” -- Al Gore, environmental activist
11. Long-haul flights

Don't ask Dane Cook to take your picture when you visit the United States.12. Taking photos
“When you hand someone a camera, why do they act like you just asked them to dissemble a bomb? They take it and they're like, 'What do I do … I don’t really ... ha-huh ...' Yeah, it’s the button on the top right where it always is since the beginning of #*@! time!” -- Dane Cook, comedian

"Hmm, why is my quote beneath Colbert's? Is this list a ranking? Better not be."
14. Whiners
“People come back from flights and tell you a story like it’s a horror story. They act like their flight was like a cattle car in the 1940s in Germany.
"That's how bad they make it sound. They're like, 'It was the worst day of my life. We didn’t board for 20 minutes and they made us sit there on the runway for 40 minutes.'
Oh really? What happened next? Did you fly in the air, incredibly, like a bird? Did you partake in the miracle of human flight you non-contributing zero?’" -- Louis C.K, comedian
15. Similarities between the United States and Australia
"Imagine if American politics were a boomerang, and you threw that boomerang and it came back to you exactly like it was … except now it had a dark, leathery suntan and was wearing corduroy shorts and an orange Ocean Pacific tank top." -- from "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents: America (the Book)"
Don't expect Ellen to share her fruit cup with you on a plane.
16. New Zealand
“Now, they say that New Zealand is beautiful and I do not know -- because after 22 hours on a plane any landmass would be beautiful.” -- Lewis Black, comedian

18. Airline food

"What is it they think we will do? Turn 'em all on full, run out into the parking lot, laughing, pushing each other into the bushes?”
