Jimmy Kimmel is not above spoofing the United Airlines debacle with his tried and true Matt Damon joke.
Following the videos that showed officers forcibly dragging a passenger off an overbooked flight, the Jimmy Kimmel Live host told the audience the airline tapped a major celebrity spokesperson for a new ad.
Naturally, it was his arch enemy Damon, always happy to play the target of the never-ending gag about Kimmel bumping him from his show.
“We’re United Airlines,” he began his voiceover before taking an emotional detour. “You know what? No, no, I can’t do this anymore because I know what it’s like to get bumped. Trust me, I’ve been getting bumped from Jimmy’s show for the past eight years and it takes a toll….We deserve to be treated with dignity, not told night after night, ‘Oh, there’s somebody more important so take a hike.’”
As is Kimmel-Damon tradition, the Great Wall actor didn’t last long. Kimmel “hauls” him out of the spoof via voiceover. “In some cases, some people deserved to get bumped,” Kimmel said.
