Especially if I saw my plane out the terminal window looked like these:

I have been told of a pilot back in the 1950s and '60s who used to walk through the plane conversing with passengers while carrying a book with the title clearly on display, How To Fly. At other times he would carry a red tipped white cane and tap his way down the aisle.
Kulula airlines also seems to have a little jocularity among the members of the flight crew:
Thank you, but I think I'll walk.“Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds but we’ll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more than Kulula Airlines.”
“That was quite a bump and I know what y’all are thinking. I’m here to tell you it wasn’t the airline’s fault, it wasn’t the pilot’s fault, it wasn’t the flight attendant’s fault, it was the asphault.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Mother City. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what’s left of our airplane to the gate.”
“Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted.”
