WATCH: Jimmy Kimmel has created a brutally honest United Airlines advert

He went there…

Jimmy Kimmel hasn’t held back in his two cents on the recent United Airlines controversy.

The airline created headlines recently for an incident that occurred on one of their flights on Sunday.

They overbooked one of their flights, but still wished to bring four of their staff on the flight to transport them to another airport, but to do this, they needed to free up four seats.

The airline asked for volunteers to give up their seats for the airline staff, offering $400 in return and then when no one came forward, $800 per passenger. When still no one came forward, the airline selected four people at random.

Three of the passengers grudgingly gave up their seats, while one said he was a doctor and needed to be at his hospital on Monday to treat patients, and refused to give up his seat.

At this point, the passenger was forcibly removed from his seat.

Kimmel decided to create “an honest” advert for United Airlines with the official line being, “We’ll beat you so badly you’ll be using your own face as a flotation device.”

Take a look below…
