I flew a few legs with a CA who made long, painful, never ending, "funny" PAs that made me want to eat a gun. Could barely hear them but still brutal.
Was completely little taken aback at the 10-15 deplaning pax who took the time to thank him for his funny PAs.
Im in the short, sweet and to the point group.

Absolutely not. Short and sweet is plenty sufficient for the folks who appreciate a PA... I was by no means advocating long or dooshy announcements. And any mention of what you flew in the AF or lame humor is dooshy. Except SWA, they can get away with humor sometimes. Maybe.

Always a fan of minimum PAs myself except in the summer when flying in Alaska. Since a majority of the passengers were vacationers it was nice to point out geographic interest items like glaciers, mountain ranges, etc. On a clear day even the business travelers appreciated that.
You don't have to do 25 minutes on Mt. St. Helens (heard that once!). Just a simple "On the right a nice view of the Malaspina Glacier" suffices.

Some guys are just in their own little bubble sitting up front. Just no SA on what’s going on in the back.
It’s one of the reasons I enjoy being a captain. No listening to guys babbling on the PA making us both look like clowns.

Anderson Cooper for TOTD
Years ago a captain passed in flight, Cooper asked if the plane was in danger of crashing. Today he asked the two guys who stopped the TX shooter, "knowing what you know now, would you do it over again?"

As a 777 FO, I always wanted to make the following PA,
"Welcome aboard, blah, blah, blah..........., now sit back, relax and enjoy our Flagship Flight Attendants cumulative 500 years of service experience."
For some reason, they never let me touch the microphone.
