South West Flight Attendant: The hilarious routine of Southwest airlines flight attendant was posted to YouTube. The comedic safety instructions announcement has gone viral after it has been uploaded online. Currently, the video gathered 12 million views.

Martha Cobb, the woman responsible for the hilarious clip, deviated from the usual rant announcing at first, "If we could pretend to have your attention for just a few moments, my ex-husband, my new boyfriend and their divorce attorney are going to show you the safety features," she begins. She then moves to seat-belt operation. "Position your seat belt tight and low across your hips, like my grandmother wears her support bra. "The Houston-based flight attendant known as Marty is gaining national attention thanks to a YouTube video that shows her comedic twist on the routine briefing before take-off, according to Yahoo.

Cobb denotes the floor lighting as "disco lights," the safety information card as a "door prize" and the life jacket as a "teeny, weeny, yellow Southwest bikini." Yahoo said that it is a routine she perfected over a couple of years, and she finally decided to record and upload it online.

According to report, Cobb said that "I learned it a certain way, saying funny things here and there. We had an extra flight attendant uniformed. While we were at the gate, we gave the pilots a heads-up, and she was nice enough to film it for us."

Brad Hawkins, a spokesperson for Southwest told Yahoo, "We're always trying to make the flying experience something other than what people might dread. Flying can be tough, with security and everything. You saw how engaged those people were."

The passengers clapped and cheered for Cobb after her safety talk. The response since the video went online has overwhelmed the flight attendant. Her skit has had over five million views since it was uploaded on Saturday.

Cobb said, "I have no words. It is beyond my comprehension. I'm not trying to be dramatic, but I'm humbled."

"I was trying to be a Brazilian swimsuit model, but that didn't work out. I went to school for restaurant and hotel management. Now I'm tossing out Coke and peanuts. How'd that work out?" she said and added that she has no background in stand-up comedy.

"SWA gave Cobb a few days off to gather herself and grant a few media interviews. As stated in the video description online, she wants to meet Ellen DeGeneres or Jimmy Fallon, but she has not heard from either yet. Cobb told us she wouldn't mind meeting Kathie Lee or Hoda, either. Maybe instead of a flight toward Salt Lake City, her next routine will be en route to the Big Apple,' Yahoo News stated.
