My favourite of all of those is the 'Autoland very rough'. .... 'Autoland not installed'.
An autoland approach is hands off, autopilot engaged approach and landing. The Radar altimeter senses the closing runway starting at about 20 feet, and does a 'preflare' and 'flare' manuver that makes a fairly nice landing, even applying the brakes, retarding the throttles to idle, and deploying the spoilers.
The thought of that last part (starting at 'preflare') missing is the hilarious part. I guess because I can picture it.
