I love Angie Tribeca and it's the only thing we have like this now which sucks, we need more of this!

It's more a reference to The Crying Game, but yeah the idea of it doesn't really hold up.

Had no idea the trilogy was out on Blu-ray. I'll have to pick it up. $5 a piece for some of the best comedies ever is a steal.

Probably my favorite scene of the whole series. I quote it all the time!

Enrico Palazzo just saved the day!
Funniest scene that as a child I knew nothing about.
This never gets old. I Whatsapp it to friends all the time when someone mentions picking up or being safe.
Amazing series of movies, never fail to make me laugh.
I was curious if this had been gif'd before. Excellent.

Hilarious movies, very sharply written and directed. Leslie Nielsen is a legend, I really miss him.

I think he was the first celebrity death that I remember really affecting me, the next which was the hardest was Rik Mayal.
Both of them were instrumental in shaping my families humour growing up, I remember finding out about Riks death and being in tears on the phone to my wife while coming home from work on the train. She also felt that he was her spirit animal too so she was really upset.
Yeah he was in a real series of parody movies in later years. None of them came close to Zucker quality though.

Yes! I laugh my ass off every time.
Absolutely some of the finest comedy out there for this genre. It doesn't shoot for the obvious low hanging fruit.
Also equally enjoyable with the commentary track. Them all talking and laughing about the behind the scenes actually can be as funny as the film's themselves (2 especially).

One of my favorite exchanges from 2nd movie:
The straight delivery on the final line kills me.

Naked Gun and Police Squad are arguably the funniest spoof comedies ever put on screen.

Oh man I looooooooooooooooooooooove those movies. Leslie Nielsen was GOAT. And his birthday is the same as mine
I also love the Hot Shots! Movies. And Loaded Weapon 1.

Given my love for the Naked Gun movies and Police Squad, Angie Tribeca was basically made for me...and yet I can't stand it. I dunno what it is.

Black Dynamite is my favorite latter day spoof. I can easily recommend it to any Naked Gun lover.
But yeah, the series is pretty friggin great. So many genius, tossed off lines. And Nielsen really did have one of the best deadpan deliveries of all time, guy was a natural.

Naked gun is goat, but Loaded Weapon is pretty awesome in and of itself.

The first 2 movies are so fucking good. I'd kill for some new proper parody movies, but apparently it's a lost art; nobody understands the genre anymore it seems.
/edit: as a more recent recommendation I'd say a Touch of Cloth is pretty great. The first and third show especially , the second one was only ok.

I love Rashida, but I don't think she quite gets it. Gotta play it straight / deadpan everything in this style of comedy. She tries, but can't help but giving it a little too much ham.

This trilogy is so good, the first being one of my favourite films of all time.
I mandate that no Gaffer will rest until we've recommended it to everyone, now let's grab a bite to eat.

Yup!
Haha and the end titles where they just freeze in place while everyone else carries on.
The thing that annoys me is that I grew up with these movies and Airplane and I suppose shaped a lot of my sense of humour. But now whenever I bust out a joke or line from the movie younger people accuse me of making dad jokes. I'm not even a dad!
