RIP

end of an era

So sad that his last few films were shit..

 

[MattPeters]

The train chase scene in wrongfully accused will always be my favorite scene of his.

 

[SketchTheArtist]

Wow....can't believe it. He was just so awesome in the Naked Gun series. Grew up watching him.

 

[Youta Mottenai]

This fucking sucks! :.(
Thank you for lots and lots of laughs sir.

 

[Pachinko]

He was in many great movies and many bad movies but he was always funny, sucks to hear about this but he was 84 years old. Lead a long and I'm sure enjoyable life.

Just glad I got to see him in person once before he passed away, even if it was for an awful movie like stan helsing(comic con panel), he still had the crowd going with his antics.

I agree , we all need to spend any mourning whatsoever watching classics such as airplane, police squad and naked gun.

 

[mil6es]

RIP man

 

[Aesthet1c]

Goodby Leslie.. thanks for all the laughs

 

[Vincent Alexander]

This sucks. Rest in peace to one of the funniest men around.

 

[BowieZ]

The train chase scene in wrongfully accused will always be my favorite scene of his.

:lol :lol :lol

I was in hysterics when it peered from behind the tree.

 

[Eel O'Brian]

He's in one of my favorite D-grade flicks from the 70s, Day of the Animals.

Observe, as Leslie Nielsen wrestles a bear:

[perfectchaos007]

I loved how no matter what his age, he always got the hot young 20 year olds to have sex with him ( in movies ) Leslie Neilsen was the shit. RIP

 

[picko]

RIP :-(

 

[Dead Man]

He was in many great movies and many bad movies but he was always funny, sucks to hear about this but he was 84 years old. Lead a long and I'm sure enjoyable life.

Just glad I got to see him in person once before he passed away, even if it was for an awful movie like stan helsing(comic con panel), he still had the crowd going with his antics.

I agree , we all need to spend any mourning whatsoever watching classics such as airplane, police squad and naked gun.

Yeah, he was in some dreadful movies, no doubt. He was always great though.

 

[EYEL1NER]

I'm really tempted to go out tomorrow and trying to track down a copy of Wrongfully Accused. Maybe I'll pick it up on Amazon right now.

 

[iamcenok]

Nooooo No no no no! That really blows.

R.I.P.

 

[moojito]

Bad times
Police squad is some of the finest comedy, even today.

 

[Fox318]

Rip
Fuck I loved watching him.

 

[NH Apache]

Fuck.

Rest in peace.

 

[Kitschkraft]

He was a funny man.

[SpectreFire]

What the fuck world.

What the fuck.

 

[NomarTyme]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP

 

[perfectchaos007]

According to IMDB he was working on a movie that was due out next year. I wonder if all his scenes were completed....

edit: nvm it was just for voice over work so who cares.

 

[Cloudius12]

RIP Mr. Magoo

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

This fucking sucks. I hope they air the Naked Gun movies again out of respect.

 

[fallengorn]

RIP Time for a Police Squad marathon.

 

[DrForester]

Sucks he died, but least it wasn't another young comedian death. 84 years.

 

[JMizzlin]

Was honestly dreading this day. He was one of my favourite people of all time.

:'(

 

[Spooks]

Just saw this on tumblr. Fucking sucks :\

R.I.P

 

[Socreges]

I can't think of anyone who had as good comedic timing or was able to so awesomely dead pan the silliest shit.

He had a great career (regardless of the shit he put out). I hope he realized how many fans he still had.

I currently have pneumonia

=[

Take care, but unless you're 84 years old or 4 years old I wouldn't worry too much.

 

[Calcaneus]

Man, I grew up on his movies, always loved his type of comedy.

 

[RiccochetJ]

His deadpan has yet to be rivaled.

Spoiler

I can't believe anyone has done this yet...

Leslie Nielsen dead? Surely you can't be serious.

Edit: apparently it was.

 

[Doytch]

Tough night for Saskatchewan.

 

[sc0la]

Surely, you can't be serious.

Spoiler

I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.

RIP

 

[elwes]

This is a sad day.

 

[Neo Samus]

So sad. At least he lived a long life. Here's to you Les. Cheers. *raises glass*

 

[whytemyke]

I picked a bad day to quit smoking crack.


RIP

 

[rexor0717]

Read as Liam Neeson, this isn't any less sad.

This.

 

[RS4-]

RIP. Scary enough he passed around the same time the Saskatchewan Roughrider lost the Grey Cup.

 

[Lonestar]

Fuck

Need a 21 Fart Machine Salute for Lt. Frank Drebin

 

[Jintor]

RIP man

I picked a bad day to quit sniffing glue :<

 

[Vyer]

Oh man, one of my favorites. RIP

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

I picked a bad day to quit smoking crack.


RIP

another coffee?

 

[Akainu]

Sucks.

 

[Socreges]

Tough night for Saskatchewan.

Didn't know he was from Regina. Is it safe to say that he's the only great thing to ever come out of that province (tiny as it is)?

 

[Alaskanbullworm]

He was a master at his brand of humor.

RIP

 

[Link1110]

Surely this sucks
And don't call me Shirley

 

[geeko]

Soooooo sad


RIP

 

[GhaleonEB]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

And for a non comedy role of his:

Yeah, I was just thinking of that. He was a good serious actor.

Sad to see him go. He had incredible comic timing.

 

[Relix]

My favorite funny actor of all time.Fuck.

 

[Cheesemeister]

Surely this is the worst news I've heard all month. T_T
