This sucks

RIP.

This. Hell, you can even buy it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H7JCFK/?tag=neogaf0e-20 Fantastic series. It's basically a TV version of Naked Gun...before Naked Gun.

He will surely be missed. As someone said, this calls for a Naked Gun/Airplane/Police Squad marathon of watching.

It's better than Naked Gun. Every episode is like a whole Naked Gun movie condensed and distilled into pure comedy gold. Even the opening and closing credits are funny. And I like how Drebin is more deadpan in it.

 

[SolsticeZero]

Man, this really sucks. Airplane and The Naked Gun are two of my all time favorite movies. He will surely be missed.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

he was legally deaf. Didn't know it

[Escape Goat]

I just wanted to say good luck and we're all counting on you.

 

[Clydefrog]

This really saddens me. Celebrity deaths don't usually do this to me. RIP, Mr. Nielsen.

Frobisher: "Great Scott! That's enough to kill a man."
Thatcher: "...or a woman."
Frobisher: "Well, I don't know what it takes to kill a woman."

I will miss you, Sgt. Frobisher. Peace be with you as you ride your horse across those blue Alberta skies.

 

[TreIII]

Really sad. I even liked this movie:

Knowing him, Mr. Nielsen is now truly "Dead and Loving It". :lol

*pours one for a homie who made me and my father laugh so much*

 

[linkboy]

Leslie Nielson is up there with Roy Schieder as one of my favorite actors of all time.

RIP Leslie.

 

[friskykillface]

RIP Leslie.

Read as Rob Schneider was about to find a nice insulting .gif :lol

 

[Deleted member 1159]

+1 "Read as Liam Neeson camp." Glad it wasn't him, but still sad

 

[Tashi]

Major bummer here. I loved his movies.

RIP

 

[DrEvil]

Lame.

 

[Drewsky]

Oh hell no, this sucks.

 

[GDGF]

Just found out about this

 

[Big-E]

I too read it as Liam Neeson but this is at least as bad. Canadian icon who will be missed.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Well that sucks. : (

I've seen him in Airplane but I remember him most as the narrator of Katie and Orbie which I used to watch as a kid.

RIP Mr. Nielsen.

Now this site's reporting that B.B. King is dead. I can't find anything else confirming it, but that would be two awesome entertainers in one day.

Edit: I think the site was lying. There's nothing else about it anywhere.

 

[godhandiscen]

I love the Naked Gun series. RIP.

It's not even mentioned on Twitter...

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

It's not even mentioned on Twitter...

Yeah, I Googled it, and nothing else comes up except for that site. I think it's B.S.

 

[MWS Natural]

How do you get pneumonia in Ft. Lauderdale?

 

[jambo]

I hope it's BS =[

 

[Rabid Wolverine]

So Sad

One of my favorite comedian actors.

His slap scene in Airplane always cracks me up.

^ Couldn't find an English version, still hilarious.

RIP!

 

[Marvie_3]

Fuck.

 

[Ridli]

Frank? NO!

I'm very sad now. Need to watch some Naked Gun and Airplane

 

[hsin]

Don't forget about shirtless asshole Leslie Nielson:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYf9BSTpNq8

Damn he's CRAZY in this.

And DAMN, he was a handsome chap!

 

[MidnightScott]

Rest in Peace!

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

That sucks. Rest in peace. Funny dude.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Rumack: Captain, how soon can you land?

Captain Oveur: I can't tell.

Rumack: You can tell me. I'm a doctor.

Captain Oveur: No. I mean I'm just not sure.

Rumack: Well, can't you take a guess?

Captain Oveur: Well, not for another two hours.

Rumack: You can't take a guess for another two hours?

 

[Infinite Justice]

NOOOOOOOO!



RIP Man

 

[Future]

Rumack: Captain, how soon can you land?

Captain Oveur: I can't tell.

Rumack: You can tell me. I'm a doctor.

Captain Oveur: No. I mean I'm just not sure.

Rumack: Well, can't you take a guess?

Captain Oveur: Well, not for another two hours.

Rumack: You can't take a guess for another two hours?

The best part of these lines is the deadpan delivery. He'd be saying crazy shit and not crack a smile. I loved it. RIP

 

[Ninja Scooter]

i liked Spy Hard. The part during a fight scene where he tags in Hulk Hogan made me lose my shit as a kid.

 

[bigswords]

Damn....loved the naked gun series.

RIP

 

[Advance_Alarm]

he was funny as fuck. rip bro

 

[theinfinityissue]

Mel Brooks outlived Leslie Nielsen, somewhere a moderately esoteric bet was lost.

The guy did what he loved into his 80's, we should be half as lucky.

 

[LordAlu]

R.I.P. Leslie

 

[Blablurn]

this sucks RIP!!

 

[TestMonkey]

R.I.P. Mr. Magoo.

 

[MilesWebber]

First Bea Arthur, now Bea Arthur's fake husband from the Golden Girls? This is madness! Who's next?

This is sad news.

I forgive you for Scary Movie 4, Leslie.

 

[opticalmace]

FUCK! I loved this guy.

 

[Flambe]

Fucking sucks, RIP

 

[Kurtofan]

Wow so sudden.
RIP.

 

[OnkelC]

RIP

 

[jambo]

Damn he's CRAZY in this.

And DAMN, he was a handsome chap!

Getting a Daniel Craig vibe from that picture.

Also would.
