I decided to re-watch The Naked Gun series-I think they're some of the funniest movies ever. That said-as an adult there's so many jokes that I've caught that flew over my head as a kid-like this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Oj5mCNXxLY

Jane: How could you do something so vicious?
Vincent Ludwig: It was easy my dear. You forget, I spent two years as a building contractor.

 

[Dai101]

Nice beaver.

 

[DaBargainHunta]

I just rewatched these recently after getting the Blu-ray set, and they still hold up. Awesome movies!

 

[Fudgepuppy]

Naked Gun, Top Secret, Airplane, Hot Shots etc. will never not make me laugh. I giggle like a child every time I watch them.

 

[moggio]

Don't forget Police Squad! which is also excellent.

 

[TheGrue]

Enrico Pallazzo! Enrico Pallazzo!

 

[Sesuadra]

my father and I watched it every time it was on TV

One of the few good memories I've of my childhood with him.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

 

[Platy]

The tv series is better.

It avoids the transphobic joke on the third one, for example

Even if, for the standards of the time, it is a small transphobic joke, it is fast and the joke easily turns into him pucking on the instrument and fucking up the orchestra

"Drebin, I don't want any more trouble like you had last year on the south side. Understand? That's my policy."
"Yes. Well, when I see 5 weirdos dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of 100 people, I shoot the bastards. That's my policy."
"That was a Shakespeare in the Park production of Julius Caesar, you moron! You killed 5 actors! Good ones!"

This exchange cracks me up all the time.

 

[Dalek]

Don't forget Police Squad! which is also excellent.

Hilarious show.

 

[SpecX]

Love this series. Was just flipping through channels the other night and saw all 3 were on demand, so got through 1 and 2 1/2 in 1 sitting.

 

[louiedog]

That driving school car chase is pretty great.

Go for it, Stephanie!

Don't forget Police Squad! which is also excellent.

Is this a bust?

Just after that were he walks her up the steps has me laughing like a loon. Well the whole film does.

Man I miss Leslie Nielsen

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

I really miss this type of comedy

 

[AndyVirus]

(I realize he says it before he picks it up)

 

[Dalek]

I really miss this type of comedy

Yeah I was blown away to learn it's been nearly 30 years since the first one-and this particular genre is just gone.

 

[Your Entertainer]

I faked every orgasm

 

[moggio]

Is this a bust?

Yes it's very impressive, but we'd just like to ask a few questions.

 

[chrisPjelly]

Man, as much shit as Scary Movie 3 and 4 get, I looooved that they made Leslie Nelson play the same character in those movies.

 

[Santiako]

This exchange might be my favourite movie moment ever:

Maybe this will help ...

So good.

 

[Fersis]

Yeah I was blown away to learn it's been nearly 30 years since the first one-and this particular genre is just gone.

The closest thing i've seen in this style nowadays is Angie Tribeca.
Though i've only seen like 2 episodes.

 

[3rdman]

You need to add Scary Movie 3 to that list...same guys and it's got a great cast.

 

[chubigans]

The best trilogy ever. So glad the remake with Ed Helms apparently didn't pan out.

"Hey Frank! We got that D-83 Suregrip Swedish Suck Machine in that you ordered!"
"It's a gift."

 

[Appleman]

Nice beaver.

Just had it stuffed

 

[Cormano]

Love those movies.

 

[Invictus]

Don't forget Kentucky Fried Movie!

 

[Ricky_R]

Awesome movies. Won't forget one of my favorite scenes in the entire series.

BINGO

[HellforLeather]

When Nordberg gets shot and hes fumbling around the boat before falling over...I die every time.

These movies are the friggin best, some of my favorite comedies of all time.

 

[louiedog]

The Naked Gun is probably the second funniest movie ever.

 

[Lagamorph]

A touch of Cloth is like a British version of Police Squad, see if you can check it out.

When Nordberg gets shot and hes fumbling around the boat before falling over...I die every time.

These movies are the friggin best, some of my favorite comedies of all time.

What gets me more is the guy who does actually drop his gun.

I've only seen the first season. A few of the jokes seem to drag on a lot longer than they would in The Naked Gun, but in general I thought it was pretty good.

 

[Citizen Mane]

No, the other side.

 

[NealMcCauley]

I faked every orgasm

Funny Face!

 

[HellforLeather]

 

[Euphony]

Amazing series of movies, never fail to make me laugh.

 

[The Real Abed]

Maybe this will help ...

So good.

Best part is Frank comes out $20 ahead in the end.

 

[the_firewithin]

Great classic movies

 

[asagami_]

Top Secret is one of my favorites movies (and I liked Airplane), but I don't know why I haven't watched The Naked Gun or Police Squad!. I should take care of this.

 

[Timu]

I loved those movies, some of my fave parody movies out there!

 

[HellforLeather]

 

[Mac the KNife]

Don't forget Police Squad! which is also excellent.

Yup!

 

[Warm Machine]

In case you didn't know its a reference to The Crying Game.

 

[HellforLeather]

You'd think this gif would get more traction around here

 

[shandy706]

I miss quality spoof movies.

 

[nicanica]

Funniest scene that as a child I knew nothing about.

 

[Dirtyshubb]

When Nordberg gets shot and hes fumbling around the boat before falling over...I die every time.

These movies are the friggin best, some of my favorite comedies of all time.

It's him getting paint on his jacket as the final insult that gets me every time.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Loved Police Squad and the Naked Gun movies.

Made me appreciate Angie Tribeca more, especially with Leslie gone now.

 

[KaiserBecks]

I LOVE the expression on Leslie Nielsen's face after the trooper opens fire. It's a shame the gif is a bit short, the best part of this scene (at least to me) is Frank just shooting randomly at the house as well.

 

[Sanjuro]

It's secretly the best baseball movie too.
