Michael Fassbender could do comedy well I think.

Watched it last night for the first time in 10 or so years and it is still hilarious. Favorite gag was when Frank was frisking that guy and just reaching over into his partner's pockets. "Hey this guy has a picture of your wife!"

By god he would be perfect for a Zucker bros style of comedy.

For anyone looking, all three Naked Gun movies are on Hulu Plus right now (in the U.S. at least).

I don't get this (English is not my first language) and it's driving me crazy. Can someone please explain?
It's not completely out of nowhere, that's one of the bits I love about the film; it escaped from the zoo when Frank drove the tank into it.
I know it's fashionable to bring up Idris Elba for every role that's discussed, pretty much, but the guy can do comedy
Another who's better than you might possibly expect is Daniel Craig

It's missing the best part, where both of them run out of ammo at the same time. The bad guy throws his gun at Drebin and misses. Drebin throws his own gun back and gets up to run away, only to realize that he just knocked the bad guy out.
I suppose builders have a bad reputation

Some of my all time favorite opening credit sequences in movies. Loved the films as well, eve though part 3 was the weakest. So weird that OJ Simpson played the character Nordburg in these movies when looking at things in retrospect. I was a kid when I saw these movies originally, back then I had no idea who OJ Simpson was. I didn't even know that he played Football.
Also the original Police Squad TV show that these movies were based on are still great to watch as well.
Leslie Neilson was great as the straight arrow an always clueless Frank Drebin.

I was talking to my girlfriend about the Naked Gun movies the other night and that same type of Airplane!/30 Rock humor, and I got to thinking - are there any animated movies or shows that have this same kind of deadpan/sight gag/word play/slapstick humor, or does it not really work in that medium?

Oooo that's very true, I completely forgot about those. Maybe Tiny Tunes too? She suggested Loony Tunes but that's more slapstick than word gags I feel? I mean there's probably some overlap but yeah Freakazoid and Animaniacs would be pretty good examples.
