"We need to get this man to a hospital"

"A Hospital! What is it?"

"It's a large building with doctors and patients, but that's not important right now"

Captain Oveur: So Joey, you ever been in a cockpit before?

Joey: No sir, I've never been up in a plane before.

Captain Oveur: You ever seen a grown man naked?

[pedg]

Not a good year...

 

Frank: It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.

Jane: Goodyear?

Frank: No, the worst.

[thesaint sfc]

LOL

 

Roger Murdock: Flight 2-0-9'er, you are cleared for take-off.

Captain Oveur: Roger!

Roger Murdock: Huh?

Tower voice: L.A. departure frequency, 123 point 9'er.

Captain Oveur: Roger!

Roger Murdock: Huh?

Victor Basta: Request vector, over.

Captain Oveur: What?

Tower voice: Flight 2-0-9'er cleared for vector 324.

Roger Murdock: We have clearance, Clarence.

Captain Oveur: Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?

Tower voice: Tower's radio clearance, over!

Captain Oveur: That's Clarence Oveur. Over.

Tower voice: Over.

Captain Oveur: Roger.

Roger Murdock: Huh?

Tower voice: Roger, over!

Roger Murdock: What?

Captain Oveur: Huh?

Victor Basta: Who?

Shirley you cant be serious,

 

I am and stop calling me Shirley

[SuperMikey]

Terrible loss, one of the best comic actors to have ever lived.

 

RIP

[rallyboy]

great films, funny bloke, the king of deadpan delivery.

Must have taken forever to film some of those scenes.

 

I hope OJ has an alibi this time.

[SNSUN]

A comic genius, he will be missed. RIP

[Lighthouse]

Ted Striker: I flew single engine fighters in the Air Force, but this plane has four engines. It's an entirely different kind of flying altogether.

Rumack, Randy: [together] It's an entirely different kind of flying.

 

 

Rumack: What was it we had for dinner tonight?

Elaine Dickinson: Well, we had a choice of steak or fish.

Rumack: Yes, yes, I remember, I had lasagna.

 

R.I.P.

[Fowllyd]

A fabulous comic actor, though in his earlier years he played some romantic leads, such as Forbidden Planet, an excellent science fiction take on Shakespeare's Tempest.

But he'll be best remembered for his magnificent deadpan performances later in his career. RIP.

[Redbul]

"Nice beaver...."

 

Genuinely gutted when I saw this news, and equally gutted when Bexy plagiarised the hospital gag!!! Beat me to it by a country mile!!!

 

RIP, a true comedy legend.

[Sheaf Saint]

It's alright, he's not really dead....

 

[iansums]

Dutch Gunderson: Who are you and how did you get in here?

 

Frank Drebin: I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.

 

After seeing Airplane I couldn't watch The Poseidon Adventures without laughing.

[skintsaint]

RIP

 

[/url]Well, when I see five weirdos, dressed in togas, stabbing a man in the middle of the park in full view of a hundred people, I shoot the bastards, that's *my* policy!

 

- That was a Shakespeare-In-The-Park production of 'Julius Caesar,' you moron! You killed five actors! Good ones!

[gaz]

They've got to put a flashing red light on the coffin, and drive through the streets, through a ladies changing room, onto a rollercoaster, through a baseball field before crashing into the open grave. Its what he would have wanted.

 

RIP Leslie Nielsen, dead at 83 and 1/3.

 

Seriously though, such a good actor and deadpan comedy like his isn't the same today with the likes of Will Ferrell.

[Dog]

The bloke was a legend.

R.I.P. Funny Face.

There simply wasn't any other choice this evening.

 

Finish dinner, crack open a reasonable bottle of plonk and sit back and re-enjoy Naked Gun.

 

What's that? I can't hear you. stop shooting the gun while you're talking....

 

I know it's worng to commercialise these things but it would be one fantastic Christmas Present to get a boxed set of "Best of" Leslie Nielsen movies for Christmas.

Seriously though, such a good actor and deadpan comedy like his isn't the same today with the likes of Will Ferrell.

 

Good point. Completely different league from Will "****-acting" Farrell.

[Sheaf Saint]

There simply wasn't any other choice this evening.

 

Well, there was: we watched Airplane. But that's probably only because I don't own a copy of Naked Gun. I do have the DVD of Police Squad though, so perhaps we can watch all of that tomorrow night instead.

[Chez]

"Nice beaver...."

 

 

thanks, I just had it stuffed.

 

Never laughed so much as I did when I saw Naked Gun for the first time. Brilliant fun.

[skintsaint]

I did watch an episode of Police Squad last night as it had to be done.

 

Cigerette?

 

Yes it is.

 

well....

[Atticus Finch of Maycomb]

Nielsen - Do you really think you can beat the champ?

 

Boxer - I can beat him blindfolded.

 

Nielsen - Yeah, but what if he wasn't blindfolded?

 

Boxer - I can still beat him.

Neilsen carrying out a police raid...

 

female suspect .. "Is this some kind of bust?"

 

Neilsen (observing the lady's chest) .. "Very impressive madam, but back to the investigation".

 

They don't make 'em like that anymore. RIP Leslie, you made us laugh ...

[Durleyfos]

I loved the end of Police Squad when they all used to freeze as the credits would roll.

 

The baddies always got away!

[for_heaven's_Saint]

[Suhari]

Absolute legend; I never tire of watching his stuff.

 

Did some damn funny TV interviews too. Seemed like a genuine person too.

 

"We're sorry to bother you at such a time like this, Mrs. Twice. We would have come earlier, but your husband wasn't dead then."

 

RIP.

[CB Fry]

I loved the end of Police Squad when they all used to freeze as the credits would roll.

 

The baddies always got away!

 

 

It doesn't work written down, but I always giggle at the closing scene where they start pouring a coffee and Nordberg says "say when".

 

"Wh..."[closing theme and "freeze frame"].

 

As I say, it doens't make sense written down. But I, for one, am ****ing myself.
