rewatched this because of the news of a reboot, goddamn this might be the funniest movie ever made. I was in tears laughing like a retard from start to finish. Hot Shots might be a close 2nd.
>>212822034 (OP)Airplane is still the best.
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is funnier
>>212822034 (OP)It is a classic
I like the sequels too
Police Squad > Airplane > Naked Gun
But they're all top tier
I'm tempted to watch the reboot, even though i know it will be trash that cant hold a candle to the original Frank Drebin
second one was better. Third one was shit tho
>>212822156This is the show that was said to be "too sophisticated" for American audiences.
>>2128221943rd is the worst but still a good watch
>like a blind man at an orgy, I was going to have to feel things out
>>212822156>even though i know it will be trashso just watch critical drinker review or cinemasins and act like you watched it. Stop being a fucking chud, man
>>212822217The Looney Tunes style dirt piled on top of their heads does it for me during the prison breakout scenes.
If someone can't find that funny, their soul left their body long ago.
>>212822241Thats dumb. But i dont want to be the kind of guy "they" exploit - they take a franchise/movie that we loved and produce trash that is a reboot of it just to take my money using the IP
>>212822034 (OP)I came to this thread to say Naked Gun absolutely mops the floor with Airplane. textbook example of quality over quantity (joke-wise, not runtime)

>>212822102Loaded Weapon 1 is pretty good despite not having Leslie Nielsen
I just watched it again this weekend and I just realized Frank was pretty much an asshole in the first movie... For some reason I thought he was more friendly in the first movies but he was pretty obnoxious... Uh, I guess this somehow counts as a Mandela effect....

>>212822583ok, if you say so.
>>212822667you're complaining about a situation you can exit at any given moment
>>212822434Except Airplane has both quality and quantity. Trying to grandstand that has more "intelligent" humor over the other is the most midwit thing imaginable.
>>212822156That gag has ruined every shootout scene since.
I was shocked when i saw the trailer and it got an actual chuckle from me.
>>212822747Top secret is the best zaz movie.

Tyrone: You just watch your step, McGurke. This place here changes a man.
Frank Drebin: Yeah? In what way?
Tyrone: I used to be white. I was the drummer for the Osmonds.
Rocko Dillon: Screw around with me, and Tyrone here will make you feel pain that you'd never believe.
Frank Drebin: Yeah, I remember the Osmonds.
>>212822884Okay? It's literally a matter of subjective taste and which combination of machine gunning you with puns you prefer.
I simply can't get over the Airplane.
"Okay, boys, let's take some pictures"
Is the most perfectly executed joke ever put on film. In my opinion.
I can take him blindfolded!
What if he's not blindfolded?
I can still take him!

Yeah, I get we're getting a new Naked Gun movie with Qui-Gon leading... but the movie is in name only...it's never going to have that Leslie Nielson wit.
>>212823928>Leslie Nielson witYou mean Zucker bros wit
Neeson, I am pretty sure, will be able to deliver deadpan gags just fine.
The difference is that they are going to be very shitty and embarrassingly referential ones.

>>212826091it was commercial tv that came on at a certain time on a certain day that families watched together, which means parents were usually distracted by wrangling their kids for the couple of hours before bed time during and inbetween commercial breaks.
>>212826198>it came out during normal life>so it floppedNo. More like the show made people think and WE CAN'T HAVE THAT.
>>212825783There's a scene, for example, during which characters have to walk from one room to another. But Frank Drebin doesnt go through the door, but just goes around the wall (cause its a movie set, so the fourth wall isnt there, obviously). So he just casually breaks the fourth wall. If you werent paying attention, you dont notice anything happened,
why remake a film that has a perfect script and performances which has no chance of being replicated?
>>212825816Part of the charm is that every joke is delivered equally, that is to say that there is no acknowledgement of any joke at all.
They just say it, or they show it, and they move on. Theres no big fuss or buildup or reward for the funnier jokes

The TV show Police Squad! with Nielsen that the movies are based on is really good and has a lot of jokes that are funnier and more clever than the movies. It only had six or so episodes before it was cancelled in the 80s and turned into The Naked Gun movie series. All the episodes are or were available on youtube.

>>212822467It was. Top Secret and Johnny Dangerously are the same kind of humor and not bad also.
Why do Baltic people who immigrate to the US love Airplane, The Naked Gun series, Hot Shots, and other such comedies?
>>212842607I watched it years ago as a teenager and thought it was funny. Not sure if it holds up. I remember the guys carrying the glass across the street had me laughing a lot
>>212842685I think zany slapstick humor translates better than more situational culture focused humor like Seinfeld. A show like Seinfeld is funny if you understand the culture and its peculiarities. Leslie Nielsen accidentally humping the Queen of England is funny no matter where you're from.
>>212842685Thete aren't that many. You've got Spy Hard, Spaceballs and Top Secret. That's about it, as far as I know. Don't know if I should count the scary movies.
>>212825783The actual reason is, that Police Squad is a show that benefits from multiple viewings because of the sheer count of all the gags going on in the background as well as on the foregound. It was never a show that was meant for live TV and when it came out, there still wasn't a convinient way for the audiences to return to an episode.
It wasn's as much as too sophisticated, but too ahead of its time in a way it should be watched to be fully enjoyed.

You guys should watch some Dragnet, Naked City, Felony Squad, a lot of Drebin's character is playing off of 50s-60s cops shows. Dragnet's fast-paced deadpan dialogue in particular has been parodied a lot.

>>212843206The zoom before this shot does it for me.

>>212844739>>212844873>the liam neeson one?I don't know. I watched the trailer. Looked like it had a few good gags. Its hard to convey the humor of the Naked Gun in a trailer since a lot of the humor comes from the constant random sight gag chaos in the background or the comedy of errors scenes where everything just progressively goes to shit. That's the key to the series, if its just walking from one gag to the next without the random chaos in between or setting up scenes where the gags all lead into each other as anarchy takes over then its not gonna work.
I like Neeson though and I think he can pull of comedy even if he lacks Liam Neeson's absolute mastery of deadpan delivery and his endearingly goofy expressions. I'll give it a chance, I honestly hope it doesn't suck.

>>212845049leslie nielsen was the glue that held it all together, you can't even look at the guy without laughing whatever he does in a scene. liam neeson has been in so many films i've seen but i don't think i've once laughed at something he's read.
>>212833394>Oh, no!Fucking classic.
>>212842685Just wait until you find out their love for Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill.
Are they just using Liam Neeson because his name somewhat resembles Leslie Nielsen? Because if so that’s actually pretty funny
Top Secret is my favorite but I love Naked Gun. Comedy these days is by far the weakest genre. ZAZ films are a constant onslaught of jokes and gags, whereas today the focus is on awkward scenarios and millenial writers' vindication fantasies.
What do you guys think is the trick with jokes and pop cultural references? Ideally you would want them to work without knowing the reference, it took me years to get that this was referencing Inspector Callaghan.

>>212845060animated!
>>212845872His scene in Life's Too Short demonstrates a similar kind of deadpan humour
>>212845959>animated!Thanks anon. Saved.
>>212822034 (OP)the new one is being promoted with fart jokes and pinching your butt so you dont poop your pants. it looks genuinely awful
>>212836712>L.t stands at the door of an apartment where an old man was killed Careful Boss, it's like a crime scene in there.
From what I can tell Neeson is doing the overly hardass cop bit stuck in a comedy movie. I think that could work but I don't have faith in Mcfarland.
>>212847457Mcfarland is just good enough to give us a couple of funny scenes or jokes while most others will fall flat. At least he isn't too proud to take influences from older material.

>>212822405The running gag of Drebin hitting something every time he parks always made me laugh
I feel like making fun of action movies is harder these days, because many of them can grace the absurd.
John Wick is special because all the stunt work is done in a way that it makes you believe that what they are doing is credible, but it still has silly stuff like John Falling down all those stairs or down a building crashing into multiple things or getting shot multiple times or the subway silencer scene, (which by the way was inspired by the fact that when inspecting locations one of the crew people fell and people just walked around/over him and ignored him)
>>212840069Listen Betty, don't start up with your "white zone" shit again...
>>212840128He wasn't a comedic actor. He was a classic actor, which is why he was so good at delivering his lines. He treated the material as if it were serious, and just did what he had always done.
>>212825783I think there is also a story out there that the writers etc. were partly relieved since they were running out of material
>>212822373Naked Gun was spoofing a lot of cliches from midcentury TV shows (like the stoolie or how they made cheapo gunfights) so I wondered if the Liam Neeson one will use Law and Order type shit that has been everywhere since the '90s as the basis for jokes. But from the stuff they've shown I haven't seen anything like that.
>>212834586jeez those stunts look damn dangerous these days

>>212829628>I'm tempted too, I did get a chuckle from the trailer with the bit where they are all looking up at pics of their dads and crying and then it cuts to OJThat one was legitimately funny, I admit. Still only going to pirate it and I fully expect to hate it.
i smiled a few times but never laughed
rat race by the same guy is truly awful most of the time but then it has some hilarious scenes
>>212823120Frank!
Drebin!
You’re both right!
Wanted to see if I could find it in italian to download since going downstairs to the tv is annoying, and I noticed the Airplane BR has a commentary track, anyone ever listened to it?
>>212832481Because of YOU, the entire city is overrun by baboons!
Isn’t that the voters’ fault?
>>212834586In the German dub, they add some background discussion as Frank tells the officer to jot down the names of the witnesses. The black guy gives his name as Whitey Whiteman.
Was really disappointed to notice that that was not an original joke.
>>212842822Which was supposedly even ad-libbed by Nielsen on set.
>>212851529I don't remember the names but they do the same thing in the italian dub.
I like the emphasis on the words they put on Inspector Callaghan spoof (dubbed).
>>212822217didn't the 3rd one have the joke where he's undercover at a prison and he comments it's like being at a Raiders game
>>212851704it's not really a joke though
>>212837540For me, it is Loaded Weapon.
>>212844984I don't think so

>>212824742god damn that's funny
>>212854185I wonder how they time these things
is there a guy yelling out one two three for kilmer and the camera to keep sync
>>212822034 (OP)Its entertaining but its not that funny overalll
>>212854185>>212854394What is that name for this trope, where something doesnt exist until it shows up in the camera frame?
>>212825783There was this huge, focused push to purge rural depictions and push dumbed down shit through the 70's-80's. Jerry Springer wasn't a symptom of the decline, it was the cancer metastasizing.
>>212829940This is like one of my favorite movie scenes of all time. For me, this scene is pure genius!
>>212855320I see what you did there
Very nice
>>212844026Comedy and parody films in general are dead. It's partially because popular culture moves so fast that anything you try to parody is old news. Also writers are abysmal these days and you can't make jokes about anything/anyone since someone on twitter will get angry about it. It's also impossible to make any sort of absurd comedy that's on par with freaking real life with Trump being president and all that insanity.
>>212848756ive never liked this even when i was little and this stuff was being made i never found it funny
>/tv/ dislikes quippy marvel trash
>loves quippy le old in your face comedy
Lmao buncha hypocrites

>>212855587I agree with you here, I also think that parody is very hard to do in a culture where we keep rebooting things endlessly and notalgiabaiting people. How is there room for parodying a genre when we never move on from it? Parody generally works best when it is towards the end of a genre/niche's lifespan, but when we are keeping everything on eternal life support, there is no natural cycle of sincerity and comedic self awareness.
Also, it's hard to parody Superman when the actual Superman movie that has come out is borderline parodying itself. Modern pop culture is already so meta that it makes parody redundant.
>>212855826The Naked Gun has actual jokes with set ups and pay offs, not just le witty quips. It also has a ton of S tier physical comedy.
>>212855826What does "quippy" mean anon?
>>212822034 (OP)>Hot Shots might be a close 2nd.I think you may need to rewatch this one too, because unlike The Naked Gun, it doesn't hold up. It's a shitty spoof movie, it has a few really good gags though but overall its weak
>>212822034 (OP)>>212822054>>212822084>>212822102>>212822156If you guys like movies like this you should check out Scary Movie or Not Another Teen Movie its f*cking hilarious
Loaded Weapon 1 is the most underrated spoof movie ever made.
Solid gold, I recommend it to everyone
>>212822034 (OP)It's amazing, yeah. You can tell how much fun they must have had making it because they cram so much shit into it, like every single moment in the fucking movie is a joke or visual gag, it's constant.
You should watch the tv show that came out before it "Police Squad"
>>212822701This paid shill is mad as fuck lmao
>>212822054I love both movies, so I'm going to be honest with you.
Airplane is a great movie, but it really suffered from the years passing by. It simply got old, same thing happened to many great comedies like Frankenstein Junior and many other mel brooks classics.
Naked Gun is simply the GOAT of comedies. You simply can't top it, the jokes in there will always be funny, now, then and 50 years from now.
>>212856679There is zero cultural imprint of the stuff Airplane is parodying anymore besides Airplane itself. Nobody under 65 has seen Airport or other '70s disaster movies
Anyone that likes Leslie Nielsen and the Zucker stuff should honestly watch Arrested Development
It may be slightly more cerebral but that show is basically like a more grounded version of what the Zucker films were. Just as layered and full of visual gags. Obviously not an obscure show or anything but I never really see it compared to stuff like The Naked Gun.
>>212842614Shame David Zucker lost his mind and tried to make republican comedy.
>>212824814I remember being a kid and watching the movie for the first time, when the bits with the tiger and the guys head flying off I started laughing so hard I got cramps in my abs.
These movies are just gold.
>Named Gun Reboot
Is this going to be a huge flop? Boomer humour won't work in the modern era
>>212822034 (OP)The scene at the docks where him and the dock worker keep re-bribing each other with the same $20 is some of the funniest shit I have ever scene
>>212857050naked gun humor is universal and timeless, the movie will always be funny
Is Dracula Dead and Loving it really as bad as people say? I haven't seen it but how could the duo of Mel Brooks and Leslie Nielsen fail?
>>212838647They need a win after fucking up star trek
>>212856870I hated the "normal person makes a face at antics of crazy person" cutaway they used once an episode
>>212833394the fucking wet paint
Jesus
>>212856870By chance is that the one with the "Get the L off my lawn" bit?
>>212822034 (OP)Super fucking based Naked Gun thread, OP. Well done. Stuff like this is why I keep coming back to this shithole.
>>212857137i liked it. it is a Leslie Nielsen movie.
I loved these scene, if you dont care about spoiler:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKbr8arXVJM
Some of the clips of these movies have stunts that kinda look dangerous as hell from 2025 CGI hell. like I can't imagine hollywood filming the underwater fight scene shit with a young star like val actually doing stunts
>>212851580How can it be ad-libbed when she literally brings out a taxidermied beaver?
>>212822574What really makes this scene is the horrified look on the other guy, if they were both laughing it would have hit way different, the disturbed guy makes it relatable to everyone especially those guys who had that one sick friend who liked showing you the videos of dead people.
>>212822467>>212852765>>212856418Based loaded weapon appreciators, great spoof flick

>>212857137It has its moments.
>>212830017>Obvious ragdolls always make me laugh Weekend at bernies is the greatest ragdoll film ever. The whole film they are carrying around a dead body with them, but the dragging the corpse behind the boat scene is the best:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jzzrFFivBKk&pp=0gcJCfwAo7VqN5tD
>>212858573Weekend at Bernies is great, we rented it so many times as a kid.
>>212856418>Narco is sending one of their burned-out psychos to assist on the case.
