Oh tis a sad sad sad day. A very sad day indeed, as one of the funniest deadpan comedian actor of our time has finally kicked the bucket. (knowing Leslie’s characters, he probably got his foot caught in the bucket before hand and bumbled around for a while).
I loved the movies and characters performed by Leslie Nielsen. I LOVE deadpan, and his deadpan jokes were simply leaps and bounds better than anyone else. The Naked Gun trilogy is, without a doubt, the funniest movie trilogy that I’ve ever seen, and to me one other the great trilogies overall. Airplane! (his first real comedic role) is one of the funniest movies of all time, and contained lines that have become infamous. One such line being:
The Naked Gun….well, I already stated how awesome the movie is, but yeah, it was awesome. Another favorite movie of mine was Wrongfully Accused.
Anyway, I’m going to keep this short. I for one, can only hope that every tv station plays Leslie Nielsen movies on repeat for days on end to celebrate the life of one of the greatest comedic deadpan actor in history. He will be missed.
