After hearing the very sad news about Leslie Nielsen’s death yesterday, I felt it was only fitting to post a tribute to a great actor who, I realised as I was writing this, has been much more influential on comedy than I think any of us gave him credit for. Here then, are my favourite Nielsen moments.
1. Enrico Palazzo sings the National Anthem
2. Steeeeeriiiiiiiikke! Hey, Hey, Hey Hey!
3. And don’t call me Shirley
4. The Naked Gun Opening Credits
5. The Family Guy Spoof of The Naked Gun Opening Credits
Rest in peace, man. You will be missed.
