The Naked Gun has ruined The National Anthem for me
« on: May 07, 2012, 10:55:02 AM »
It's been nearly 25 years, and I still chuckle to myself at random times every time I am at a sporting event and it is played.  Just last week at the Blues/Kings playoff game, at one point, I was smiling to myself and my cousin turned to me and simply said, "Naked Gun?"  I nodded and we both did our best to not laugh out loud.

Well, give the guy a break.  He was Canadian.  It's not like you guys know our anthem or anything!

Best one liner in history though...

RIP Leslie.

I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

All three Naked Gun flicks are great, although the first is obviously the best.  I'd call The Naked Gun one of the best comedies ever, yet it often seems to get overlooked when people talk about the all-time greats.

youtube is blocked where I work, but I don't have to see any of these clips to start laughing. I about died when he called that third strike before it even crossed the plate. Can't believe it has been 25 years!

I love ZAZ's humor, and Airplane! will always be my #1 top comedy. Naked Gun being #1a.

Leslie Nielsen has made several funny movies. The comedy may be simple, but it makes me laugh every time.  :lol
While this one isn't from The Naked Gun, it's one of those "so simple that it makes me lol"-scenes. It's from Spy Hard:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=cmBwYTvjHCU#t=113s

For those who cba to watch the clip, it's the dialogue that goes like this:

Female assassin: "You're gonna look like swiss cheese when I'm done with you"
Leslie Nielsen: "Ah, that's no Gouda"

Naked Gun and Naked Gun 2 1/2 are some of the greatest comedies ever made.

All of the gags are so well done.

It ruined baseball for me, because baseball will never be as entertaining as Frank Drebin.

Never seen any of the Naked Gun movies but that line was fantastic: "Home of the land, and the land of the free".

There was a worse performance in real life.
Audio's fine, but the video's fucked up until about 36 seconds in.

This, however, gets my vote for the best rendition.
