Leslie Nielsen Tribute - Police Squad 

This episode has one of my favourite lines from anything ever "I'm sorry to bother you at a time like his Mrs Twice. We would have come earlier but your husband wasn't dead then."

No one ever went broke by underestimating the intelligence of their audience. Nowhere is this more apparent than here. This gem got cancelled after 6 episodes simply because the jokes went over people's heads. And it's only gotten worse since. A tragedy.

I love that random handshake with Sgt Takeraway and Sgt Bookher. Classic. Along with the rest

"its the same MO as the others" this is the funniest line, just the thought that this specific scenario has happend multiple times before is hilarious

Leslie Nielsen, sorely missed. Sorely never was a good shot.

Cigarette? Yes, I know. Best ever!

This is a utterly different kind of comedy which is alive still in our time. You cant copy nor compare

"We think we know how he did it." "Oh Howie couldn't have done it. He hasn't been in for weeks."

When he says "just a little hunch, back at the office .." you know exactly what's coming and it's still a guffaw moment when it happens. Really slick, clean and funny stuff 🤣🤣🤣

sergeant Takeheraway and Booker" ???PRICELESS!!

The crime re-enactment slays me every time.

- Cigarette? - Yes, I know.

This scene has gotta be one of the greatest comedy skits ever seen in a movie. Absolutely hilarious

Only the late great Leslie Nielson could pull off the hilarious play on words on 'Police Squad', 'Airplane', and the 'Naked Gun' triolgy! The Zucker Brothers and Abraham are geniuses!

Out of all the celebrity deaths, I still miss him the most. RIP Leslie Nielson

One of the best lines in this is "Sgt. Takeraway and Booker." Absolutely hilarious.

This is some next level, "Who's on first?" kinda stuff right here. I'd love to be in the room when this was written.

A true master , so understated and yet hilarious.

Thanks Leslie Nielsen for show us a life more funny and innocent. We'll remember you, always. R.I.P. from Chile

I still love these, the play on words was brilliant. I remember when American humour was so like the Brits.

Just when you thought the pun madness was over, "Weeks?" asks Frank. Ed responds, "Saul Weeks, Frank. He's the comptroller." Un-freakin-believable!

2:46 Today they would just use CGI, and none of those poor, unfortunate extras would have to die.

Writers were big fans of Abbott and Costello.

You can tell its actually a proper comedy because it doesnt need a laughing track to tell the audience something is funny.

Please tell me I'm not the only one watching this for the 1000th time! Will always be funny. Don't you agree Sargent Take her away, and Sargent Bookher? 🤔

I watched this video twice. No, once!

This type of comedy shines when it's presented like this: a constant overflow of jokes, sometimes overlapping. You don't have time to process a joke and you're handed two more. It's how it works and I love it.

People all too often get labelled “Greats” and “Legends”, especially when the pass away. For Leslie Nielsen to be classed as a ‘great’ and a ‘legend’ is no exaggeration. Pure comedy genius. Or to put it another way, “Nice Beaver” “Thanks. I’ve just had it stuffed” roger Roger.

Hahahahhahahahahha how can some1 keep such a straight face?? Sargent Take her away and booker and the lil hunchback gets me everytime..

They don't make comedy like they used to any more.

"Cigarrette?" "Yes, I know"

I CANNOT WATCH THIS AND KEEP A straight face! I crack up every time!!!

2021 reality break. Leslie Nielsen is the king...always will be.

i think we know how he did it, ohh, howie couldn't have done it, he hasn't been in for weeks!

sergeant 'Take Her Away' and 'Book Her'. Lmao

And when was the first time you noticed something was wrong? Well, when l first heard the shot, and as l turned, Jim fell. He's the teller, Frank. -What, Jim Fell's the teller? -No, Jim Johnson. -Who's Jim Fell? -He's the auditor, Frank. -He had the flu, so Jim filled in. -Phil who? Phil Din. He's the night watchman, Frank. lf only Phil had been here. Now wait a minute. Let me get this straight. Twice came in and shot the teller and Jim Fell. No, he only shot the teller, Jim Johnson. Fell is ill. Okay, then after he shot the teller, you shot Twice. No, l only shot once. Twice is the hold-up man. -Then l guess l did shoot Twice. -So now you're changing your story. -No, l shot Twice after Jim fell. -You shot Twice and Jim Fell? No, Jim fell first, and then l shot Twice once. -Who fired twice? -Once. He's the owner of the tyre company, Frank. Okay. Wunce is the owner of the tyre company and he fired Twice. -Then, Twice shot the teller once. -Twice. -And Jim fell and then you fired twice. -Once. Okay, all right, that'll be all for now, Miss Decker. Now, we'll need you to make a formal statement down at the station. -Of course. -You've been very helpful. -We think we know how he did it. -Howie couldn't have done it. He hasn't been in for weeks. Well. Thank you again, Miss Decker. -Weeks? -Sol Weeks. He's the controller, Frank. SaIIy Decker toId a convincing story.

Rest in Peace and Laughter in the Kingdom of Heaven Leslie Nielsen

Such an amazing amazing actor. Grew up watching him in several movies. The way he acted out the tongue twister with the secretary, hilarious...love this man. RIP

One day, there'll be someone who doesn't know what a cigarette is.

I remember an episode where a clue was a note tied to a window, thrown into a rock garden.

Oh god I freaking laughed out loud in a library

We can all comment on individual aspects of how genius this is. But I think we need to respect the fact that this is near perfect comedy. The "twice/once/fell/din skit is, in my opinion, the greatest piece of comedy writing and delivery ever committed to film. I've never seen anything so beautiful in comedy. I pissed myself laughing whilst being amazed at the wit of it and how it was performed deadpan.

These puns and gags NEVER get old!! Hilarious shit!! R.I.P. Leslie Nielsen. :( Remember The Naked Gun? Ed: "Frank, do you wanna take a dinghy?" Frank; "No. I took care of that at the press conference."

I remember the first time seeing the pilot episode. Absolutely hilarious.

One of the funniest TV shows ever, a work of genius. 'Is this some kind of bust?' 'Well that's very nice but we're here to ask you some questions'.

Amazing writing. Should win an Oscar for that scene alone.

I just keep watching this,late night t.v in UK early 80s

There was only six episodes of this show before it got cancelled. Damn.

Shirley one of the greats!

classic and timelless comedys from nielsen absolutely hillarious .thank you leslie

Leslie Nielsen is literally medicine. Probably the funniest man ever.

The never ending gurney at the start 😂🤣😂

Interesting how Leslie Nielsen went from more serious roles in the earlier part of his career to later a comic actor.

Police Squad is greatest of all time and this scene is greatest of all time. Just awe inspiring writing.

The pile of bodies behind Frank after the angle of gunshot trials have all been with live ammunition!!!! Hilariously silly!!!!

3.30 sergeant take her away and sergeant book her😂😂

I recently read James Doohan's memoir, "Beam Me Up Scotty". In it he mentions how, as a young actor just starting out on the stage in New York City, she shared his apartment with another young actor, none other then Leslie Nielsen. Later, when Doohan relocated to the Los Angeles area to work on films and TV shows, he stayed for a while with Nielsen and his wife in their home, Leslie having moved out earlier. The thing Doohan says about Nielsen is that he was always a very funny guy, a real live wire, lots of practical jokes, funny sayings, joking around, a very comic sensibility and tendency. Seems that Nielsen was somewhat typecast as a serious actor on account of his voice and appearance, not because of his innate personality or comic tendencies. Reminds me of other actors who started out doing one kind of thing, then becoming famous for something very different and doing ONLY that for a long time, before finally having enough clout (or just time passing) to get back to roles that suited their actual training and background. A couple actors who come to mind are singers and/or dancers who became known as tough guys, and only resumed doing their original schtick again later in their careers, High Jackman, Christopher Walken, etc.

The level of genius in this show is beyond the times 😂😂😂

I see the name, Leslie Nielsen. I click. :p

The most cleverly written, best acted, funniest sketch in the history of comedy

A great show & great straight man comedian.

I need a Rick Portal Gun so I can find a dimension where this show wasn't cancelled so soon

Police Squad meets Abbot and Costello.... classics, both

Never gets old. 😂

I literally cried with the loss of Leslie Nielsen

He was truly one of a kind🙏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾

Burlesque comedy in the 80s. Abbot and Costello "who's on first" sort of humor. The best!

Lots of comments about the funny lines, but there's also a lot that's funny in the background, like the never-ending stretcher in the opening scene.

every combination of words happens to be someone involved in the case

The 69 people who gave this the thumbs down ,I feel so sorry for them ,life without humour must be arful .

The finest comedy since Get Smart.

Little hunch back at the office. LMAO...omg...I can't breathe....lol

He was a legend

“ Cigarette ? Yes , I know Well.” This will always my favourite Zucker,Zucker and Abrahams joke.

I cry with 😂 every time I see this - CLASSIC

This sequence is hysterical.

I had to watch this Twice!

Hard to believe they only shot six episodes of this show. It’s a classic. My favourite episode is when Drebin goes undercover as a stand up comedian at a ( you guessed it...a comedy club) that is a major drug trafficker.

Whoever wrote this show was on some good dope. And so am I

Sargent "Take her away" and "book her". 🤣

Cons: Most of the jokes won't translate to an international market. Pros: The best comedy in the universe

Twice watched this video at least once!

A Classic. makes me laugh every time I hear this bit...

Ah yes, a remake of the "Who's on First?" routine done by Abbott & Costello. It still works!

I loved this show

The Zucker Bros are the best! Awesome writing, casting, & acting.

Rip Leslie Nielsen. I would have said this earlier but he wasn't dead then

That guy: Sergeant! take 'er away and book 'er! Frank: Sgt. Takeraway, Sgt. Booker

Jim fell is the night Watchman shot twice is the holdup man😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

Mcbean you are crucial in this investigation😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤

Good memories to remember the names.

I wish that show was still here today ........

His confused face is hilarious I cried twice after the teller fired once oh and also after that I fell lol

🤣🤣 Brilliant stuff.

Notice how long the stretcher in the beginning ,😄

Phil din !!! I have not seen this one so I will try and get it. Hilarious

Most of these jokes took me a sec to get lol

This goes all the way back to vaudeville. "Who'se on first"

Nice beaver Thank you, I just had it stuffed.

(2:38) 'Act Two: Yankees One' 😅😅😂😂
