Indeed. Everybody’s too goddamn hypersensitive and perpetually-offended now, and even those who aren’t snowflakes themselves are too damn scared of offending the ravenous mutants and getting cancelled. And that’s not even to speak of the omnipresent sociopolitical agendas being pushed in everything in place of the comedy. What an utterly embarrassing and disgraceful time to be alive. Blargh.
@@Armaldo468funny enough not why this genre died. Most because to many bad ones come out and every single joke had then been used, and not always well. Or just the punchline died. And They became so predictable that the jokes weren't even funny because you could guess it before the punchline.
@@dannore8077 Perhaps not, but it’s certainly a factor that keeps anything quite like this from being done again-at least until the world somehow regains its senses, but I’m not holding my breath on that; I don’t particularly feel like suffocating. Also this kind of clever comedy requires functioning brain cells to write, which are also in perilously short supply today. If this form of comedy got too banal and dumbed-down to survive back in the day, can you imagine how atrocious it’d be *now?* A terrifying prospect, for sure.
"Hey, it's Enrico Pallazzo!" and "My father went the same way" are 2 of my fave lines from any comedy ever, and glad to see that Kacee not only had great reactions to these but also even included them in the reaction; it annoys me an unreasonable amount when I see some reactors cut out either of these moments.
For the younger viewers- the gunman is Reggie Jackson. At one time he was one of the most famous sports stars in the US. He even had a candy bar, which is somehow being sold again 40 years after they originally stopped making them.
To your reaction at 3:52, Weird Al did a cameo in all 3 Naked Gun movies. He was apparently a fan of the short-lived series the movies are based off of. That bit where he (Drebbin) talks to the mayor about shooting the "5 wierdos in togas", that was a nod to the original Dirty Harry movie, where Harry says something similar to SFs mayor.
Good reaction.. it is funny how most young reactors don't know about red pistachios. They were such a huge part of my childhood. My grandmother would always have a bunch of those along with hard candy for guests.
@@DosCavazos They used to put a dye on pistachios to hide blemishes, imperfections, stains, and other damage on the shells which could happen during harvesting. Why they used red, I don't know. They also came in green, though I believe that was much less common. They no longer dye the pistachio shells because they're largely harvested mechanically now which has almost entirely eliminated all of the problems the dyes were used to hide.

In the 80's, it was found that F&DC No.5 caused cancer, and (after much debate) it was finally banned. I think the next popular red dye was also suspected of not being safe, too. Many foods changed their formulas. The dye was in a lot of foods. I guess, the pistachio industry decided it wasn't worth it to keep dying their products. Pistachios were fairly popular at the time, but they weren't to dye for. (apparently)
You asked for some other slapstick movies like this, well here are some....Airplane! (1980), Airplane II: The Sequel (1982), Top Secret! (1984), The Naked Gun 2 1/2 - The Smell of Fear (1991), Hot Shots! (1991), Hot Shots! Part Deux (1993), Loaded Weapon 1 (1993), Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994), Spy Hard (1996), Wrongfully Accused (1998).
about the lionfish: they're an invasive species and because of their spines, are usually avoided by most natural predators. i have heard they are delicious once they are separated from their spines
Doesn't matter where I am, doesn't matter what kinda mood I'm in... Seeing "frank drebin" park his car (and rear end every car he parks behind) gets me near tears.
Before Spaceballs she may want to make sure that she's seen the original Star Wars trilogy, a little classic Star Trek, Alien, Wizard of Oz and Planet of the Apes...
Denmark here, I'm not quite a Nielsen myself, but my name is Frank (though not Drebin), and my mother's sister and that part of my Family are all Nielsen's. Leslie Nielsen's father was actually a police officer, or more correctly he was an immigrant from Denmark who joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. His brother became the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada for a few years in the 80's and his half-uncle was the Danish-American actor Jean Hersholt who twice was awarded an honorary Oscar and a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and in his honor the "Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award" is still a special Oscar named by the Oscar Academy. The kind of secretly funny part is that when he is offered a Cuban cigar he said he is "Dutch-Irish, my father was from Wales", because in real life Leslie Nielsen's mother was from Wales, so he was neither Dutch or Irish, but he deliberately switched the "Wales" part from his mother to his father in this joke, he then go on to invite Priscilla Presley out for dinner, saying that he knows this out of the way place, that serve great (Danish) Viking food. It also explains how terrible he is at remembering the US National Anthem lyrics, because in truth he was not an American citizen, but a half Danish Canadian, so I think they just let him "run with it" 😁
The best order to watch them is: 1. A Substantial Gift (The Broken Promise) 2. Ring of Fear (A Dangerous Assignment) 3. Rendezvous at Big Gulch (Terror in the Neighbourhood) 4. Revenge and Remorse (The Guilty Alibi) 5. A Bird in the Hand (The Butler did it) 6. Testimony of Evil (Dead Men don't laugh) Weird Al appears in all 3 films (roles 1 and 3 are obvious, 2 isn't but is related events in the series). Other actors appear in the films because they appear in the series. Lastly, the credits in movies by the ZAZ team are part of the gag. So don't skip the end credits. Enjoy.
It's so weird that the final film of one of the great American actors on stage and in film (John Houseman) has him co-starring with O.J. Simpson, Priscilla Presley, Reggie Jackson, and Weird Al Yankovic.
The part where Frank is in the Mayor's office and describes a previous incident where he shot some actors in the park is a spoof on a famous line by Clint Eastwood in "Dirty harry" (1971)
The beaver scene reminds me of my biology lab test. One of the exhibits had 3 taxidermy pieces. A snake, an owl and a beaver. I answered the question and had to wait for the line in the next row to move forward. While I waited I leaned on the wall next to our Biology Teaching Assistant. Leaned over next to her and quietly said, "Nice beaver." She immediately replied, "Thank you, I just had it stuffed. We both broke up laughing while the rest of the class glared at us.
This is based on a proposed series called police squad, in which 6 episodes were shot. The OJ Simpson being "killed" in the very beginning was a call back to the series where they would have a big name actor on and kill him off in the very beginning, usually right as their name appeared in the opening credits "with special guest"
25:12 I hadn't noticed before the absolutely vicious joke here. They're presenting the Queen of England a musket from the American War of Independence (from the British Crown).
Kacee your laugh and smile are beautiful. Watched this movie in 1988. We were hungover from night of party. Laughed so much stomach hurt.. Good days. 80's were Awesome!! 😁😎
Hi Kacee, these films are definitely underated and people love them when they are discovered!🙂Of course Airplane you mentioned is similar comedy, so are the sequels to this film. "The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear" (1991) and "The Naked Gun: The Final Insult" (1994). A reboot of the films has been greenlit with Liam Neeson starring. Great solo reactions to your first Naked Gun film, Kacee!!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Well, K. You have to watch the sequels. Then Airplane. Dracula, dead and loving it! (Maybe need to watch Dracula Bram Stocker first bc it's a parody) And if you feel like need more of this content, Police Squad which is a TV show series that inspired this movie) I remember I used to rent that show with my step brother when we were kids and we used to laugh of those ridiculous scenes!!!! Love your laugh! Can wait for more comedy reactions! Stay Safe!
This is a sequel to the short lived TV series "POLICE SQUAD!" (yes the title has an exclamation). Only lasted 6 episodes.. it was "too much for tv".. too many jokes. The intro to the film is about what Frank has been up to in the 6 years since the show was cancelled... aka Saving the World
My wife totally lost her mind (laughed hysterically) when the marching band came after the bus and steamroller. You must watch Airplane...unless I am late to the part and you already have.
I know this is a late comment and I did scroll back for a ways and didn’t see anyone answering the question of what they were eating in the car. It was pistachios, they use to be dyed red, which is why they had red all over their faces. The reason was (at least from what I know) is so the didn’t have to clean the pistachios, they would dye them basically to cover them up. And of course it’s hard to stop eating them cause they are so good which is why the pile of shells outside the doors. I haven’t seen any reactors know what they were eating yet.
One thing that took me more than a few viewings to notice is that Enrico Palazzo is a very big man, but his clothes fit Frank Drebin perfectly. Also, the Zucker brothers mother, Charlotte seems to be in most of their movies. In The Naked Gun, she played the Assassination Secretary. In Airplane! she played the lady who had a rough time putting on her makeup during turbulence.
If you like this humor, definitely watch Airplane! (disaster spoof), but there are a bunch of other movies with the same humor. Top Secret! (spy spoof), Loaded Weapon (Lethal Weapon spoof), Hot Shots (Top Gun spoof), Hot Shots Part Deux (Rambo spoof), Mafia! (mafia movie spoof), Scary Movie 1-4 (horror/thriller spoof).
It seems hard to believe, but the original Police Squad series on which this movie is based is even better. There's no straight man, every single character is part of the fantasy that the world is completely absurd. It's delightful.
Airplane was written by the same guys and came before naked gun. The bri!liance, begining with airplane, is they casted all serious actors from that period instead of comic actors The lines were delivered dead pan without a laugh track. Airplane spoofed a movie from the 1950s, Zero Hour, I believe it was called. They kept the plot and many of the scenes only they changed the dialog. They had these actors delivering funny slap stick lines without the actors trying to be funny. In fact I think I saw an interview where one of the actors didn't even know it was supposed to be funny, he just read the lines.
Police Squad started out as a TV show. There's a few episodes online. The funny thing is, Police Squad basically got canceled for being too funny, and having too many jokes. xD
Can recommend the Pink Panther movies. I don't like the first one, but *A shot in the dark* and the two other movies are great. Peter Sellers and Herbert Lom are amazing. :) ..in fact, can probably skip the first one and go straight with A shot in the dark. 🤔
i hope you check out the sequels because they're more of the same but different scenarios of this trilogy. Airplane has some good comedy too but this trilogies center around Leslies character Frank.
When you watch airplane!, don’t analyze why something is the way it is. Do be very observant of sight and sound there are gags everywhere. You may have to watch it again to get all of it. Watch A Shot In The Dark and the newer Pink Panther films.
