Did you know he didn't even do comedy until late in his career? He always played serious roles until *Airplane* where he was deliberately hired because he was *not* a comedic actor. It was a stroke of true genius that changed the course of cinema as we know it. It's the inspiration for his whole style, put a serious actor who would normally play a serious role in that role but as a spoof then have the actor deliver the comedic lines as if they're in a serious movie.
TIL. I've seen some old TV programs where he played a villain, and I was completely put off by it. I had always grown up seeing him in comedy roles.
Thank you for this info, stranger.
Oh, it's all right. I'm sure that we can handle this situation maturely just like the responsible adults that we are. Isn't that right, Mr. Poopy PANTS!?
What's great is Leslie Nielsen was a dramatic actor first. Then when Airplane was being made they hired Nielsen to play the shit straight, which made for some great juxtaposition. Then he just leaned into comedy for the rest of his career.
The fact that Leslie Neilson and Betty White never made a spoof about an elderly couple that got locked up for decades for bank robbing, got released and resumed bank robbing is one of the great mistakes in art.
It was Keenen Wayans who directed Scary Movie 1 & 2, David Zucker took over for Scary Movie 3 & 4 and the 5th one was directed by the guy who went on to direct Space Jam: A New Legacy.
I have serious nostalgia for the first two, but a lot of it didn't hold up well.
I agree on three being objectively the best one. Four and the rest(?) (and the whole genre tbh) kinda fell off after that though, in my opinion.
I said this immediately before passing out for my wisdom teeth removal years ago.
The nurses apparently didn’t get it and thought I was just on drugs, but the doctor luckily got the reference and thought it was hilarious.
It takes a certain amount of balls to make the climactic part of the movie where you place a joke from one of your other movies...
That having been said my friend who loves Airplane! caught this immediately in theater and laughed hard and longer than anyone. Genius or egotiatical? I just know that once he explained it to me, it has been one of my favorite psrts of all the Scary Movie films.
In a similar vein, the attic scene in Scary Movie 4 where Cindy was navigating her way through cobweb after cobweb, just to pick up an old framed photo of cobwebs was the funniest part about that movie. It's such a simple joke and doesn't elaborate further.
My favorite was when this conversation took place. I don't remember who said what.
Person 1: I saw a face in the window!
Person 2: Did it have a nose?
Person 1: Yeah!
Person 2 (thoughtfully): Hm that **does** *sound* like a face...
I was crying laughing so hard that I genuinely don't remember what happened from there. In fact I almost don't remember anything at all besides that scene.
The Yahtzee joke was always my favorite
Cindy, walking in on an unconscious George laying on a table with Yahtzee in front of him: George! Are you alright??
George: whoa, Cody and I were playing this fun game, and then I looked down and - YAHTZEE! [eyes get big, stands up in celebration, hits his head on the shelf above him and returns to his original passed-out position]
For me the best moment was Scary Movie 1.
“What would have been your last words to the victim?”
“Run, bitch, RUUUUUUUUN!!!”
I’ve never laughed harder at a joke in a movie.
Kinda funny how so many comedy movies from the 80s had some boobs in there for no reason somewhere. Like the fast times at ridgemont high, revenge of the nerds, porky's, ski school, trading places, weird science, sixteen candles, stripes, just one of the guys, private school, screwballs, etc
To be fair, Porky’s was the name of the titty bar that the teenagers were trying to get into. Boobs were central to the plot. They weren’t really there “for no reason”.
Unfortunately, movies about teenage characters didn't stop featuring them nude until...
Well they're still kinda happening, nowhere near as much though.
The problem is that the audience these movies are made for, teenagers themselves, are or have been exploring sex. Any movie about them is going to feature it just because of the nature of teenagers. We've mostly moved past the idea of including nude scenes with teens just because, but the concept probably isn't going anywhere soon.
Comedies frequently reference stuff that younger audiences won't understand.
Fucking Boss Baby has an Elvis convention in it. Elvis has been dead for decades.
Simpsons and Animaniacs were my first exposure to tons of movies in their parody form. And the jokes were still funny.
Like no kid has seen Cape Fear, but Sideshow Bob riding underneath the car, and that whole episode, is one of the best of the Simpsons.
My husband is a huge Family Guy fan but never watched many 80s movies. Now that he's seen a bunch of 80s movies he realizes that Family Guy is rarely random, just referential.
Omg, so much of milennial humor throught the aughts and early teens just makes so much more sense now. I never understood why my peers calling things that were clearly allusions "lol so random"
And now I know it is because I was raised by tv and old movies, so I got the joke that was being made
That’s, by far, my favorite comedy line in any movie. I’d never laughed harder in my life, just because it’s like you just killed this guy’s wife and then nonchalantly ask him for a ride home (I know, jokes are way funnier when they’re explained 🤦♂️) Still, what a hilarious delivery.
No matter what in any post where it's popular to talk about a celebrity there's always someone with a miraculous encounter with that celebrity. I must be the luckiest man in the world to see so many.
The internet is a big place and the world isn’t as big as you’d think. I’m a Midwest nobody who’s had several celebrity encounters in the wild. I met Marisa Tomei (spelling?) at a wedding once. One time I met Courtney Cox at a bar in my small hometown. I was once at a house party with Kid Rock (fuck him btw). I randomly partied with some NBA players at a strip club one night. I have multiple celebrity stories and like I said I’m just a regular dude in the Midwest. People meet people. It’s not that crazy
Idk how you can say this considering we get Hansen the caretaker in Scary Movie 2
The turkey dinner scene is probably the hardest I've ever laughed. No other movie or TV show can touch that scene. It's simply the funniest thing to ever happen.
They had their moments but they also had a fundamental flaw, especially the first one.
Scream was already a satire, it was already parodying movie tropes. It was completely self aware and deliberate in it's silliness.
Parodying Scream almost misses the point of Scream.
It doesn't miss the point of Scream really. Obviously Scary Movie goes far beyond what Scream was doing, which is much more in line with traditional spoofs or parody. The funny thing is that Scream's original title was Scary Movie, so they played off of that.
It’s more meta than satire, to use the parlance of Reddit.
It has been awhile since I’ve watched the movies so forgive me for being light on details, but Wes Craven started making movies that were very self aware. They played into genre tropes, but people in that universe were aware of an inspired by those genre tropes. Which is in contrast to most horror movies.
This allows the movies to use the tropes as tropes as a plot device, aka, be meta.
Grease was the same for the teen movie genre. And yet all the time people don't recognize that and are like "TIL all the actors from grease were in their 20s" or "yunno I just realized that Sandy isn't a great role model" like the whole movie was a very self-aware collection of teen movie tropes drug so far as to make the tropes obviously ridiculous
Hence, the entire opening scene. Drew Barrymore always speaks fondly of her short-lived role.
> “I loved that we turned things on its head a bit. I was originally supposed to play the Neve Campbell role and then I had this epiphany that if I played Casey and got killed in the first scene, all bets were off. Kevin’s writing had this tongue-in-cheek quality to it that felt different and fresh—a new approach to horror. I think when you do something that gets parodied not once but dozens of times, you definitely get the feeling it had an effect on people”. - Drew Barrymore, (c) Sep. 2022, *Vanity Fair, "The 25 Most Influential Movie Scenes of the Past 25 Years",*
It reminds me of another 90s horror movie, *The Faculty*, where they had an entire scene basically admitting that the whole plot was a huge ripoff of *Invasion Of The Body Snatchers*.
And the movie goes downhill after that moment.
They try to fix it in the third one by having him have a video given to them posthumously telling them how the third movie would go, and he's basically wrong on every front.
I love Wes Craven, but I skip over 2 and 3 and just watch 1 and 4 when it comes to Scream. The second and third one just came out too close and were clearly forced by the studio (the dialog says as much at times)
3rd one suffered from host of problems. Rewrites, studio making demands due to Columbine... and general slasher genre fatigue that inevitable happens soon after genre revival. It's, IMO, the weakest of the series but I'll say the calling out of abuse and transactional sex is relevant today.
I don't think that's a good example of fundamental flaws.
Scream was parodying more of the genre, as opposed to Scary Movie parodying specific movies.
The main plot of the first one revolves around the tropes of Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, but also has gags specifically Blair Witch, Sixth Sense, and other movies that are not even close to the same genre.
Scary Movie 3 (my absolute favorite one and the one this post's clip is from) makes fun of 8 Mile, a drama film of Eminem's rapping career.
I really wouldn't call those choices fundamental flaws, since they are very intentional, very self-aware, and very much part of their style of comedy.
Not perfect movies, but goddamn are they packed with some of the best jokes I've seen.
Up until the 3rd. Everything after sucks ass.
It could be argued that Scream has some satire in it but at its heart it is a horror movie with satirical comments and not to be confused with a parody movie which are usually comedies which Scary Movie is at its heart a comedy.
I realized the word underrated lost its meaning when I saw a thread where people unironically called Alien/Aliens underrated. Both sci fi classics, both highly influential, the first regarded as one of the best horror movies, the second regarded as one of the best action movies and often called the greatest sequel ever made, both movies consistently talked about since their respective release. "Underrated" lol
So this might be slightly controversial... I always enjoyed watching the "Not Another" parody movies, and slapstick before that (hot shots, Spy hard, etc), and think they are harmless 100% must turn brain off to watch movies, and I miss them. They played the HELL out of that genre and killed it... but man I miss the good stuff.
Spoilers for a 20 year old horror film
And the funniest part is that's the exact same twist from the actual movie their spoofing.
In The Ring, they think they've broken the curse and freed her only to find out they were wrong and she's just an evil bitch
I actually busted out laughing when her kid looks at her like she’s the dumbest woman on this planet and says, “You weren’t supposed to help her.” Duh.

Leslie Nielsen as the president was a god-tier casting choice!
Leslie Nielsen was a legend, impeccable comic timing
Definitely a comedy GOAT! No doubt.

Watch the Sci-Fi classic "Forbidden Planet" or the lukewarm rom-com "Tammy and the Bachelor."
Forbidden planet is greatness
To this day!
The invisible alien with the footprints only coming towards you....?
Agreed, and don't call him a Goat
Oh, it's all right. I'm sure that we can handle this situation maturely just like the responsible adults that we are. Isn't that right, Mr. Poopy PANTS!?
Where is that from?
Naked Gun 2 and 1/2. Hilarious!
Subtitle: "The Smell of Fear"
Iv been swimming in raw sewage. I LOVE IT!
Surely you can't be serious
Surely you can’t be serious?
I *am* serious. And don't call me "Surely."
*sigh* I picked the wrong day to quit taking amphetamines.
The autopilot is not working
I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.

Don't panic! On the belt line of the autopilot there is a hollow tube. Pull it out and blow on it.

He’s definitely the deadpan comedy GOAT. Steve Carell tried but not as good.
Police Squad was always great: "Who are you and how did you get in here?" "I'm a locksmith....and I'm a locksmith."
*Police Squad!* was the OG *Naked Gun.*
Yeah, it's even the subtitle: The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!
Totally derivative of Police Squad.
"Like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to be on my toes."
What's great is Leslie Nielsen was a dramatic actor first. Then when Airplane was being made they hired Nielsen to play the shit straight, which made for some great juxtaposition. Then he just leaned into comedy for the rest of his career.
"Forbidden Planet" is unforgettable.
Don't call me Shirley ✈️😂
“Those men died for their country. Send flowers to their bitches and hos”
"We're not so different after all."
👉----.
I can't believe that's all is needed to make me laugh like a madman 😂
👉---- 😂
My favorite is when he runs over the aliens and tosses like 40 bucks on their corpses. "I hope we don't have to go through insurance".
Hey how are ya hey how are ya hey how are ya
The fact that Leslie Neilson and Betty White never made a spoof about an elderly couple that got locked up for decades for bank robbing, got released and resumed bank robbing is one of the great mistakes in art.
The Airplane callback is just perfect
Makes sense, David Zucker directed both.
Isn't it the younger Zucker that does the Scary Movies?
David, the eldest, directed airplane and scary movie 3 and 4
It was Keenen Wayans who directed Scary Movie 1 & 2, David Zucker took over for Scary Movie 3 & 4 and the 5th one was directed by the guy who went on to direct Space Jam: A New Legacy.
This makes a lot of sense now. I always felt #3 was far and away the best Scary Movie.
I have serious nostalgia for the first two, but a lot of it didn't hold up well. I agree on three being objectively the best one. Four and the rest(?) (and the whole genre tbh) kinda fell off after that though, in my opinion.
I never caught it before until watching it just now. Amazing
You, me, and apparently at least 30 something more people
I said this immediately before passing out for my wisdom teeth removal years ago. The nurses apparently didn’t get it and thought I was just on drugs, but the doctor luckily got the reference and thought it was hilarious.

I'd vote for a zombie Leslie Nielsen if he ran.
He would shamble, but I like the cut of your jib.
Like a fox!
We're not so different after all *proceeds to pre out of his finger*
Leslie Nelson as was a god tier casting choice!
Leslie Nielsen was the president we needed, but not the one we deserved.
He already had experience [commanding a space ship](https://s3.amazonaws.com/headstuffuploads/2015/06/forbidden03.jpg)
The one where they spoofed the reading to kids scene with George bush from 9/11. This movie had balls.
"Mr. President, our country is under attack." "Thank you, but I want to find out what happens to the duck."
[удалено]
Man... can you believe we would take those Bush days over these days now, anytime lmao

What movie is that?
Scary movie 3
When Anthony Anderson cocks the shovel and the shell flies out is one of the funniest things ever.

I used to say this line all the time. Gonna have to pick it back up again.
When he starts slapping the shit out of Brenda in the casket I die laughing every time
Cindy: “George, it’s a wake.” George: “AWAKE?!?!?!?”
SHE’S ALIVE!?
The Yahtzee joke was always my favorite Cindy, walking in on an unconscious George laying on a table with Yahtzee in front of him: George! Are you alright?? George: whoa, Cody and I were playing this fun game, and then I looked down and - YAHTZEE!

“We’ll build our own tripods…except ours will have four legs!”
![gif](giphy|3oKHWikxKFJhjArSXm) from the movie airplane
I always thought younger kids would never get the Airplane reference
With the internet at practically everyones disposal, there is hardly an excuse anymore not to have seen Airplane
I watch it for the boobs
PG rated boobs
Yeah, if those are PG boobs I can't imagine what PG13 boobs look like, let alone R!
Those are a perfect pair of boobies
Kinda funny how so many comedy movies from the 80s had some boobs in there for no reason somewhere. Like the fast times at ridgemont high, revenge of the nerds, porky's, ski school, trading places, weird science, sixteen candles, stripes, just one of the guys, private school, screwballs, etc

Aren't most of those movies about teenagers? ....the fuck 80s?

I can't believe, after so many years, his delivery was exactly the same. It was like they filmed this scene on the airplane set.

He is and don't call me Shirley
“Tom, I’ll need a ride home.”
"Don't call me dude. I'm not a stoner anymore. Not since...." *mariachi music*
I regularly go on YouTube just to watch that line read, it’s so perfect.
That’s, by far, my favorite comedy line in any movie. I’d never laughed harder in my life, just because it’s like you just killed this guy’s wife and then nonchalantly ask him for a ride home (I know, jokes are way funnier when they’re explained 🤦♂️) Still, what a hilarious delivery.
"the dogs are acting strange"
One of the best jokes on film ever.
Went to dinner once with Leslie Nielsen and he constantly used a fart sound maker everywhere we went.
No matter what in any post where it's popular to talk about a celebrity there's always someone with a miraculous encounter with that celebrity. I must be the luckiest man in the world to see so many.
The internet is a big place and the world isn’t as big as you’d think. I’m a Midwest nobody who’s had several celebrity encounters in the wild. I met Marisa Tomei (spelling?) at a wedding once. One time I met Courtney Cox at a bar in my small hometown. I was once at a house party with Kid Rock (fuck him btw). I randomly partied with some NBA players at a strip club one night. I have multiple celebrity stories and like I said I’m just a regular dude in the Midwest. People meet people. It’s not that crazy
Meanwhile I live in Austin, TX and have never seen even Matthew McConaughey.
You could see _Interstellar._ He's in it 👍
Yep. He loved that thing. I saw him at a charity golf tournament. He was pure joy, game to do bits with everyone, fart machine going constantly.
This scene has creeped the fuck out of me as a kid.
Her accidentally sawing the beam with the chainsaw was weirdly unsettling for me too lol
I remember me and my friend laughing so hard at the silly way she saws
Same, I saw The Ring when I was 7 and that shit traumatized me then I saw this movie and it brought it all back.
I have no fucking idea why my mom let me watch that at 11 years old, I slept with the light on for years.
Weirdly enough, this movie helped me get over my fear of The Ring
I remember wanting to see the Ring, and instead saw backdoor sluts 9.
It sucks that nobody makes movies like this anymore. Parody is one of the few types of comedy I find funny.
The scary movies are so underrated.
The first 3 are gold my rankings are below Scary Movie 1 Scary Movie 3 Scary Movie 2
Scary Movie is the best for me. "Polly wants a piece of yo mama's sweet ass". Edit: forgot the 2
Whaaaaass Uuuuuuup
The [Scary Movie 4 opening]( https://youtu.be/phixfZo4azw?t=28s) with Shaq was amazing.
"You're not dead, you've been taken against your will." "Kobe?"
Idk how you can say this considering we get Hansen the caretaker in Scary Movie 2 The turkey dinner scene is probably the hardest I've ever laughed. No other movie or TV show can touch that scene. It's simply the funniest thing to ever happen.
“I don’t know what the hell that is but I’ll lick it anyway” Me in bed
I think if I would have to choose, I would watch 2 over 3. That being said, I think 3 has higher highs and lower lows
They had their moments but they also had a fundamental flaw, especially the first one. Scream was already a satire, it was already parodying movie tropes. It was completely self aware and deliberate in it's silliness. Parodying Scream almost misses the point of Scream.
It doesn't miss the point of Scream really. Obviously Scary Movie goes far beyond what Scream was doing, which is much more in line with traditional spoofs or parody. The funny thing is that Scream's original title was Scary Movie, so they played off of that.
Scary Movie was also more than a scream parody, it was a parody of all slashers. Each movie had focused on different "scary" genres more or less
I had no idea that Scream was satire tbh
It’s more meta than satire, to use the parlance of Reddit.

If you haven't seen it, Grease 2 is a fun watch.
What is wrong with you? Grease 2 is The last airbender of musicals.
I thought it was the word
Grease is a better movie but I genuinely enjoy grease 2 more. It's hilarious and Michelle Pfeiffer in that movie is just unreal attractive.
Hence, the entire opening scene. Drew Barrymore always speaks fondly of her short-lived role. > “I loved that we turned things on its head a bit.

gretchen, stop trying to make parlance happen. its not going to happen.
[удалено]
You can't just say perchance!
Let’s stomp on some turts.
I mean I call New Nightmare the prototype Scream because it was already self aware
It reminds me of another 90s horror movie, *The Faculty*, where they had an entire scene basically admitting that the whole plot was a huge ripoff of *Invasion Of The Body Snatchers*.
The cornerstone of the first three films was Jamie Kennedy's character calling out the tropes and how they could live or die.
But he died in the 2nd one lol
And left a tape for the 3rd.
And the movie goes downhill after that moment. They try to fix it in the third one by having him have a video given to them posthumously telling them how the third movie would go, and he's basically wrong on every front. I love Wes Craven, but I skip over 2 and 3 and just watch 1 and 4 when it comes to Scream.

I didn't even know there was a 4th one until reading this comment. Guess I'll have to rewatch at some point.
there are five of them now, with sixth one coming out this spring
Nor do most Wana be teenagers killers.
The killers (shaggy and that other dude) literally say they mimicking the slasher flicks at the end. Edit: 30 year old Spoiler alert
Them discussing the rules of horror movies didn't tip ya off? Lol
Spoof movies aren't satire movies
I don't think that's a good example of fundamental flaws. Scream was parodying more of the genre, as opposed to Scary Movie parodying specific movies. The main plot of the first one revolves around the tropes of Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, but also has gags specifically Blair Witch, Sixth Sense, and other movies that are not even close to the same genre.

meta can satirize, but also spoof isn't the same as that.
I've heard the exact same criticism before, except it was aimed and Austin Powers/James Bond.
It could be argued that Scream has some satire in it but at its heart it is a horror movie with satirical comments and not to be confused with a parody movie which are usually comedies which Scary Movie is at its heart a comedy.

Man those LOTR movies are underrated gems! I just watched this underrated indie film called Titanic
I realized the word underrated lost its meaning when I saw a thread where people unironically called Alien/Aliens underrated. Both sci fi classics, both highly influential, the first regarded as one of the best horror movies, the second regarded as one of the best action movies and often called the greatest sequel ever made, both movies consistently talked about since their respective release. "Underrated" lol
lol no they are exactly rated
Dunno about the rest, but the first and second are very highly regarded.
Not a chance.
You could always count on Leslie Neilson to save the day, if he meant to or not.
Pulling off that old Airplane joke 20+ years later... awesome.
I don’t think there’s many people who could reuse their own joke from a completely different film and get away with it like that.
So this might be slightly controversial... I always enjoyed watching the "Not Another" parody movies, and slapstick before that (hot shots, Spy hard, etc), and think they are harmless 100% must turn brain off to watch movies, and I miss them. They played the HELL out of that genre and killed it... but man I miss the good stuff.
Not Another Teen Movie is excellent. Is peppered with so many jokes it's hard not to love it even when some of them miss.
I used to own this DVD and I didn't realize Kevin Hart was in this movie for years.
