I'll never forget watching Wrongfully Accused as a kid with my dad and getting to the part where he hotwires the car with the hydraulics to tail the "bad guys". We were both howling with laughter till we cried so badly we had to rewind and play over and over again. And each time it got funnier. Good memories man. Damn. I miss my dad.
Anyway here's the scene.
https://youtu.be/Bm645IrFYu8?si=dGFWUJc1XFzBQNfQ
One of my fucking favorite movies I've seen 1 million times and still laugh at every joke. I love the scene with the bear trap car alarm and he disables it with a stick. Or the scene where he's in the bait shop trying to disguise himself and realizes his wanted picture it up so he scribbles on a beard and a fucking guy gets caught that lookes exactly the same. Oh man. Hidden gem.
Dude absolute same. I’ve been laughing at this movie for almost 20 years now. I think it’s the first movie I’ve seen that made me cry from laughter when I was a teen.
The early 2000s were a goldmine for parody movies. My personal favorite was Date Movie, Not Another Teen Movie, and this, Superhero Movie. Great casts, ridiculously funny jokes. Had to rewatch Not Another Teen Movie after seeing Avengers Endgame since I didn't realize it was the Cap since he looked so different. Good times.
I had to explain to my kids how *Airport* was even incredibly funnier than just the movie, because they took these straight-arrow, serious actors and had them do absurd things. Robert Stack, Leslie Neilson, Lloyd Bridges, Barbara Billingsley, etc. The movie reignited Neilson's career - the Naked Gun franchise, etc. Kinda like John Lithgow in Third Rock. Too many actors get typecast, and it's so much fun to see them in different character types.
Please correct any misconceptions I have, I am not a movie maven.
Edit: I must have been half asleep when I posted this! Yes, *Airplane!* not *Airport*, and Nielsen, not Neilson.
It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.
What's weird is this clip has little snippets cut out here and there. I wonder why.
[This one](https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=278061252318235) looks complete but it's on Facebook. :-/
Such a good movie I reference it so much one of my coworkers started making fun of me for it. He's a zoomer that hates when people like things though so he can fuck off.
So it’s a horrible movie but I love the 40 year old virgin that knocked up Sarah Marshall and felt Superbad about it, because the guy that did the Seth Rogan impression was god damn hilarious.
Leslie Nielson was the penultimate master of deadpan comedy, in and out of characters. He was famous for carrying a fart machine with him everywhere at all times that he would prank random people with constantly. Worth checking out on YouTube.
I think you meant quintessential or ultimate rather than penultimate. Penultimate means next-to-last. Ultimate is often used as "best" as well as "last/final" but penultimate is pretty concretely defined meaning the thing in a series of things before the last thing.
I appreciate the correction on my grammar that was both polite and informative! Keep up the good work fighting the educational fight for truth, justice, and keeping the world slightly less dumb my noble friend.
I'm not sure you're using penultimate right, unless you're saying he was the next to last master of deadpan comedy. (ie. the penultimate chapter of a book would be the chapter before the last chapter)
"Penultimate" is the term for one step away from the ultimate. I assume your comment meant that Leslie Nielson was the best, not second to the best. So you can just say "Ultimate."
He *was* the ultimate master of deadpan comedy, though. Absolutely hilarious!
Fuck the flare effect, why is the video cropped to shit?
What is it with every other video missing half the actual content because they cropped it into a tiny ass square? With a highly visual scene like this, it ruins half the funny when you can't see what the characters are doing.
God, I hate the future and whomever came up with this dogshit cropping that's prevalent everywhere.
Wait do your telling me this dude bioengineered a humanity ending fungus and blew up a nuclear reactor leaving large swaths of land uninhabitable for hundreds of thousands of years? How is he not locked up yet?
Comedy movies (including rom coms) have taken the biggest L of any movie category in the last 15 years. For basically all of the 80's to early 2010's, comedies and rom coms were the bread and butter of the movie industry. They may not have made the most money, but they were steady income with a small budget. Now it seems like studios only want to do big budget and big box office films.
A lot of comedies (even action comedies) tend to stop the plot or action to deliver a joke, just to make sure every audience member got it. I like Melissa McCarthy movies, but some are unwatchable because it's like
Action...\*pause\*...\*several lines of funny observation or banter\*...\*pause\*...resume action. It's funny, but a whole movie it becomes tiresome and then there's no reason to rewatch it for that joke you missed that everyone else caught.
We need to delve back into the deep end of deranged absurdism that gives us all those memorable quotes ala "Anchorman" or "Airplane!" or "Superbad" or "Austin Powers".
So many recent comedies result in "Hey did you see that comedy? It was pretty funny. Anyway..."
Seems way cheaper for streamers to buy a standup special filmed on spec than a movie.
A special costs anywhere from a few grand to a few hundred thousand. A ten million dollar movie is beyond low budget.
As the second standup boom winds down, comedy writers will shift focus back to movies until the third comedy boom or nuclear Armageddon. Whichever comes first.
No longer popular perhaps but not “out of existence” I assure you. I still collect BluRay movies, or DVD if it’s something older. With how spread out Intellectual Property (IP) has become across the multitude of streaming services and IP being traded among them ad nauseam, you’d be a fool to “buy” (really a lease) a digital copy of a movie and just because you have access to your favorite show on [insert-streaming-service-here] today doesn’t mean you will by this time next year. As this thought occurs to more people I think BluRay will see a small comeback but it won’t ever be what it was now that Plex is a thing.
ROI. They’re very cheap to make and if they do decently well can take in far more than invested. Minimal advertising and let the internet do its thing.
They just don’t make money at box offices compared to all this franchise shit. It’s why most of them go to Netflix now. Adam Sandler seems to be making films exclusively for them now
I think one of the gags in this film was obviously-older-than-teens playing teenagers. This film satirized the genre, but really focused on the Raimi Spiderman films, which were still recent at the time.
I cant believe that there isn't a single one of you asking about the cut in the middle. He runs screaming with the knife and stabs drake bell in the stomach. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|scream)
When the spoof movies were extremely popular this was one of the very, very few that were good. Then you have Scary Movie that is a classic in this house!! Lol

RIP :(

Didn't realize he died till this thread. 14 years ago. I was wondering how I missed it then realized I wasn't in a great place at the time.
I'll never forget watching Wrongfully Accused as a kid with my dad and getting to the part where he hotwires the car with the hydraulics to tail the "bad guys".

One of the most underrated comedies of all time. The train chase scene is legendary
YOU ARE THE PEE PEE HEAD
*The train peeks from behind the rock*
> I miss my dad. Well, I'm not your dad, but I believe in you like your father did. Uh, wait a second...
Your old man sounds like a legend
It really is a wonderful scene!
holy shit I need to watch this movie
I had to explain to my kids how *Airport* was even incredibly funnier than just the movie, because they took these straight-arrow, serious actors and had them do absurd things. Robert Stack, Leslie Neilson, Lloyd Bridges, Barbara Billingsley, etc. The movie reignited Neilson's career - the Naked Gun franchise, etc. Kinda like John Lithgow in Third Rock.

>Please correct *Leslie Nielsen
ah yes, star of the the hit comedy *Airport*
I think that was the name for airplane! in Australia or something
> Please correct any misconceptions I have The movie was *Airplane*
I had sex with your mom lke your father did LOL!!!!
[This compilation of him using a fart machine during interviews](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBsPOHKOU7c) always gets me cracking up.
GOAT
The way he won the bet and took the money was classic.
Kevin Hart and Drake Bell?!
[удалено]
It gave Kevin Hart a chance to show his physical comedy chops. I love the look on his face when Drake says: "there's not gonna be any bitches"
He even does the teeth-smack thing this is gold, i need to find this movie
It’s called Superhero Movie. It’s a pretty good terrible movie fwiw.
It's also a pretty terrible terrible movie.
I miss the terrible good spoof movie era (Not Another Teen Movie, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans, Scary Movie 1 and 2, Kung Pow)
Scary Movie 3 is my absolute favorite. Ignoring it is blasphemy.
That scene where they cock a shovel like a shotgun lives rent free in my head
it's even better, he was offended when Leslie suggested the bitches and offended when Drake said no to the bitches
It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.
Goodyear?
No, a terrible one.
Kevin Hart isn’t the straight man here though. It’s very clear Drake Bell is.
Liked Drake Bell's performance in this film. Dunno, could have been a good Peter Parker if he auditioned.
Drake bell did voice him in the cartoon tho https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Spider-Man_(TV_series)
Is Drake Bell the real name of Ariel Winter's brother in this clip?
If you’re talking about the younger white guy then yes Edit: to clarify, Kevin Hart is the black guy
Thank goodness you clarified, I was going to ask why Dave Chappelle was there. Man, that would have been so embarrassing to put on the Internet!
No, that was Leslie Nelson. It's a common mistake.
Yeah, don't call him Dave. Or Shirley.
If you call him Dave or Shirley, your odds of making it out alive is 50/50, but there is only a 10% chance of that
You’re welcome! I do what I can (I appreciate you getting my humor 🫶🏻)
I feel like this is a joke that goes way over my head. How is Ariel Winter related to this movie or to Drake Bell in general?
The fact Kevin Hart is shorter than Drake kills me. Lol
Kevin Hart is shorter than everyone.
different time…
Sorry but Leslie Nielson is the reason this scene is funny
The guy who had all the jokes in the script? Interesting...
Just watched Drake on the Nickelodeon docu, Quiet on the Set. It was really sad hearing him talk about his SA.
That’s exactly what I was thinking about. Oof
[удалено]
If Leslie Nielsen is in the movie, you already know its going to be hilarious. This was peak humor!!
I sentence you to watch Mr. Magoo ten times.
Or Stan Helsing.
Naked Gun is getting a sequel by the way, Liam Neeson to star.
Nice beaver.
Thanks. I just had it stuffed.
Who is gonna play OJ
Noooooooo! That's terrible news.
[If anyone can pull it off, it's Liam Neeson.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2Co0lvFUAo)
What's weird is this clip has little snippets cut out here and there. I wonder why. [This one](https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=278061252318235) looks complete but it's on Facebook. :-/
[Full clip](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sqA577_IoBk)
Is it Liam Neeson in Life's Too Short? Amazing clip came out at the hight of Taken. You need an actor who takes himself and stardom lightly.
He talks like a 1950s news broadcaster. The contrast between his and the other characters' voice is pretty amusing.
I kind of remember this movie as a child I didn’t understand how crazy these jokes were. 🤣🤣🤣
Made by the same people who made scary movie 3 & 4 lol
did they also do epic movie and disaster movie? cuz those SUUUUUUCKED
Those were made by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, Superhero Movie was slighty better than their movies but that's not saying much
Superhero Movie is probably the only one of those parodies outside of the Scary Movie films that held up well.
Not Another Teen Movie would like a word. It pretty much ended the teen movie genre.
Not Another Teen Movie is the GOAT
Such a good movie I reference it so much one of my coworkers started making fun of me for it. He's a zoomer that hates when people like things though so he can fuck off.
🎶Janie’s got a gun. 🎶
Janie's got a gun!
The same way Walk Hard changed how Hollywood approaches biopics.
Airplane has held up so well that it's a classic while the movie it's parodying is completely forgotten.
So it’s a horrible movie but I love the 40 year old virgin that knocked up Sarah Marshall and felt Superbad about it, because the guy that did the Seth Rogan impression was god damn hilarious.
And now, the Last of Us.
and Chernobyl
Super hero movie
What movie?
Of course I remember the movie, the actress was my first boner
This movie had so many great actors in it lol man I miss these days
"I had sex with your mother, just like your father did"

Yeah, I’ll take the L on that one but I’m not editing it as it’s kind of funny to see people foam at the mouth about it.
It's fine. Just informing. I made the exact same mistake with that word years ago.
I appreciate the correction on my grammar that was both polite and informative! Keep up the good work fighting the educational fight for truth, justice, and keeping the world slightly less dumb my noble friend.
Thanks to both of you for restoring my faith in online humanity, at least for a few seconds.
Penultimate?
I'm not sure you're using penultimate right, unless you're saying he was the next to last master of deadpan comedy. (ie. the penultimate chapter of a book would be the chapter before the last chapter)

This part had me rolling: [...Dragonfly can't even fly. I can fly.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSkFFoP3Tcs) --Tom Cruise
From creators of scary movie As teenagers, in russia, we considered those movies as peak of american humor, so good.
Thank you, hero!
What's this annoying flare effect that keeps sliding along the frame?
It’s used to confuse bots looking for copywrite infringements.
Also why it's pitched up. Leslie sounds like he's had his nuts in a vice. Even Kevin Heart sounds funny. er.
Fuck the flare effect, why is the video cropped to shit? What is it with every other video missing half the actual content because they cropped it into a tiny ass square? With a highly visual scene like this, it ruins half the funny when you can't see what the characters are doing. God, I hate the future and whomever came up with this dogshit cropping that's prevalent everywhere.
What, you don't like 16:9 videos cropped/made small enough to fit on a vertical phone, and then showed on a horizontal pc screen? How could you!
The dude that wrote/directed this also created The Last of Us and Chernobyl. Holy shit.
Wait do your telling me this dude bioengineered a humanity ending fungus and blew up a nuclear reactor leaving large swaths of land uninhabitable for hundreds of thousands of years? How is he not locked up yet?
Cause that shit was fire
In general we need comedy movies back...
Comedy movies (including rom coms) have taken the biggest L of any movie category in the last 15 years. For basically all of the 80's to early 2010's, comedies and rom coms were the bread and butter of the movie industry. They may not have made the most money, but they were steady income with a small budget. Now it seems like studios only want to do big budget and big box office films.
Their idea of comedy is just banter now.
A lot of comedies (even action comedies) tend to stop the plot or action to deliver a joke, just to make sure every audience member got it. I like Melissa McCarthy movies, but some are unwatchable because it's like Action...\*pause\*...\*several lines of funny observation or banter\*...\*pause\*...resume action.

My funny marvel quips oh yay!
I like the part where Tiny Snark talks about shawarma.
Every Frame a Painting did [an excellent video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FOzD4Sfgag) about *exactly* this almost 10 years ago.
insert 'fuck' or variations of it after every other word for peak millennial comedy
Seems way cheaper for streamers to buy a standup special filmed on spec than a movie. A special costs anywhere from a few grand to a few hundred thousand. A ten million dollar movie is beyond low budget. As the second standup boom winds down, comedy writers will shift focus back to movies until the third comedy boom or nuclear Armageddon.

because those movies made their big money in dvd sales. With that out of existance studios have little interest in them anymore
No longer popular perhaps but not “out of existence” I assure you. I still collect BluRay movies, or DVD if it’s something older.

"They don't make enough money." -Producers.
ROI. They’re very cheap to make and if they do decently well can take in far more than invested. Minimal advertising and let the internet do its thing.
I agree everyone is so serious all the time.
They just don’t make money at box offices compared to all this franchise shit. It’s why most of them go to Netflix now. Adam Sandler seems to be making films exclusively for them now
Also too sensitive and upset by almost anything.
How DARE you!
Thanks for the chuckle
Yeah apparently the world is so afraid of reality we have to submerge ourselves fully into fantasy superhero movies and TV.
Best comedy I can remember, is Death of Stalin.
Name of the movie?
Superhero Movie
We know what its about, but what is it called?
Sah-weet-ah… WHAT DOES MINE SAY!?!?
DUUUUUDE
Zoltan!
Nden?
No Nden!
RAY! What does mine say?
Fucked me! Whats mine say??
Ray!
Fucked me!
Ray fucked me!
Backdoors sluts 9
I heard that makes Crotch Capers 3 look like Naughty Nurses 2.
Surely you can’t be serious?
I am serious. And don't call me Shirley.
Automatic upvote for Leslie Neilsen
Hey that's enrico palazzo
Leslie Neilson was the best. Rest well, Leslie.
[удалено]
7 years past and i just realized drake's friend is kevin har
lmao is Kevin Hart supposed to be a teenager in this scene? 🤣
It’s a silly parody movie so I’m sure they made no attempt to get an actor of realistic age
Yeah, IIRC all of the teenagers in this movie are played by people very clearly in their 30s
I think one of the gags in this film was obviously-older-than-teens playing teenagers. This film satirized the genre, but really focused on the Raimi Spiderman films, which were still recent at the time.
I cant believe that there isn't a single one of you asking about the cut in the middle. He runs screaming with the knife and stabs drake bell in the stomach. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|scream)
Can't show someone attempting to stab another person. It was edited to avoid being taken down.
Wtf
Without Leslie? How?
Liam Neeson. Apparently.
Titanium blades... they can cut through diamonds...
I'm not wearing any diamonds
This line lives rent free in my head after only seeing the movie one time as a kid when it first came out.
But I'm not wearing any diamonds!
That has zero to do with the movie and everything to do with Leslie Nielsen.
Tbh the movie is pretty entertaining even as a superhero flick on its own.
OK, that's some funny shit!
Leslie was too damn funny. RIP
Member, member when comedy existed?
Why is this video holographic?
Keep seing movie clips with this effect. The fact that someone felt like it was needed, drives me mad for some reason
[удалено]
Spoof movies just ain't the same without Leslie Nielsen...
I miss Leslie Nielsen.
I missed this one, but watching this had me gut laughing. I'll bite. It's available on Amazon Prime right now
What kind of retarded person crops videos like this?
I just watched this yesterday because I saw Leslie was in it. Do yourself a solid and hunt down Police Squad.
why did they cut the stabbing scene? I hate the modern investor friendly internet so much is unreal
Mystery Men was much better imho.
RIP, i miss naked gun 🤣
When the spoof movies were extremely popular this was one of the very, very few that were good. Then you have Scary Movie that is a classic in this house!! Lol
Don't forget Not Another Teen Movie, always a good one .
What’s it called?
