Ah man the Hot Shots! movies were both brilliant.
“What are you reading?”
“great expectations”
“Any good?”
“It’s not what I’d hoped for”
Charlie Sheen is underrated!
Yes!
National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon was a guilty pleasure too, and the Major League movies.
This is my favourite bit of Part Deux, and for some reason it's impossible to find a proper clip of it, so here:
I’ve got a long haul flight next week I think I’m gonna download the movie to my iPad
We get it, you're rich.
Just watch the six episodes of Police Squad and the original Naked Gun movies.
I always laugh at the locksmith episode of Police Squad

Sorry to bother you at this hour, we would’ve come earlier but your husband wasn’t dead then.
Wilma, I promise you; whatever scum did this, not one man on this force will rest one minute until he's behind bars. Now, let's grab a bite to eat.
In the Hot Shot movies when Saddam Hussein and the dog recombine.

Yeah, I love the Police Squad episodes as much as the Naked Gun films.
Cop: "Sergeant, take her away and book her".
Frank: (SHAKING THEIR HAND) "Sergeant Takeheraway, Sergeant Booker."
I've never watched the other films named as much, but I do enjoy Airplane and Hot Shots! whenever I've seen them. And never really got into the Police Academy films.
I'd recommend a few Gene Wilder films like Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles and Silver Streak.

I really can’t see Liam Neeson doing the Leslie Nielsen bit. He’s as wooden as they come, and I can’t think of a less funny actor.
I think he will be good in this and besides Leslie Nielsen was never a comedy actor until his later years as well

See No Evil, Hear No Evil was hilarious.
TVNorge did a lot of heavy lifting to make sure that franchise got seen by everybody in Norway back in the day
Can’t imagine it would hold up if I watched it today.
True. I forgot that one. That was another good Gene Wilder film.
When I searched for the locksmith clip I can across a reddit where people were asking for it to be explained. And once explained they still didn't get why it was funny. Sigh.
And this bit always tickles me for some reason.
I suspect even the first one has aged VERY badly. Thankfully I haven't seen it since it came out and abandoned the franchise after the 3rd one. Although I suspect Porkies has aged even worse as it was fairly creepy at the time. That said I remember a few scenes were very funny to a 16 year old Wibble in 1981. From the other clips I saw this was the peak of hilarity.

They're pretty crap. And haven't aged well either. But give 'em a spin and see.
That is comedic genius. It's perfect.
my thoughts exactly. He’s like the most unfunny actor I could imagine for this role
The style of humor in Naken Gun was also very late 80s / early 90s. It will be pretty hard to replicate in the present, nevermind that they don't have any suitable actors to do it.
National Lampoons were Like the USA version of "carry on" films
Drop Dead Fred: the return
Lethal Weapon IV
The one most people forget is THE BIG BUS, which predates AIRPLANE! and is actually much funnier than its IMDB score would suggest. TOP SECRET too.
Lethal weapon V
Cigarette?
Yes, I know.
Yes, I know.
Top Secret, absolutely.
Everything today is a remake or reboot or uncalled for follow up or prequel to something good
