I see that Leslie Nielsen passed away. He certainly carved out a niche for himself in stupid comedies.

I loved him in Airplane and Dead and Loving it. He always made me laugh.

Aww man. I just saw this. He made me laugh. Too bad.

So much humor is based in cruelty. See The Stooges, or Abbot and Costello, or Laurel and Hardy, for example.
It's a rare gift to make people laugh without making someone the butt of the joke.

I loved Leslie Neilsen since I first saw him in SWAMP FOX, on the Wonderful World of Disney beginning 1959. He was a fox himself, back then, was dear Leslie. Actually, he retained his good looks throughout his life.
How about FORBIDDEN PLANET or the more silly TAMMY AND THE BACHELOR, both of which I enjoyed.
And his Frank Drebin roles are priceless. He was a great practical joker, too, from what I understand.
Leslie, you will be missed.

A great man. I love Forbidden Planet as a film but unfortunately I has seen Airplane first so whilst the ferocious monster of the Id was rampaging about I couldnt help expecting an outrageous joke to come along.
I like to think of him at the back of the heavenly choir making farting noises during the quiet bits, or telling St.Peter not to call him Shirley.

I think you're exactly right, Peter. Neilsen seems to have been beloved by his family and friends. I think he carried a whoopee cushion with him wherever he went. Heaven's going be a funnier, if fartier, place now.

Very sad news. I really liked Naked Gun series.
A few decades ago Leslie Nielsen came to Japan and he played funny character in Japanese comedy show.
