The prop by itself wasn't the comedy, it's Leslie's timing and how he would just pause enough to make you think "Did he actually just fart?". Excellent comedic timing.
I loved the later Dave clip where he does the big leg swing and -- nothing -- then a small leg swing once you thing you're free of him doing it only for him to poot-noise
He’s literally a maestro of the fart machine, a virtuoso of the instrument. From short paps to long winded rips, there was an endless vocabulary. Bravo Leslie , bravo.
The fact Leslie's whole comedic career was minimal laughing and being serious is epic. I don't think we'll see someone execute that deadpan, slapstick comedic like him. He's so missed.
Timing is everything in the field of professional flatulence. What tickles me is the ones who act like they've never farted in their lives. It makes the moments that much sweeter.....well pungent.
This video is officially my new antidepressant. Leslie was a legend. A man that set out to be a leading man in serious dramas, only to become the most unlikely comedic superstar after decades of dramatic work that had very limited success. He took everything in stride, and cherished and relished his role as the comedic straight man. He just seemed like he genuinely loved to make people laugh and bring them joy. He took his chops as a dramatic actor and turned them into some of the best comedic timing in the history of comedy. I miss his presence in movies every time I see him. Plus, who doesn't enjoy a good ol' fart joke every now and then? We all need a reminder to take life less seriously once in a while. R.I.P. Mr. Nielson.
There´s a cool story told by comedians/late night hosts here in Spain. While on promotion here, he went into make up and such before getting into an interview, he missed a step or anything like that and fell off. Everyone in the room was in shock, and they thought he would injured himself pretty badly. He didn´t move. After some eternal seconds, a fart noise came from the ground. Everyone was relieved.
Yeah for some reason leslie is the only one who’s fart jokes (pranks*) still get me at 20 years old. He doesnt try too hard and actually has the funniest “everything is normal” gestures to go with them
His comedic timing is unmatched. He knows exactly when and how often to hit that button so that it's never quite when you expect it, and never too often. It's actually a very delicate thing to master because something as crude as a fart machine gets obnoxious fast, but not in his hands. Mr. Nielsen was a king.
I just about lost my mind seeing this interviews with him. Can't dunk on a man that embraced the humor of this, and gave everybody a taste of how awesome he was! I will miss him so much!
He's like the world's zany grandpa. There are a bunch of actors who I think it'd be cool to hang out with, but not many I really wish I could know in some capacity. He was a groovy froob, RIP, legend
Hilarious every time! Absolutely brilliant that he brought this to interviews. The epitome of injecting (or releasing) fun in any situation. One of the best!
So far still the first and only celebrity death that genuinely made me cry. The world became just a tad less fun when we lost him. I would've missed him sooner, but he hadn't died yet.
We've all cried in laughter many times watching the Naked Gun Movies , I was at the age of 11-14 when they were in the theatres . These movies were beyond hilarious at that age and it was all good hearted humor which we don't see anymore .
Loved him in Airplane and of course Police Squad and subsequent movies. Multi talented actor who went from serious drama to comedy. He brought a smile and a laugh to millions.
Leslie Nielsen is one of the few once in a lifetime legends we will never see the likes again; and we are all fortunate enough to have experienced his talent!
I watch every movie Leslie Neilson I come across beginning with The Forbidden Planet up to his comedies. He's tremendously talented and will be greatly missed.
I’ll never forget staying home from school, playing free for all in MW2, and hearing from two other guys in the game that he passed. We spent the next few matches talking and laughing about his best stuff and how we missed him. Man, that day was too surreal.
Leslie Nielsen has been making me laugh for 20 years. I never really got to see him live in a candid interview but what a great man he must have been indeed
Classical Leslie, after all he was a professor at the University of the stooges. I always remembered that little gadget he had when doing the mission impossible scene in wrongfully accused, I searched high and low and to no end…have i been successful. Rip in peace Leslie
he was trying so hard to get that last guy to crack and it finally worked. There's seldom anything funnier than deadpan delivery of awkward moments. Nielsen was a master at that.
My go to clip when everything else is falling apart. What a gem he was. So missed. Thanks for all the laughs Leslie Nielsen. Keep 'em rippin' up there xx
the fact he can keep a straight face for most of this and just play it off so naturally shows how good an actor he is without even having seen anything he's been in
As well as being a comedic legend, Nielsen also starred in perhaps my favourite sci-fi movie of all time, Forbidden Planet. An astonishing film, with amazing props and special effects, especially considering it was produced in 1956. Sadly, it is all but ignored by the networks.
No matter how old I get, farts will ALWAYS be funny. I never forget the times it would be silent in class and then somebody (sometimes me as a bit of a class clown) would let one rip. Nothing funnier!
Farts can be funny but also useful! I remember, a very long time ago, when smoking was banned in public places (restaurants), we were having lunch at this restaurant and these 2 morons sat and started smoking. The staff tried to get them to stop, but their arrogance and self importance wouldn't allow them to respect others. So.... being the kind of person who knows how to handle ID10TS like that, I went over to their table and said something like, "Ok, so if you don't want to stop smoking, then please enjoy this!"... I paused... turned around and let out one of the biggest, loudest farts right in their faces! ROFL The shock on their faces was amazing and they got up and left... yes.. IN A HUFF! The staff busted out laughing. 😅😂🤣👍
It might seem like a cheap and primitive form of joke but the way this man placed the juciy sound casually in a middle of a line is impeccable. A true legend which I miss till this day.
The “just a little bit” line on letterman was perfect. I like to think Leslie is laughing so hard bc he the randomized fart was a little fart and he says “just a little bit”
Thanks for including his appearance on Hey Hey, it's Saturday!. For decades it was the pinnacle of Australian TV comedy, Leslie would have fit right in with them.
I'm crying watching this, it's so purile, but absolutely hilarious. What makes it even more funny is the fact that after many years of playing this prank Leslie still found it just as funny as when he first started.
Why am I only now learning this about Leslie Nielsen? The man was a grand master of the craft. The timing, facial expressions and body language are all perfect.
My first "meeting" of Leslie Nielsen was watching "Forbidden Planet" on TV! Many years later, when he did "Airplane" he was so totally different from all of his previous movies, and he was a magnificent comedian!
Leslie Nielsen był jest i będzie jednym z najwspanialszych ludzi na świecie i najwybitniejszych aktorów. Strata tego człowieka to Potężny cios dla ludzkości :-(
I'm in my 40s and I'm proud to admit that fart humor still cracks me. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. And who better to deliver it than the legend himself! So unfortunate he is gone. I watched so many of his movies as a kid/teenager/adult.
I’m glad I grew up with his movies and his comedy. Even in his afterlife he still cracks me up! Which reminds me, I got to go watch airplane, spy hard, naked gun and scary movie three again.
This isn't just about squeezing a prop. His timing was perfect and there was always some kind of physical movement that would make it seem really natural and convincing. He was an artist at fake-farting.
Absolutely hilarious. I had tears of laughter most of the way through. I often wonder how many takes they got to do with Leslie on set. His humor is spot on with the straight face as if nothing is wrong.
He portrays us all so well. When you let off the gas and know it was heard and soon felt by everyone around you, so you try to keep talking like nothing happened.
Gotta admire a man who lived into his 80's and enjoyed fart humor until the day he died. RIP Mr. Nielsen, you are a legend.
“RIP,” no pun intended 😄
Seriously, though, truly great comedian
Seriously 😒 though... And don't call him Shirley!
Sadly, slapstick comedy is dying out thanks to wokism. 😩

@@YautjaSpacePirate And the award for the category of the Greatest False Equivalence or Non Sequitur goes to ...
I love how he stumbles in his speech as if he's actually pushing one out
That his comedic genius, really sells the joke
The one at 1:02 is masterly timed! Notice how Leslie himself cracks on that one.
This is a man who was dedicated to his craft, for sure.
In all of these he was using his prop to make the noise, but he knew how to make it look like it was natural.
I just ordered a Pooter Tooter because of this. Lol
The prop by itself wasn't the comedy, it's Leslie's timing and how he would just pause enough to make you think "Did he actually just fart?". Excellent comedic timing.
It was also funny how it seemed to come at an ironically opportune time of his dialogue.
pbl a demon coming out of this evil ass. wakeup sheep
Especially when he moves about, his timing was perfect with the dialogue as the cherry on top.
And his reaction and the way he looks immediately after

Leslie Nielsen is sorely missed.
Don't call him Shirley
Word
Sorely? Not really. You don't even think about him.
Ass-orley perhaps?
Don’t call him sorely
I've seen him keep a straight face for so much of his career that it was refreshing to see him break.
A hearty chuckle!
I wouldn’t say those farts were refreshing, frankly they were quite foul smelling.
You should see the outtakes of "Police Squad" :P
@@MisterDutch93 bro they weren't real farts 😊
Nielsen truly played that thing like a musical instrument...okay, maybe that was a bad choice of words...
The fact that he thinks it's the funniest thing ever just makes it a million times more funny. What a guy.
The fact Leslie's whole comedic career was minimal laughing and being serious is epic. I don't think we'll see someone execute that deadpan, slapstick comedic like him. He's so missed.
I miss him too! Slapstick comedy is dying sadly...😭
I am serious and don't call me Shirley.
Fred Willard and Super Dave were great at it too but it seems like it’s a lost art.
His timing of these are just perfect.
And not just the timing, it's like he has the perfect fart for any situation.
Yeah, the little pause and grunt he does really sells it.

I don't like fart jokes
Jack Vale.
Well said, Also PPPFFFBBBBTTTTT
RIP.....I see what you did there.
its not just the farting, its the perfect comedic timing
Nobody else has ever come close to replacing him. His style and personality truly was one of a kind.
The timing and the unwavering facial expression. Amazing. 😂
These are some of the best set up fart jokes of all time.
DaVinci tier genius
the best
I was devastated when he departed from this sad world. I miss him a big time. He was like a beacon of light in the darkness. RIP Leslie. Thank you.
defarted
I dare say a solid 40-60 percent of my dad joke repertoire was directly influenced by this man.
Absolute legend!
This was sophomoric, intellectually vacuous and lowbrow to the extreme. I enjoyed every second of it.
Wow... now those were some new vocabularies for my collection.
It was freshmanic

I like to think the Fart Machine was just a prop and he made all the noises the ol’ fashioned way
He used the machine to hide his flatulence
That was a machine?
@@carlgoogle2869 Yes, you can see it at the beginning.
Ah. But maybe he has the machine to make you think they aren't real. Ah the old fart toy ploy.
It was a machine? Surely you cant be serious .

What a great way to break the ice and start the conversation on a humorous note.
He's like the world's zany grandpa. There are a bunch of actors who I think it'd be cool to hang out with, but not many I really wish I could know in some capacity. He was a groovy froob, RIP, legend
I absolutely love when the hosts were clueless or uncomfortable in the gag!
Aw. I miss him.
It was his personality that made this acceptable AND funny. No one else has pulled this off- for a reason. His was special, and he will be missed.
Every fart was in perfect context. That is the mark of the fartsmith!
"Lavatory humour embarrasses me." 🤣🤣
Leslie Nielsen was one of a kind.
And this is the quality, insightful, informative and educational material I subscribed to this channel for.
This guy was one of my favourite comedy actors when I was growing up in the 80s( first film I saw him in was "Airplane") RIP legend
Hilarious every time! Absolutely brilliant that he brought this to interviews. The epitome of injecting (or releasing) fun in any situation. One of the best!
“Somtimes you just get a wrong piece of salmon” I don’t know what I like about this line but it just cracks me up.
Thats why leslie is my all time favorite actor
Same, I love his sense of humor. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This man was my favorite actor as a child and he pretty much molded my sense humor to the weirdness it is today :D
I am crying with laughter over these clips, he was a class in his own. Sorely missed.
My face hurts from laughing, I miss that wonderful man.
How can not like this man?!!
He's like the ultimate funny grandpa
Did you hear the “starter pistol”?😂😂😂😂😂😂

That comedic timing though. He always picks a funny moment, but not the most obvious moment.
So far still the first and only celebrity death that genuinely made me cry. The world became just a tad less fun when we lost him.
I would've missed him sooner, but he hadn't died yet.
