The food in Frank’s kitchen being expired is a meta joke. _Police Squad_ began and ended in 1982, so he hadn’t been back to his apartment since then. The show is also great. Same rapid fire style of silly humor, and clever plays on tropes.
Leslie Nielsen was known as a dramatic actor for a couple of decades before 1980. He was cast in Airplane becauae having a serious actor deliver those silly lines made them even funnier. But it turned out that he had a knack for comedy, and that's what he's been famous for ever since.
That is because Leslie Nielsen is Canadian and all Canadians must be funny by law. Side note: Leslie Nielsen's brother Eric was at one time the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada.
17:48 back in the 80's packaged pistaccio nuts were a very popular snack. However the shells were dyed red and would stain your lips red. They were throwing the empty shells out of the car
"One story says that the tradition of dying pistachios originated with a Syrian importer named Zaloom, who dyed his pistachios red to distinguish them from his competitors. Another story holds pistachios were dyed to mask mottled markings, a natural result of the drying process, and other imperfections to make them look more palatable to consumers. Today, this story is the one most food historians agree upon." From a member of the red pistachio generation...this seems to be agreed upon origin story, at least what I could be bothered to read. And yes, you looked like you had applied red lipstick after eating a bag or 2....
@@codymoe4986 I seem to remember eating other packaged pistachios at the whose shells were heavily coated with salt. I liked both kinds. Am I hallucinating?
@@alansorensen5903 no, old ones were imported & dyed red because the shells would get stained & look gross & discolored now they are from California & undyed
The actor who fell into the toxic vat was reprising his 1982 fall into a toxic vat to become the titular character in Adrienne Barbeau's horror flick The Swamp Thing.
The Naked Gun only came out 6 months prior to Batman. It's a pretty common movie trope for someone to fall in chemicals and to have their hand coming up, but Joker's origin story in terms of the acid was established in 1951.

POLICE SQUAD! was a parody of 70's cop shows, and it only lasted five episodes until it was cancelled before the sixth could air. Later on, a similar show called SLEDGEHAMMER!--with some of the same writers, and more directly a parody of Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry ran for a few seasons.
I played baseball, basketball and football but baseball was by far the most fun and the hardest to be good at. Doesnt matter how strong you are if you dont have impeccable timing and reaction speed of a cat…
3:18. Just David Zucker, starring Matt Stone and Trey Parker of South Park fame. Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker as a trio are famous for The Naked Gun trilogy, Airplane!, Top Secret!, Ruthless People and The Kentucky Fried Movie (all comedies).
The Nuts they are eating in the stake out are pistashios, if you go way back they used to colour them pink/redish. Then they stopped becuase the dye was found to be toxic.
Actually, no, that is just a myth. As stated on a number of official sites: 'The disappearance of red-dyed pistachios can be directly traced to the growth of domestic pistachio production in the United States. Before the 1970s, pistachios were imported from Iran and other Middle Eastern countries to the United States. In addition to mottled markings on the pistachio shells from drying, these imported pistachios generally had a host of unappetizing stains and discolorations due to traditional harvesting methods in which the pistachios were not hulled and washed immediately after harvest.' 'So Middle Eastern producers and exporters took to dying their product red. The few American pistachio producers at the time followed their imported counterparts and began to dye their product as well, if only because Americans were used to seeing these bright red-pink nuts. But the 1980s saw a decline in imported pistachios as an embargo on Iranian pistachios was enforced.'
They used to be dyed to cover up any discoloration or imperfections in the shells which would make them appear rotten. Also to tell them from other nuts.
At 1:28 you can see around the table: Fidel Castro (Cuba), Yasser Arafat (PLO), Mikhail Gorbatchev (Russia), the Ayatollah Khomeini (Iran), Idi Amin Dada (Ouganda) and Mouammar Kadhafi (Lybia.) You should skip (the lame) Naked gun 2 1/2 and 33 1/3 and watch instead the original series: ''From the files of police squad'' - only 6 episodes. An even crazier genesis. Canadian Leslie Nielson was a dramatic actor until he appeared in ''Airplane'' and he was quite good in the 1995 horror spoof ''Dracula: dead and loving it.''
My only issue with the first Naked Gun movies is, when they showed commercials for it, I wanted to see it. My dad went to the video place and picked up the VHS of the episodes of Police Squad and we loved them. They take a buncha jokes from the show for this one. Still loved it, but (the best compliment for a movie) I wanted more. Thankfully, we got 2 more after.
An insanely funny comedy! God knows how much self-control Priscilla Presley and the rest of Nielsen's partners needed to play their very serious roles!... 😂
The use of the word naked doesn’t mean unclothed. It means visible. The title is a parody of a old soap opera that was called The Naked City.

I love the reaction, especially the joke about it being a reality show when OJ was running around in the ski mask.
On the directors commentary they make the same joke.
5:15 - Weird Al's music has been on the radio since 1976.

'I Love L.A.' by Randy Newman is played after every LA Dodgers home victory. Something amazing when you're there.
“Goodyear?”
“No, the worst.”
The best goofy comedy trilogy plz watch the other two ❤ they are so amazing 🎉 Rip Leslie
@thesaltnation5570 we have watched them already on our patreon, and will be out on UA-cam in due time 👍🏼
Airplane! Was Leslie Nelson's breakthrough role that brought him into comedy

And if you don’t have reaction speed greater than a tiger… well, we saw what happens in this movie.
Even reactors who recognize Yassir Arafat and Reggie Jackson don't remember that pistachios used to be dyed red.

Pistachio shells used to be dyed pink for some reason. You did indeed get stained lips when you ate a decent quantity.

@@jamesdamiano8894 yes the shells would stain different colors & look weird
looking forward to watching you guys experience the Naked Gun trilogy!
Leslie Neilson was a drama actor for 30 yrs , from the 50s , airplane was his first comedy

Haha great stuff chaps!
Already loving this reaction just from the St. Kilda sweater!
Reggie Jackson sounds like a baseballers name to you because he was also in Baseketball
Forgot how fricking funny this movie is!!! Thanks guys! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"I don't know who that is."
The Internet is free you know.
That's indeed 'Mr. October' Reggie Jackson.
Leslie Nielsen was great in Scary Movie 3 and 4.

Leslie Nielsen was legally deaf.

One of my favorite movies with George Kennedy is, The Eiger Sanction. If you haven't seen it give it a watch.
Great reaction!!!!!!
You’re the only reactors to recognise Lawrence Tierny.
They are eating pistachios, they used to dye them pink for some reason.
Purely cosmetic. It was to cover up discoloration of the shells, which was caused by the harvesting methods used at the time.
The use of the word naked doesn’t mean unclothed. It means visible. The title is a parody of a old soap opera that was called The Naked City. If your not familiar with the use of the word naked in the title then yes you might think that it means unclothed but it doesn’t mean that it means visible or unbidden instead.
@@Squarecubezstop being a dick for no reason
Wrongfully Accused is another hilarious Leslie Nielsen movie worth watching.
RIP Orange Juice
More jokes in the credits. AIRPLANE! totally holds up.
Baseball players used to chew tobacco. Reason for all fhe spitting lol
Why did they want to go with that very long title? Because perhaps the tv series that preceded it
Red pistachio nuts. Theyre no longer made :(
🖤
Needs an audible exhale counter ;P
Love this film! Apparently they r doing a reboot with Liam Neeson? I think Seth McFarlane is involved too?
Ya thats fn garbage
@@bradkirchhoff5703 it might not be if it’s done correctly? But I will wait and see.
Hollywood ran out of ideas, and they gotta walk on eggshells these days so as not to offend any pssies
I love this film so much! They just don't make them like this anymore.
😂😂😂😂😂❤
You guys are so handsome
Too much cutting, even midword.
Wrongfully Accused
I love how Leslie Neilson delivers a deadpan joke. He was Also the lead actor in "Forbidden Planet"
And the actress who played the Mayor, later on went on to play Tony Soprano's mother, Livia Soprano, in The Soprano's
