I Think the World Went Downhill After Leslie Nielsen Died

Where are his nudes?

He was fine his whole life.

Such great deadpan delivery.

His shirtless scene in the first Naked Gun is definitely worth a look.

I had no idea that he died. When?

R6 also wants a new car and is looking for an Oldsmobile.

He was hilarious until someone told him he was hilarious.

Isn't Leslie a woman's name?

What does that mean, R8?

R9 As explained by Higgins in Ted Lasso, the name is a 'feminine junior" -- the boy is named after his mother.

I always thought he was hot as fuck - every decade.

I loved Wrongfully Accused. I used to see his daughters in horse shows 40 years ago.

We'll never see the likes of the Swamp Fox again!

The nerve of his parents!

That was a good one, R13. I forgot about it. And it’s on Tubi! I’m watching it right now thanks to you.

NEVER 4GET.

All three Naked Gun movies are on Max. I watched them all during a bout with COVID.

The first one is still hilarious, the second one falters, but the third one is not bad at all (and features a scene with Pia Zadora playing herself at the Oscars).

He developed quite the pot belly when he mocked Demi Moore’s beautiful pregnancy 🫄 cover of Vanity Fair magazine.

Good Lord he was an attractive man.

[quote]What does that mean, [R8]?

Not R8, but I think what they mean is that the hilarity faded when he became self aware and started putting obvious effort into being funny.

TCM shows 'Forbidden Planet' frequently--it's on Monday, Feb. 26th and again on April 22.

Fun fact - he lost a toe in a mowing accident as a child.

So Leslie Nielsen in bikini briefs with Barbra Streisand is pretty much gay nirvana circa 1985, right?

Said to be gay even though he got married several times.

[quote]His shirtless scene in the first Naked Gun is definitely worth a look.

R5, he's shirtless in Tammy and the Bachelor.

Found a picture. ^

And, he was an old beau of Jessica Fletcher, and he married Dorothy Zbornak.

That digit got mulched!

OP, the world started going downhill the day Adam died, and the descent is only getting faster.

It’s like Charles Nelson Reilly was hiding inside he-man Leslie Nielsen all those years and then he started busting out.

I remember being 10 or so when I first say Naked Gun. I clearly had a daddy thing even then because I could not keep my eyes off Nielsen.

I was in love. I think I even planned our wedding at some point.

That would be a granddaddy thing, R32.

I was in my mid-teens when the Naked Gun films came out and I felt the same way, R32

You guys are different. I also first saw the Naked Gun movies as a kid but I never thought to myself “God I wish Frank Drebin would plow me.”

I'm not R32, but he said he planned their wedding when he was 10, not "God I wish Frank Drebin would plow me.”

Lawd Op if you think that all one can say is Lawd.

OP, how come you didn’t say “passed away” like a timid Gen Z?

Bring back Leslie

What do you think he was planning to happen on the wedding night, r36?

Don't call him Shirley.

I still love the Naked Gun films. Yes they're silly, but sometimes you just need a bit of silly humour.

I have to admit he had a great body for his age in that "Nuts" clip.

So good WE NAMED IT!!!!

Jim Abrahams, the man who helped birth Leslie as we know him today, has just died.

The dude couldn't captain a boat for shit!

“It’s a twister! It’s a twister! 🌪️ “

He’s a shirtless brute for the last half of the running time of “Day of the Animals”. He gets his comeuppance by being mauled by a grizzly bear while attempting to rape Andrew Stevens’ girlfriend in a thunderstorm! ⛈️

Didn’t Bea find him insufferable? I seem to recall reading that he passed gas as a form of humor on the set and the Girls were less than charmed.

He gave up the "serious dramatic actor" career for comedy and killed it! Airplane will live forever. God bless you, Leslie, and RIP.

He hosted a great late 80s SNL.

“By the way, I’m terrified of gorillas so please don’t dress like one.”

I have "The Naked Gun" trilogy DVD signed by him. Thanks CHILLER!

I just watched The Naked Gun movies like a week ago on Tubi. I’ll never get tired of them,

R36, I don't think I was quite ready to give up my bussy at age 10.

But in a few short years there after? Oh hell yeah. Nielsen could have done whatever he wanted.

I can still jack off to him! Haha.

He enjoyed pranking with whoopee cushions and fart sounds. What's not to love about the guy?

He's walking around in heaven with his portable fart device, annoying everyone reading the Bible to the swans by the lake

I may have been the uglier sibling but at least I have an airport named after me

Close all water tight doors!!!!

Thank you for posting that, R57. I read the whole fascinating article just now. I hadn’t a clue about any of that stuff and learned quite a few things about Canada and its politics. I didn’t even know Leslie had a brother.

[QUOTE] Now you may notice that Nielsen’s last name is somewhat familiar. Well, there is a reason for that but I did not go into it in much detail because this episode is about Erik, not his world famous brother, Leslie. That’s right, Leslie Nielsen was the brother of Erik Nielsen and would only outlive him by two years, passing away in 2010. For 20 years, Leslie was known as the brother of Erik, who was much more famous, but by the 1980s, Erik was known as the brother of Leslie and he was often mistaken for him out in public.
