P.K. Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Usually American so-called "humour" leaves me cold. Not so Mr Nielson in Police Squad and Airplane! I would also add Topper Harley from the same stable. On being dumped by his girlfriend: Ed: "Don't torture yourself Frank. Just get her out of your mind." Frank: "I can't. And the guy, what do you know about him?" Ed: "Not much. Just that he's an Olympic Gymnast and it's the best sex she's ever had..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrighty Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 To paraphrase Drebbin in (I think) Naked Gun 2.5: "Pneumonia. That's no way to die. Being shot in your 80s, by your 20 year old lover's husband, while on the job. Now that's a way to die" Great comedy actor - the police squad episodes, despite being the same each week, are my favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkydevil Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Nielsen: Can you describe the man? Woman: He had a moustache. About 6ft 3. Nielsen: That's a hell of a moustache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
