Another one bites the dust

From "Stop calling me Shirley" to "Move on, people, nothing to see here" to the all-time classic "Nice beaver"... Leslie Nielsen created more than his fair share of laugh-out-loud moments.


I love it when people who have made their entire careers out of playing po-faced straight men suddenly turn out to be geniuses at self-parody. Leslie was one of the best, and it's a shame to lose him so soon after Captain Oveur, his Airplane! colleague, Peter Graves. RIP.

Airplane is one of my all time faves!
Sad news.
RIP Mr Don't call me Shirley.
Thank you for all the laughs.
