As everybody knows, on November 28th Leslie Nielsen passed away. Like most people my age, I grew up with Airplane! and the Naked Gun movies. I also grew up with the episode of SNL Mr. Nielsen hosted (repeat viewings were possible as my parents had taped it, being unable, even in those days, to stay up late enough to watch the show.) Needless to say, Mr. Nielsen and his comedic work made a huge impact on me (and proved that there are some forms of comedy best performed by dramatic actors). In honour of one of Canada's most awesome exports, here's my top 10 Leslie Nielsen lines:
(Truthfully, because it's late and I'm tired, the order isn't important except for number 1. Because it truly is one of the few lines that makes me laugh uncontrollably every single time I hear it. It also makes me giggle if I happen to think of it randomly. Leslie Nielsen, you will be sorely missed.)
10. Like a blind man at an orgy, I was going to have to feel things out.
9. The life of everyone on board depends upon just one thing: finding someone back there who can not only fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner.
8. I say unfunny things in an unfunny way. Somehow, it ends up funny.
7. I've been swimming in raw sewage. I love it. ...I LOVE IT!
6. It's like eating a spoonful of Drano; sure, it'll clean you out, but it'll leave you hollow inside.
5. ...Diarrhea...
4. I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you.
3. Oh, and one more thing... I faked every orgasm!
2. Uh, so many are cold, shivering in the night, so I say, butcher those cats, skin them! Use their fur to keep hundreds warm!
1. I haven't had this much sex since I was a boy scout leader! ....Um, at the time, I was dating... a lot...
