“I’ve got nine more” is one of THE funniest lines. As a diehard Airplane! fan I can’t believe it took this long to watch this.

Airplane! is one of my favorite comedies of all time, so it was no surprise that I ended up loving The Naked Gun as much as I did. It has all the same hilariously bad Dad-joke puns ("Goodyear?" / "No, the worst.") and masochistic slapstick (a man gets shot and then stumbles around incurring a series of much more minor injuries) that made me fall in love with Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker's masterpiece. There's an extended joke about Drebin going to the bathroom with his mic still on that had me rolling my eyes, but if anything this is just a testament to the way Zucker is willing to throw everything at the wall to see what sticks (there's so much background detail…

"Goodyear?" "No, the worst."
Unless someone out there wants to go to bat for Austin Powers, this is the last truly great, truly silly mainstream film comedy, with a deadpan heart and a slapstick soul. But on top of all that, there's an almost cathartic anti-authoritarian edge here, intentional or not, showing the adventures of an entitled idiot who causes havoc and disaster wherever he goes, only to be celebrated and commemorated for it because he's a cop. Thank God it's only a movie.

Isolation comfort movie.
"Hey, it's Enrico Pallazzo!" might make me laugh more than any other line in cinema. Don't know why.

One of the funniest films I’ve seen in a long time .
The naked gun mixes witty humour with silliness and puns and also drama ! I really adore everything this film did and I will be checking out the sequels soon . Leslie Nielsen is also brilliant in this .
This might be a hot take but
The naked gun > Airplane . You know I’m right !Overall this is hilarious and I recommend it to all of you because it’s simply amazing .

The real question that The Naked Gun poses is not why it's one of the funniest spoofs ever made, but why virtually no subsequent movie in this genre has been any good at all. I used to adore this sort of movie when I was a kid – “Airplane!”, “Top Secret”, and the six-episode "Police Squad" show, which became the basis for the Naked Gun series, were among the funniest films I knew. When I first saw The Naked Gun on VHS when I was ten, I was in uncontrollable laughter for the first few minutes. That was my standard of great humor at the time.
But the following decades gave us a variety of similar spoof films, some of…

I can see where Shawn Levy got his ideas for The Pink Panther.
Stupid yet absolutely hilarious comedy which is right up my alley. Was laughing more than I thought I would. Leslie Nelson couldn’t have done better.
May have to watch the sequel now but will definitely be making time to watch Airplane!

Meh. I tried once with Airplane a few years ago, some of it is funny but I suppose these spoof movies just aren't my thing.

This movie is hilarious! Frank is one of the best comedic roles ever. The spy and comedy mixed together really works and so doesn’t the story as well especially.
