Nothing will ever come close to deadpan Leslie Nielson and his voice.

Think Liam will crush it in this and it’s already been referenced a ton here but here is the actual skit. Hadn’t laughed that hard in a long time

This is the better clip (if you have FB): LINK (longer clip with more context)

Shorter version (on YouTube): Improvisational comedy.

Neeson absolutely could pull this off.. and Seth McFarlane has worked with him before, in a very similar deadpan way (in Ted he has a great scene about buying Trix, even though they are 'only for children').

So the director knows he can do it... but from the trailer it looks like someone insisted on inserting some typical slapstick humor, which probably won't land

One of the best stories I've heard about Nielson was that during the making of Airplane! the crew thought he had no sense of humor because he was the only actor who never laughed at the jokes.

He does, he just maintained the deadpan delivery the entire time. Man is a legend.

Has potential to be really funny or really terrible.



I'm going with terrible because they usually toss in some of the better parts of the film in the trailer to pique interest and those missed the mark for me-----by a lot.

Just like that skit its going to all come down to the writing. Which for comedy in Hollywood right now…I’m not hopeful.

Liam Neeson has the same initials. But no Leslie Neilson, no Naked Gun.

There are better dead pan actors out there. I get the feeling Neeson’s cop character in the Lego movie is what got him this part but that character isn’t Frank at all.

I have been hoping he would make a straight comedy since that scene. That scene is brilliant.

As I’ve said before, I’ve got full blown AIDS.

For anyone who hasn’t seen it:
