Has to be one of the best 30 minute stretches in comedy. I caught it on one of the movie channels this morning, probably for the first time in 10 years. I don't think I stopped laughing. From Enrico Palazzo, to the strike three dance, the highlight reel with the tiger, to the umps in the rundown and Frank tossing Joe West out of the game... I think every joke landed.

Everything you just said.....I agree with. Classic scene from a classic film.

Love how he calls the strike before the ball hits the catcher's mitt. Leslie Nielson was one of the all time comedic greats.

Surely you can't be serious?

I want to watch the whole thing, but I'm thinking the first two acts are going to be underwhelming compared to the third. I was probably a kid the last time I saw it.

It's one of the funniest sequences I've ever seen

i lost when the commentators were watching old highlight clips before the game and the shortstop was attacked by a tiger while fielding a ground ball.

Probably the hardest I've ever laughed in a movie theater. That and the penis lineup scene in Porky's.

Might be the single funniest sequence in any movie.

Jesus christ thats a long read... Wanted to read it, but after reading the first two portions, its just horribly written and repetitive. Can't bring myself to go through the rest

I seem to recall the OJ slapstick bit was pretty funny. Not sure I've watched it since OJ went on a murder spree.

Its a much longer version of the camp fire scene from Blazing Saddles. Hilarious from start to finish and never a slow moment.

I absolutely love this part of the movie. Hilarious

Then the award scene from naked gun 33 1/3 is freaking awesome too. Freaking Phil Donahue! Lol
