Nice beaver!

RIP, Mr. Nielson.

LMAO man that's why I'm sad to see all these guys starting to go, true comedy. I've never laughed harder through movies than I did Naked Gun and Airplane!

I hear ya. I now tend to fall asleep while watching comedies. Either I'm just a stick in the mud, or they just don't make them like they used to. I think it's the latter.

I really like his movies. I especially liked how he could keep a straight face though some of his comedy which just added to the humor.

Airplane was my favorite

It's definitely the latter. I can appreciate raunchy humor to a degree, but if all you can do is say F*** and make sex jokes it's not that funny to me.

I'll take Airplane, Naked Gun, Mel Brooks movies, etc any day.

I think the social mores of the day made the comedy much better. The subtlety of comedy back then and the fact that you had to think about it and "get" the references, made the comedy much more engaging and enjoyable.

He did comedy like Looney Toons did cartoons. Intelligent humour that had numerous levels that anyone could get, yet had some sophistication to it. It's easy to be blue funny, it is a true comedian that can be funny smart.

Wow, what a shame. He was really funny.

They don't make funny movies like he was in anymore.

Police squad, Airplane, Naked gun 33-1/3 etc.

He will be missed.
