The Naked Gun (1988)

This week, the dads go full slapstick with The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!, the 1988 Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker comedy where every line is a setup, every gag has a gag, and Leslie Nielsen’s Frank Drebin is the king of oblivious chaos.

Steve and Nic break down what makes this one still land after all these years: the rapid-fire jokes, the perfectly straight-faced delivery, and the way Nielsen turns bumbling incompetence into comedic gold. They call out favorite sight gags, marvel at the pacing (there’s a lot packed into 85 minutes), and try to explain just how funny it is to watch O.J. Simpson get destroyed by every inanimate object known to man.

From romantic montages set to Herman's Hermits, to Queen Elizabeth getting attacked at a baseball game, this movie doesn’t just spoof cop dramas — it goes full cartoon, and the dads are absolutely here for it.

It’s dumb. It’s brilliant. Sure, it might be 50/50 that you don’t laugh at least once during this episode… but there's only a 10% chance of that.
