Oh my Godddd, that

Spoiler

OJ

bit.

 

[Drizzle]

Okay, that last joke got me.

 

[Pennywise]

 

[The Big G]

From Leslie Nielsen to Liam Neeson

that in itself is a fun joke

 

[Sawyer]

Hadn’t been paying enough attention to know one of the Lonely Island guys was in the mix. That’s a plus IMO.

 

[Dave McFly]

yeah but the title the naked gun is from 'the files of police squad' as in the unknown gunman aka the naked gun, never knew why they called the sequels and this 'the naked gun' I still loved the films but I always thought each film should have been 'name of movie: from the files of police squad'.

The last bit is a classic ZAZ joke. Not completely sold about the first scene but I'm so in for this.

The last joke was hilarious, but the opening thing was a solid 0/10, so it's hard to say how this'll turn out quite yet. Looking forward to the full trailer.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Yeah, the OJ joke was the best part of this.

The rest, not so sure.

And they lost a few points for not playing the Naked Gun theme right at the end. It better be in the movie!

Liam Neeson’s ‘Naked Gun’ Reboot Reveals First Trailer — With an O.J. Simpson Joke

Extended footage got big laughs when shared at CinemaCon for the franchise that kicked off with the Leslie Nielsen-led movie in 1988.

Naked Gun’s footage teases a tone that should please fans of the original series, including a moment in which Neeson beats a man with his own dismembered arms. There are also scenes suggesting sexual activity between Neeson and Pamela Anderson‘s character that are not quite what they seem. Another memorable moment references Nordberg, the role played in the original movies by O.J. Simpson.

In one scene, Neeson interrogates a character played by Busta Rhymes. “It says you’ve served 20 years for man’s laughter,” the. detective says. “Must have been quite the joke.”

 

[Sithborg]

That is very much in the vein of the original movies. The OJ joke killed me.

There's a donut in place of the badge LOL
That's the kind of details that will win me over.

So he plays the son of Frank Drebin. I don't recall Frank saying he had a son but I could be mistaken.

 

[DyeLorean]

Does this count?

Does this count?

I would not put it past this franchise for Frank to have two sons named Frank Jr.

It appears I'm in the minority, but the opening got an audible laugh from me.

This trailer just goes to show that, contrary to what Conservatives/MAGA will tell you, you can, in fact, do hilariously funny, crass and slightly controversial humor and jokes without having to be misogynistic, racist, tasteless or mean spirited.

Weren't the Deadpool films already evident of that? Heck, even before that we've had countless comedies do that as of recent.

Found a different scene at the end:

Let Weird Al come back for this:
