From deadpan deliveries to absolutely absurd gags, we break down why this parody classic still hits just as hard today. We talk about the genius of the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker trio, the brilliance of casting straight-laced actors like Leslie Nielsen in completely ridiculous roles, and how the film manages to cram more jokes into 90 minutes than most comedies do in a trilogy. Plus, we share our favorite lines, background gags, and the moments that still catch us off guard.
