Yes, I’m a day late with this… Sorry, it was written, I just didn’t post it up!
Anyway, today (that’s yesterday), the world lost a comedy legend. I absolutely love his work, and I could watch his movies over and over again (besides the Scary Movie ones, but in all fairness he stole the show whenever he was on the screen in those).
What surprises me is the amount of people who don’t really rate him and – even more disgraceful – how many people don’t actually know who he is.
Yes, sure, there are a million people in the world more important than him; the world was never going to come to a standstill when he died or anything. But you have to give him credit – there wasn’t anyone as prolific or as good as what he did. True, he was corny, cheesy and maybe just a little bit silly – but that’s what made him so great at slapstick. He was, in his own right, a legend.
So for those of you who still don’t know him, enjoy this. There really are hundreds of clips that I could've put on here, but for me this is my favourite.
RIP Leslie Nielsen
