Here's a quiz in movies for a change! See if you can spot the 50 hidden movie titles in this picture.

The person who guesses the most movie titles correctly wins a small boost in self-esteem and one week's worth of diarrhea related suffering brought to you by the new Prosperity Burger from Mc Donalds.

Surely, we'll miss him!

Yes, we will, but don’t call him Shirley!

Remember the long, sad list of awfully talented people who passed away in 2010? No, not Bieber. I said ‘talented’. What’s wrong with you!? And she’s still alive... I think. Bummer... Anyway, the mourning continues and this time, adding to the list of pure talents who have left us to the big stage above is funnyman, Leslie Nielsen who passed away on 28th November 2010, at the age of 84 due to pneumonia. Teh Moose flips the finger to pneumonia! And Jersey Shore and raisins too, while I'm at it.

A tragic loss indeed especially since movies like Airplane, Naked Gun, Repossessed, Dracula: Dead and Loving It and the short-lived series Police Squad holds a special place in the hearts and funny bones of many. To pay tribute to this much-loved king of deadpan one-liners, Teh Moose presents to you some of his most memorable movie quotes.

Rest in Peace, you awesome man

NOTE: You’ll need to memorise at least one of these and share it with your spouse, parents, cousins, grandma, pets (unless you have a pet duck, they don’t really get his jokes) or Herald, the guitar-wielding Hobo who lives down your street. Do it!


NIELSENISMS


Quotes from Airplane!

Rumack: You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.
Elaine Dickinson: A hospital? What is it?
Rumack: It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now. 

Rumack: Captain, how soon can you land?
Captain Oveur: I can't tell.
Rumack: You can tell me. I'm a doctor.
Captain Oveur: No. I mean I'm just not sure.
Rumack: Well, can't you take a guess?
Captain Oveur: Well, not for another two hours.
Rumack: You can't take a guess for another two hours?


Quotes from Police Squad!

Dutch Gunderson: Who are you and how did you get in here?
Frank: I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith. 

Frank: We're sorry to bother you at such a time like this, Mrs. Twice. We would have come earlier, but your husband wasn't dead then

Frank: Is there a ransom note?
Ed: Yes, the butler found it; it was tied to this window and thrown into the rock garden. I sent the note to the lab; they're demanding one million dollars.
Frank: Why would the lab demand a million dollars?


Quotes from the Naked Gun movies:

Frank: Now, Jane, what can you tell us about the man you saw last night?
Jane: He's Caucasian.
Ed: Caucasian?
Jane: Yeah, you know, a white guy. A moustache. About six-foot-three.
Frank: Awfully big moustache.

Frank: This is Frank Drebin, Police Squad. Throw down your guns, and come on out with your hands up. Or come on out, then throw down your guns, whichever way you wanna do it. Just remember the two key elements here: one, guns to be thrown down; two, come on out!

Frank: Like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to stay on my toes.

Frank: That's the red-light district. I wonder why Savage is hanging around down there.
Captain Ed Hocken: Sex, Frank?
Frank: Uh, no, not right now, Ed.

Frank: I'm single! I love being single! I haven't had this much sex since I was a Boy Scout leader!
[Music stops playing. Everyone stops talking and stares at him]
Frank: [to everybody] I mean at the time I was dating a lot.


Oh, and not everyone is aware that prior to his ruling of the comedy kingdom, Leslie Nielsen was a pretty big dramatic actor back in the 60’s, with leading roles in TV shows like The Virginian, Bonanza and he also starred in movies like Forbidden Planet and The Poseidon Adventure. Talk about talent!
