Gonna be all sad today
My favourite quote has to be:
Jane: Ah, he's caucasian.
Frank: Caucasian?
Jane: Yeah you know, white guy. With a mustache, about 6'3".
Frank: Awfully big mustache.
Always gets me
RIP Shirley

As well as Police Squad & Airplane, I'll always remember him for...
His appearance in M*A*S*H, absolute classic :D

Favourite from Police Squad
Woman: Please stop asking questions. How many questions? Don't you know what time it is?
Drebin: I'm sorry. We would have come earlier, but your husband wasn't dead then.
gets me every time

Surely you can't be serious?!
I am serious. And don't call me Shirley.

Cigarette?
Yes, I know.
I never felt he was at his best in the Naked Gun movies - notwithstanding the "Nice beaver" line in the first film, but in Airplane, and Police Squad on TV, he reigned supreme.
And did a pretty good job as a straight actor in Forbidden Planet.
RIP Mr N... I just wanted to say, "good luck".

I forgot my other favourite from Police Squad
When Frank & Nordberg go undercover as locksmiths, but every time Nordberg uses the key cutter, the blank shoots up to the ceiling, meaning a pile of keys tinkle to the ground every time the door to the shop opens. I'm grinning like a loon just remembering it.

The bit where...
he tells Norberg he's got a bit of food on the side of his mouth (above camera shot) and then a big lump of banana falls on the desk.
Plus the whole Tony D'Wonderful routine.
