Celebrity deaths are all the rage these days an usually don't register on my radar but this is the first one in a while that actually got my attention. This is the man who gave us hours of entertainment as Lt. Frank Drebin and this morning the internet is awash with tributes and memories, and rightly so.
The sheer volume of youtube clips and quotes from Airplane and The Naked Gun series that are all over Facebook and Twitter show just how much people loved this guy and the astonishing level of ridiculousness he could generate in a seemingly innocent and straight forward situation.
You've seen them all before but even after a hundred viewings they're still gold:
One of the funniest men to have ever been called Shirley.
He will definitely be missed.
