00:00Hi, Daddy. It's me, Frank Jr. I want to be just like you, but at the same time, be completely different than original.
00:09Welcome to WatchMojo. And today, we're counting down our picks for the funniest moments from 2025's The Naked Gun.
00:17There will be spoilers.
00:24What the heck are you, people?
00:2610. The PLOT Device
00:30People were skeptical when a new Naked Gun was announced, but fans knew they were in good hands from the opening heist, which is shot with the gritty intensity of a legitimate crime drama.
00:48That is, until we see that the bank robbers are stealing a literal PLOT device.
00:54This is made even funnier later when we learn what PLOT stands for.
01:00I call it the primordial law of toughness device. Let me show you what it's capable of.
01:06There's only one man who can bring down these armed criminals. Or should we say one little girl?
01:13No, it's actually Frank Drebin Jr., disguised as a girl.
01:18He fights like one, too, using a lollipop as a weapon and mixing punches with patty cake.
01:22Liam Neeson fully commits, revealing that he'll do anything for a laugh.
01:27Who are you?
01:30Frank Drebin, police squad.
01:34The new version.
01:35Number 9. Take a chair
01:37I couldn't remember the last time someone had talked to me like that.
01:41It was the kind of dressing down you usually have to pay for in the basement of a laundromat.
01:46Watching Pamela Anderson in The Naked Gun, we can't help but think about some of the great performances she could have given if Hollywood had cast her in more projects.
01:56Thankfully, she's in the midst of a career renaissance now, this being a high point.
02:00Please, take a chair.
02:02No, thank you. I have plenty of chairs at home.
02:05Anderson has immediate chemistry with Liam Neeson's Frank as Beth Davenport.
02:10A femme fatale with her head, shoulders, knees, and toes in all the right places.
02:15I'd sworn off love after my wife died, but this woman was put together in all the right ways.
02:20Face, head, shoulders, knees, and toes.
02:24Knees and toes.
02:25Like Neeson, Anderson delivers every line with dead seriousness, no matter how silly.
02:31This includes Beth telling Frank about her career as a fake true crime writer.
02:35The kicker is Beth deciding that she will take a chair.
02:39Home.
02:41On second thought, I will take that chair.
02:52She's the kind of dame that no hard-boiled detective can resist monologuing about.
02:57She had the kind of hips you wanted to put a hula hoop on and spin.
03:02The kind of ego.
03:06Tell us, do you mind?
03:09Number 8.
03:11Rear Window.
03:13What if we had a little dinner together?
03:16I sure could go for a bite.
03:19Slow down, chef.
03:21This turkey burns a $4.50.
03:22As Frank welcomes Beth into his apartment, the two have a little turkey time.
03:28It's not as erotic as it sounds, or appears to an onlooker spying through the window.
03:34In a bit worthy of Austin Powers, Frank and Beth find themselves in a series of compromising
03:40positions as they clean the oven and prep the turkey.
03:43Frank's dog also comes in for a lick of the turkey baster.
03:58If you think that looks wrong from the henchman's perspective, just wait until Frank gets into
04:04doggy-style position.
04:05While the scene remains within the PG-13 parameters, this is about as suggestive as a comedy can
04:13get without actually showing anything.
04:16It might not be what it looks like, but that doesn't mean we can unsee it.
04:21You aren't lying.
04:23This oven is disgusting.
04:25It sure was fun to talk about a dirty part.
04:28Number 7.
04:29Self-Driving Car
04:30It's money!
04:35Car, drive.
04:38Whether he's inadvertently causing a prison break or driving under the influence of chili
04:42dogs, Frank Drebin Jr. is a dangerous force behind the wheel.
04:46Even when a self-driving car takes over, the circumstances aren't much safer.
04:51Thank you, car.
04:55What the?
04:58Car, stop it.
05:00As the villainous Richard Kane assumes control of the vehicle, Frank tries to shoot his way
05:05through the windshield.
05:06His hand should protect him from any ricocheting bullets.
05:10While he surprisingly pulls that off unscathed, more impractical obstacles are in Frank's way,
05:15including balloons, bees, and another windshield that somehow fits perfectly.
05:20Fortunately, Frank has an ace up his sleeve, and its name is Clippy.
05:25Looks like you could use some help.
05:28What?
05:28Open the doors!
05:29You got it!
05:35Microsoft should really bring that little guy back.
05:38Miraculously, Frank gets away without committing vehicular man's laughter.
05:42Er, we mean man's slaughter.
05:45It says you served 20 years for man's laughter.
05:49Must have been quite the joke.
05:51You mean man's slaughter?
05:53Number 6.
05:54Calling out crypto
05:55While some jokes are hard to miss, others fly by so quickly that you have to watch the
06:00film twice.
06:01One of the cleverest pop-up during the climax as Frank heads to the Ponzi scheme dot com
06:06arena.
06:07It's a blatant jab at the Crypto.com arena, formerly known as the Staples Center.
06:14Although crypto has made some richer beyond their wildest dreams, others have lost everything
06:20due to scams, bad timing, and the unpredictable nature of this digital currency.
06:26All of this is conveyed with one ingenious visual gag.
06:30The arena also provides a backdrop for a balls-to-the-wall bit as Frank crashes an MMA fight.
06:36It isn't any less shocking for viewers at home, which includes Frank's mother.
06:40Always nice to see Priscilla Presley.
06:43The main event, if you will, a grand bratwurst fit for the imperial court of the Kaiser himself.
06:50Or maybe a loaf of unbaked bread wearing an Afro wig.
06:54Number 5.
06:56Mission Improbable
06:57Mission Impossible has twists upon twists, but the naked gun takes the surprise reveal
07:17to a whole new level.
07:18Capturing a henchman named Gustafson, Frank coerces him into a confession with a detailed
07:23description of what happens to guys like him in prison and, more importantly, what happens
07:28to sexy jailbirds once they're out.
07:42Gustafson sings, only to learn that he isn't in a hospital, but on an elaborate set in a
07:47warehouse.
07:48It's even more elaborate than it seems, as this was all a ruse to make Frank confess
07:53to his own illegal activities.
07:55Or was it?
07:56Frank turns the tables, unveiling this ruse within a ruse to expose Officer Barnes' abuse
08:01of power.
08:02It's almost as convoluted as a real Mission Impossible movie.
08:06How were you able to build these sets so quickly?
08:09I just told some city contractors that I'd pull their licenses if they didn't help us.
08:13Did you get all that?
08:14Loud and clear.
08:17Number 4.
08:19Scat Singing
08:20Sassafras Chicken and D.
08:22Make it extra lumpy, boys.
08:25As Frank battles his way to the security footage, Beth occupies Richard Kane over a glass of champagne,
08:32courtesy of Bill Cosby.
08:34From Bill Cosby's private estate.
08:35Taking advantage of Kane's fondness for jazz, Beth puts on an electrifying show.
08:48For anyone who thought Catherine Zeta-Jones should have done more scat singing in Chicago,
08:57Pamela Anderson let loose in a performance that captivates Kane and confuses everyone else
09:03in the audience.
09:03Beth's scatting serves as the soundtrack to Frank's fight as he goes up against a literal
09:08line of henchmen and old ladies.
09:11I'm fine.
09:14When Anderson auditioned for this role, she recalled doing an impromptu scat that harkened
09:25back to her 8th grade jazz band.
09:27According to Anderson, director Akiva Schaefer responded,
09:30Okay, you got the job.
09:40Number 3.
09:42The Crane Game
09:43We're not sure how much of the film's production budget went into this extravagant gag.
09:51In any case, it demonstrates the filmmaker's determination to go the extra mile for the sake
09:57of a joke. Investigating a crash site, Frank calls for a crane to remove the vehicle. Not a traditional
10:03crane machine, but rather a giant crane game. The kind you see at Chuck E. Cheese, albeit on a
10:09larger scale. Much like a real crane game, the claw isn't designed to ensure the player's victory. If
10:16anything, it guarantees that you'll drop your coveted prize at least once. The crane operator
10:21initially seems to have a firm grip on the car. Alas, it inevitably slips through the claw's metal
10:27fingers. Much to everyone's disappointment.
10:41Number 2.
10:42Frank's Substitutes
10:44Thank you, Daddy!
10:51Unlike other legacy sequels, we're glad the Naked Gun didn't digitally recreate Leslie Nielsen for an
10:58Uncanny Valley cameo. However, Frank Drebin Sr. does come to his son's aid, in owl form. Our hero catches
11:06up to Kane, gearing up for the final showdown. When nature calls Liam Neeson, though, one of
11:12the most important things that we've ever seen in the film. The last showgirl steps in. No,
11:17not Jason Schwartzman. It's jarring to suddenly see Dave Bautista in Neeson's place.
11:23Delivering his lines as if nothing has happened. Neeson tags back in, but he unfortunately leaves
11:40Bautista vulnerable to the violent mob in the background. The filmmakers knew that they wanted
11:45an action star for this cameo, and luckily, their top choice said yes.
11:49Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions. Hey Pops, a fitting tribute to Leslie
12:09Nielsen and George Kennedy, but not O.J.
12:13So, if you're proud of me, give me a sign, like, maybe make me see an owl or something.
12:22Hey Dad, it's me, Ed.
12:27Boy, do I miss you.
12:31Coffee cups, a running gag that just keeps getting funnier.
12:36Framing Frank. Frank steps right into the most obvious of traps.
12:51Oh no.
12:53Hey, Douglas, I stepped in some kind of red liquid.
12:57You got any paper towels?
13:00I'm dragging it all over your place.
13:02Huh.
13:06You shot my brother.
13:09One of the darker jokes because of how honest it is.
13:13You don't remember me, do you?
13:15Should I?
13:16My brother.
13:17You shot him in the name of justice.
13:20That can literally be thousands of people.
13:21Shot him in the back as he ran away.
13:23Hundreds.
13:24Unarmed.
13:24At least 50.
13:25He was white.
13:26The fourth wall.
13:28If it wasn't broke before, it is now.

13:51Number 1.
13:55Do you want to bang a snowman?
13:57Looking in your eyes, I can see a paradise.
14:02This world that I found is too good to be true.
14:07Imagine if the Michael Keaton version of Jack Frost suddenly became the horror movie Jack
14:13Frost with a softcore sex scene interspersed.
14:17You'd get this film's most outrageous sequence.
14:21On a snowy getaway.
14:23Beth and Frank find that they can, as the Starship song goes, build this thing together.
14:28They can also build a snowman, which they can bring to life with a supernatural book.
14:33The movie takes several unexpected turns, but a three-way with a sentient snowman probably
14:39wasn't on anyone's bingo sheet.
14:42Frank and Beth eventually push this hot Frosty out of their bed.
15:00With a frozen heart, the snowman goes fatal attraction on the couple.
15:05Beth teaches him that you should never bring a gun to a sword and jacuzzi fights.
15:12We can build this thing together, standing strong forever.
15:18Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us.
15:23With so many jokes every second, we were bound to miss a few.
15:27So, what are your favorites?
15:29Share them in the comments.
15:31Have you been watching us this whole time?
15:34You've seen me in shorts?
15:37Step back, honey, please.
15:38Ow.
15:41Ow.
