The maker/producer of the Airplane and Naked Gun movies has passed away. Jim Abrahams

Jim Abrahams, Slapstick Icon Behind ‘Airplane!,’ ‘Naked Gun’ and More, Dies at 80

Probably made some of the last real comedy movies when the industry wound up pushing action comedy buddy movies by the 1990s

RIP

Surely, you can't be serious.

I know, bad timing but I would hope he would get a chuckle out of it. RIP.

Looks like I picked the wrong day to avoid bad timing.

Rest peacefully Jim, you will be remembered fondly....and with a smile.

Surely, Jim Abrahams has left many of us in stitches watching his movies. And don’t call him Shirley. Rest in parody.
