6. Frank Drebin - The Naked Gun series
Why Is He An Idiot? Frank Drebin, much like the Dumb and Dumber duo, has a slapstick way of getting the job done. What he lacks in stealth, detective work, fighting ability and overall professionalism he makes up for by being hit by all manner of objects, falling into various painfully funny situations and then, at the end of the day, completing his mission with baffling ease. The late Leslie Nielson gave an amazing performance as the bumbling Police Squad detective that will never be forgotten.
Top Idiotic Moment There is barely a stupidest moment to single out. All three films are packed with gags, mostly coming straight from the man himself. As a tribute to Nielson's stellar performance, every moment is his top idiotic moment.
How He Saved the Day Drebin confronts the baddies at a football stadium, where he stops the evil Ludwig from completing his master plan to assassinate the Queen. He also gets the girl of his dreams and his rousing speech spontaneously causes hundreds of radical make-ups.
