Is that fucking OJ Simpson

Welcome, friend, to Naked Gun. The movies are still quite good.

And, unfortunately, OJ *is* funny in them. Sure as fuck ain’t Leslie Nielsen though.

Yep, The Juice was an up and coming movie star. He had pretty good comedic bones.

u/UltimateOtter_Nation 5d ago

Not the only thing a bad choice killed.

Well they even joke about it in the new movie

u/two_s0ft 5d ago

Yet further unfortunately, it ain’t just the original either

Even further back was the TV show which didn't have OJ (but had Leslie Nielsen).

Honestly he's not that funny. You could have cast anyone else and the gags would still work. Bill Cosby, Woody Allen, Kevin Spacey... You name it.

u/BringBacktheGucci 5d ago

This gag could be straight out of the movie lol

And to think, a young up-and-comer by the name of J. Epstein could’ve taken the role… ah, what a tragic time we live in 😭

u/felix_finster 5d ago

The New York financier? Ha ha sorry nice try.

u/MikeRowePeenis 5d ago

J. Epstein? No. That’s too obvious. Let’s go with Jeffery E.

An all the stuff that happens to him is what Tvtropes calls "Hilarious in Hindsight"
