The passing of Leslie Nielsen recently, brought his deadpan comedic genius to the forefront. And the trademark flashing police light during the intro to The Naked Gun movies and Police Squad shows.
Leslie Nielsen went from pretty boy in The Forbidden Planet, to pretty funny guy in The Naked Gun, Police Squad, and Airplane.

That emergency police light was so famous, even Zsa Zsa Gabor had to cut in on the action and show off in her famous reenactment with Beverly Hills police. Zsa Zsa Gabor Has Been Courted Before, but This Time It’s a Trial. People.
