well that Path number nine
Sarah Ashburn and Shannon Mullins the
heat could you just just maybe a closed
door on the way out I’ll shut the door

heat largely succeeds thanks to the
chemistry between its two leads what are
those what stop it
so my Spanx they hold everything
together why what’s gonna come from
popping out nothing it just keeps
everything weird supposed to be like in
shit like medically over a decade after
patrolling the runway and Miss
Congeniality Sandra Bullock plays
another comedic FBI agent as the throw

she’s hilariously complimented by
melissa mccarthy’s Shannon Mullins a
hard-hitting brash cop who doesn’t
always play by the rules when you lay
down here put your head in the door and
I’ll slam it about 157,000 times oh shit

enforcement techniques couldn’t be any
more different the two surprisingly

kidding anymore I can’t lift a month
watchman I can’t lift him number eight
goofy gilmore scary movie special option
to be reporting the cops in all slasher
flakes are for a lack of a better word
doofuses scary movie takes this trope to
another level by portraying one of the
cops as mentally challenged I said no I
take off of the incompetent deputy Dewey
from scream goofy gilmore brings a whole
new level to the title special officer
mom said get home now Java I’m on
official police business
sporting a backpack and a badge made out
of paper he looks more like an
eight-year-old playing dress-up than
real law enforcement officer this is
apparently a turn-on for reporter Gail
hailstorm however well you don’t look a
day over 12 yeah except for their big
head and glazed over and look in your
eyes although people might laugh and
make fun of them doofy plays everyone
for fools when it’s all set
done okay I’m gonna go then all right
number seven Allen gamble and terry
hoitz the other guys I can you can’t
keep me cooped up in here okay I’m a
peacock you gotta let me fly what
happens when the super cops plummet to
their untimely deaths you call up the
other guys then you got your Joker’s
your ball busters your vets and the
other guys it’s not at all surprising
that none of their fellow officers take
Allen and Terry seriously stop humming
that song I can hum if I want to
one is a nerdy forensic accountant who
isn’t even allowed to carry a gun
forensic accounting okay and it’s an
important part of the job whatever the
other well he kind of accidentally shot
Derek Jeter during the World Series
death
maybe I’ll freeze you dick I’m Derek
Jeter you shot me regardless both try to
demonstrate that there’s more to them
than meets the eye the to not only prove
themselves to be unlikely badasses but
also prove that most cop movie cliches
are total BS for example walking away
from an explosion is easier said than
done
yeah number six Slater and Michael’s
super bad
oh my god that is bona fide badass man
oh you got to keep that Asia the most
immature characters in Superbad aren’t
any of the horny teenagers but these two
reckless cops learning you are young
Pecola Thank You Slater and Michaels
aren’t exactly interested in holding the
law they’re more interested in
exploiting their positions of power to
abuse it drinking on the job
speeding through traffic and destroying
police cars these man children
practically get away with murder
can you shoot at it I don’t know can you
upon encountering the awkward Fogle aka
McLovin
Slater and Michael’s decide to show him
that comps could be cool too they don’t
make for the best mentors but Slater
Michaels do help to guide Fogle so to
speak
Nick love ahead nice can i I’d say I’m
done I mind you a beer Mikkel card you
want number five Morten Schmid and Greg
Jenko 21 Jump Street franchise
we got a pound coke turns show him a
good time now ruin their life while the
21 Jump Street TV series was a standard
police drama the film reboot was
essentially a satire of the original sir
I know we come off as a couple lady
killers but I promise you you would be
super professional on the job
Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum make for
an endearing pair as Schmidt and Jenko
respectively I might become popular I
might be able to popular kids we just
have to do something wildly
irresponsible to earn their trust you
sandwich to throw the party just barely
able to pass themselves off as teenagers
the two officers are enlisted for an
undercover program you will be going
undercover as high school students you
are here simply because you look young
it would have been easy for Schmidt to
simply be the dumpy dork and Jenko to be
the thick-headed jock however both are
often required to step out of their
comfort zones to adapt to their
environments this makes for many comedic
possibilities and a bromance for the
ages Thanks
something too
number four larval Jones Police Academy
franchise what’s your name
Jones larvell Jones the police academy
movies naturally have their fair share
of funny cops such as the timid Laverne
hooks the franchise’s MVP however has
got to be larval Jones
damn you wanna fight huh fight me
Michael Winslow is the only performer
who can bring this character to life
right in front stop being a
one-of-a-kind talent with a knack for
sound effects this cop of a million
noises uses his incredible vocal
abilities not only to trick criminals
but also to mess with his fellow
officers no sorry
even if this series is admittedly an
acquired taste
nobody can deny that larval steals every
scene he’s in let’s just get a number 3
Axel Foley Beverly Hills Cop franchise
disturbing the peace I got thrown out of
a window a role initially written with
Sylvester Stallone in mind
Axl Foley’s character went through some
significant changes when Eddie Murphy
signed up for Beverly Hills Cop this is
some kind of joke right Murphy who
previously played Nick Nolte’s comedic
foil in 48 hours turned Axl into a
wisecracking smartass with a badge are
you driving with your eyes open
are you like using a force although some
question is methods the streetwise axle
is much slicker than he looks
hey how long you gonna break it I need
authorization
loyal to his friends and always on the
lookout for other officers axel was born
to be a cop considering his foul mouth
and countless one-liners though he could
have just as easily been a stand-up
comedian
you should have no guns that’s to change
the world view number two inspector Jack
– so the Pink Panther franchise and you
gonna be heavy like this are not heavy
off time Wow jack – so was arguably more
of a supporting player in the original
Pink Panther this bumbling inspector
quickly took over the entire series in
subsequent instalments nothing methods
but the facts without them the science
of Criminal Investigation is nothing
more than a guessing game clues I was
clumsy and oblivious nature constantly
results in disaster
not to mention ingenious physical comedy
we must find that woman in the event
that he does actually foil an evildoer
it’s usually thanks to dumb luck there’s
a time and a place for everything Kate
oh this is
a master of slapstick and improvisation
Peter Sellers fashioned this character
into a comedic force unlike any other
for our money there’s only one true
inspector who self and we ain’t talking
about Steve Martin inspector Juneau the
killer was a man or women really cos i
knows it
what has he’s down the kitchen before we
get to our topic here are a few
honorable mentions
will you will you stop with that that
voice makes you sound crazy
don’t make me sound crazy makes you
sound Maurice Bingle under Finkle
fixtures biggest lighting fixture chain
in the Southland we must be must be a
misunderstanding I would sit down here
for the big case for the kidnap the
little girl oh forget the little girl
your assignment is Lee who is lien work
had I Simon his ed house lurch uh he’s
in the freezer just say cool off no I
didn’t say anything actually shame
there was a burly on it you missed when
I distracted him with a cuddly monkey
and then I I said playtime’s over
I hit with the peace lily how are we
gonna explain this place down next to
Joey
clap are you crazy the suspect has died
in your car we have to report this we do
this my way you shoot you shoot to kill
get as many as you can all you gotta do
is just not miss I won’t miss we’re
gonna get bloody on this one Roger
number one Frank Drebin The Naked Gun
franchise whatever scum did this not one
man on this force will rest for one
minute in hell he’s behind bars now
let’s grab a bite to eat yeah
the reason this member of police squad
stands out as the most hilarious cop in
film is largely because he’s completely
clueless about his incompetence I’ve
heard police work is dangerous it is
that’s why I carry a big gun aren’t you
afraid it might go off accidentally I
just have that problem what did you do
about it
I just think about baseball the great
Leslie Nielsen played this role with an
unyielding straight face never
acknowledging the stupidity of his
character or the absurdity of his
circumstances do you realize that
because of you this city is being
overrun by baboons well isn’t that the
fault of the voters whether driving a
tank starting a fire we’re going
undercover at a baseball game
Nielsen owned the screen in this
career-defining role have you found a
man no and I’ve searched almost
everybody yeah I saw that when it comes
to making us laugh Frank Drebin never
failed to get a bingo bingo
