If you’ve recently caught the reboot of “The Naked Gun” in theaters, you might be tempted to hit the exit as soon as the credits start rolling. After all, who has the patience for endless scrolling names? But if you’re a fan of the ZAZ (Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker) brand of comedy, you’d be wise to stick around. the credits for “The Naked Gun” are packed with the same kind of blink-and-you’ll-miss-it gags that made the original films so beloved.
More Than Just Names: A Comedy Masterclass in the Credits
The team behind “The Naked Gun” reboot clearly understands that the humor doesn’t have to stop when the movie does. They’ve taken the tradition of embedding jokes within the end credits to a whole new level, turning what’s usually a formality into a final punchline.
The Subtle and the Silly: Unpacking the credit Gags
For those who may have missed these hidden gems or are curious about what makes these credits so special, let’s dive into some of the standout jokes:
Tool Person vs. Tool Non-Person: While the credits dutifully list the “Tool Person” on set, they humorously identify the “Tool Non-Person” as “Buzz Saw.” It’s a classic ZAZ play on words, adding a touch of absurdity to the technical acknowledgments.
Salad Dressing and Tennis Grips: The “On-Set Dressing” section takes a literal turn, listing “French, Italian, and other assorted salad dressings.” Similarly, under ”Grips,” you’ll find “Tennis Grips” like “Eastern, Continental, and Full Western.” These are delightful examples of the film’s commitment to finding humor in the mundane.
Produce Assistance and netflix Passwords: The credits also include a call for “Produce Assistance – Aisle 12,” a nod to grocery store aisles that feels perfectly out of place. Even more relatable is the inclusion of a “Netflix password,” presented as a nonsensical string of characters. It’s a cheeky wink at modern digital life, leaving us wondering about the username.
The Ultimate Eye Chart Test: Perhaps the most elaborate gag is the inclusion of a full eye chart, just like you’d encounter during an optometry exam. The very bottom line offers a congratulatory message for those who can read it, implying they don’t need glasses. It’s a clever way to engage the audience directly and provide a final,interactive joke.
Why You Should Stick Around for the Credits
These hidden jokes are a testament to the enduring legacy of ZAZ comedy. If you enjoyed the film’s slapstick and witty wordplay,the credits offer a final,satisfying dose of that humor. It’s a reminder that the filmmakers put as much care into the details of the credits as they did into the movie itself.
Furthermore, for those who do stay through the entire credit roll, there’s an added bonus: a post-credits scene. This scene features one of the movie’s surprisingly few cameos, offering a final treat for the dedicated viewer.
So, the next time you see “The Naked Gun,” don’t rush out. Take a moment to appreciate the cleverness and humor woven into the very fabric of the film, right down to the last credit. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference, and it’s a tradition we hope continues.
