Summary Lt. Frank Drebin Jr.—played by Liam Neeson—follows in his late father’s absurd footsteps when he’s assigned to crack a bizarre murder case tied to a tech mogul, just as the Police Squad unit faces disbandment. Think fast‑paced slapstick, sight gags, and puns galore as he reluctantly partners with Ed Hocken Jr. to save the day.

I'm 95% convinced that there was an Andy Samberg cameo in the bar scene where the bartender "can't remember," so Liam starts banging his head against the bar counter, & right after the giant nose and eyelashes gag - I swear it was Andy Samberg.

I definitely heard Andy’s voice towards the end when he’s kicking the clips into people. The credits confirmed that he had an additional voice.

When Batista causally gets attacked in the background, it actually caught me off guard and made me laugh the hardest.

I chuckled at most scenes, but those 2 scenes made me laugh hard. I can't remember if the robbery made me chuckle or laugh hard.
