I can’t say it better than (TV’s) Frank Conniff:
Kentucky Fried Movie, Airplane!, Police Squad, Top Secret, etc… I mean, come on! All of these projects and more gave us not just laughs, but huge belly laughs. Jim Abrahams was an inspiration to me and I will be forever grateful for all the great comedy he gave us. Rest In Peace.
Surely, you can’t be serious!
I feel like there’s a good German word for being sad that a funny person died, but I don’t know any German.
He’s just a little horse/hoarse
I’ve of my favorite movies of all time
He should have picked an earlier day to quit sniffing glue.
On a slightly more “serious” note, he made the funniest movies I ever watched in my life, including the best opening scene of any movie ever.

He’s probably one of the reasons I was eager to learn English and listened to American Forces Network radio all night long.
But all of that is 30-40 years in the past now…
HEADLINE NEWS ACROSS THE WORLD - JIM ABRAHAMS HAS DIED!
Thanks Jim for giving us this absolutely stupid sense of humour, RIP
Surely the man made a legacy for himself.
He did, but don’t call us Shirley.
@Bishma “I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue”
🫡, Mr. Abrahams
I kept reading that as JJ Abrams, and thinking there’s no fucking way he made that many great movies.
What a legendary career
Unlike his previous stuff this last prank of his is not funny at all. Sad even. Just proves he’s past his prime.
