Brightest Bulb On The Force
The
stereotype of the "˜dumb cop' has featured in countless films over the years -
and Get the Gringo is no exception! In this feature, we will list

Gun and Super Troopers in Super Troopers.
Officers
Slaters and Michaels, Superbad
In
2007's Superbad, two cops "“ Officer
Slater and Office Michael - run into Fogell as he illegally tries to buy beer
with his fake ID. They offer to
give him a lift to the party and instead make numerous stops along the way that
exemplify inappropriate behavior for an officer of the law, including stealing
beers, drinking on the job and improper use of their firearms.
Super
Troopers, Super Troopers
Jay
Chandrasekhar's 2001 comedy Super

screwing up and an affinity for syrup-chugging contests for breakfast. However, when budget cuts threaten
their livelihood and a murder case pops up, Thorny, Mac, Rabbit, Forster and
Farva have to straighten up and quit their silly ways.
Paul
Bart, Paul Bart: Mall Cop

Frank
Drebin, Naked Gun
Leslie
Nielsen stars as Detective Frank Drebin in the Naked Gun series, a police officer with a unique approach, solving
kidnappings and crazy murder plots in a ludicrous fashion. The series took a cue from the
slapstick style of comedy, seeing Nielsen performing wacky stunts and donning far-fetched
"undercover" disguises.
Inspector
Clouseau, Pink Panther
A
bumbling and incompetent police inspector, Inspector Clouseau's investigations
are marked with chaos and misfortunes for himself and others, with Clouseau typically
is at fault . Though he's not
particularly intelligent and will follow a completely idiotic theory to solve a
crime, he can always be relied on to solve the crime, even if only by accident!
