In the 1982 television comedy Police Squad!, a recurring visual gag
occurs in the episode "Testimony of Evil (Dead Men Don't Laugh)".
The Scene Details
During a visit to the morgue, Detective Frank Drebin (played by Leslie
Nielsen) interacts with the coroner. The humor stems from the
slapstick treatment of the deceased:
Excessive Bodies: The morgue is depicted as hilariously overcrowded.
The Gag: Instead of the respectful handling typically seen in crime
dramas, the characters are seen casually stuffing multiple bodies into
a single morgue drawer to make room for new arrivals.
Absurdist Dialogue: During this process, the coroner explains
technicalities with a straight face, such as defining a "four-fifteen"
not as a police code, but literally as a body found 415 feet from a
car.
