The closing credits from Police Squad!


There were only six episodes of this remarkable program (it later morphed into the Naked Gun movie series).  Here are some of the running gags:
  • Drebin repeatedly drives into something (usually trash cans) when he parks his car. The number of trash cans he hits matches the episode number, e.g. one in episode one, two in episode two, and so on.
  • Drebin would offer a cigarette or coffee to people he was interviewing with the line "Cigarette?" (or "Coffee?") as if offering, to which they would respond "Yes, I know" or "Yes, it is.
... and the one illustrated in the video:
  • The moment before the ending credits, the characters would freeze up and hold a pose, while action in the background continued normally during the credits, parodying the "freeze-frame" credit endings typical of police dramas and action shows of the era.
Via Neatorama.

p.s. - I'm not being enthusiastic in the tile; the exclamation mark is part of the show's name.
