Frank Drebin

Frank Drebin (full title: Sergeant Frank Drebin, Detective Lieutenant Police Squad) is a fictional character in the Police Squad! television series and The Naked Gun movies.
== Basic Information ==
Frank Drebin is a member of Police Squad, a special department of the police force, where he served for many years. He is known for being a bumbling fool, causing lots of problems and trouble for those around them, but being entirely oblivious to it all. He works alongside police Captain Ed Hocken and Nordberg, the trio generally work as a team. He and Ted Olson (Scientist) are the only characters that appeared in both Police Squad! and The Naked Gun films and were portrayed by the same actor.
== Archetypes ==
===Artsy===
Although he is not portrayed as having any artistic talent, in some scenes, his actions are handled in his usual humorous manner. Specifically, in The Naked Gun 1, there is a scene where he tries to disguise himself as an opera singer, but does it in a silly and humorous way. And in The Naked Gun 2, there's a memorable dance scene where Frank and Jane attend a party at a research institute, where they danced a very dramatic tango together. Also, he and his bandmates dress up in mariachi outfits and try to fit in with the party by singing and performing.
===Chaoslord===
Frank is a very clumsy detective who often causes chaos while working. Instead of solving problems logically and efficiently, he often makes things more chaotic. For example, in one scene, he goes to Ludwig's office to search for evidence and finds evidence that Ludwig is planning to assassinate Queen Elisabeth II. However Frank accidentally burns the letter and destroys Ludwig's office along with many of his priceless artefacts. Although Frank tries to do the right thing, his carelessness leads to hilarious situations.
===Distinctive Speech Patterns/Quotable Catchphrase(s)===
Frank Drebin's jokes in The Naked Gun series are often satirical, poking fun at the stereotypes of the detective and cop genres. They are often based on misunderstandings, wordplay, and absurd situations created by the character's silliness.
===Distinctive Voice===
He has calm voice and demeanor, combined with his humor and clumsiness in various laugh-out-loud situations, he has left a deep impression on the audience. Thanks to his distinctive voice, Leslie Nielsen made Frank Drebin a unique comedic character.
=== LGBTQ+ ===
In "A Substantial Gift", the first episode of the short-lived Police Squad! television series, it is implied that Frank might have had a homosexual relationship as a younger man; however in the The Naked Gun movies, Frank had an on-and-off relationship with Jane Spencer (then they made up, got married and had children together).
