I still love how he was introduced in the pilot.
Reporter: "An armed robbery at this grocery store was thwarted by the man standing next to me. Inspector Sledge Hammer, can you tell us what happened in your own words?"
Hammer, holding two grocery bags, "Well miss, I was doing my shopping when two men burst in and threatened the owner with shotguns. It was then that I drew my magnum and killed them both. Then I bought some milk, some eggs, and some ofvthose little cocktail wieners."
Reporter, "Inspector Hammer, is what you did absolutely necessary?"
Hammer, "Oh yes. I had no groceries at all."
I love that fucking line!
I love this following episode, spoofing the Dirty Harry movie where they had the police shooting competition.
The captain in this episode goes first. Then they announce Hammer, and all the judges and audience behind them duck and run.
"What's that, a silencer?"
"No, it's a loudener."
Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:
"You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
