I would have to say the cops in the town of Angel’s Revenge since 5 amateurs in superhero costumes brought down a drug smuggling ring without their intervention.
If you’re like me, and I know I am, then you sometimes can’t remember things from last week let alone six years ago. How many WDTs have there been down through the years anyway?
Only one other mention of Officer Cornjob?
If we’re counting security guards (and why not), the guard played by Tony Zarindast in Werewolf was pretty awful. Sure, get drunk on the job with a guy whose hair changes every two scenes. It’s not like you’ll have a vehicular lupicide.
The Sheriff in Giant Gila Monster whose jurisdiction was smaller than a subatomic particle always made me laugh, but I still go with the Coleman Francis agents whose response to any crisis (including a grape embargo) was to hop in a light aircraft and try to kill anything on the ground that moved. Good thing they weren’t very good at it or the carnage would have been horrific.
The cops in “Laserblast” weren’t particularly effective, although they did hand out a ticket. Are you ready for some football?!?
I think they were going for a Coleman Francis-esque ending, but couldn’t afford a plane.
Worse yet, they could clearly see him through the faceplate, and just assumed he’s dead even though he’s very obviously unharmed and just trying not to blink.
Isn’t the bowler guy at the end of THE DEADLY BEES some kind of law enforcement? After seeing that ep half a dozen times, I finally twigged that he’s supposed to be investigating the weird bee murders but doesn’t arrive until a neurotic pop star has already solved them.
