Bill Murray and Leslie Nielsen are prime examples of deadpan comedians. Throughout the 1980 picture Airplane!, Nielsen and a large cast of characters delivered deadpan lines. Arrested Development and Curb Your Enthusiasm are two contemporary examples of popular sitcoms that incorporate dry humor. Sacha Baron Cohen popularized the method by delivering his zany personas to unsuspecting strangers in films like Borat and Ali G. Nathan Fielder follows a similar technique, adopting virtually unnoticeable deadpan toward the business owners he interviews on his podcast, Nathan For You.
