Funniest Columbo moments?


My personal favorites among those that come to mind are the "special recipe" chili exchange in "Swan Song" and the scene with Larry Storch in "Negative Reaction."

The gas station scene in Identity Crisis. Patrick McGoohan must be thinking Columbo's a buffoon - which makes it especially satisfying when that buffoon nabs him.

In the art gallery when he thought (pretended to think) the heating grate was a work of art.

I like the gag when someone suggests Columbo might get another car.

"Oh I have another car. But that's just for transportation. Nothing special."


I love his handling of his young sergeant in Greenhouse Jungle and the way the same character unwittingly gives him the typewriter breakthrough in Now You See Him

And I always get a chuckle when Columbo gets a bit salty or a bit street when he's dealing with the public with whom he doesn't need not to put on the act like he does with those directly connected with the case. Like with the amusement park workers in Identity Crisis and A Case Of Immunity.
