Best Pink Panther Scene

The Staff Interrogation

[@YouOnlyIiveTwice]

My grandpa loved this movie and Peter Sellers. When he started to get Alzheimers and couldn't even recognize me anymore, I would play this movie for him and it was like he was his old self again by actually paying attention and laughing. He passed a few years ago, but this movie holds a special place in my heart. THAT was the comic genius of Peter Sellers.

[@OptimusPrime298]

Me too my grandpa and I loved this movie

[@johnlighton7025]

Lovely story. He had a good sense of humour

[@jonnyquest804]

That’s a great memory you both got to share. Me and my mom loved watching this together when I was a child.

Nice description.

How they managed to get through this scene without pissing themselves with laughter is beyond me. Simply brilliant film making!

[@glennatkinson9948]

They probably did piss themselves and I Maybe they were wearing depends😂🥹

[@klackon1]

It took many attempts with a lot of the scenes. The Pink Panther often appears on blooper reels.

[@freqeist]

Oh, they did took about ten takes.

[@darrenlikemyfatherbeforeme]

Peter sellers and the director Blake Edwards were both well known for getting the giggles during filming with one often setting the other off. because of this many scenes had multiple takes, I bet the entire crew were in fits of laughter during this particular scene

[@phexus82]

That punching bag absolutely kills me every time. Sellers was a genius.

[@andyskiles9542]

Seriously. Agreed. Lol.

[@parists5455]

The parallel bars dive was genius and so hilarious and unexpected. First time I saw it I laughed so hard for minutes non stop. Nothing matches a cleverly performed ridiculous physical comedy

[@songswithryan]

I know - such a subtle thing, so goddamn funny! The stairwell, the piano, the mispronouncing of names, the gunshot - Sellers kills this scene from beginning to end.

[@drewski1535]

The best is poor Mr Stutterstutt his name gets so poorly mispronounced

[@Dennis_Reynolds]

Yeah, I lost it when he did that. Physical comedy perfection. There are so many one liners in this scene that kill me. It's almost harder to keep getting the characters names wrong than get them right. Masterful performance.

[@TigerzLionzPistonzWingz]

omg....that's just tooooooooooooooooooooooo hilarious for words.

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

"But that's a priceless Steinway!" "Not any more." What a great exchange. Cracks me up every time I hear it.

Steve Martin must have been mad to think that he could even come near Peter Sellars.

[@hansschnier9745]

[@celiumpictures]

“Stay where you are. I prefer to handle this... eleune.”

[@bps3013]

My brother and I quote Clouseau on the regular and that's one of the most oft used lines! 😂

[@gregbester3855]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA my favourite. I make my girlfriend laugh all the time with Clouseau's voice which I have spent many years trying to emulate. It's a running joke now. RIP Peter Sellers. What a comedic genius and method acting master. The other one is, "Yes, I kneue that, I kneue that."

I am sitting here with a trapped nerve in my back, in pain 24/7. I have watched this scene and others from the pink panther over and over again, it literally takes the pain away and I laugh every time. Thank you Peter, pure genius

[@janavincent1]

Hang in there.... ;-)

[@rockybalboa8378]

Your comment reminds me of the movie It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. At the end of the movie Spencer Tracy say's in 10 or 20 years I wish there would be something I can laugh at, and of course he laughs 30 seconds later. Best of luck - keep laughing.

[@TonyBurke100]

He was indeed a comic genius.I showed some of his work to a friend of my son in his teens and he peed his pants he just couldn't contain himself.

There's so much humor packed into this, that I didn't even notice that part. Hilarious :)

That scene is actually performed by a stuntman, that's why he suddenly turns around as it changes to a wider shot. But it's still hilariously staged and timed.

[@hermit6208]

I went and saw it with my best friend at the time, Middle School age. I just remember not being able to breathe at the compilation of him trying to break into the castle. So funny

Close but Clouseau & Dreyfuss at the insane asylum was beyond hilarious!😂

[@rmachayes]

There were comedians and then there was the absolute genius Peter Sellers.

[@vibra64]

Genius is Chaplin, Keaton, Laurel & Hardy. Sellers was good. Chaplin, Keaton, Laurel & Hardy all had to create their own gags. Chaplin also directed, wrote and in some movies wrote the music.

[@tonysmith4918]

Chaplin, Keaton, Laurel and Hardy were brilliant, I agree, but I really do think Sellers was in the same class, but in a very different style.

[@hugq14]

[@vibra64]

Johan Beatles I agree brillant but not genius. Chaplin, Keaton, laurel & Hardy =genius.

[@michaelm7116]

[@jakegodfrey4320]

Given that every second of this is absolutely perfect, pucking out one moment is tricky, but the punch, immediate regret, pain and instantly trying to play it off all in one fluid motion is genius.

[@aryehfinklestein9041]

For those ( below ) who doubt that Sellers was a comic genius, compare his Clouseau with Steve Martin's. The latter is unquestionably a great comic actor, but when his performance is put next to Peter Sellers' ( and I'm sure he'd agree to this himself ) is really quite inferior - almost amateurish. Sellers was simply the best. And indubitably a genius.

[@ralphharper2414]

There never will be another seller no one was ad subtle as he wad

[@j90yjaved21]

U said correct.

[@graham450100]

He was certainly a genius !

[@graham450100]

Yes Steve Marton is ok but couldnt watch that film.

[@oiudatropen9548]

Quite s. Quite so! Having laughed to the point of sore belly muscles watching peter's panthers and usually briught tobtears watching steve martin's comedic work, i assumed I'd hit the jackpot when I bought the DVD of Mr martin's version. I thought nkno sat thru the entire disk, repeatedly telling myself, "this will get hellsrious any moment-its The pink Panther. It's steve Martin. There's n way it can't be nearly unbearably finny! Sadly, at least for me it barely ever reached even mildly humorous. Sorry,. Mr. Martin 'They' say , theres no accounting for taste."- maybe my taste was a bit off when i watched that one! be fair, Peter Sellers really created Cluseau. Wrapping any other actor around that character and having work out successfully is about as likeky as putting a Leppard skin coat on a zebraand convincing anyone who sees it that its actually a leopard! I doubt anyone ehi saw the irugional version of "The Jerk" would find Peter sellers playing Navin R. Johnson to be equal to steve Martin's portrayal. It doesn't mean ine us a better comic actor than the other - only that each fits different roles than the other. similar thing happens in music, when cover versions of grest songs are attempted - no matter hoe talentted and otherwise successful the artists whi try often fail miserablt at doing a satisfying civerof the work of others. For example, i csn think of exactly one cover of any Beatles song being any good at all - that being neil Young and gis playing "A Day in the Live live in concert a few years ago paul McCartney was back stage during the performanceand came out on stage after and fully pristrated himself bowing at Neil's feet. Not everyone agrees that it was a truely successful cove, but Paul's response alone suggests it came pretty close. I heve heard no other cover of a beatles song that was anything other thsnembarrassing. I'm not trying to make a oarticularlybabout Neil Young, or about the beatles, inly that performing artists sometimes create works which stubbornly resist as ny attempts if others, tegsrdkess of talent or skill to do justice by - no shame on steve Martin gor pulling up short with Cluseau when compared next to Peter Sellers!

[@tonysmith4918]

Absolutely wonderful. All the actors are just perfect here and Sellers is brilliant.

[@klackon1]

Though I've watched this film more than once, this scene still has me in tears. Peter Sellers really was the likeable buffoon Clouseau. No one could compete with his masterful portrayal.

Others have tried, but they couldn't come close. Sellers was a unique talent.

I read somewhere that when Sellers was filming the scene (as Guy Gadbois) with Catherine Schell in "Return of The Pink Panther," she literally could not stop laughing, so they left it in the movie.

[@GrammyPenny77]

Love ALL the Pink Panther footage, but my very favorite is the scene where Clousseau disguised as a dentist goes to the castle. When he cracks open the nitrous oxide...that scene, with his melting nose, the best!

@Jin Ruidmongm There's ppl out there, who like stuff you don't like. Just because you like something, doesn't mean it's good. Just because I don't like something, doesn't mean it's bad. So how do we know something is of good quality or of bad quality, if we can't rely on "I like it"? It's a long way to find out. I went there, and back. And I know that Pink Panther movies with Steve Martin, are bad, except for some scenes. You can compare Pink Panther against his other movies, say, Bowfinger or The Jerk
