Have a Laugh! | Columbo

[@carolynmiles9281]

Columbos strongest trait was his ability to convince the suspect that they were smarter than he was. Instilling false confidence. That and his ability to connect the dots.

[@annamariaricci2146]

He also see details others Don t even notice!!

[@cagneybillingsley2165]

columbo is 100% the smartest guy in the room at all times. he isn't to most well read, skilled, cultured, or accomplished, but his pattern recognition and ability to read situations is well in advanced of everyone around him. he does his scruffy unassuming guy schtick to help normal people feel comfortable around him, and he does it to annoy the blowhards who automatically assume they have an easy mark

[@piggypooo]

Don't forget his good luck basset hound!

I love Colombo's never ending list of family members that happen to have a small insight into something seemingly pointless to the case. Its always the cousin or the dopey brother in-law.

[@barbarajolley6578]

or the niece or the nephew...:).

[@zuperdee]

Not to mention his Wife! 😂

[@KenFullman]

It was his way of playing dumb. Instead of asking the inciteful questions directly, he'd invent a family member to take the credit.

[@zuperdee]

@@KenFullman Ah, but is his wife fictional? 😉

[@CorettaJG]

I thought the brother-in-law was a lawyer. The family is proud of him.

[@ralph-im-a-star-wars-wiggum]

I love the joke scene because most likely the prompt was “laugh at the joke” and the way Patric busted out like that broke Peter falk and made him laugh at the laugh :) very touching moment.

[@The-Wolf-with-no-name]

One if the funniest scenes was in an episode where a nun thought Columbo was a homeless man. Than when she realized he was a cop assumed he was undercover as a....homeless man...lol

[@The-Wolf-with-no-name]

@aliasannie1 yes that's right. There were a number of actors and actresses who had appeared in Columbo several times. Leslie Nelson played a murder victim and a friend of a murder suspect in two different episodes. George Hamilton and Patrick Macgee (I think that was his name) played murderers in a few episodes too. But there was only ever on Peter Falk and no one could play the role of Columbo.

[@alaalfa8839]

Dr. Bruce Lipton says people dont have problems because they have mind, people have problems because they have two minds, a conscious mind and a subconscious mind. When you do something for the first time you operate from a conscious mind that works 1 - 5 percent. When you do something repetitivelly, like 100 times, you operate from a subconscious mind that works 99 - 95 percent of the day. The conscious mind is very creative and it's about free will and positive thinking, but has a very slow processor only 1 - 5 percent, it works 40 bits of information per second. the subconscious mind is very fast, the subconscious mind is the original brain and body, it works the same way as a computer program it works 40 million bits of information per second. The subconscious mind is habitual, it plays only what it learned. When Columbo learns something for the first time, he is very slow, at focusing, his mind is about free will, very creative, but his mind works only 40 bits of information per second. When he does something repetitively his mind works a million times faster, he operates from the subconscious mind, 40 million bits of information per second. The subconscious mind is a million times faster, but it's habitual, it's not creative and it doesn't contain free will unless you reprogram your mind in some way. Dr. Bruce Lipton says people are aware of 1 - 5 percent of reality. People have 60 - 80,000 thoughts a day, but they are aware only of 100 thoughts a day. Dr. Joe Dispnza says 90 percent have the same thoughts as the day before because most people live in the past. Dr. Bruce Lipton says that when you fall in love with a person, with hobbies or with life, you are much more self-aware because you want to make an impression. You are self-aware up to 5 percent. He calls it the honeymoon effect. Therefore positive thinking rarely works, because positive thinking is a program of conscious mind that works only 1 - 5 percent. so the subconscious mind over-writes the positive thinking, but when you are in love and operate from a place of love, empathy gratitude and you see loving people you become a much more positive person with positive programs. Because it becomes habitual, you practice meditation, metacognition, energy psychology etc.

I haven't seen many of these later episodes, but seeing an older Columbo react and talk about technology and things makes me laugh out loud for real. The car light was a great gag. There was one movie, that he couldn't remember how to read someone their Rights ~ so he pulls out a card and struggles to read the small print ~ makes me giggle every time

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

I honestly think, and this is a huge part of the charm, is that he really is an average guy who identifies with the average man. He plays it up to lull the arrogant into complacency, but he's really not a genius. He's smart for sure, but most of all he enjoys the work and he has a terrier's tenacity. It's mostly hard work and experience. He has what Malcolm Gladwell calls blink. It seems like an uncanny nose he has, but it's really just been honed through a lot of years of dedication. Basically, we could all be Columbo's in our own way. And he never let any of it go to his head: he knows he's good, but it's the job--the challenge--that he loves. He's not looking for medals; he thrives on the satisfaction of solving the problem. Otherwise, he's happy with his life. That's what makes him so lovable--he's still one of us.

Remember when the idea of talking to a family member on the phone, from your car on an unconnected device, was a novel one?

Around the year 1983 (?) I seem to remember somebody had a phone in their car, and a beeper on his belt. Not sure if the phone had a wire, attaching it to the console, or no wire (?). The phone was very thick and clunky / heavy.

Seeing him talk to William Shatner about mobile phones reminds me of an incident that happened way back when the first mobiles came out. Bill was travelling through an airport and needed to make a phone call, so he asked someone where the nearest payphone was. Someone said "Don't use that, Mr. Shatner, use my phone," and passed him a flip-top phone. It took Bill a few moments to work out why everyone started laughing when he flipped it open and spoke into it....

The impatient waitress comes over to him to ask him where the donut came from. The interaction between him and the waitress was hilarious due, in no small part, to the waitress which was played to perfection by Jamie Lee Curtis! It was one her very first acting jobs!

There's a 1987 movie, Der Himmel über Berlin with Bruno Ganz, and Peter Falk is in it. Falk walks through West Berlin talking to himself about his mother or grandmother I don't remember and "spazieren she used to call it". He walks by an outdoor market and a couple of people say "Columbo". I don't know if it was planned. One thing interesting I noticed there's graffiti all over the west side of the wall and an immaculate east side. The film centers on two angels talking, and they actually fit the look of the east side wall better. I'm also curious about how they got permission to film on the east side next to the wall.

[@onemorething123]

Funny, how you can piece together what decade the clips are from just by the reference to phones. "Telephone/phone": early Columbo. "Cellular/car/portable phone": 80/s early 90's. "Cell phone'": late 90's early 2000's. Then just 'cell' or 'phone' after that. Just a weird observation during my lunch break.
