{YTP} ~ Klumbo

Klumbo is a hard-boiled renegade cop who lives on the edge, plays by his own rules, and doesn't answer to anybody. Or something like that, I wasn't really paying attention.

The fact that Columbo’s dog is genuinely canonically named simply “Dog” makes the dog section even funnier than it already is

[@hansonel]

"This dog is a dog." Klumbo is the greatest detective ever.

[@pyglik2296]

"You see the man? He's not a dog!" Amazing observation skills.

[@Nitrolord]

The greatest dogtective

[@yoitsSmitty2004]

Bros the goat, Sherlock Holmes ain’t got nothing on Klumbo

The bit where Columbo says "Look what I got here" and then spends a full 30 seconds searching his pockets made me wheeze so hard it hurt

[@thehorridprofessor2039]

then they say "you're searching but you'll never find it" and that's when they find it and when they get it out what is it? "glasses, they're glass. wow. put your finger on it" "no, i never liked them" "oh, sorry sir"

[@thehorridprofessor2039]

another honorable mention is when columbo (being the detective) says lipstick is sludge, but this guy already knows, because hes the one that told him

[@demoonmunkay]

I expected him to pull out and say “Book”

[@demoonmunkay]

That was supposed to say; pull out the Priness Bride and say “Book”

[@polloapproves8597]

His name is Klumbo

[@258thHiGuy]

The _moment_ I heard muppets Columbo say "the jerk circus" I knew he would be saying "the jerkus" at some point

That scene was from the 1981 theatrical film, "The Great Muppet Caper".

Nevermind the fact that Klumbo directly told him that he was the one who actually killed the wife.

you know ma'am, I have a niece that makes things like this. now I don't mean to be crass ma'am but she calls them "youtube poops". now I don't know what they have to do with feces but they really are something. there was one line that really stuck out to me... "dinner". now I don't have to tell you ma'am that that sort of peace is what all true sus strive for. ah, I can see I'm bothering you, I'll get outta your hair. oh but just one more thing ma'am, and I don't wanna be rude, but it seems to me that you are all out of rubies.

Columbo spent so much time trying to find his glasses that the guy had to change his shirt.

[@fjLKA]

[@pyglik2296]

It's amazing how their dialogue somewhat makes sense and is a complete nonsense at the same time.

[@TheGreatsagegoku]

DaThings dialogue has entered into its own universe. It feels like a twin language or something.

[@MasacoMike]

A complete nonsense. A complense, if you will.

[@ArcRay20]

that tends to be how good YTPs turn out.

[@vpaul4374]

I mean, that's kinda how words work, you say what you said about a senseless sense of dialogue that is sending sensitive sensations to your receptors and you understand through your sense. Got it?

The use of chord progression in that YTPMV actually made Baby Shark fun to listen to! I never though I’d see the day.

"If they ever gave an award for the dog, he would win the grand dog. When it comes to dogs, this dog . . . he's the dog." I am absolutely using that.

[@Kessler1996]

I know this is tres silly and is a _premium poop_ but I am so pleasantly distracted by the source material's cinematography - like this is genuinely gorgeous, there are so many low-aperture shots and the backgrounds all have this dreamy out-of-focus softness that make the actors really pop. This is one of the most charmingly, unexpectedly pretty poops I have ever seen - a quaint oddity. Love it
