I've seen this scene dozens of times and I am still in tears laughing whenever I see it. Peter Sellers was born to play Inspector Clouseau. Pure comical genius. There will never be another.
Another hilarious example of Peter Sellers' greatness, but don't forget the roles played by Andre Maranne and Herbert Lom in making these scenes so hysterical.
Haha! Love how he reprimands Francois for not knowing everything about his car, while the whole time it's Clouseau's car. Another brilliant bit! RIP Sellers, you mad genius!
Pink Panther and Naked Gun movies are the most hilarious and absurd comedies. The serious faces of Peter Sellers and Leslie Nielsen in their movies are priceless.
There was a definite bad omen. Just before he stabbed the cigarette lighter with catastrophic results, an Austin Allegro passed their Peugeot doing an uncharacteristically high...er....well.. increased level of speed. The Allegro driver got lucky; this time it was not the Allegro that blew up. And believe me, i have ridden many a worrying trip in Allegros (Allegrii ??). But, just a thought - Seeing an Allegro on a French road made me realize that if there was ever a single Frenchman who bought one in preference to a 2CV or a Simca etc, this consigns the whole French nation to a basket case. Hopefully it isn't true, and it was a lucky English tourist. Vive La France!!
Steve Martin's 'attempt' at Clouseau was disgustingly embarrassing and completely ignorant. Never should have been released. And personally I like some of Steve's other comedies.
The only funny part of the remade pink panther movies with Steve Martin was when as clouseau he opened up the doors of the horse stable and he was trampled. But everything else was a poor imitation of the original pink panther movies with Peter sellers.
Guillermo Garraton yes - he was absolutely fantastic in this clip:Understated, perfect comic timing, great voice and face. And on a par with Selllers here.🥳
Pure comedic genius. You didnt need a din of background music and special effects, nor constant dialogue when Peter Sellers was involved. The silence and subtleties of acting are in themselves very funny with both actors. Look at how the straight man enables the concealment by keeping his eyes on the road, and letting Clouseau have his space to demolish the car. We have no films like those, nor actors today....
I have a few DVD of the Pink Panther episodes, he is so clumsy, foolish, crazy as a police officer but yet he is very extremely funny, hilarious, and always get the job done right.
The carachter "inspector Clouseau" will never be the same without this guy. It is not even near that. "Da bamb" is allways around with him. Hilarious. Thank you Peter Sellers.
The master Peter Sellers crazy as hell the incredible inspector Clouseau. Brilliant detective with incredible skills a Master of disguise with dangerous cat like reflexes. And definitely The Ladies Man.often imitated but truly never duplicated Peter Sellers is the one and only inspector Cousteau at its best
Peter Sellers was a comic genius on a level that had never been and perhaps will never be again. Steve Martin is also an amazingly gifted actor that mistakenly took on the role of attempting to remake genius, proving that it just cannot be done.
Don't get actors mixed up with director and screenwriters. Of course everyone plays their part in the production, but without good direction and screenplay you can be Robert De Niro and the film will still suck.
@@Philip.Magnusson Yes, But like many of the "forgettable movies" Sally Fields said she was in she still got great reviews for her acting despite "having no decent script to work with." She said she took any role offered and later it turned out great for her. She voiced a cat in "Homeward Bound" and then got the part in Mrs. Doubtfire. She took the part in "Punchline" with young Tom Hanks and later got the part in "Forrest Gump". I'm sure DeNiro had movies like that as well.
Rowan Atkinson seemed like he would have been the natural to take over. Martin was atrocious I don't understand how not one but two movies were made with him.
The spirit of Clouseau is alive and well in the bumbling insertion of those brass flourishes at either end of this video. Why must you deafen and startle us so? Why on earth?
Incredible and classic and priceless scene. Your puuupp out lighterrr is refuuusing to puuuppp out. Hysterical. Your a genius for posting the funniest clips ever and thanks so much.
I miss Peter so much. Anyone who has never seen his last film "Being There" has not seen him at his subtle best. It's priceless. You'd almost think the movie was the inspiration for "Forest Gump".
@rj zander And THAT is why I dont watch new movies. Im not "stuck in the 50s" or something but I wont pay to be brainwashed with SJW and related bullshit. I stopped watching TV series made in the past 10 years too. But...you brought up a point often forgotten. Im from Calif and there were theatres in LA which showed old classics like Citizen Kane, Casablanca, foreign classics and yes people came and PAID to see them. Fantastic. I dont know the scope of this and whether there are such theatres around the country but its an opportunity.
I once had a Peugeot "504 Brake" for a few years. It was actually a very very good and solid car. Comfortable and pleasant to drive too. I only bought it beacause it was old and cheap but It turned out to be a much better car than I expected!
This hits home hard, As a child I got my finger bit by a "pup ouut" lighter.................I was alone in the car and pannicked, it was stuck on my finger, I thought something had bit me. Was crying up a storm... 50 some years ago, the trauma is still there.
Tis Irish Bob saying hello There was only one Peter Sellers comedic genius. This role solidified it fer all to enjoy. Sorry Steve ye just don't have that magic fer this role ole boy. Enjoy yer weekend ahead. Still love the great classics of real comedy. Continues to make me laugh my arse off.😬😬 Irish Bob 🤗😇😎🇮🇪🇨🇵🍀☘️🦾🩺🥂
No one can actually do it like Peter Sellers, he has charisma and genius to be the best Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther episodes? To me Steve Martin can never be just like Peter Sellers actually.
Love how all these French men, who work for the Sûreté...in France, all speak to each other in heavily French accented English. Part of what makes it all so hysterically absurd.
"But it's your automobile?" "I knøw that, but it's not my pøp-out lighter. If it were my pøp-out lighter, I would knøw the specific pøp-out temperature." Interesting logic, and hilarious.
I've seen this scene dozens of times and I am still in tears laughing whenever I see it. Peter Sellers was born to play Inspector Clouseau. Pure comical genius. There will never be another.
Yes i agree with you
“Does your dog bite?”

Blake Edwards wrote these skits, Sellers brought them to life.
Both were genius.
Damn I almost passed out from laughter. Never should’ve been remade.
This scene kills me. The way he keeps saying "pop out" is infectious. I haven't been able to say it properly for years!
"Give me ten men like Clouseau and I could destroy the world..."
Could Trump and Rudy G. Be one of them?
Why would you need 10 Clouseaus? There are only 7 continents to destroy...
rif42 And three oceans
Hahaha

There will never be another Peter Sellers! RIP
That's Wright
I agree.
Unfortunately he was resurrected as the POTUS...
@@douglascline140 lol good 1
Thank goddess! He was an abusive creep to anyone involved with him and who never had an original idea in his life.
The way Clouseau is trying conceal the fact that he ruined the ciagarette is priceless.
That cigarette thing has happened to me once or twice too
Pink Panther and Naked Gun movies are the most hilarious and absurd comedies. The serious faces of Peter Sellers and Leslie Nielsen in their movies are priceless.

I WOULD SAY THE MOVIE AIRPLANE
@@superchapitas9266AND DOWN SAFE
No one better than Peter Sellers. Thank you for years of entertainment!
Rare talent
"A shame he`s no longer among us, because he could make people laugh."
No problem, he still does.
Only Clouseau could blow up a car by messing with the cigarette lighter. Brilliant.
There was a definite bad omen. Just before he stabbed the cigarette lighter with catastrophic results, an Austin Allegro passed their Peugeot doing an uncharacteristically high...er....well.. increased level of speed. The Allegro driver got lucky; this time it was not the Allegro that blew up.

It was a pop out lighter
@@Surfer7901 Understand the need for editing... it's very French
He’s some kind of reverse McGyver
That look when his cigarette gets squashed. Brilliant.
There is a bit where he does gymnastics on parallel bars and falls down stairs. Nearly killed myself laughing so hard.
Saw that as a kid... I nearly died laughing as well.
Yep, that bits hilarious as well
That and the interrogation scene that follows were priceless!!
Saw that scene years ago as a kid and it almost killed me.
A scene is a good one when you remember it years later which I do.
CaptainSlow that scene is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. True genius
Superb timing on the explosions, makes me laugh every time.
Yes, very superb, almost looks planned.
It is pretty genius, first explosion lifts the hood, second one fires from the engine, third one goes off when the hood closes 👌🏼
the "dog bite?" scene is without question one of the top 5 of all the funniest scenes ever done.
"zat iss not my dog"............
I have always laughed at the Minkey. I am the musician the minkey is the businessman.
@@RossM3838 You did not even arrest the beggar!
Does your dog bite?
Along with the disguise as a dentist and the melting nose, after inhaling laughing gas.
When I was a kid, I loved these films. In my twenties, I out grew them. Now I'm older, I realise they are hilarious!
Same withvthe CARRY ON films I think.
I never outgrew them!
Steve Martin should Never have been cast as Clouseau. This clip shows you why. Sellers is a genius.
Steve Martin soiled the good name of Clouseau, but he can pick a banjo pretty good, so he redeemed himself, temporarily !
Steve Martins performance was pathetic. Like he watched one Sellers movie and said: "close enough". Really bad....
Steve Martin's 'attempt' at Clouseau was disgustingly embarrassing and completely ignorant. Never should have been released. And personally I like some of Steve's other comedies.
The only funny part of the remade pink panther movies with Steve Martin was when as clouseau he opened up the doors of the horse stable and he was trampled. But everything else was a poor imitation of the original pink panther movies with Peter sellers.
English humour in another league....American ‘humour’ lightweight & unfunny in comparison (to say the least) 🦆
First rule of any car owner is know your automobile.

I gotta watch those movies again...I'd forgotten how hilarious they are!!
I love how the guys clothes are still smoking when he meets with Dreyfus in his office!! Just brilliant!
But he didn’t start a fire like Clouseau did.
What a classic.
Luckily, Sgt François Chevalier, (portrayed by French actor André Maranne), is still with us, aged 94.
He survived Clouseau!
Guillermo Garraton
André Maranne. I've been looking for his name. I saw him in BBC french lessons eg Ensemble. Good actor.
Guillermo Garraton yes - he was absolutely fantastic in this clip:Understated, perfect comic timing, great voice and face. And on a par with Selllers here.🥳
I am sad to report Mr. Andre Maranne left us on April, 2021 while living in Brighton, U.K.
Rest in Peace, Sargeant Chevalier.

Classic Sellers. Never gets old.
Two supposedly Frenchmen speaking to each other in English with French accent. Hilarious! Peter Sellers and Blake Edwards were genius!
That whole scene is pretty much the life of a Peugeot 504 owner. Ok, yes, there are a few dangers but I'll tell you this, never a dull moment!
It did have a wonderful suspension though.
@@mauritsvw Clouseau could have fixed it though
@@emansnas Indeed!
My father had a 504. I remember once, right on the highway, the gearshift broke. My father held it in his hand and looked quite confused.
I remember my grandfathers lada. if you used the glow lighter it would jump out hot and if you didn't catch it would burn the back seat :D
Oh man I saw that coming from a mile away and still couldn't stop laughing
These are classic movies in any way.... have seen them dozen of times and they’re always good !

Brilliant comedy... Inspector Clouseau is a classic

Peter Sellars.....a friggin' genius!
I learned a lot about pop-out lighters by watching this. RUclips can be so informative.
Steve Martin ruined the pink panther. Peter sellers was pure genius.
Don't get actors mixed up with director and screenwriters. Of course everyone plays their part in the production, but without good direction and screenplay you can be Robert De Niro and the film will still suck.
I was just thinking something like that. Martin was funny back in the day but imitating Sellers after that day was a flop[.

Such a brilliant actor.R.I.P
Good ole inspector Clouseau he was the man no one like him.
Fortunately for those around him
"If it were my peup out liaghter, I would know, the specific peup out temperature." LOL
These clips just bring joy to my day.
For me the best line in Peter Seller's movie was "Does your dog bite?"
Comedians have always made great actors. Should have won an Oscar for Being There. A total one off.
The spirit of Clouseau is alive and well in the bumbling insertion of those brass flourishes at either end of this video. Why must you deafen and startle us so? Why on earth?
It still makes me laugh no matter how many times I see it.

@@Ouzo66 No one is forcing you to watch him - chill man. He was great in The Jerk and Planes, Trains.....
Thanks for posting. I really miss Peter Sellers as Clouseau. They could have made 6 or 7 more Pink Panther movies if he hadn't died so suddenly.
Yes...but the ideas for jokes were starting to run out.
Swine pip-out lighter!
Sir I admire your knowledge in PP movies with Clouseau. Sellers and these PP films are nothing short of brilliant. Genius.
That wasn't a bomb. That's just how a Peugeot stops.
Scott Laursen take a bow that was hilarious
It was a burmb.

And you had to cry to get yer ass back...🙄
And the moral of the story is....never fiddle with your poop-out lighter! Lol

Peter Sellers is the greatest comedian ever
Peter Sellers was a comedic genius. I cannot stop laughing the moment a Pink Panther movie begins.
Sellers is a legend.
I'm gonna meet him when I go to the afterlife. Love this guy
You might wanna check first if he's there... he did uh, shall we say have certain indelicate moments
I had a Peugeot 504 Estate/wagon diesel once and yes I can confirm they are prone to catching on fire!

“But it’s your automobile !”
“I knew that.”
😂😂😂🤪🤪🤪
Chief inspector, sir, a Rolls Royce is an automobile. A Peugeot is, pardon me, just a basket of metal, with a defunct pop out lighter.
Such a flaming fuck up, and so smooth at it
When he tries to DISCRETELY blow the bits of tobacco off the top of the dashboard LOL.
A similar scenario is the one where he’s in the gym, whacks the punchbag then tries to disguise the pain
R.I.P. Peter Sellers
This movie just kills me-- My sides hurt so bad after watching it.
F A B. clip fell of my chair with laughter.
And thus now we can all see the importance of knowing the precise pepp-out temperature of our pepp-out lighters.
LOL LMAO Peter Sellers is the Best !!!! I can't stop laughing.
I live in Portsmouth and often walk past the house where he was born. It’s now a Chinese restaurant/takeaway. I think he would find that funny.

Absolutely Fantastic ❤️
