Sellers, absolute pure comic genius - period - I remember as a kid my Dad and I watching this and my Dad was on floor laughing so hard - Sellers was Inspector Clouseau - he absolutely owned this role!!
the music is literally hilarious and makes this so much funnier. god i was crying. its funny because none of his attempts are even that intelligent or planned well. and its so little water he has to cross, and keeps failing, but keeps trying. that is the beauty of Clouseau. he doesn't believe he is incompetent. that is what makes the character
20 years ago I saw this first with my brother late in the night on star movies ...I was 15 , he was 10...and we both laughed our heads off when the series played every saturday ...today both of us hold jobs thousands of miles far from each other...but I now have my 5 year old son sitting on my lap, giggling hysterically...daddy play it again ! play it again !
Man, some stuff is just timeless. I saw this when it first came out in the 70s, and I swear, I had to hold on to the armrests in that Cinema to stop myself falling off from laughing. The young 'uns get it too because it's a simple set-up and the rest is just Peter Sellers and his comic timing. All-time classic. :)
6 years later, I read your comment to tell you... this clip is a bonding laughing ritual with my 4 yr old great nephew. He runs into my room demanding I play Pink Panther Castle. Then we sit and laugh and "play it again". It's the best. This has been going on for about a year and a half!
@@rosebud3595 May you enjoy countless more moments with him and keep good health for many more years to come. Today my 5 year old is a little over 10...he has a 7 year old sister too :-) Bonding time however is turning into an increasingly luxurious commodity....
@@lookerseeker79 Thank you so much for your comment and sharing your joy :) May you also enjoy good health, laughter and blessings throughout the years. I sooo related with your comment as little Julian and I giggled with glee! I keep telling him not to grow up too fast. Who knows, maybe he will pass it on?!!
The brilliant melancholic 70's music started to play in my head before I actually started watching the scene. It really has stuck that well 30-40 years ago!
There are two scenes - of a very different kind - that I watch when I want to change my lousy mood: - this scene where Sellers tries to cross the mote to get into the castle; - the Monty Python scene "Nobody ever expects the Spanish Inquisition". Both make me forget that I'm actually in a bad mood. 😂😂😂
My mother has been very ill for years. When i was a kid, we used to watch Pink Panther a lot. This scene is one of the very few things that still gets her roaring with laughter.
I have this music on my phone. Whenever my buddy and I work on our hobby car (and he insists on me letting him work alone) I turn this music on and just sit back. He inevitably gets irritated and starts dropping things, banging his head into things, breaking stuff, etc. He doesn't even remember what movie/scene the music is from, his brain just somehow remembers that this music causes a reasonable man to suddenly turn into a complete idiot.
Did you ever see the movie Being There? I think that's what it's called. Brilliant movie. The Party was also a movie that could never be made now, but was one of the funniest movies ever made. Peter Sellers was a genius
@@jimf1964 The Party is great despite the offensiveness of Sellers character. The Great Race is another great movie directed by Blake Edwards and Dr. Strangelove is another great Peter Sellers movie.
Jared Griffiths Yes, as I said, The Party was a hilarious movie. And the offensiveness is in the eye of the beholder. You could just as easily look at it as someone from a totally different culture, totally out of his element, getting into silly situations. It's not as bad as the snowflakes think. I never heard of The great race. I'll look into it.
Many top nodge comedy movies have been made since the early silent film days, but this scene is without question in the top 20, featuring classic, deliberately crafted gags any age and culture does understand, with visual comedy based on simple ideas, serious acting skills and marvellous timing+editing, perfectly finished by the score. In fact, it's done more like a cartoon.
I always played this music as my kids would roar hilariously recalling Clouseau's vain attempts to cross the moat! Peter Sellers, king of slapstick. May he RIP and continue to make us laugh through the eternities! Can u imagine if heaven is watching and listening to the greatest artists of all genres forever. Pray God it is so!
I think "The Pink Panther Strikes Again" is the only Pink Panther movie I've seen entirely, and it combines everything I'd love about the series, from the animated opening titles, to "Does Your Dog Bite?", to fantastic scenes like this one, along with the great music here.
Young people should know that this was huge in 1976. That comedy that just perfect for the times. Every body at school including the teachers were talking about this movie for weeks.
Sellers was a master of subtlety. The little things, like leaving just a few leaves on the pole he uses to vault over the moat. And his expression at the end of the canoe scene, like even he can't believe it. RE "Swine Meaut": In the 50's Sellers was part of a radio team called "The Goons". One of his characters was named "Bluebottle". His catch phrase motif was "You rotten swine, you!", which always produced big applause.
All of these people that create the show it is so so funny you guys took this thing to a level that’s never been matched to this day. I think you’re fantastic.
Watching Peter Sellers aka Inspector Clousseau reminds me very much of the Wyle E. Coyote trying to catch the Road Runner ❗ Grew up.watching & enjoying Peter Sellers antics since I wss a kid in 1973, for 50 years he has brightened my life by watching him whenever I go through a bout of depression 😢 😕 😞 😀
No one was or will ever be better at comedy than Peter Sellers...he died when he was 54 yrs old! Thank goodness for Pink Panther...if anyone else would try, he would end up trying to imitate him and it cannot happen - he created the character! I have the collection. All the movies are one hilarious scene after another (when Cato lies in wait for him on top of the canopy) and screams as he plunged onto Clouseau etc...
They could call the music "The Idiot's Theme." Clouseau was bullet proof. No enemy could ever harm him in any way - a gift from the capricious Gods. The Gods, however, did let fate play with him from time to time, as you can see here, just to keep him humble.
If there ever was a scene that will remain funny until the end of time, this is the one! From the which the year it was released to the present, it hasn't aged a day...
This clip is the story of my life.
Sellers, absolute pure comic genius - period - I remember as a kid my Dad and I watching this and my Dad was on floor laughing so hard - Sellers was Inspector Clouseau - he absolutely owned this role!!
I watched this scene at least 200 times. Tears in my eyes every single time.
the music is literally hilarious and makes this so much funnier. god i was crying.
its funny because none of his attempts are even that intelligent or planned well. and its so little water he has to cross, and keeps failing, but keeps trying. that is the beauty of Clouseau. he doesn't believe he is incompetent. that is what makes the character
the music in this absolutely makes the scene!
That and his jewish face
Love it
I agree. It totally adds to the whimsy and charm. Love it.
Just learnt its actually the “Closeau Theme”. Found it on Apple Music :)
Literally LOLing watching this clip 🤣😂
Peter Sellers was a comedy genius!
The actor, the director, and the composer: three geniuses in action.
Writer
Exactly. Well put.
definitely just perfect match of best artists
Don't forget the stuntman.
@@lord_insany what does jews have to do with it?
This scene is an excellent metaphor for me trying to succeed at life.
You speak for us all!
Same here 🤣
Try to become friends with someone who drives the car into the castle :). Really, networking is 70% of success.
You ain't alone! :D
If you laugh at this then you have succeeded in life.
😊👍😂
without this "Theme" this scene is not complete...two fantastic genius persons....Peter Sellers and Henri Mancini....perfect match
Something has to be said of the mans' sheer determination 😂
Yes indeed!!!!
He doesn't know failure, he doesn't know defeat, he doesn't know........anything.
Kind of like Wile E. Coyote...
🤣🤣
Man’s
Peter Sellers was a pure genius comedian :)
clouseau, the karate chopping genius with the thick trimmed mustache. clouseau always wins

Yup.
Apparently, a terrible human being...but a genius comedian.
E basta! Fa ridere i sassi e i bimbi , bravo 😢🤪

Well, in this case, you'd have to give Chuck Jones credit
Probably the funniest thing I’ve ever seen, next to his skills on the parallel bars

Just only have to hear the first few bars of music to know exactly what I'm watching...classic Sellars 🤠🤣👏👏👏
I like how his hat always stays on!!
That's so you can't tell it's a stuntman doing the actual falls and such.
The writer, the director, the actor, the music....all superb. When it all comes together it's an unequaled classic of Comedy.
Remember watching these old Clouseau movies with my dad, we laughed so hard we cried 😆
Same 😂
He never lost his hat. Like a boss.........
My mom took me to see this in 76 at the ABC New Street Birmingham. I remember my throat aching from laughing so much!
I remember the theater roaring with laughter when this came out.
That absurd pole vaulting attempt at the end always cracks me up.
The boat part had me gasping for breath
Heck, this had me guffawing just now decades later. Some timeless slapstick work there.
Such a hilarious scene. I don't think they could've done any better with the music!
The music is great.
What's the name?

@@Vectron_Of_Cybertronica The Inspector Closeau Theme
Henri Mancini was a genius. Perfect scoring and music
Extremely well made and I can tell you the laughs received in the theatre lasted well after this scene . One of my favourite pink panther movies.
The brilliant melancholic 70's music started to play in my head before I actually started watching the scene. It really has stuck that well 30-40 years ago!
I think that this 3 minutes scene deserves an Oscar...Legendary scene love it
legend is for demonics i now know who these people is )
They don't give Oscars for scenes
My son took me to the cinema to watch this film on my 48th birthday. I still watch it all these years later
This is like watching Wile E. Coyote in a Warner Brothers cartoon.
Excellent observation!
I was waiting for him to try a helmet with a little wheel on it!
Clouseau is endorsed by ACME....
You must watch "The Villian" (Cactus Jack) for a real Warner Brothers cartoon film parody.
Or The Pink Panther.
Stands the test of time...RIP Sellers
mood killer
There are two scenes - of a very different kind - that I watch when I want to change my lousy mood:
- this scene where Sellers tries to cross the mote to get into the castle;
- the Monty Python scene "Nobody ever expects the Spanish Inquisition".
Both make me forget that I'm actually in a bad mood.
😂😂😂
Everything about this marvellous scene is pure perfection.It would be a crime to attempt to recreate it.RIP Peter Sellers you were the real deal
My mother has been very ill for years. When i was a kid, we used to watch Pink Panther a lot. This scene is one of the very few things that still gets her roaring with laughter.
I must have watched this wonderful scene a million times over the years, and I still get tears of laughter now ;-)
Guard A on the wall: Should we, you know, stop him? Sound the alarm?
Guard B on the wall: Stop him? This is the most fun I've had in months!
Perfect actor, perfect direction and perfect music all makes for one of the funniest comedy scenes ever produced.
This scene, where the assassins try to kill him at the festival...and when he and cato fight? pure comedic magic!
I need to play that music while being at work. :-D
This scene reminds me of a Coyote and Road Runner and all those other cartoons where the main character won't give up and it is funny.
Amen for that but Cleusole always gets his man. Wyle couldn't catch the Roadrunner
Now this is called entertaining movie😂😂😂😂😂😂
this is just so hilarious! I can't stop laughing :D
Peter Sellers for the win!!
I have this music on my phone. Whenever my buddy and I work on our hobby car (and he insists on me letting him work alone) I turn this music on and just sit back. He inevitably gets irritated and starts dropping things, banging his head into things, breaking stuff, etc. He doesn't even remember what movie/scene the music is from, his brain just somehow remembers that this music causes a reasonable man to suddenly turn into a complete idiot.
The look of hope in his face when the rope anchor attaches to the draw bridge....🤣
I know its like I got this now 😂
Watched this with my grandparents last night we nearly died laughing at this 😂 🤣
That Mancini amazing score was my first impression when I was watching that episode as a child. Brilliant.
Sellers was incredibly amazing. And so was Herbert Lom!!! Clouseau tortured him for 25 years. Haha
He ended up in a mental institution
Helfen Sie mir, meine Nase zu suchen!

When I first saw this, I was genuinely in stitches, my tummy was hurting so much! lol. :D
Blake Edwards did a Great Job making Pink Panther Movies.
This is my favourite clip in this film and this is my favourite film in the series.
I only came here for the music
blue4600 The name of the song is literaly:
The Inspector Clouseau Theme
Syn Sakuraba † Thanks a lot :P
thank you , I was also looking for it :)
The scene was even more hilarious for us, because in his 50s my dad looked almost exactly like Clouseau.
@@GeneralDullness composed by master Henry Mancini!
The real comedy genius here is Blake Edwards. He created, wrote and directed all "Panthers" movies. "He's the man".
The best movie scene EVER.... LMAO
I always played this music as my kids would roar hilariously recalling Clouseau's vain attempts to cross the moat! Peter Sellers, king of slapstick.

I've bought the complete box set 4 times now, friends borrow but never return. Its
either the quality of the films or the quality of my mates!!
Young people should know that this was huge in 1976. That comedy that just perfect for the times. Every body at school including the teachers were talking about this movie for weeks.
I’ve seen this movie loads of times and this scene still makes me laugh out loud, pure comic genius 🤣
i first saw this when i was 10 , 40 years later it makes makes me laugh!...and that music just adds too the humour:)
Even the quirky music suits his hilarious attempt to cross the water.Absolutely 😂😂😂
The laughter of this classic is medicine to the heart
The music makes this even more hilarious!!!
"Swine Moat...!" Wonderful stuff, one of my favourite scenes ;-)
Thank you for posting this bit! The music makes me laugh because i remember what happena next in the movie! So funny! Good times...

This feels as if it were lifted straight from a classic Laurel & Hardy routine. Stan Laurel and Peter Sellers were good friends.

Such pure, simple, perfect comedy. Does anyone in Hollywood know how to do this, or want to do this any more?
My parents and I love these movies so much we are inclined to say "swine" every time we hear or see something dumb.
The music choice is perfect! 🤣
The music in the scenes, or something very similar, was used for a Sunday program on Deutsche Welle.
No matter how many times I see this, I laugh out loud every time! Brilliant! Thanks for uploading!
Now that is comedy genius.. over 40 years on and we're still laughing. Funny is funny.
Epic scene and a nice shot of a classic Ranger Rover as a bonus.
Thank u you tube for keeping such amazing movie scenes
Everything about this scene is perfect I laugh as hard when I watch it now as I did as a child😂
Sat here wetting myself. Peter Sellers had a unique way with comedy. The man was priceless.
They don't make stuff like this anymore.
This theme has stuck in my head since the first time i saw the movie. The hallmark of a great music writer.
My dad, and my aunt loved Clouseau! So do I. Great memories.
you are a genius for uploading this sir. you have impeccable taste. clouseau is a genius with a thick trimmed mustache. clouseau always wins

And we still had comedic geniuses like Peter Sellers...
Not hollywood tho

I adore this movie. I remember watching it on VHS as a kid while stuck somewhere on vacation
Thank you so much pink panther clips

From the which the year it was released to the present, it hasn't aged a day...
Only watched it 100 times so far…. beautiful music too
Always remember this scene never laughed so much in my life genius at work
the music hahahahahahahahahahahah
Pure brilliance thank you ☘️☘️☘️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
We need more comedians of Peter Sellers' skill! R.I.P.
I remember watching this as a kid with my parents and laughing so hard. I always made them rewind it so we could watch it twice 😂😂😂
I like how he saved the dumbest idea for last.
So simple, yet so funny. Just wonderful.
quite possibly my favourite Clouseau bit - of them all😂😂
Peter Sellers/Clouseau: I can hear him saying "It is ze same" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What a Genius he was.
"Swine moat!" haha, classic.
I think this is the first time that I see any footage of any of the films, even though I've known these two pieces well for a long time!
This is my favourite film in the series and this is my favourite scene in the film.
I liked the dentist scene. Now that was hilarious!
