I have to really say, this is how you would do a continuation in the modern era, no trendy stuff added to lines, no slangs, just fine words that fits the character in a environment like this!
The sad part is that he could have easily altered his alibi by doing the old forehead-tap-and-shake and say "What was I thinking? Lieutenant, I wasn't playing the PS2 release of Kingdom Hearts, it was the PS3 remaster collection, Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix. I really must apologize, but I've been so busy lately, what with the murder, and I must've forgotten which version it was." Course... That'd be when Columbo notes that they added trophies with HD 1.5 Remix and his player profile doesn't show anything...
@@SodapopKevin There was never even a PS3, it was all in your head. It was actually just games released for PC that you played on what you *_thought_* were emulators but really just the intended console !
I'd like to personally say thank you to Gianni for making a video specifically geared towards me, a fan of Columbo, Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy 7. "My wife loves that little Sora guy."
I love this video. It's such a bizarre cross-section of late 00s console war memes and Columbo. This is one of those things the algorithm will drag up for somebody in like 10 years time and be completely incomprehensible. Heck, will people even remember the "PS3 has no games" thing in 10 years? That's not its legacy over time and was very much a critique concentrated around the first couple of years of its life.

This genuinely feels like it coudl be an official episode of some weird modern Columbo radio show where almost everything is normal, but all the cases involve this oddly modern subject matter. And I gotta say, I'd absolutely listen to it. In fact, I want it, damn it.
The thing that makes the writing in this video 100% Columbo is how he says “My memory from that dreadful night, it’s all jumbled”. Like, why would his memory be jumbled if he was supposedly unaware that the murder was taking place? It’s just a subtle hint in his speech to remind the reader that yes, he is guilty, and he’s starting to crack. Excellent job, sir.
Well, we don't know what happened previously in the hypothetical episode. The image they're using for the killer is Jack Cassidy's character from Murder By the Book, and that character *did* contrive to "find out" basically on the day of the murder, and gave himself a good reason to have memory problems.
Flawless. There was so much of this that absolutely killed me: the PS3 not having games, the slight zoom in for the killer's inhale, and the fact that he fucking killed Jerma holy shit

You did such a good impression of a classic Columbo villain that I didn't recognize it was you at all. I know that's typically the point of voice acting, but I just wanted to compliment your range.
I have watched a LOT of Columbo recently and, well... this is spot on. Every episode contains about an hour of this exact pattern of dialogue. Beautifully done, chaps
I've noticed some things, while watching the show. Columbo's life stories about wife, siblings, etc. aren't consistent. If you ever note them down, it turns out gibberish. For example Columbo does not know how to cook at all, then he said he learned to cook since childhood, in one case he and his wife could not find a babysitter for the children, in other they never had children, said he does all the shopping for the house and then said Mrs. Columbo manages all the family funds, and so on. What I get from this is that Columbo is either a pathological liar or screenwriters just forgot what they've written in previous series. I like to think it's the forward and it's all a facade, a musk to gain trust. Or he simply doesn't tell the whole truth about his real life to people who are potential criminals. There is also a clear difference between "public Columbo" and "Columbo on his own", it's like two different men. Either way, I believe that Columbo is a good man, who wants to do the right thing. It's just that there is some sort of darkness in him as well.
I think it's less that he feels a need to lie about his home life, and more that he deliberately makes up whatever detail he needs in order to casually guide a conversation towards nudging the details he wants out of someone in a way that sounds offhanded and nonthreatening.
Yeah don’t forget how he described her: ‘like me but in a dress!’😂 or something to that effect, implying she’s his doppelgänger OR she really doesn’t exist

Geeze, funny the way the world works, ammI right? [SIGHS] Oh, just one more thing. Why so serious?"
He isn't a pathological liar, it's part of his act as a rambling forgetful detective specifically so that the crime perpetrators underestimate him and slip up into accidental confession.
It is genuinely *shocking* how accurate to the show your performance as Columbo is, Gianni. The voice, the mannerisms, sound design, it's like Falk himself is doing this.
"Look here, mister! To accuse me of something as dreadful as murder, in my own home! I've never seen that controller before in my life, and I can prove it! I've had my dual shock controller since the console released, and I'd never play without its rumble features." "Oh, of course sir. Sorry to inconvenience you, I'll get outta your hair. Have a nice day. Oh, but there is one thing. You said you had your controller since launch, and that does check out. But the PS3 didn't launch with DualShock controllers, they had Sixaxis instead. Now Sixaxis, that was some interesting tech. They could read the motion of the controller as inputs in the game. But see, those fine nerds over at Sony couldn't figure out how to fit that alongside the rumble in the controller, so those controllers didn't have that feature. Now tell me, 'cause all this mumbo-jumbo is going over my head; how would you be playing with rumble if you ain't got one of those Dualshocks?"
Honestly, TH-cam keeps shoving stuff about this Jerma fellow down my throat, even though I refuse to watch the videos, out of spite more than anything, somehow he manages to slip through the cracks and reach me anyway.
The Peter Falk impression is very good and the writing captures the heart and soul of classic Columbo episodes, but I am beyond impressed at anyone doing a Jack Cassidy impression at all, much less such a flawless one. Please keep these coming.
@@WakiTheCroc Elbertson is one of his pseudonyms, not his real name. Dunno if he really likes his real name shared all that much so I won't post it here, but it's easy to look up if you're curious.
It's because Columbo is fairly timeless. We all love a good detective story where the pompous well-off guy who arrogantly believes he's committed the perfect crime has his alibi picked apart until he admits defeat. The PS3 _did_ have games, eventually.
"GOOD DAY COLUMBO. IM TRYING TO SLEEP. YOU CAN LEAVE NOW." "Alright, I'll get out of your hair... Oh, um, gee, I forgot to say this earlier but-" *Screams of agony* "Huh, he cracked earlier than I expected."
Even though it’s a meme there has never been a more accurate portrayal of Columbo. Most episodes are just as goofy as this and I used to watch it every night of the week. An absolute classic.
you see of course, a crafty killer woulda claimed he was playing Final Fantasy Tactics instead, but columbo always makes them try and use the easy excuses. Truly a timeless show.
The “PlayStation (number larger than 3) has no games is a timeless joke and has been relevant for the ps3, ps4 (it still is for that one) and ps5. It’ll probably apply for the ps6 and ps7 when those come out
Well, woddencha know it, there's a whole series like this on that eh streamin' service... "Peacock", isn't it? You see they got this show called "Columbo". Sounds just like it. My wife turns on an episode every night.
@@barragethree5047 I'll note that while Peacock is free, it's "technically" only usable in the US. If you're from outside the US a VPN can bypass that though. I'll also note that you'll have to download an apk and be in airplane mode if you wanna watch it on your phone. It is well worth the effort though. Columbo is a fantastic show to put on before bed.
@@stocchinet I feel like he's more of a brawler kind of guy, usually sticking to the older characters, but not minding a try at the "anime swordfighters" from time to time.
I would absolutely, unironically, watch an entire movie in this style. Like, I love the idea of a classic murder mystery movie like this, but all of the dialogue is slightly tweaked to make it funnier and more memable.
Just a 2 hour conversation that just keeps "oh, one more thing"ing? Well, it's not exactly this style, but otherwise Knives Out is pretty bang on to that description if you've not watched it yet.
it's been two months, but i thought i'd give a couple encouraging words, yes he may be gone, but as long as you keep fond memories of him, as long as you keep him in your heart, he'll live on, the one thing anyone ever wants to is to be remembered once they pass on, to know they made an impact on the world, no matter how tiny that impact was.
Not gonna lie, the shift from KH to FF7 with Cloud as the common factor was a stroke of momentary genius. I'd have admitted guilt the second he called out my PS3 not being able to play PS2 games.
I'll randomly say "Now how can you be playing your ps3 when the ps3 has no games." To my friend on discord. That line has lived rent free in my head for 2 years
The dialog is interstellar, I laughed several times when watching this. Seeing serious middle-aged men from another time talking about gamer things and knowing that Jack Cassidy's character is a gamer and a Twitch streamer is beyond hilarious xD
Your videos made me start watching Columbo, I ended up becoming a big fan, and now I'm geeking out about how your Columbo videos are getting even better.
I love how this feels like you asked AI to recreate a modern Columbo episode, but it's not. This is brilliant work! The voice acting, the dialogue...it's 100% accurate to the show!
Thanks gianni, because of these memes i end up discovering Columbo and talked to my dad to watched together, he really end it up loving it, shame that we finish it now and amazing work with the script it really feels like watching a gotcha scene
I rewatched this funny little meme video a few days ago, then later found out that I could watch columbo on peacock. Am now 6 episodes in. Its actually a really really great detective show, Peter falk is amazing, and this video gets the nuances of lieutenant columbo down perfectly
This is literally so perfect, I can't stand it! Not only are the voices very good impressions of either actor, you captured their inflections and everything, AND the particular cadence and style of written dialogue that the series is known for. Somebody is a real fan of columbo.
"How could you have played your PS3 if PS3 has no games?", Columbo asked. "Well I was playing one of my PS2/1 games", he replied, still not trying to assume that PS3 had any games of its own. Perfection.
My parents love colombo and when i showed this to them they thought that this was absolutely brilliant because of how well it mimics the writing and the voice of both colombo and the jack cassidy is nice too
I used to work at a retro games store and tried on multiple occasions repairing the NEC capacitors on the CECHA01 PS3 (backwards compatible model). That particular model of PS3 fails all the time because of bad caps, it's one of the main reason why they're so rare. Basically, this video felt like a call out to my soul.
That could actually be a good tactic for murder investigations and alibis. Your save file and what time you saved it could be a good way to determine if someone was actually chilling on Kingdom Hearts or beating someone to death with a controller.
Everything about this is perfect, from the way the perp gets annoyed at the repeated questions, to Columbo revealing he already investigated something and was just fishing for information.
I like how the suspect's subtitles say "Final Fantasy 7" like he's clueless while Columbo's subtitles properly say "Final Fantasy VII".
It's the little things like that...
Oh, how very... observing of you, Sr....
His subtitle also misspells Spyro. I thought that was an honest mistake until you pointed that out. Very clever.
I love analyzing media and I love when other people do it too, thx for saying this lol

But I found out, that she gets in deep, and I mean real deep with the sharks. These are them tough guys, and well, they cut up her face. It's really not pretty. No siree. And well, a detective's salary isn't what it used to be we can't pay for any of them fancy surgieres. And I just wanna see Missus Columbo smile again, so I take that there razer, and I put it in my mouth...
And you know what? She can't stand the sight of me. Geeze, funny the way the world works, ammI right? [SIGHS]
Oh, just one more thing.
Why so serious?"
He isn't a pathological liar, it's part of his act as a rambling forgetful detective specifically so that the crime perpetrators underestimate him and slip up into accidental confession.
It is genuinely *shocking* how accurate to the show your performance as Columbo is, Gianni. The voice, the mannerisms, sound design, it's like Falk himself is doing this.
"Look here, mister! To accuse me of something as dreadful as murder, in my own home! I've never seen that controller before in my life, and I can prove it! I've had my dual shock controller since the console released, and I'd never play without its rumble features."
"Oh, of course sir. Sorry to inconvenience you, I'll get outta your hair. Have a nice day.
Oh, but there is one thing. You said you had your controller since launch, and that does check out. But the PS3 didn't launch with DualShock controllers, they had Sixaxis instead. Now Sixaxis, that was some interesting tech. They could read the motion of the controller as inputs in the game. But see, those fine nerds over at Sony couldn't figure out how to fit that alongside the rumble in the controller, so those controllers didn't have that feature. Now tell me, 'cause all this mumbo-jumbo is going over my head; how would you be playing with rumble if you ain't got one of those Dualshocks?"
Bravo sir bravo columbo would be proud
I'm grinning ear to ear, good job
@MageBurger idk, I was just having fun and I didn't know the measurements of the different controllers. My bad.
Everything I learn about Jerma has been against my will. I'm curious to see how much I can learn from this method
Search "Rat Movie: Mystery of the Mayan Temple" on TH-cam and watch the video. This is not a request. 🔫🤬
Did you know that Jerma once threw up an entire sleeve of Oreos in his mother's bed during his adult life?
@@LgMONSTAa and that happened quite recently too
Honestly, TH-cam keeps shoving stuff about this Jerma fellow down my throat, even though I refuse to watch the videos, out of spite more than anything, somehow he manages to slip through the cracks and reach me anyway.
Yeah, that streamer is FUCKED.
The Peter Falk impression is very good and the writing captures the heart and soul of classic Columbo episodes, but I am beyond impressed at anyone doing a Jack Cassidy impression at all, much less such a flawless one. Please keep these coming.
I can't handle how accurate to every episode of Columbo this is.
I just watched the episode this character appears in ("Murder by the Book"). Gianni nailed his voice, and the music is the same too.
Love how the victim of this gamer murder is suggested to be Mr. Jeremy Elbertson
What's the reference? I'm not familiar :D
@@IntrusiveThot420 Jeremy Elbertson is the real name of Jerma985, an e-clown
@@WakiTheCroc gianni is so impeccable with the references in his scripts 😂
@@WakiTheCroc Elbertson is one of his pseudonyms, not his real name. Dunno if he really likes his real name shared all that much so I won't post it here, but it's easy to look up if you're curious.
@@Em0srawk There is a reason he refers to himself as Elbertson, so yeah, no need to talk more about it.
I don't know how, but the "PS3 has no games" joke somehow managed to be more outdated than Columbo itself.
Great work as always!
It's because Columbo is fairly timeless. We all love a good detective story where the pompous well-off guy who arrogantly believes he's committed the perfect crime has his alibi picked apart until he admits defeat.
The PS3 _did_ have games, eventually.
@@benjaminoechsli1941 The PS3 still has no games
while there may be games for the ps3, now, there are no ps3s
@@Oh-Ben L
its ok now the ps5 has no games
Gianni doesn't disappoint!
"GOOD DAY COLUMBO. IM TRYING TO SLEEP. YOU CAN LEAVE NOW."
"Alright, I'll get out of your hair... Oh, um, gee, I forgot to say this earlier but-"
*Screams of agony*
"Huh, he cracked earlier than I expected."
2:23 Something tells me Mr. Elbertson was an absolutely f u c k e d streamer.
“What’s your favorite Columbo episode?”
“It’s complicated.”
YESSSSS IT'S OUT
zzzzeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Saraaauuuhhh
@@malum9478 ddddd
Sarararararara
Wasn’t expecting you her
Damn, this script being this good, and then you drop the bombshell of MR ELBERTSON? 10/10.
Truly a FUCKED UP surprise.
@@RiggedDynamo truly a PSYCHOTIC surprise
Even though it’s a meme there has never been a more accurate portrayal of Columbo. Most episodes are just as goofy as this and I used to watch it every night of the week. An absolute classic.
“But sir…”
“How could you have your wires crossed? It’s a very simple task, yet you stood by the panel for more than a minute?”
you see of course, a crafty killer woulda claimed he was playing Final Fantasy Tactics instead, but columbo always makes them try and use the easy excuses. Truly a timeless show.
The PS3 doesn't even use an external memory card to save games, and excellent bluff from the lieutenant.
Not to mention the card he held up was an original PS1 memory card, something the perp would have recognized since he himself owns PS1 games.
Nearly 3 minutes of “modernized” Columbo. Beautiful.
The best part is that this joke could be relevant again thanks to the PS5’s limited library. :V
Sad thing is unlike the PS3, the PS5 hasn’t been getting a bunch of kino games later after launch.
The “PlayStation (number larger than 3) has no games is a timeless joke and has been relevant for the ps3, ps4 (it still is for that one) and ps5. It’ll probably apply for the ps6 and ps7 when those come out
every time columbo goes "oh, one more thing" i get giddy with excitement
he nailed jack cassidy's smug voice
Their voices are so auditorily aesthetically pleasing
Well, woddencha know it, there's a whole series like this on that eh streamin' service... "Peacock", isn't it? You see they got this show called "Columbo". Sounds just like it. My wife turns on an episode every night.
@@barragethree5047 I'll note that while Peacock is free, it's "technically" only usable in the US. If you're from outside the US a VPN can bypass that though. I'll also note that you'll have to download an apk and be in airplane mode if you wanna watch it on your phone.
It is well worth the effort though. Columbo is a fantastic show to put on before bed.
The little zoom on Ken when he breathes in is fantastic
Y’all remember when Franklin invited Columbo into his gamer pad, and the two of them played Smash Bros? Probably one of my favorite scenes.
Columbo mains sora
@@stocchinet I feel like he's more of a brawler kind of guy, usually sticking to the older characters, but not minding a try at the "anime swordfighters" from time to time.
I just love how they both agree that the PS3 has no games, like at all, aside from old PS2 and PS1 games. This is incredible!
As a old fan of this show, This is perfect!
Oh wow I’d forgotten about you. Your comment has reminded me of your existence. I have now subscribed

@@archusrtm6325 thats true! im gonna check out his vids again id forgotten about him too
What do you know what you say what you know what you say what you know what you say
I would absolutely, unironically, watch an entire movie in this style. Like, I love the idea of a classic murder mystery movie like this, but all of the dialogue is slightly tweaked to make it funnier and more memable.
Just a 2 hour conversation that just keeps "oh, one more thing"ing?
Well, it's not exactly this style, but otherwise Knives Out is pretty bang on to that description if you've not watched it yet.
Did you know there's an entire series like this?
@@Gustav_Kuriga What's it's name?
@@joapercan6887 Columbo lol
@@badabang. No, I mean, with the dialogue being stupid, not the actual columbo series.
By Nomura-logic the second half of the episode involves visiting the world of the Flying Nun with a special appearance of Columbo's Nobody Xumolboc.
I'm a simple man. I hear xumolboc, i click like.
PS3 has no games is just the best joke. It's just so funny. And this is just phenomenally done!
Joke?
@@Yormunzumr The implication of a company releasing a console and forgetting to release anything for it, exquisite
@@Yormunzumr
Uncharted, Killzone, the Last of Us, InFamous, etc. Sure ps3 had no games at the start, but later on - oh boy
@@steelbear2063 Yeah, but that joke was so popular at the beginning it just kinda stuck.
@@steelbear2063 What games? Just some movies and a Halo clone.
I like to think that the guy columbo is talking to didn't commit the murder, he was just embarrassed about the game he was playing.
The way he said "ps3 has no games" was hilarious.
These shorts introduced me to the character of Colombo, and I am incredibly grateful for them
He's actually just making full Columbo episodes now.
My father died about a week ago, I haven't been able to smile or laugh at anything. Except for this. Thank you, Gianni. You have made me laugh again
I lost my father just over a year ago. I know the pain, buddy. I hope you're doing alright.
Jesus loves you
hang in there!
it's been two months, but i thought i'd give a couple encouraging words, yes he may be gone, but as long as you keep fond memories of him, as long as you keep him in your heart, he'll live on, the one thing anyone ever wants to is to be remembered once they pass on, to know they made an impact on the world, no matter how tiny that impact was.
Your father didn't die. You're misremembering. You have to misremember, see- its better than the alternative.
Not gonna lie, the shift from KH to FF7 with Cloud as the common factor was a stroke of momentary genius. I'd have admitted guilt the second he called out my PS3 not being able to play PS2 games.
I'll randomly say "Now how can you be playing your ps3 when the ps3 has no games." To my friend on discord. That line has lived rent free in my head for 2 years
Having Jerma be the victim is the cherry on top. Well done once again, good sir.
this is amazing, it's literally like watching an episode of Columbo. That deep breathe in at 2:02 was right out of the show lmao
The dialog is interstellar, I laughed several times when watching this. Seeing serious middle-aged men from another time talking about gamer things and knowing that Jack Cassidy's character is a gamer and a Twitch streamer is beyond hilarious xD
Your videos made me start watching Columbo, I ended up becoming a big fan, and now I'm geeking out about how your Columbo videos are getting even better.
Backwards Compatibility. What a beautiful dream it feels like.
Fascinating. A weird paradoxial universe where gaming consoles were invented earlier then expected.
Along with the internet in general and it's culture.
I love this. Never stop dipping your toes into the columbo dimension
As someone who binged 6 seasons of Columbo within a week...
This has all the makings of a canon episode
I love how this feels like you asked AI to recreate a modern Columbo episode, but it's not. This is brilliant work! The voice acting, the dialogue...it's 100% accurate to the show!
I've watched several episodes and I come back to this and .. it's just another episode in the show. xD It's so good.
This is amazing. I'd like to see/hear more Columbo with a modern twist.
yessss more columbo voicelines
Thanks gianni, because of these memes i end up discovering Columbo and talked to my dad to watched together, he really end it up loving it, shame that we finish it now and amazing work with the script it really feels like watching a gotcha scene
Damn, I can’t believe you’re rebooting the show for free.
I rewatched this funny little meme video a few days ago, then later found out that I could watch columbo on peacock. Am now 6 episodes in. Its actually a really really great detective show, Peter falk is amazing, and this video gets the nuances of lieutenant columbo down perfectly
This is one to one with the structure of a Columbo episode, I love it
holy crap i got so invested on this and it's over now
hope the fundraiser gets going huge, thanks for the work gianni
This is literally so perfect, I can't stand it! Not only are the voices very good impressions of either actor, you captured their inflections and everything, AND the particular cadence and style of written dialogue that the series is known for. Somebody is a real fan of columbo.
"How could you have played your PS3 if PS3 has no games?", Columbo asked. "Well I was playing one of my PS2/1 games", he replied, still not trying to assume that PS3 had any games of its own. Perfection.
My parents love colombo and when i showed this to them they thought that this was absolutely brilliant because of how well it mimics the writing and the voice of both colombo and the jack cassidy is nice too
"You missed that one, try another!"
I used to work at a retro games store and tried on multiple occasions repairing the NEC capacitors on the CECHA01 PS3 (backwards compatible model). That particular model of PS3 fails all the time because of bad caps, it's one of the main reason why they're so rare.
Basically, this video felt like a call out to my soul.
That could actually be a good tactic for murder investigations and alibis. Your save file and what time you saved it could be a good way to determine if someone was actually chilling on Kingdom Hearts or beating someone to death with a controller.
They coulda left the game running idle while they killed ol jerma.
@@alicev1500 or even better, they have friends in a party chat that will back up their alibi
1:15 WHY IS JACK CASSIDY'S HAND SO BIG????!!
these are infinitely funnier now that i’m actually watching Columbo
The “oh, and one more thing” is spot on. Kudos to you for making this masterpiece, just like the actual show😂
Everything about this is perfect, from the way the perp gets annoyed at the repeated questions, to Columbo revealing he already investigated something and was just fishing for information.
This makes me so giddy as a Columbo fan, and the Jerma refrence..Outstanding! i love each and every one of these mini masterpieces.
THE PLOT TWIST THAT IT WAS JERMA WHO WAS MURDERED EGADS
This video cured my congestion, very good job sir.
