Why did you call it oven?

song used: Columbo - Murder Under Glass

[alextheguitarist]

I like how the cookbook thing isn't a request anymore, it's a demand.

[calebmartinson]

I have heard this joke so many times and it still hurts to try to understand it.

[hilotakenaka]

Mrs Columbo is EXACTLY the type of person to make a cookbook. She also would probably sell it only to independent retailers because “she’s not really into franchises, you know. Goes against her personal philosophy”

[WilliametcCook]

Why do they call it _OVEN_ when you
"of IN" the _cold_ food,
"of OUT" _hot, _ eat the food?

[josharpe]

It comes from Old English "ofen", a receptacle in which food is cooked by continuous heat radiated from the structure, from Proto-Germanic "ukhnaz", from Proto Indo-European "aukw", cooking pot, originally, perhaps, something hollowed out.

Skeletor will return with more facts of dubious desire.

Anything makes sense when Gianni says it.

[ItSureIsDanby]

This one's hot n fresh, straight from the Ovout

There’s just something about that sentence, where for a split second it sounds like an actual coherent thought, but then your brain actually processes it.

[Bonelord]

My dad pointed out the continued use of the "This Old Man" tune playing in every episode of Columbo and it gets me every time I hear it

[rbalynch]

"y'know what else is strange? i'm starting to smell toast. is anyone here cooking toast?"

[theemperorofthemoon]

The way Columbo *commands* him to sign his wife's cookbook fucking kills me.

[check]

This man really held a man capture because he wanted his wife’s cookbook signed.

[tylerjones]

This has gotta be the best one of them all, the fantastic juxtaposition of the gibberish sentence followed immediately by his nonchalant “Just seems a little strange”

[sunshin]

So that's what the Columbo dimension is really like...

[rachelclark]

this is such a niche blend of memes cooked to PERFECTION, my compliments to the chef

[bespectacledheroine]

This makes me giddy. Columbo is eternal and this proves it.

[silentantagonist]

I could hear it a thousand times and still have no idea what it means but completely agree with it.

[jvchapman]

At this point all of my knowledge of Columbo comes entirely from the limnal space that is Gianni videos. I WOULD NOT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY.

[tnt]

when i saw the title i knew it was going to be this meme, thank you daddy gianni

[phunkyzilla]

I love Columboposting. I started watching columbo like 5 years back when my dad told me about it, but now it's getting famous (I presume from people watching it on Peacock) and that's made me so happy. Columbo is a gift that should be shared with the world.
