Columbo is an American crime drama television series starring Peter Falk as Lieutenant Columbo, a homicide detective with the Los Angeles Police Department. He presents as a disarmingly bumbling idiot and leaves a room only to return with the catchphrase "Just one more thing" to ask a critical question which would reveal he is indeed a highly intelligent investigator and had caught his quarry in a lie. The Reverse Columbo is when someone purports to be smart and then asks a question that reveals they are fucking dumb as a box of hammers.
