      As strange as this question seems, nobody has the same sense of humour so you may find it boring, or may find it hilarious, like myself. It's generally considered the best in the 'Panther' series and Maltin gives it ****, a full house. It really is histerical at times such as the pull game Clouseau has with Monsieur Ballon.

        It is absolutely hilarious, and it is the best in the series. Although there is a hilarious scene in Pink Panther Strikes Again, when he is swinging on a bar above the staircase, and he lets go off the bar, and falls down the staircase. So funny!

            I still laugh out loud just thinking about certain scenes.
            same here!
            Whenever I think about "Francois, I've just cut off my thumb"
            and Closeau getting hauled away in the police car 4 times, (Even the sound of the siren is hilarious!) I always laugh out loud, and even when I Manage to choke it back I can't help but grin.

              I love that mystery theme in the movie, and often find myself whistling it, but automatically I follow up with that funny siren, because in the movie you'll always hear that siren after that theme, it's imprinted in my brain, LOL.

                Not as good as "Strikes Again" by a full star 🙂

                    I too saw it again last night on DVD.
                    Absolutely hilarious.
                    Humour is very subtle, but it all comes together at the beginning where he falls into the pond and out of the window, and Dreyfuss stabs himself with the letter opener.
                    At the end though, Clouseaus (however you spell it) great plan is to turn the light off and the murderer will leave the room.
                    Hilarious when they all leave the room get in the car to escape then get blown up by the bomb that Dreyfuss left for Clouseau. That had me in stitches for sheer comedy genius. Funniest thing I've ever seen.

                      After watching the movie about Peter Sellers on HBO, I have been renting the Panther movies to see how funny they are. Yes they are very old and the humor does seem dated at times but there are some still very funny scenes, although Clouseau's accidents with swinging doors does get repetative. Worth a rent in my opinion but definately rent them before you buy the box set.

                          Well i love this type of humor. No matter if you dont like this kind of humor, you must appreciate the genius of Peter Sellers, the king of comedy, who may go down as the funnies actor ever. Great Movie!

                              I have to agree that humor is very subjective. For my money, this is one of the funniest films I have ever seen. If I have to quantify that I would say it's top 5 for me. It's the little things.
                              Sellers sucking ink out of his pen.
                              "You've broken my pointer, now I have nothing to point with."
                              The idea that Clousseu sleeps in his karate suit (whatever it's called).
                              Spinning the globe and then sliding off of it.
                              The billiard cue scene, "Whoever invented that should be shot!"
                              It's the kind of stuff that starts out as a little giggle and, as you think about it and replay it in your mind starts to grow and grow and grow. Hilarious.

                                I think it's the best in the Panther series.

                                  Agreed..This movie is the best of the Pink Panther series. This film should be rated higher than it is.

                                    I hope so because the only Sellers films I own are this and The Party. I like to think I have the best of vintage Sellars.

                                        yes, you bet it's damn funny! The more you think of it the funnier it getsSellers is priceless as the inspector, as usual! As Dreyfus said: "Give me ten men like Clouseau and I could destroy the world."!

                                          The best bits:
                                          Clouseau ripping his trousers while getting out Maria's dossier (they repeated this in 'The Pink Panther Strikes Again')
                                          Clouseau hearing a woman singing thinking she's being screams, charges in the room straight through the window on the other side of the room.
                                          The bed lifting off the floor when the bom goes off.
                                          Clouseau getting out the car on the wrong side and falling in the fountain.
                                          Plus many more!
