Tbh the green one jumped out at me immediately. I thought it was very easy. I only guessed it first because ones relating to the form of the word rather than its meaning are usually purple.

I also has to Google Kojak.

Spoilers

Abbot and Costello.

Laurel and Hardy.

Found green almost immediately, as well as Elementary and Monk from blue and Crown, Dome, and Skull from yellow. Then was lost for ages until I decided to Google wtf "Kojak" is, and around the same time figured out the purple connection. The rest of it fell in place fairly naturally after that.
