Herr Otto Flick & The Knackwurst Resistance

BBC's finest: 'Allo 'Allo!

Have you ever wanted to see a series that'd make you slap your knees and laugh till you wet youse pants? Well, just get 'Allo 'Allo! It's a perfect melee of witty humor, slapstick madness and utter nonsense told skillfully. Set in the Second World War timeline, you have the Wehrmacht with the French Resistance concocting a plot to steal a painting with the aid of a harmless cafe owner. There's two British airmen disguised as a ruminating mammal that flicks out a torch from its udders to check the time. There's Lt.Gruber, a soft, gentle armored car patrolman with a soft corner for Rene, the cafe owner. Herr Otto Flick, ze officer of ze Gestapo with his sheepish kinks and hidden feelings for Private Helga. My favorite character will always be Captain Hans Geering. " 'TLER!!" The list goes on...

Here are a few excerpts from some of the episodes. Stuff of legends!

René: How quickly I have lost the thread of this tapestry of intrigue!

René: This is my wife, Edith. I have told her everything.
Michelle Dubois: Will she talk?
René: Incessantly. But not about anything important.

Col. Von Strom: Ah, Helga. What can we do for you?
Capt. Hans Geering: Judging from past experience, very little.

Yvette Carte-Blanche: Rene, what are you doing?
René: Cutting my throat, my love.

Edith has suggested that Rene strap dynamite to himself, in order to blow up the General
Edith: You will be buried as a great hero of France.
René: First you will have to scrape me off the wall.

Gen. Von Klinkerhoffen: Guards! Arrest all Gypsies driving fire engines!!

René: Man of a thousand faces, every one the same.

Capt. Hans Geering: Do you not see? That if you kill him with the pill from the till by making with it the drug in the jug, you need not light the candle with the handle on the gâteau from the château.
René: Simple plans are always the best.
(HANS IS THE FUNNIEST!)

René: We will stick out like a carrot in an omelet.

Col. Von Strom: You are exceeding your authority. The Gestapo has no jurisdiction over senior officers of the German Army.
Capt. Hans Geering: Or junior officers.
René: What about café owners?
Capt. Hans Geering: They can do what they like with them.
