'Allo 'Allo - Swedish Art Expert

Swedish art expert Yoop Hoop de Hoop, from Episode 21 'Flight to Geneva' of Series 5 of 'Allo 'Allo!, written by David Croft & Jeremy Lloyd.
Von Strohm fixes his telephone with a piece of chewing gum, so that he and Gruber can hear every word spoken in the office on Helga's telephone. This is so they will be able to find out on which train the paintings will be sent. The next moment, general Von Klinkerhoffen arrives with the Swedish art expert Yoop Hoop de Hoop and the colonel and the lieutenant are ordered out into the ante room. The general knows of the chewing gum trick and thus eliminates that way of listening in on him and the expert. The colonel therefore orders the lieutenant to go outside and climb up to the office window, to hear what is being said in the office. When the general and the expert have finished and let the colonel have his office back, he discovers that Gruber has not managed to climb the ivy, but instead, Helga has been hiding behind the curtain and heard what has been going on. The paintings have been authenticated, but they are not to be sent to Hitler. The art expert has instead paid the general one million in gold bars (in a suitcase) and will send the paintings to "his client" (who is unknown) in Geneva. - Wikipedia

As a Swede I can confirm that Joop Hoop de Hoop is a hundred percent genuine Swedish name! The Hoop de Hoop clan is a distant but very respectable offshoot of the famous Boop de Snoot clan!

[@mantabond]

I nearly fell for it.

[@nightwolfblues6624]

As a Finn, I definitely agree that you Swedes sound like this too. ;)

[@Stefan-]

HA ha ha ! (Im a Swede too)

[@u.v.s.5583]

Isn't the young Sven Hoop da Poop his grand-grandson?

[@24hourschallengechannel67]

Is that the twins of scoop de doop and doop De noop, they are really friendly people

[@oswin9827]

At 2:45 if you listen VERY carefully (because it happens only once ;) ) you can hear a very faint "Help!" from Lt Gruber :)

[@skrivbok]

Joop Hoop de Hoop?! xD Sounds more Dutch than Swedish to me xD

[@feonor26]

Def not swedish lol

[@Ama-hi5kn]

Too me as well. Haha. And who knows... Maybe it *is* a real Dutch name. (They can get kinda weird at times) :P

[@Ettibridget]

In a comedy show in my country they named a dutch character Dick van der Bock.

[@milanmernjik8354]

Duch by name,speaking sweedish accent

[@dutchman1569]

XD yeah

[@The-Jacksonian]

I never realized it... Colonel von Strohm is Sergeant Shultz' older, somewhat smarter brother.

[@isaacbobjork7053]

I am always fascinated how other countries get it all wrong about Swedish names and how we speak

[@zirak93-2]

And also the English accent. It's quite similar to the Norwegian one.

[@eric-yy2cq]

@@zirak93-2 Thats due to all those viking raiding northern England and settling here

[@stephendines1936]

What a name.

[@florenna]

@@stephendines1936 And nothing even remotely Swedish about it ;D

There is something very comforting about Swedish English accent and Swedish language.

[@erwaldox]

That is a terrible «swedish» accent haha

He was supposed to be Swiss.

[@user-in5wp8yo2i]

Best episode ever 😆

[@delamoxica]

Thanks for that bit of info, I had no idea, he's awesome as Strohm! :P

[@abestm8]

Still love all these characters, as inaccurate as they may be. It is how we Brits see them. Incidentally, I think the Swedish Art Experts family moved to Liverpool after the war. They stayed with the Carr family and apparently changed their name to Poop De Scoop to avoid suspicion about the Fallen Madonna Painting. I really miss these characters now.

[@kalle911]

1:55 lightest gold bars ever

[@Adam7510]

yes with price o that time at 35usd per ounce it should be approximately 890 kg of gold to make million.

[@nicholasbenies6456]

The paintings are from IKEA.

[@neilgerace355]

You have to paint the painting yourself by coloring in the numbers...

My Lord Helga is angelic

[@eric-yy2cq]

i know someone who use to cut her hair and Helga is a relly nice person in real life

[@phillipbaker3860]

So the curtains where tides back no Helgar, where was she hiding in order to appear at the end and not be seen

[@davekerner7126]

he sounds dutch to me

[@annlonsdale9396]

he is a knobhead and holland is flooded like crosby 😂😂😂😂🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@schubertuk]

That probably insults as many Dutch as the idea he's supposed to be swedish insults the Swedish. But then, that is the genious of 'Allo 'Allo - it insults all european nationalities with equal idiocy!

[@imfunatparties9463]

Why did he say that?

[@plywoodcarjohnson5412]

I can only guess. But from a writers perspective the did not want to picture the swedes as 100 % Nazis. Only very cooperative.

[@florenna]

@@imfunatparties9463 Because he's not German but Swedish, obviously...

[@florenna]

@@plywoodcarjohnson5412 "Swedes as 100% Nazis"? To my knowledge they had nothng to do with them...

Yoop Hoop de Hoop : ) )))

[@akasspyna]

0:29 Did I hear correctly? Is there a fart when they enter the room? That would make sense considering the Swede's name

[@TheDennys21]

That's the sound of the chair...

[@akasspyna]

@@TheDennys21 such a shame it wasn't a fart

[@garreswe]

Nothing about him sounds Swedish at all, especially the name. Maybe he's Dutch or Belgian but definitely not Swedish. /Swede

[@znotch87]

Perhaps it should be spelled Jup Hup de Hup....

[@bjurv]

The name is not even nearly a parody of Swedish names, - but would work as a Dutch joke name. Of course he is not travelling to Stockholm but to Geneva as the general international fool cannot seperate Sweden from Switzerland.

[@potsdam28]

No his client was a Swiss person. The Swedish art dealer was simply acting on his behalf

[@barbarafechannel3891]

He is not American. They are international fools.

I watched this when I was a kid now as a grown up I got mixed feelings about alloallo.

[@archiebald4717]

Still the funniest series, in fact the last piece of comedy on the BBC.

[@dntlss]

Usually this happens with cartoons and some shows we saw when little that might not be as funny as you remember them but in the case of Allo Allo the older you get the funnier it should be specially if you were born before all this PC lunacy we live in.

[@mr.tomasz5859]

What i meant was its weird to look at nazis as those funny nice guys that we all know weren't so nice... no PC loonacy here

[@sir_humpy]

@@mr.tomasz5859, east of the Oder they were much meaner than west of the Rhine.

That Matt Hancock used to be so funny, I wonder what happened. At least his political persuasion hasn’t changed much!

[@XIIIKarl]

Oh, please, it would have been better had they researched Swedish names before making this episode.

[@perradox460]

I am pretty sure this was a Belgian spy simply posing as Swedish.

[@XIIIKarl]

Yeah, perhaps. If it had been me writing the script, I would have researched Swedish names before writing this scene.

[@GodCutter]

They probably preferred using a funny-sounding name rather than something realistic.

[@MateusVIII]

Do you really think that they are trying to use real names for secondary characters? I mean, have you even heard the names of some of the german generals that appear sometimes? Flokkenstaffen, Sinkenquickken (for an admiral) , Wolkenstiffen, Winkelmeister. Really, no one cares if the name is similar to a real swesidh name, and they aren't trying to make it look like a swedish name. It is a comedy show.

[@XIIIKarl]

I know that. I have watched nearly all the episodes of this show!
