I'm from Poland, and 'Allo 'Allo was huge here back in the day. I remember watching the show as a kid and having a huge crush on Maria and Yvette. I get so nostalgic immediately when I hear the theme song, it reminds me of simpler times

[@sebastianwozniak5130]

Oh yes! As a child, I used to watch this wonderful series in the evenings after taking a bath 🤭😝 Good memories!

[@frustratedfriar9632]

I'm from Australia and I agree with what you said. 'Allo 'Allo was huge out here too and I too loved it, watched it when I was a kid and laughed and laughed until my sides hurt. My mates, at school, and I would have another good laugh the next day too when chatting about the latest episode. This show and Open All Hours were, and still are, my favourite two comedy shows of all times. Latter day comics (mmm, so called) just do not come up to this level any more.

​ @Dalle Samllhals ​ but why? because a minority terrorised majority, brutally enforced their ways and now we are supposed to blindly follow their orders just because? SJW and their PC is bringing the west down, when will the westerners wake up and open their eyes (but not in terms of being "woke")? I'm not talking about being openly racist, sexist, homophobic and generally unpleasant to one another, but if you're not allowed to even laugh about it, then something is definitely wrong and it will create mental and anxiety problems in that part of the population that actually uses their heads not only to feed themselves. The current SJW approach is a weakness that will be exploited by hostile powers like China, Russia or others when the time comes. Besides if today it was "you stupid man" said by a woman then it would be all cool, right? Because women can be sexist towards men, non-whites can be racist towards whites and homosexuals can be heterophobic towards heterosexuals, it's all good no? It seems that currently, the biggest enemy of the west is a white straight man, though actually racism and sexism in low doses are healthy and natural because we are different and that's the fact that's impossible to obscure by aggressive shouting, cancelling and ostracisation. The race is IMO less relevant than ethnicity in this equation because if not counting for a few physical differences that don't matter much we are still the same humans, it's more about the culture and upbringing in which a given person grew up as people are usually scared of new and different, so, for example, the English dislike the Nigerians, as it's a different culture, maybe also religion. If Nigerians that come to England would from the start use the same expressions as Englishmen, had the same accent, same traditions, same viewpoint, same behaviour, and did the same things the same way then they would be much more generally accepted, regardless of actual physical differences. Another example of "racism" (it should be called ethnicism) - English resent Poles, which are from the same continent, have the same skin colour, sometimes we even share a similar bloodline as a part of the English had Polish ancestry and vice versa and yet there is still an antipathy due to different culture, language and traditions. Although with sexes, it's different because physiological and mental differences can be seen plain as day and there is no way to equalise both sexes, man and women are not the same and never will be, we think differently, we are built differently, we follow different solar/lunar cycles, so what's the problem with acknowledging it and laughing about it? I wrote at length and I don't know if it makes any sense, I didn't write in English for quite some time, so sorry for sidetracking and bad English :P All in all what I wanted to say is that we need to stand up to all the negativity that is being pushed by SJW and start fighting for our freedom, otherwise we can just lay down and wait for SJW to strip us of it. Let us eat shit, 17 quadrillions of flies cannot be wrong ;)

[@ak5659]

Right! The only other example I can think of is whwn you have Germans trying to speak Polish. Polish pronunciation is MUCH harder for Germans than the other way around. It's classic comedy. As soon as realize a Derman will have to say a Polish name you start laughing because you know it'll be a trainwreck. Do a search of 'Grzegorz Breczyszczykiewicz' in 'how I started wwii'.

[@grindlessenior]

[@unedited8204]

'Allo 'Allo is absolutely brilliant. What I find most remarkable about it is that it pulls off the endlessly recurring themes of sleaze and innuendo, which remain predictable at all times, with impressive class and innocent hilarity. That's because it creates a world, or a universe, where this absurdity authentically belongs. That and its use of accents to signify different languages, and the ludicrous antics, it's simple but brilliant.

[@guguigugu]

also the fact that a fake mustache is an impenetrable disguise

[@dingopisscreek]

The best part is Officer Crabtree. His 'Good Moaning' is legendary. To have everyone speaking English but the French not understanding the English and vice versa was a brilliant twist.

[@slouhend]

I was brought up in Nipples. You know the old suing: See Nipples and do.

[@Tanirogalarn]

It was not a brilliant twist. It was the only way for the series to exist. Can you seriously imagine a series with passages in French and German with subtitles for a British audience?

[@annmitchell4663]

It was supposed to be an English spy speaking bad French..thats why the French couldn't understand him.

[@philrob1978]

@@Tanirogalarn I think you may have taken this a bit too literally. The characters are speaking in French, but for the sake of the audience, we're hearing it as English. Officer Crabtree turns up speaking really bad French, which is why he sounds like he does. It's a bit meta, oddly so for something that was made in the 80s.

Also the portrayal of the English is funny how we all talk posh and say “tally ho”, “tickety boo”, “chocks away” and “back to old Blighty”. The Italian captain also has loads of medals (was in later seasons) despite him and his men are cowards (my grandfather used to say Italian tanks had 6 gears, 1 forward & 6 for reverse) and he’s always flirting with women. Out of all the countries represented here England, Germany, France and Italy the French come out looking the best. I speak German fluently and spent a few months in Germany doing contract work about 17yrs ago and I found out that ‘Allo ‘Allo is actually popular in Germany to my surprise and it’s nice to hear a French person’s opinion on it as I didn’t know that it was aired in France

Couple of facts about the musical numbers towards the end: the song sung by Lt. Gruber is from 'The Blue Angel', sung by Marlene Dietrich, here with English lyrics. The Bavarian slap dance number is set to the German national anthem. Guy Siner, the actor playing Lt. Gruber, appears in a small role in the first installment of the POTC franchise, Curse of the Black Pearl. In an interview he expressed satisfaction that people thought he actually did play the piano in that scene, even tho he faked it.

I always found it amusing how the French characters would always be given dialogue with an overtly French sentence structure e.g. 'Pen of my aunt' as opposed to 'My aunt's pen'. The typically English plural possessives were avoided by the scriptwriters for their lines. That sort of attention to the kinds of things that an English audience finds odd about the French language are what helped to make it so successful. It always brought back memories of French class at school. 😄

What a simple way to show how different accents of the same languages can be used instead of the languages itself. Negating the need for subtitles/translator voice overs! What a wonderful concept !

Also,i like the concept too but the problem with it is it's still in english but just different accents(german,french,british),for non-english speakers at that time it was still in english but the show got dubbed in other few languages too and they used the same concept as the original,same language but different accents,germans did a great job on it,in my opinion the closest to the original

@@dallesamllhals9161 You may sound incredulous but I think it was her way of avoiding the praise involved in working so hard to overcome the tribulations caused by Covid. She also has an OK Russian accent and Polish accent despite there being no Russians or Poles in Allo' Allo'.

@@dallesamllhals9161 I assume she was making a joke but it does highlight for German she is supposed to sound exactly like a German but the if a German is learning English it is quite acceptable to learn the pronunciation of the south east but still have a strong German accent. You know that in 'Allo 'Allo the accents are there so we can laugh at our own preconceptions. It is mocking the original BBC series which had Bernard Hepton in it.

Omg... So good to have belly laughs again. Love this 😂❤️

Excellent sitcom. Along with Fawlty Towers.

I love allo allo, still adore it but I never got fawlty towers. I always thought it was overrated

Richard Gibson was and is - a most beautiful specimen of human beauty. I honestly believe Peter Scolari had his acting career because of Gibson. I’m sure he reminded casting people of this gorgeous man, whether they realized it or not.

A lovely reminder of the days when British comedy was funny.

[@masterknife8423]

This isn't funny imo

During the 1980s in Yugoslavia we had this daily night program and we were able to enjoy all the golden era BBC and Thames shows: Allo Allo, Only Fools And Horses, Python, Mr. Bean...plus replay the next day afternoon for us kids 😁

This was a late night nothing show on Norwegian state TV back in the days. I was barely 10 years old. Still loved it. Second to Seinfeld

[@hazydreamer7965]

I used to watch this with my late mother. Very, very amusing.

This show is funnier when dubbed in other languages, something very rare for a British comedy.

What glorious comedy we had.

[@annellora]

I'm surprised you didn't just put all s1 episodes here in their full length, every single second of this series is "the funniest bit", before watching it, I had no idea that something so hilarious and perfect can even exist. On the other hand, tormenting my friends with random bits of the series is so much easier than trying to convince them to watch at least one episode.

[@richardharries5825]

Show them some alf garnet as well. That's what you call good old British humour.

[@FizzVizard]

@@richardharries5825 Steptoe and son, I loved that as a kid, it was the inspiration for the USA sit com Standford and son, not a patch on the original.

The BBC are flogging individual episodes for £1.99, they won't let' Allo 'Allo be available for free on KZbin.

The very concept of Allo Allo was ingenius.

This is the best comedy show ever , no show comes close even only fools and horses which I loved

[@LyfovRyan51]

Only have one series. Wish I had them all.

[@janslavik5284]

I know this show by heart in my language, but it's nice to listen to the original again. Are you gonna do an episode of "Funniest Bits" for every series?

[@rockypluto2683]

Grew up in Fiji and started watching this show in my teens and it’s still my go to shows all the time here in the Us. Such great comedy love it.

Absolute comedy genius i laughed so much 💛

[@tomiayomi]

It was also one of my favourite shows back in 90's. Although as teenager I didn't get all the gags, I always enjoyed it. Interesting fact: it seems people in Germany don't know it at all... I wonder why.

[@jamesmilton6529]

I heard in a interview, apparently German TV was forbidden from having any Nazi TV shows on the air.

[@scosijns88]

The series was prohibited in Germany when it aired in the 80s
