I once knew a veteran of the Russian front living in Spain in the 1980s, I told him about 'Allo 'Allo and he managed to catch it on TV somewhere. He almost died laughing at Gruber.

[@comedyhighlights1135]

Yup lol. I know comedy is subjective but I usually have a hard time underatanding people who don't find this show funny. It's just so simple and basic that I feel like anyone can get a laugh out of it.

[@AFAndersen]

Introducing two of the best characters, and most of their quirks, in one simple scene. Love it!

[@AgentofLADON]

Rene at 2:20 onwards. His facial expressions are one of the best elements of this. His cringe at having to go through the code is tangible.

[@afonsodeportugal]

He may be one of them, but he is probably the manlier of them all: fought in the Russian front and fathered Helga's children!

[@comedyhighlights1135]

True, as Rene would say he's a walking legend xD

@@comedyhighlights1135 I love the old brit comedy shows, I grew up watching them. Nothing that is produced now comes even remotely close to (just my humble opinion): Black Adder, The New Statesman, Red Dwarf, Falty Towers, Only fools and Horses (those are just the ones that spring to my mind now, I am sure i missed quite a few ones)

[@comedyhighlights1135]

The ironic thing is that Gordon Kaye was gay whereas Guy Siner is not. Lol.

[@LWAR]

what do they mean by "them"?,mind my excessively un-intellectual impotence happens sometimes

[@comedyhighlights1135]

"Them" would refer to homosexuals. The running gag about Gruber throughout the series is that he is gay and is in love with Rene. However it is never stated outright. Only inferred through inuendo, remarks, etc

[@hasnfefer]

One of them has tripple meaning in this case, which is noticeable in the moment when Gruber ask: „Does it show?“ Rene answer „Well yes“ and he is pointing on the German Military Uniform. That said: Are you a German Soldier? Which Gruber is, and also in the same time: Are you this Forger which we are waiting for? But Gruber is in this moment only one who knows that he was lonely at the Russian front. This is third meaning, but that isn‘t known to Rene and all other, only to us publicum.
