I remember watching the commentary of this episode. John Cleese was saying how everyone was getting frustrated with the episode because there was so much happening all at the same time. It was worth it though. This scene is perfection
Sam Mortimer I was on a bus around Dublin a while ago. When we passed a big poster advertising the Mrs Brown's Boys movie the guide apologised on behalf of the Irish Martin.
This would never happen with German hotel guests now, everyone would be talking about Eurovision or dance music instead... At least the younger generation would be...
@@garyturner5739 Hey, it’s alright. Besides, I just saw the first 12 episodes of the series. So, I should be fine. Glen Close is just amazing in this show.
You're right, it does look alot like Graham, but apparently it is Derek Suthern. He was a prolific background character in the seventies, appearing in many episodes of Porridge & Dr Who amongst others. I've never heard him speak though.
This episode in particular is basically 2 episodes in 1. The first half is about the fire drill, but throughout the first half of the episode they make several mentions of a group of Germans that come in the second half. The fire drill portion gives Basil the concussion that makes him act so inappropriately around the German visitors in the second half.
Another tory voter without a brain. If I remember correctly when the Labour were last in charge between 1997-2008 we stayed in the EU. When the tory party took over in 2009-present they left the EU thanks to David Cameron for being against showing identity cards.

I love how he gets hysterical so easily. Its brilliant

this show will never get old
They really do not make comedy like this anymore
That Mrs Browns boys was the "comedy" highlight over christmas shows how far we have fallen.
Sam Mortimer I was on a bus around Dublin a while ago. When we passed a big poster advertising the Mrs Brown's Boys movie the guide apologised on behalf of the Irish Martin.
lol, well at least they can be proud of Father Ted.
Basil screaming into the phone is definitely the best bit plus his throwing of the typewriter at the alarm.
Cleese's performance leaves me speechless. It's greatest comedy scene in History of British Comedy.
The woman who says "Are there burglars?" Was one of Jabba The Hutts dancers in Return Of The Jedi.
Yarna D'al' Gargan
Claire Davenport (1933 - 2002)
I remember watching this episode for the first time. I laughed so hard at this scene, I had pain in my sides! 😂
Basil throwing Manual into the fire in the kitchen always cracks me up 😂😂
F,f,f,f fire where? Out there! Simply the best comedy ever made,sheer genius and mayhem. The Germans is my favourite episode,hysterical
.....in the history of the world....has there ever been a funnier 8 minutes....and 10 seconds...
The big lady is Claire Davenport who played Yarna Daal Gargaan in Return of the Jedi
She’s did great acting
Funniest moment in the whole damn series!!!
The Psychiatrist was pretty damn good, too.
A classic, the way they tried to convince Manuel there wasnt a fire, awesome.
My condolances to the family and friends of Andrew Sachs.R.I.P.
I remember when he died, my whole family was in tears.
This is one of the best episodes in Comedy History...Bravo!, and damn and flush those who are offended by it.
The best bit of comedy ever.
John Cleese quoted this as being one of his favourite scenes.
I can understand why Basil sometimes loses it.
People who expect to be irritated and disappointed usually find what they're looking for.
"Thank you god, thank you so bloody much!"
Press 9 on keyboard, for line!
The lady with pink gloves does it , this actress Claire Davenport is in a Pink Panther film too, hilarious
Andrew Sachs was badly burned in the filming of this scene and carried the scars for the rest of his life.
R.I.P. Manuel
Andrew Sachs (Manuel) suffered second degree burns during the fire in this episode.
The Major is making the most sense here it’s that crazy 😂!
Brilliant and hilarious show 😅A manager totally out of control
Have to love Claire Davenport.
2:46 sounds like the alarm sound effect from Fireman Sam 👍
The BBC has now banned this episode because it's racist... I couldn't believe it when I read it.
what ??? seriously?
ppl have all lost their humour.
Race is different from nationality. What the hell?
The bbc banned everything apart from what it should have banned saville
Was that because they don't know the difference between race and nationality? 😂
That's because its comedy..and were not allowed to laugh anymore😢
3:20 Manuel can distinguish between the two completely different sounds... 🔔
I love this show!
It’s the best episode.
The Germans.
@@garyturner5739 Don’t mention the war.
This is hardly "The Germans Clip"! Rather The Fire Drill Clip!
Now (Phone rings) WE'RE HAVING IT!! 😂😂
Perfect comic timing.
RIP Andrew
Fire fire fffffffff fire FIRE where UP THERE FIRE FIRE FIRE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@1:48 This is Claire Davenport (blonde) who played Yarna d'al' Gargan (The 'fat' dancer) in Jabba The Hutts palace in return of the Jedi
my favorite from '75 to '79 in Chicago
R.I.P. Andrew Sachs! :-(
This would never happen with German hotel guests now, everyone would be talking about Eurovision or dance music instead... At least the younger generation would be...
Funniest show ever made!
RIP Manuel
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 miracle basil didn't have a stroke during all Eps! Good rehearsal, etc,yes?
It's not the Germans though. It's the fire drill
I tried to find a full episode for free on TH-cam, but the website didn’t have it, I wonder if I could find a blu-ray DVD of this show online.
I have the full 12 episodes on DVD with extras like the interviews with the cast members and the like.
@@garyturner5739 Hey, it’s alright. Besides, I just saw the first 12 episodes of the series. So, I should be fine. Glen Close is just amazing in this show.
It's a semi tone higher!!!
There is no fire! It´s fire, It´s fire, It´s fire!!!! xDDDDDD
Rip. Manuel
RIp Manul
This BBC is nuts
Is the large German woman August Gloobs mother in Willy Wonka?
And that one can work in a hotel like that?
Different times, I guess. I mean humor and stuff.
Was very funny laugh so much one for my ravers on tv
WE'RE HAVING IT!
xlSw1ftBlad3lx That cracks me up!
1:51 Is that Graham Chapman in the background?
No, but I can see why you'd think that. He is similar looking.
You're right, it does look alot like Graham, but apparently it is Derek Suthern. He was a prolific background character in the seventies, appearing in many episodes of Porridge & Dr Who amongst others. I've never heard him speak though.
Got the box set with toy car in box ten years ago ,irreplaceable ms cdf
How IRONIC that Cleese should turn out to be Basil Fawlty - doing chat shows on GB News with the TORY PARTY- "Basil !!!!!"
Now the beeb has censored it.
“The Germans” clip”? Shouldn’t that be “The fire” clip”?
2:25
A semitone higher!
Bbc gone woke ,bbc go broke ,cancel ur licence now
great but no germans in that clip
YARNA!!
The Germans clip? I think not
Don't mention the German's.
Cooking Oli ?
The fine art of knowing the difference between "The Germans" and "The Fire Drill"....
The fine art of knowing the fire drill scene is a clip from an episode called "The Germans." Hence why the video is called "The Germans clip."
Not often you're right, but you're wrong again. Why would an episode concerning a fire drill be called "The Germans"?
Aramis Caderousse ... because as she said, this is a clip from an episode called The Germans, sorry if it's confusing.
This episode in particular is basically 2 episodes in 1. The first half is about the fire drill, but throughout the first half of the episode they make several mentions of a group of Germans that come in the second half. The fire drill portion gives Basil the concussion that makes him act so inappropriately around the German visitors in the second half.
You're right. My blunder. As a big fan of the show, I should know better, but haven't watched in a while, although I have the boxed set.
Very good German clip..... nothing whatsoever to do with the Germans!
Ja eben
this episode was called „the germans“ so…
EU version
Don't mention BREXIT and the lose of freedom of movement!
You can't say that in Labour Party.

Not a German in sight.
this ain't the German clip
This clip is from the episode called "The Germans". Not the most famous clip from that episode, but still technically correct.
