    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

      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.

    '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.

      ​ @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
      @ak5659 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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'.

    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.

    Allo Allo premiered 2 years before I was born and the final episode was first broadcast when I was 8 years old. Such a great show. I have episodes on DVD. My favorite character was captain hans geering, portrayed by Sam Kelly. Though of course all of the main characters were very funny. Rest in peace all the departed cast and crew of this show.

    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 ! Kudos to whoever came up with 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. 😄
