The Germans

I am watching "The Germans" episode of Fawlty Towers. I am pretty sure it is the funniest single episode of a TV show ever. I laugh every time I see it. I am pretty sure you couldn't make a show like that now.

What could be funnier than Germans?

DON'T MENTION THE WAR!!!

My God, you're ugly, aren't you?

I'll... I'll get the doctor.

It's a plastic surgeon you need, dear, not a doctor.

"Wait, what about between 1939 and 1945, you know, World War 2?"

thick german accent "We were on vacation, nothing happened then!"

Ve didn't start it!

Yes you did! You invaded Poland!

"I mentioned the war, once. I think I got away with it though."

How ever did they win?

que?

Netflix keeps insisting I want to watch this. This thread just put the nail in that coffin.

I like the hotel inspector one. Its my favourite. Manuel has a pet rat that gets loose in the hotel when the hotel inspector is coming. The name of the rat is one of the best parts.

I also cant help but picture Manuel flapping his arms and oinking. Classic

And since this is a car related web board.

Turkish: berkeley me, hold tight. What's that?
Tommy: It's me belt, Turkish.
Turkish: No, Tommy. There's a gun in your trousers. What's a gun doing in your trousers?
Tommy: It's for protection.
Turkish: Protection from what? "Zee Germans"?

Haha, how did I miss this thread? Definitely one of my favourite shows. "The Builders" and "The Psychiatrist" are also particularly good eps.
