- S06E1, Desperate Doings in the Graveyard
At the chateau, Helga announces general Von Klinkerhoffen. He is dissatisfied with the way the colonel is running the town and lately, he has found out about the strange doings in the graveyard. Therefore, he has arrested Monsieur Alfonse, the undertaker, and intends to let the colonel and the lieutenant interrogate him. After making a few lame attempts, which the general is not satisfied with, lieutenant Gruber manages to get an answer from Monsieur Alfonse about the mounds of earth in the graveyard; the graves are being dug in the summer, when business is "slack", to be prepared for winter, when people will fall of the perch. As the general says he is satisfied with this answer, they let Monsieur Alfonse go. After this, the general urges the colonel and the lieutenant to keep an eye on him, since he is not at all satisfied with the answer and suspects the gravediggers are up to something. - Komedie
"In that case, can I go?" is the most underrated reply in the history of British Comedy xD
Incredibly good acting by Guy Siner. He goes from smooth questioning straight to complete anger, followed by laughing about the interrogation steps and then turning around to the general smiling and realizing it was wrong to do so and getting worried and ashamed. All within 5-6 seconds.
2022 and "We ask the questions" still makes me laugh! Epic series!
The bit where Gruber shows the instructions to Alfonse is so cute, like they are sharing a little joke.
Still cracks me up after so long
hahahahahhaha same!
It’s his face afterwards!! 😂😂😂😂😂 brilliant acting!!
My father was a boy in The Netherlands during the occupation, and most things that referenced ww2 upset him, but this show had him in stitches laughing. English humour at it’s very best!
A national embarrassment .
@@bobgibb2781 On the contrary, British humor is one of the few good reasons British people are admired and envied everywhere in the world.
Superb, humour. Unmatched worldwide
@@bobgibb2781 ..enlighten? WAIT! Are you Dutch or just very young?
@@dallesamllhals9161 Probably neither, just someone that cannot follow a conversation,Ive been thinking about putting together some courses called "how to talk",i think i could make millions in today's world , for example... the correct response to the OPs comment would be " Man thats great!! glad your father made it thru the war and enjoyed show like this" NOT "a national embarrassment"
I never thought of that. It actually DOES make sense to dig graves in the summertime, when the soil is soft. Digging a grave when the ground is frozen solid is a pain.
True. At my mother's burial in February 1986 it had been hard frost for weeks on end. The guy digging the grave had to borrow a jackhammer from somewhere to break the top soil. It was simply hard as concrete.
Even though the burial naturally was a sad occasion, the anekdote later broke out a few smiles, people imagining a sweating employee breaking out a solid sweat in -20 degrees Centigrade, trying to operate a huge pneumatic tool.
I like how von Strohm & Gruber were just lounging around when Helga announced the general.
When he switched “ We ask the questions “ then switch back was brilliant 🤣🤣
We know everything!!
Alfonse : in that case can i go 😂
No, you can not go!
1:58 - best moment ever in the history of mankind :D
Gruber face expressions are Oscar winning :D
I miss the actors so much, I'm 29 and raised with the show...
Absolutely brilliant moment.
Me too!!! 😭 They don't make this kind of humour any more... 😧
@@MrsHyde92 BLAME WOKE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
Yeah, I'm much older and dutch but everyone watched it here on friday night, all the kids and parents too. My brother came to bring me my gymbag once in school and he opened the door saying "Good Moaning" like Crabtree and the kids thought he was the coolest funniest person they'd met for weeks, haha.
The saddest thing about this show was that half The actors passed away The moment The 9th season ended.
For instance The actor who played general von klinkenhofen passed away very quickly The show ended. Why? No idea he seems healthy enough.
"I will bury you swiftly and with style." It takes balls to say something like that to a General of an occupation army.
hahahaha!
"Especially impressive when you consider 'e is half the height of another undertaker with a similar slogan "with dignity and style"
"The Tool Man?"
As partisan I can say nothing takes balls like a land mine.
Certain people are saying it right now.
They were only germans
The brilliant Kenneth Connor here as Monsieur Alfonse. Kenneth was a truly nice man according to everyone who worked with him.
1:56 😂🤣plus the fact Gruber shows Monsieur Alfonse how he's supposed to say it in that matter from the manual Gruber's holding. I could laugh with this until my cheeks start hurting. And I'll keep on saying this: British humour, best in the world bar none. Heil Brittania! 😋
Gruber is my favorite Allo Allo character. I cry laugh every scene he is in
The casting of a straight chap as gay was a masterpiece of casting.
This scene is absolutely brilliant :)
I deeply agree! :)
Here in Portugal Allo Allo was huge in the early 90's, well, even today a lot of people love this show. I have a neighbor and her name is Jade (yes, she has an English name), she's only 20 but she loves the show so much. Thank you for the Upload. Happy 2022.
VEE ASK ZE KVESTIONS!!
XD
One of the greatest British humor gems.
"VE ASK ZE KVESTIONS!!!" and "GO AVAY!!!" are easily my favorite quotes.
i always made a point of donating to my local PBS station (channel thirteen in NYC) in appreciation for all of the British shows they introduced me to back in the eighties and nineties. that was the 'first taste' in what has become an obsession over the years. 'Allo 'Allo is one of my absolute favorite shows of all time (except the last season with the recast Herr Flick), and this scene is the single most perfect bit of writing/acting in comedy history.
The BBC produced some great comedy in the 1980's and 'Allo 'Allo was arguably the best of the lot.
Yeah! in 1985 I remember I use to watch this on a Sunday evening when it was on TV, and try to get my French homework done at the same time before school on Monday, it was all very French in 1985, Simon Le Bon Roger Taylor and Nick Rhodes recorded the 'So Red the Rose' Arcadia album in Paris too, some very happy memory's for me that year, God I miss the 80's
Now - oh now.. It will be probably sued for hate-speech and shut down on episode #1
@Concrete Head I fully agree with you. The 2 Ronnies was a far superior show - ditto for Dick Emery, Benny Hill, etc etc.
Yes - I also loved “You Rang, M’Lord”, Yes Minister and Rumpole of the Bailey. I have all the ‘Allo ‘Allo episodes on DVD
Absolutely correct. Unlike the dreadful gash that the BBC produces today!
Very funny: "we ask the questions!". Great show!
“DO NOT SAY GOOD MORNING!!!” 😂😂
BRIIIIING IM IN HEEEAAAAR.... always cracks me up when Helga shouts out!
1:51 - This scene is just a masterclass of comedy writing and acting. Brilliant, funny as hell and we can play it again and again, thanks to CZcams.
Allo Allo is brilliant even today
Man I loved this show as a boy.
English comedy is just brilliant
I’ve got this entire series on DVD. I still find it hilarious. And clips like this still pop up on my CZcams. And I’ll watch them. It’s timeless.
I watched Allo Allo stage show live in Sydney in the early 90s. "Renee" had a head injury so an Australian actor (Max Gillies) stood in. Otherwise all the cast members were there on stage. The guy playing Herr Flick was quite tall and he was very nimble, doing cartwheel on stage with his long coat on. Quite an interesting experience.
Wow, I watched the stage show in London about two weeks before he had that awful accident.
I love that, Herr Flick doing cartwheels! 😂 That image will stay in my head for a while
Will never have fed up this fantastic series 😀
The algorithm is being weird again. Still, loved this show - I miss the days when comedies were funny.
Allo, allo is priceless, - even after all these years.
Agreed I can honestly say this is the only show that literally has me laughing from start to finish and even when I watch the episodes more than once
Superbly written and extremely funny - not many ‘comedies’ around today that match those criteria
''VE ASK ZE GVESTIONS!'' Gruber showed some teeth and i almost believed it. Still makes you laugh after all these years.
Talent was something different back in a day.
I love this episode. To be completely honest, I love the entire show.
Monsieur Alfonse is such a funny character
Kenneth Connor at his best.
One of the best cutscenes.
'Allo 'Allo was always on the tv.
I remember this from my childhood.
Very clever series and a brilliant cast 👏
Love this scene, but there are so many classic moments throughout the entire series, although series 6 probably is its amazing peak.
Pleaze let this serie sending on every Hospital TV ! I think everyone will quick get better !!
No with stomach problem 😂
Gruber! A class act!
This is the best show ever along with last of the summer wine
General: Are you satisfied with this explanation, Colonel?
Colonel: Definitely not, general!
General: Well, I am...
xD xD I died...
When I served in the army our colonel while issuing some orders used to ask our captain :"Is it all clear to you?" -"Yes, sir!" - "Then now do quite the opposite and everything will be right!"
2:03
The laugh of Gruber
Did he fall out of character? :-)
No, he was just happy he followed the interrogation guidelines and it worked :)
No
There is a series of the outtakes and to be fair, Gruber is guilty of most of the uncontrollable laughter!
@@Hugh_Jurrection whats the series of outtakes called? can I find it anywhere?
Absolutely Brilliant.
general: HH
colonel: HH
luitenant: Klap!
hahaha makes me laugh everytime!
@Certyfikowany Przewracacz Hulajnóg Elektrycznych it is actually the way he explained it when asked what he was saying.
That was typical of captain Hans Geering...
VEE ASK ZE QVESTIONS!
See it says so here in ze book lol
Oscar for this scene :)
Best scene in Allo Allo. Good comedy.
Swiftly and with style! 😂
My late dad always loved it when Monsieur Alfonze said: "I will bury you swiftly and with style." He would burst out laughing everytime😅
This comedy stand alone
Excellent job
What a lot of people didn't realise is it was sending up the tv series Secret Army, not the war or anything to do with it.
"Bring him in here! " :-D
"My ticky tickeeerrr... !"
😂
"I will bury you swiftly and in style" that is if you not stocked for winter kkkkkkkkkkkkk
How can you not laugh at every line? We have to admit that it's hilarious, even for French people. Too bad they won't show it in France. The production of French comedies has nothing comparable to offer these days. Long live England and long live the King.😍
Ohhh Helga!
We know everything...
In that case can I go....hahahaha
Love this scene! :D
"we ask the question" priceless
Kim Hart, I love your Helga.
Kim Hartman...
1:52 Simply legendary comedy moment!
Gruber is the best!!! 😃
There wont be better seria ever
Along with it Ain’t Half Hot Mum two of the funnier WW2 comedies ever made with Dads Army os number one. So a top three!
brilliant!!!
Why don't we make comedies like this anymore, lol :)
I was told the Germans French Italians all enjoyed this show
Who would’ve guess French enjoy being depicted as bald wall eyed fatty, constantly preoccupied with his little business in the war time and yet known as “the bravest man in all France”, while accidentally of course his wife, utterly poor with talent half deaf singer-wannabe is named Édith.
It was unconditionally & universally loved all over Western Europe.
@@Gliese380 The Eastern one as well
They’re all good sports despite their history, old fruit.
Gruber standing behind you is going to make any man nervous.
Not if he'd be in The Blue Oyster Bar. 😉😎😃
😂😂
When I had to go to the headmaster's office back in school...
I swear everyone has a dad or grandpa that watched this
I never know how Allo Allo worked. It' s always the same jokes, i see it thousands of times in the last 40 years almost, i know always whats coming, there are no surprises, nothing. And yet... It's hilarious any single time I watch it. I never get tired of it. Never! Allo allo should have lost his appeal decades ago. But no. Still amazing, still hilarious, a show with the same jokes in every episode!
Agree
I wish this show comes to Netflix love it
It’s on Netflix in the U.S.!!
It's on PRIME
@@nyakinyuan1005 thx
We know everything!
-In that case can I go 😂
Lieutenant Gruber reminds me of Lieutenant Barclay fromStar Trek: TNG.
Just superb comedy! 😂😂
I love `Allo `Allo :)
This show beats back any and all comedy
I love Gruber
Is he one of us?
Same :)
Helga: go avay
Mr. Alfonse: go avay....
lmao
We ask ze questions! ....swiftly and with style!
Genius !
I expect that many Germans in uniform in WWII were just civilians at heart expected to be tough and ruthless, and it is these Germans that Allo Allo portrays. They just didn't have the 'tough, ruthless' in them, even when they tried. And that always makes for great comedy.
"Vat is your favourite month?'
'June General.'
'You lie.'
I wonder what Herr Flick would say if he witnessed this "professional" interrogation. :D
Kíváncsi vagyok mit szólna Herr Flick, ha ezt látná. :D
Helga can interrogate me anytime. 😉😆😅
A little bit more torture, von Schmallhausen...
This show took the p*ss out of the French, the Germans and the British without mercy but everyone loves it. Brilliant comedy!
I laughed so hard with my tears
I was pissing by the door.
I’m half-Austrian so I ask ze qvestions! 🇦🇹😂
1:59 is my favorite moment in while of allo allo
but, how come that general salutes first??? he is a superior officer.
Goodbye the 80s
Gotta see the whole series again. Haven't seen it since the first time it aired on TV.
In that case can i go?
Yes, you may.
No
Magic.
Ve ask the qvestions! - tears
So funny! Happy times
carrvy von interrogating.
My 14 years old nephew described Allo Allo as, and I quote, "boomer humour". Apparently teenagers this days have different sources of entertainment. I get it, it's their life.
