Political correctness has ruined real humour and freedom of speech! They wouldn't allow anyone to make a sitcom like this anymore.... It's heart breaking indeed!!!
You can. It is a farce. Its literally a really good version of a traditional farce. You can see one in nearly any amateur theatre hall any saturday of the sodding year.
@@MrsHyde92 Peep show had an episode where a man killed and ate a dog. Derry Girls had a teenage girl trying to run away with a priest. Allo Allo reruns all the time. Bedroom farces are a staple of British amateur dramatics to this day. What are you even talking about here?
The loss of freedom of speech is a right wing myth. If it weren't like that, do you really think Frankie Boyle would be allowed on national television? Do you really think David Mitchell and Robert Webb would have been able to broadcast episodes of the Peep Show in which a dog was eaten and Nazi uniforms were used? To suggest that the UK doesn't have freedom of speech is absolute weapons grade bollocks. If you get fined or put in prison for speaking your mind, then and only then do you lack freedom of speech. And literally no one in history has ever been offended by Allo Allo. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom to say what you like without being criticised by others.
It brings a new meaning to ‘situation comedy’, doesn’t it? Sometimes I can’t get enough air from all the laughter when watching this series. The situations were always outrageous and far from reality but they were always in good taste and never really became annoying (like so many today’s comedies), partly due to the incredible cast that made the situation believable and partly due to the brilliant writing. It’s really quite amazing what they’ve accomplished and it holds a special place in my heart.
Ok three things: 1. Leclerc's reaction at 2:12 is everything 😂😂😂 2. "These are your matches! They're not my matches!" - PRICELESS 🤣 3. Guy Siner is super cute here ❤️
I agree with everyone else, it doesn't matter how often I see this scene, I always end up hurting from laughing so hard. And it is clear that Gordon Kaye was right there with us, as he was choking back the laughter as well.
This is the one sitcom I watched over and over, countless times over the years and it never gets boring. Those that wrote it, directed it and acted it out in such a masterful way simply are the worlds best pros.
I remember the first time I watched this episode and laughed so much I thought I'd burst my appendix or something. "It was very lonely on the Russian front." Delivered with such finesse.
@@mattswiercz6995 Not necessarily. A series 4 episode states it is in 1941 and the first couple of series didn't have many time skips so it is very possible that it is not long after the Eastern Front opened. What's unlikely is how cold Grüber would have been considering that he must have been part of the initial invasion and the front opened up in summer.
Absolutely right. Other shows have garnered higher praise from around that era, but these performances and consistent writing make this show timeless in a way it really shouldnt be.
Its a simple structure, but the greatness of Allo Allo is in the consistency and the brilliant individual performances. The timing is expertly delivered by people who had been doing it in theatre for years.
Listen very carefully. I shall say this only once. This is one of the greatest shows to ever been on TV. I Just absolutely love British comedy. They’re the darn best. Gordon was a comedic genius.
Gosh, Allo Allo is my absolutely top of the top of the movies! I spent all my childhood watching this comedy. Wow, good memories came back, thank you Robikus ❤️
One of my favourite moments: Rene polishing a glass and Gruber says " Rene, I hear you're from Nancy " Rene:" that's right Lieutenant, my brother and I are BOTH Nancy boys " Killer 🙀🤣🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭👍🇬🇧❤
The before is a dying dinosaur now....It's incredible to think that they can't produce 1 per cent of this quality with all the money they have, which they waste it all on no talent and the pc brigade.
AYBS and AA were both co-written and produced by David Croft. KUA was written by Roy Clarke, who also wrote OAH, and was produced by Harold Snoad, who had been David Croft's assistant. Trevor Bannister appeared in both AYBS and KUA, and I think Gorden Kaye had also appeared in AYBS.
Hence we have Cobra Kai on UA-cam now. Not as extensive as the good old BBC, but at least sticking it to the P.C. generation that get offended by everything.
Absolutely hilarious no matter how many times you watch it. The timing and delivery from them all is masterful.
only the british can do it !
"Is he one of us???"
"No he is one of them!"
"PLEASE DO NOT TELL EVERYBODY!"
Priceless xD
Yes, comedy writing at it's finest!
You're absolutely right! I don't know any other show that lasts and keep me laughing all this years! This is a masterpiece. One of a kind!
I watched these sometimes just to laugh it off
British comedy at it's best. It's a crying shame that we don't get comedies like that any more.

One of the best sitcoms ever. Lloyd and Croft were geniuses with many incredible sitcoms to their credit.
Love love love Allo Allo - Gordon Kaye was the most understated comedy genius - RIP Gordon

Still the best in 2023 🏴👍🇬🇧
I can watch this a million times and still fall to the floor laughing….this a different league of comedy
This and also "Ve ask ze qvestions" are my all-time fav scenes!!!
"Is he one of us?"
"No, he's one of them!" lol
Just in case you missed watching the clip you just watched!
gruber(panicking) please dont tell anybody lmao
@@TheRapGeneral1 Yeah Helga is a very lucky gal. ;)
""Pleaseeee.. dont tell everyone🤣""
'Should I sing another song?'
'NO! We're in enough trouble already'
Gold XD

Guy is the cutest character of them all!

Disguised with a quick bit of overacting.
This is the one sitcom I watched over and over, countless times over the years and it never gets boring. Those that wrote it, directed it and acted it out in such a masterful way simply are the worlds best pros.
This is my all time fav comedy show ever made, it's brilliant 🤣🤣🤣
I remember the first time I watched this episode and laughed so much I thought I'd burst my appendix or something. "It was very lonely on the Russian front." Delivered with such finesse.
A classic!!! You hardly ever seen pure comedy gold like this these days!
"It was very lonely on ze Russian front." lol
That could be interpreted in two ways
please, don't tell everybody!
Lol!
It's 1940. So a year later the Russian front opened.

One of the funniest scenes ever 😂
My most favourite scene, and also (I had to ask when I met him a few years back) one of Guy Siner's personal favourites.
i think the drug in the jug is side busting no matter how many times you see it.
when René says "i have no matches" to Le Clerc...🤣🤣🤣
Perfect comedy writing. Perfect comedy acting. Put those two ingredients together and this is what you get.
Absolutely right. Other shows have garnered higher praise from around that era, but these performances and consistent writing make this show timeless in a way it really shouldnt be.
Damn this was a good show
I don't think we realised just how good this all was, when first we saw it. It was not just funny.. it was inspired!
effyleven When you see the junk that passes for comedy these days, sitcoms from the past like 'Allo Allo' really shine.
Its a simple structure, but the greatness of Allo Allo is in the consistency and the brilliant individual performances. The timing is expertly delivered by people who had been doing it in theatre for years.
I think we took this kind of quality almost for granted. How wrong we were.
One of the best introductions of a character ever!!! ❤ 😂 😂 😂
I used to watch it with my grandpa!!! It's priceless!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Listen very carefully. I shall say this only once. This is one of the greatest shows to ever been on TV. I Just absolutely love British comedy. They’re the darn best. Gordon was a comedic genius.
I agree wonderful time to bring it back so we can all have something to keep us said from crazy
Gosh, Allo Allo is my absolutely top of the top of the movies! I spent all my childhood watching this comedy. Wow, good memories came back, thank you Robikus ❤️
Who else taped these shows on VHS back in the days ! Gold.
VHS? Luxury.
When I were a lad, we 'ad to draw every frame on a piece of used toilet paper.
classic comedy such a shame this stuff is no longer on tv x
Nothing beats Rene's "I have no matches", fully aware of the fact that it both sounds ridiculous and must be said anyway.
Comedy genius ! 😂
One of my favourite moments:
Rene polishing a glass and Gruber says " Rene, I hear you're from Nancy "
Rene:" that's right Lieutenant, my brother and I are BOTH Nancy boys "
Killer 🙀🤣🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭👍🇬🇧❤
Yes, and what made it a killer line is the way Rene realised halfway through saying it what the double entendre was
«He is one of them» 😂🤣
When comedy was funny and clever, not the garbage we suffer today
well said the horse shit of pc has destroyed comedy.
@@nirvanaofmonkasar1107 pc destroyed everything, not just comedy
This and the bicycle scene...Top Shelf Silliness
Pierre is enjoying his new bicycle.
Great show. Really funny how the first episode pretty much set the situation like a Jenga tower, and remained that way for much of the series.
This is sooooooo gooood... and still is every time I see it even after over 15 years..🤣🤣
'let me play a song'
Plays a song from 1967 :-D
Still an amazing series from times before netflix
Ah bless 'em, such fun times watching their brilliance. Bravo
'Allo 'Allo was wonderful and came from a time when the BBC knew how to produce great comedy.
The before is a dying dinosaur now....It's incredible to think that they can't produce 1 per cent of this quality with all the money they have, which they waste it all on no talent and the pc brigade.
Used to watch this as a kid in the 80s but come across this clip by chance, never expected it to be as piss your pants funny as this.........
This scene was so brilliantly constructed and executed
Just gotta love Guy Siner❤
Absolutely a Classic watching it in 2022 Happy new year
That’s so funny, I started crying…😅
"Are you one of them?" "...It was very lonely... on the Russian front".
That’s what I call comedy gold with timing 😂😂😂😂😂😂
used to watch it as a kid in the lae 90s as it used to be telecasted in star plus...miss those days...
Brilliant timings and so simple but effective. Makes my eyes water still.
Off the scale comedy
Laughing so hard I got tears
This deserves an Oscar
The best! I miss them so much.
This is far better than the purile garbage that is trotted out and called entertainment these days.
LoL the brittish are comedic geniouses

Abdul, please try to do an internet just one more time! If you try really hard and believe in yourself you can do it !
We used to be. Now we've been cowed into PC submission.
One of the funniest sitcoms ever
What an excellent clip!
The song being played - La vien en rosé 💛
This show makes my day.😃😃
'Allo 'Allo and "The Two Ronnies", the best of british comedy. I can watch them forever. "Good mouning!" "You stupid woman!". lol.
Zisten very catefully, I shall say zis conly once
Only fools and horses : )
The first time I watched this I almost died laughing
Pure class in a glass!!!
A brilliant sketch well acted . Timing perfect
Sweet dear little Gruber.
Uuuuuuweee ask ze kwestions!
One of the best scenes
My favorite British sitcoms: 'Are You Being Served' 'Allo Allo' 'Open All Hours' 'The Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin' 'Keeping Up Appearances'
AYBS and AA were both co-written and produced by David Croft.
KUA was written by Roy Clarke, who also wrote OAH, and was produced by Harold Snoad, who had been David Croft's assistant.
Trevor Bannister appeared in both AYBS and KUA, and I think Gorden Kaye had also appeared in AYBS.
Should make more.comdies like this. Absolutely great comfy.
Brilliant timing genius
I love the way Renne looks at his writing pad when things go wrong.
Could you imagine approaching BBC light entertainment and say i want to make a comedy about Natzis. Deliberate miss spelt.
Please put the full episodes on !
Ah....my younger days....use to stay up late just to watch Allo Allo ❣️
just priceless!
One of the best sitcoms of all time. Americans and Canadians can certainly take lessons from the English.
Hence we have Cobra Kai on UA-cam now. Not as extensive as the good old BBC, but at least sticking it to the P.C. generation that get offended by everything.
One of the best comedies ever...
The most funny scene in the whole serie
🤣🤣 been laughing for the 100th time
Pure bloody genius !
Brilliant.... simply brilliant.
Sooooo funny-this was one of the best shows along with**Only Fools And Horses**
This must be a very early episode before Gruber and Rene became good friends 😁
Also before Mr Leclerc was in there every week with a different profession.
This was the pilot episode, before Series 1 was commissioned.
It's from the pilot episode.
@@benbelgam It is he, LeClerc.
Gray Sinner, if you are watching this, I find this very hilarious.
SUPERB!!
2:06 Checking if there is a German around
From the days when comedy was funny.
Unforgettable scene !! 😂😂
1:48 iconic moment
Side splitting. Then he will reveal himself lol
One of the funniest scenes ever .
Amazing how they all keep a straight face
I bet it took a few takes
Just made my cry! 🤣🤣🤣
Za Sva Vremena...! C'est Muuu...!
Fantastic comedy, Gruber was easily one of the best characters of all time, but I hated that undercover French officer, got sick of him.
Anybody knows where could this show be available to watch? It used to be on UA-cam years ago, then it disapperaed due to copyrights, I guess..
Ah....allo,allo...the best🎉👍☺🌞🔝🍾👑😊😉🍻
I seriously haven't laughed at much in years.
Never seen this scene before and it’s so good
brilliant
Genius
best, forever!
I can't stop laughing.
