  • So in the Batman universe, the Axis won WWII?

  • "I'm not the real Col. Klink, I'm just assuming his Form"

  • Love Werner! Always a funny man! :)

  • That is pretty cool, guess this is one "gag" that can't be matched

  • Awesome, I love when they refer to other TV shows.

    Granted, the timeline was a bit off, but I'll suspend my disbelief.

    Still, if I was Batman I'd be a little disturbed that Col. Klink was in town.

  • Werner Klemperer: one of the all time greats!

  • with my monocle? haha

  • WOW!!!!!

    

  • I was lucky to meet Mr.Klemperer in NYC years ago.He was nothing like "Col.Klink"..he was a sweet,kindly,intelligent and caring man..(Crying)I still miss him.

  • jesus christ could batman at least wait a few secondsbefore getting on the rope??looks like he's trying to buttfuck robin

  • Comment removed

  • Of course Klink is awesome, but I sense some writers' block here.

  • Colonel, what ARE you doing here?!?

  • Klink was a Luftwaffe officer. He may not have been a member of the Nazi party.  Big difference.

  • Col Klink is my hero!!

  • HOGAN!

  • Cross merchandising. Very nice.

  • Holy funny Klink!!! 0:44 Kills me! Great!

  • I think when Batman doesn't bother cacthing you it should tell you something.

  • I know nothing!

  • He's not incognito, He's in the expostion hall at the collusium!

  • i know nozzink!!!

  • Fugitive Nazis are even in Gotham City

  • @madahad9 Oh I think by that time Col. Klink had paid for his crimes and was a fully productive member of society, citizen. Batman on the hand, seems to have lost touch with reality. Word is he has migrated to a small town in Rhode Island where he claims to be the mayor.

  • @auntbecky Ya I heard about that I hear some weird crap happens there...

  • Robin blows batman

  • Colonel Klink watched this video 9 times.

  • @bittergunowner12 I'd like you to know klinks actor is dead.

  • @history380 Yes I know Werner Kemperer died in 2000, its a joke.

  • @765tony It's even more of a shame that Bob Crane's murder is still unsolved.

  • It's quite unfortunate the appearance of Col.Kilnk and Lurch (from the Addams Family) prevents the series from being on DVD or Blu-ray nowadays, due to copyright issues.

    Actually, they might be able to work it out, if not for the fact that Batman is underneath Warner Bros. and the TV series is owned by Fox.

  • @syafiqjabar Don't forget that the Batman character is owned by DC Comics as well! Another complication that traps Batman in one of the most tangled copyright issues preventing DVD release.

  • LOL...I got a kick out of this clip. And for all these fools so insulted by a "nazi" being on Batman, Werner Klemperer was not a real Nazi during WWII. And he and John Banner (Schultz) were actually much funnier than Hogan and his men, although I always found Larry Hovis (Carter) really funny too.

  • The casualness of this conversation is absolutely hilarious, You don't get stuff like this in modern tv.

  • BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Hogans Hero's and Batman combined? EPIC WIN!!! XD

  • Wait...the war's been over for 20 years at this point. Klink should be retired and living in a nice summer house in the foothills of the German Alps.

  • @Gunganfan Actually, he and Hogan made friends after the war and went into business in Gotham City. They became real estate moguls. And Klink was known for liking to get back into his Luftwaffe uniform while walking around the skyscrapers he and Hogan owned.

  • Klink was a Luftwaffe officer (German Air Force) and most of them, along most of the regular Wehrmacht (German Army) officers, never committed war crimes. That was mainly the purview of the Gestapo, SS, and members of the German High Command.

  • @IlliniDave68 Klink was never shown to commit war crimes on Hogan's Heroes anyway. War crimes were implied with Gestapo officers like Hochstetter. When they showed up there were insinuations and even threats of torture - and on occasion it was against Hogan himself.

  • @Goodiesfanful  Oh, I know sir.

  • Why didn't Batman stop whatever he was doing and arrest a Nazi War criminal?

  • Too much war. :^/

  • It is rather odd that Werner Klemperer appeared in character as Colonel Klink when Batman aired on ABC and Hogan's Heroes was on CBS.

  • What cracks me up was that ABC (Batman's station) was giving props to a character from a CBS TV show. LOL. Those indeed were the days.

  • Batman's on speaking terms with the Nazi's?! Even an incompetent one like Klink?

  • @thevampirefrog06 he wasn't actually a nazi...he was a colonel in the Luftwaffe (the air force). There's a difference :)

  • @TheLastCurlbender Yeah, I know. It's just that this whole conversation is just so surreal that he might as well be one.

  • @thevampirefrog06 lol I know right? XD Why the heck is he in this anyways!?!? Shameless hidden advertising??? XD

  • @TheLastCurlbender Not when it comes to the fact that both Klink and Helstrom will probably be killed in a firefight when the Allies reach their camp's position or tried for war crimes and executed after the war is over and the Reich falls.

  • @Gunganfan lol right XD

  • camp city... the window cameo celebs were reaching over their heads i'm sure  "Hogannnn"

  • Colonel Klink is the man

  • Comment removed

  • The Whole thing makes more sense when tilted 90 degrees to the left.

  • The Colonel did'nt have his sidekick with him.

  • LOL!!!!

  • You Know , at the time I never thought about just how odd , some of these widow cameo's were.

    But some are down right surreal .

  • WOW! I've NEVER seen THAT one before!

  • shit i didnt know batman and robin knew colonel klink wow

  • "Batman and Robin exchange pleasantries with a Nazi from World War II from a rival network" - sadly classic tv like this is not made any more, lol

  • ok that just looks way to odd with batman and robin in that position

  • walking level

  • RIP Werner Klemperer

  • @saanzacs and john banner aka johann banner rip

  • Wasn't Batman on ABC and Hogan Hero's on CBS? 

  • @Hob151219 Yes but it was a great promotion.

  • @Hob151219 Yes. And its because of THIS and other things that this series is NOT officially on DVD yet. Legal issues. A lotta legal issues.

  • Wasn't Hogan Hero's on CBS?

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE this clip

  • Holy crossover Batman! Hogan and Klink would be 20 years older in the 1960s.

  • @zenzmurfy well thats when hogans heroes was taped

  • @cheeseshoes I meant the 1940's was only "20 years ago" back in the 1960s. We're about 2x away from Star Trek original air date than Star Trek was away from World War 2.

  • @zenzmurfy well yes thats obvious but you talked as if you were dumb enough to think that HH was real (I knew you weren't) or you didn't know the taping date. its just the way my brain processes text. some times i read too much into it or not enough.

  • @cheeseshoes I know I am stating the obvious, but it is so easy to think WW2 was ancient history(especially if you are young), but in the 1960's, it was only 20 years ago. I am in my forties and it didn't dawn on me until that clip that all that stuff I watched as a kid was only 20 years away from WW2. To contrast this, 20 years ago from the present, is 1991. The 1990's was the far future in the shows I watched as a kid and we're 20 years after that.

  • @cheeseshoes And also that Klink was in character for this cameo. The very idea of Klink and Hogan in 1960's had never crossed my mind.

  • Hello Colonel! LOL

  • LOL!

  • News Flash from the New York Post: Batman busts Col. Klink. Holy nazi war criminal Batam, Batam captures Col. Klink. While on mission to capture the Joker but got away due to interferance of the Col. Mad at this batman hunted him down with in few minutes after some POW BUFF on the Nazi Col. Klink has been wanted for war crimes including the excution of one of Hogan heros escapeese. Why was Klink in Gotham City? Rumours has he was meeting up with the Joker.

  • These type of cameo's were common on Batman; merely a cross-promotion for other ABC shows such as Addams Family and in this case Hogan's Heroes

  • Seriously...FML, what in the name of God would a Nazi internment camp commander be doing in Gotham in the 60s EXCEPT evading war crimes courts and extradition!

  • @BrooklynJackBlue It's because the U.S. government made Col. Klink one of the top minds at NASA!

  • Comment removed

  • @DoctorPretorious616 "Schultz, how would you like a one way trip to the MOON!?"

  • @BrooklynJackBlue LOL, good one. :D

  • They blew it. He should have said he was in town for a reunion. "Und guess what, Batman? They had their own version of your Batcave right under MEIN camp! Und Schultz knew about i! Ooooh! No vunder we lost!"

  • okay - this makes zero sense. What would be more entertaining is the writer's bull session when they pitched this scene. nothing follows any logic. I'm not even gonna start... so 20 years after the war and B & R are chummy with nazis sneaking around the USA ...they ask about hogan..what do they think, Klink and him are buddies - Hogan was a soldier and would have knived Klink at first site out of the prison camp..Batman should have done the same. all of a sudden Batman's a dumbass? wha?

  • @80sVideoLord stp[ being such a critic, the moment you clicked on the link you know you cant expect something true.

  • @80sVideoLord Haha, as much as I can't beliefe you actually take this seriously I also can't believe you think Hogan would ever knife Klink. He wasn't some murderous concentration camp-boss but a bumbling POW-camp commander, and when did you ever get the impression during Hogan's Heroes that either of those two guys were ever willing to kill each other? lol

  • haha batman sounds like adam west.

  • @skad4 uhhh... that's because it IS Adam West!

  • @ShortRound51 really!? or just joking. seriously.

  • @skad4 No, seriously. It's Adam West

  • This is so random, but that's what makes it funny.

  • Inexplicable. Seriously, what the hell is Klink doing there? Did he go insane after the war and become trapped in stalag 13 by his own mind?

  • does anyone else notice that batman and robin are always climbing up the side of the same exact building everytime they are going after a criminal..i mean look at any episode where they are climbing a building,its the same building everytime...and as far as people always popping thier heads out to talk to them it almost like they are sitting by then window just waiting for batman and robin to show up

  • @cobra42029 Oh, you noticed that too? 

  • @cobra42029  you should be working for the FBI

  • @cobra42029 That's because all of the villains in Gotham City live in the same building....LOL. I remember reading somewhere that Egghead became eggggstremely upset at all of the ticking constantly coming out of Clock King's apartment. And Mad Hatter and Mr. Freeze were constantly at odds about the temperature in the apartment building's hallways.

  • doesnt batman and robin ever get annoyed anytime someone stops to talk to them while they are climbing the side of a building,im amazed batman and robin can hold themselves on the building like that while they are talking

  • @cobra42029 If they are annoyed, they don't show it - they're too polite for that!

  • It's hard to imagine Klink or Schultz for that matter as being bad guys. They're kind of like that little Japanese guy on McHale's Navy. They might be on the wrong team, but they're still kind of likeable.

  • Ha, ha, ha, funny!

  • HOGUN!

  • Warning a Nazi to be careful not to get picked up by the Commissioner. This would be a great segment to use on a commercial against those who oppose the illegal immigration law (LOL)

  • Klink finally wised up to Hogan's tricks then?

  • I love the in-joke!

  • anyone can tell me what show is this

  • @rodassuper

    It's "Batman" from 1966.

    Colonel Klink was from "Hogan's Heroes", another TV show from the same era.

  • Wow the 60's were rockin'

  • Holy anachronisms, Batman!!!

  • HOGAAAAN!!!!

    hehe, God I love Hogan's Heroes, Schultz and Klink are awesome as the germans in it.

  • Incredible -- they would try anything on that show. Even cross-promoting another network's product?! Weren't the Network Standards people doing their jobs? Or by this time, with Batman a huge hit, were is producers really untouchable from a creative/script-approval perspective? My final guess is that all concerned, on both sides of the camera, were too high to notice...

  • A Jew Nazi. Go figure.

  • @bsmack66 Several of the stars of Hogans Heros were Jewish; Robert Clary, Leon Askin, Richard Dawson, Werner Klemperer, Dave Morick, Noam Pitlik, not to mention the directors, producers, writers, and several guest stars. I think the irony was intended.

  • @dallaskenn forgot John Banner and Howard Caine

  • Meh...who cares about world history accuracy in a show like this? As with Lurch and the Hornet & Kato, It was the in-joke of its time. Here is a classic example of characters and actors on the 60's US TV market, sharing their success by making crossover appearances on each other's shows. And BATMAN being a campy melodrama in its day, WHO CARES? It was good for a laugh. If anything, it's true to TV history.

  • great cameo <3 Hogans Heroes

  • This is just good comedy! "Colonel, what are you doing here in Gotham City?" "Well, say hello to Colonel Hogan for us." That's just good stuff. I wonder if I caught all this stuff when I was a little boy! Thanks for posting. Werner Klemperer was a good actor!

  • @Beautifulmusiclistnr :May Col.Klink was looking for the Joker so Klink and Joker take over Gotham

  • LOL thats funny

  • That's just...timeless.

  • h-o-g-a-n..... I know nothing, nothing!!!

  • lol lol

  • So there was a time portal linking 1940's Nazi Germany with 1960's Gotham City? .....uh.....

  • That was f****funny!

  • yeah, this isn't gay at ALL

  • That was the best thing I've ever seen.

  • shouldn't batman arrest on sight, lol?!

  • It's funny. With all the known criminals out there. And Batman let's a known Nazi escape. Even makes small talk with him.

  • I never knew that Col. Klink ever appeared on Batman. This is really funny, thanks for posting!

  • This is real. whats funny is klink hasn't aged a bit in 20 years from the 40s to the 60s lol. this ties to of my faverute things together... only if hogan were to team up with batman and trick schultz in to telling hogan and batman where hitler and joker are. mean while Klink thinks he is on the set of a t.v sitcom from stalag 13.

  • holy klink batman

  • Wow, is this real, or did someone put it together? Would never expect Klink to be on Batman.

  • @FreiherrvonTersch : Do you realize how hard / nearly impossible it would be to fake this?!

  • you kidding!?!?!?

    yeah, you gotta be kidding.

    OFCOURSE it's real... as real as a TV show can be.

  • @sweiland75 The actor (Warner Klemperer) playing Klink was a Jew born in Germany, who escaped Hitler's Germany and emigrated to this country! Why don't YOU make an attempt at some intelligence?

  • How could Klink, who was under contract to CBS, do a spot on Batman on ABC? Met Werner and Adam West the same day at a con in Chicago in 1991. Werner was a wonderful guy. Adam West was his usual sweet, kind, humble self.. hahaha.

    He actually came out on to a stage and wouldn't let anyone take pics. It was like ha had secret service all around.

  • A friendly association-gag between the two networks, I suppose.

  • Great Colonel Klink!!

  • you never know where you might find one!

  • So they just let a known war criminal escape? I know it's for fun but really.

  • well i would expect such things at simpsons^^

  • Werner Klemperer ist ein geborener deutscher

  • Batman is somewhat attached to Robin when he climbs the wall

  • terrible.

  • rofl!i never thought they would make hogan go batman & klink in window brilliant!

  • What the hell? I don't remember this. Odd.

  • this is hilarious

  • Love this 1.

  • Classic TV

  • So...Batman is giving helpful advise to a Nazi war criminal in hiding within the United States? Hey, at least now we know what Klink did after the war...

  • Werner Klemperer was actually Jewish & he & his family were refugees from Nazi Germany, if memory serves me correctly.

    I guess the portrayal of an incompetent Nazi colonel was his way of getting some small revenge.

  • @knoxvilleguy2 Yes, you are correct. Interesting sidenote: during WW II Klemperer served as a U.S. Marine. Semper Fi, Colonel Klink!

  • @mbabist01

    A Marine ?

    THAT I didn't know.

    Semper Fi, indeed !!

    / Had 1 uncle in the Corps myself.

    // Other relatives were Navy.

  • Actually he joined the US Army and while stationed in Hawaii joined the Special services unit entertaining the troops throughout the Pacific.

  • I know nothing!!!!! heheheheh

  • WAT!!!???

  • W-E-I-R-D!!!!

  • Ha ha! loved it. Looked liked Batman struggled with his lines a little.

  • Made

    my

    day.

  • Holy Hysterical Hero History Batman!

  • Holy Hysterical Hero Hijinks Batman!

  • Humourous, yet excruciating!

  • very true... =(

  • WHAHAHAHA! INGENIOUS!!

  • haha those wacky Nazis!

  • I honestly thought that this was just a rlly well-done fake, but when I haerd them refer to each other by name, I thought "this is awesome"

  • Batman is a Nazi?

  • This is just so ambigously gay at the beginning.

  • Hmmm...strange. Burt Ward sure was thin back then. Bumped into him in an elevator in downtown Riverside, CA a few years back. He lives in nearby Norco, CA and breeds dogs...probably can't stand Michael Vick!

  • Wow- that was weird.

  • Batmannnnnnnnnnnnn
