Smith & Jones "Nazi Generals"

[ColonelRoss111]

The music is Wagner but it is not part of Der Ring Des Niebelungen. it is the introduction to act III of Lohengrin.

[Cemanthree]

@TheUkecadet Thanks! Do you also happen to know which part it is?

[TheEvilOfScientology]

I'm left wondering with the same person (using 5 different accounts) has decided to post on this video in the last 6 hours?!

"Good moaning! " - they lack officer Crabtree !!

[muraalia]

@tore28 Crabtree was British pretending to be French, not a Nazi general.

[Cemanthree]

What song is General Gruber listening to?

[TheUkecadet]

@Cemanthree Wagner The Ring

[blakdust3]

GET ME ZEE FUHRER!

[SaintBlade]

It's Michael!

[didostojev]

This is a parody of the nazi's in "'Allo 'allo!", no?

[outlander271]

@DrHeinersSanatorium LIKE NUNCLEFRITZ!

[outlander271]

@DrHeinersSanatorium LOL!

[LadyboyAgogo]

They left out the psychotic one that always says ''we have ways of making you talk ''

[mw3mastah]

1:47 ish Rommel :3

[iamjacobnz]

Lots of biggoted people here whom want to kill an entire groups of people, hmmmmhhmmm and they do this because they claim the other groups wants to kill people, and they are only killing people because.... Yeah right they just hate germans... Simple as that...

[ss3cleric]

pervy and a little bit gay, no suprise he is in an SS uniform then.

[Suedeheadlover]

Notice the record being played has the classic Parlophone logo on it - or Parlophon as it was back then. A British institution born in Germany. Coincidence?

[DarkAngelEU]

how much I loved the spicey Nazi-German women, with their stockings and outfits... the uniforms of the Nazi's were quite impressive too, tbh

[JorvikMatt]

@DarkAngelEU Hugo Boss actually designed many of the uniforms, thats why they are so cool :)

[twooffour]

Hans Landa was the easy-going + cultured and likes women (without the rest, though) + alternately polite and short-tempered :D

And a lot more, obviously.

[MachiavellianHeir]

@twooffour And slightly gay- possibly. Tarantino had him introduce the huge pipe (in the first scene) as a symbol of his sexual insecurity.

[twooffour]

@MachiavellianHeir

Well I'm not sure about the pipe, but there certainly was a "pervy" vibe to the way he looked at the daughters in the opening scene (also they way he made his entrace in that black coat) - I don't think this side of his character was developed further in the film, though :)

[MachiavellianHeir]

@twooffour Agree. I was just thinking about the way in which he has to have a bigger pipe immediately after LaPadite gets out his. Just a thought, which is the point of films.

[LoxagosSkiritidas]

Heil Hitler!

Ja,ja...... XD

[mioplex]

Absolute classic. BTW, Docus 254, you are a tool as Enemy at the Gates was made in 2001 and this was done in the 90s

[squamish4244]

@mioplex He's not a doofus, he was just saying how that guy fitted the stereotype - just like Hans Landa fits in too.

[thatrandomguy53]

pervy general XD

[big10p]

One of the best sketches, ever! If it was done by Python, it would have been declared a classic.

[rplea]

Playing Wagner too!

[ozoneocean]

Ah-ha! I know why Griff couldn't work out what sort of general he was: Because he's a Field Marshal! Doh >_<

[Docus254]

The nazi General Who is Always Being Fitted With a New Uniform appears in Enemy at the Gates.

[Desvena]

I am the nazi General who is outwardly calm but subject to sudden and inexplicable FITS OF TEMPER!!!

[ThePolecatz]

@Desvena thats the Downfall portrayal to a tee.

[Desvena]

nazis arnt gay!

[tore28]

I have always wanted to be a nazi general.... I'm a nazi general and I'm okay.. I work all night and I sleep all day.

[pleasendlost]

Is that Debra Stephenson there?

[aFinnsTheory]

Well, when I was a nazi general....

Oh nevermind

[ChaoticNuke]

ish neil boxTkrux

[RicardosRealm]

Genius sketch.

Love the easy-going Nazi ( if it is actually possible to love a fictional Nazi! ) with the different-coloured-uniform - obviously based on Rommell.

[Campbell1004]

@RicardosRealm I agree and I'm not putting you done but the history buff inside of me is screaming, "Rommel wasn't a Nazi!"

Just had to get you out. But I agree with you.

[RicardosRealm]

@Campbell1004

At ease, Campbell1004. Sorry for my sloppy wording, but I agree that history shows Rommell wasn't a Nazi. He was a humane soldier with great respect for his military foes, and ultimately murdered by Hitler too

[garouHH]

@RicardosRealm ...or von Stauffenberg.

[Bitemis]

@garouHH Wasn't a general.

[BlackOut321123]

@RicardosRealm Rommel was a pretty decent guy as Nazis go (maybe more than that, seeing how he tried to kill Hitler, and was a warrior more than a politician)

[Jagelswerk]

@BlackOut321123: Rommel wasn't actually involved in a plot to kill Hitler, but he did routinely disregard Hitler's orders and was a pretty honourable fellow. I certainly thought of him when I saw the "easy-going general who doesn't need to salute properly." Love that lol

[Verence71]

The "slightly pervy" general reminds me of the character played by Derren Nesbitt in Where Eagles Dare which also starred Anton Diffring, a German actor who made a career out of playing Nazi officers in British war films of the 50s, 60s and 70s

[machtrebel]

@Verence71 true true col. von Hapen

[tricesimo]

The poovy general is basically the guy from Ingluorious Basterds!

[ravneraven]

The best part is that it is true. Any nazi general in any movie ever made fits into one of these roles.

[178thbattlegroup]

@ravneraven i got that; but i still didnt find this all that funny. in fact i didnt laugh, the most i did was crack a half smile.

[ozoneocean]

@178thbattlegroup I'd say you're closest to an SS general then. They're the ones that smirk.

[178thbattlegroup]

@ozoneocean you know what. i take that as a compliment =P

so im an SS general. now im smirking as i throw the jews down the well.

[Snagglepussify]

@ravneraven What an odd statement. If it were not stereotypically true, there would be no sketch.

[fshome]

a liddle bit gouy ... !!
