This time much longer than before. Enjoy!

As a special forfeit for the "Germany" XL episode on the G series / Series G anyone who mentioned "The War" got penalised by losing points. Sean Lock was particularly involved in this.
Just in case you are wondering where the catchphrase is taken from it be "Fawlty Towers".

I do not own the rights to the clips.

  • Sean mentioned it once, but I think he got away with it.

  • "Germany does have decent summers doesn't it?"

    "And if it doesn't., it just expands to somewhere where the summer is."

    Oh God, haha!

see all

  • I like how he just gave up and started mentioning the war in every response. :)

  • @Metaldane Did he? Didn't notice. ;)

    

  • Wait a second .. when Alan (is it?) mimics the PM calling the German Chancellor and saying "We won" ... how they know he didn't mean the '66 World Cup? eh? ah ha! ;)

  • Germans do constantly come into Holland though, it's for the beaches, even though weather here blows.

  • @DudeDudi I can't remember the name I have been looking on the netz for him and asked some ppl but I really can not find him :/ was a few years ago

  • @Colp2 Which comedian?

  • 6:25 I'm writing a paper about World War 1 right now and laughed my ass off!

  • "Don't mention the war" got me thinking about when a Swedish comedian went to Japan to do some standup comedy in a documentary about humor in different cultures.

    They gave him a list before of topics he could NOT joke about (including the world war, suicide, etc), but instead he made a joke containing every single thing on the list and then told it a bit into his performance... The entire crowd went completely silent, except for one short, nervous laugh from some guy, then he had to leave lol

  • Rob's laugh after 05:45 is great!
