So many happy menories with Allo Allo. When I was a lad, it was on at 20:00 friday night. So me and my parents started our weekend, with a bunch of sweets and cake in front of the TV and watched the brave french fight the evil germans 😄❤️
When it came out 'Alernative Comedy' Elton\Curtis et al...was in its bombshell infancy....and the fashionable New Wave.......and I for one saw Allo Allo as too BBC 'a la Clement & la Frenais' old skool......so I didn't take notice.....but on reflection that was a bad decision, prejudicial, and snobbish of me......even viewing now you realise how well done and extremely funny it is.....can't be repeated today for so many complex reasons....

This show is a classic. I'm surprised no one ever considered a theatrical adaptation of it. It would certainly be a challenge for any new cast to capture the energy and wit of the original!
I had completely forgotten about this sitcom I am so glad that there is somewhat upon it. It made me laugh through the whole video. You just can't beat the classics
Ye, because too many follow the doctrine of false outrage. I doubt any of those types of people are actually offended but they want to be perceived as fighting a righteous cause so they can give themselves a pat on the back. What happened to the world? You're right, it's all Roobish now : ]
One of my favorite sitcoms, right up there with Father Ted. Too bad the US networks will never make something so good. Sam Kelly as Captain Hans Geering was my favorite.
I first saw this series when I was in my early teenage years and Michelle was the first character I saw that showed a woman taking charge and fighting for what she believed in. I like to think of her as a great role model for all young women. Her plans don't always work out (well lets face it, they never work), but she never loses hope or gives up.
Fantastic. Great fun. Thx a lot. 10:35: They forgot the funniest line in the whole show: (Old woman): "Why are the knobs on my bed flashing?". Rene: "Because where you are going it's pitchblack". He-he.
My children will tell you that their childhood was full of - " listen very carefully- I shall say this only once! " lol. They were the best. Hilarious series..
Crabtree, Lieutenant Hubert Gruber, the pompous Captain Mainwaring, Basil Fawlty, Linda La Hughs, Private Baldrick, General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett
@@dca-Letsplay Well I am a great fan of the two of them. I think one just has to move with the times though as we can get stuck with living in the past.
I feel Arthur Bostrom never got the credits he deserved playing Crabtree... Remembering his lines with that ridiculous accent was pure brilliant acting... if he didn't win an award for it he should have...
I love allo allo I remember going to London to see the live show with this cast it was absolutely hilarious then went again about 2 weeks later one of the best comedy shows ever
This show is a little bit before my time but I remember my farther watching it and always having a good laugh. I also love the show, it would of been wicked to see it live
I saw the live show too, absolutely magnificent. When Arthur Bostrum (the 'French' policeman) first came on stage and uttered the immortal 'good moaning' the roar from the crowd was something else. One of the funniest nights of my life.
I saw it live here in Christchurch New Zealand. 90% of the cast live on stage back in about 1989. A brilliant show of which I can remember parts clearly.
"Edith, if this plan of yours goes wrong, there will not be a wall in Nouvion big enough to shoot us all against." I don't remember in what episode Rene said this line, but it pretty much sums up the entire series. LOL. This show is by far my favorite Brit Com ever. Almost every line is laugh out loud funny.
Today's sitcoms are funny? Name one...just one... didn't think so...they stopped being funny when the PC police showed up and ruined everything for comedy because you could no longer 'offend' anyone or anything....the essence of comedy, making fun of things... we have become too 'sensitive' and lost the ability to laugh with ourselves...
I’m an American that loves shows like “The Office” and “Friends”. I somehow stumbled upon “Allo Allo” highlights and these clips are hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I might have to find a way to way the entire series lol
I love the English policeman who tries to speak French but always cocks it up usually saying rude words. Then when they ask the policeman to talk to the English airmen he speaks in an English accent which all Americans think all English people talk like it’s absolutely brilliant program. And also Gordon Kaye as Renee was absolutely brilliant with all the women in the show fancy the pants off him and want to sleep with him is just another brilliant running joke in the show. And when Renee is kissing the girls and his wife walks in and we get “You stupid woman” line. I spent some time in Germany and Allo Allo is very popular over there, I was surprised to see Germans finding an English show about WW2 and the German occupation of France funny but they do and the Germans I spoke too loved (I can speak German so I didn’t misunderstand what I was being told)
The cows remind me of the scene in "Top Secret". The men were dressed as a cow. They crossed a field with a bull that found the cow attractive . The men in the cow costume walked funny for a week.
i think the writers ripped it off directly, used to happen sometimes in the 80's and 90's as not everyone had seen top secret in Britain. I remember Fred Macauley had a show once that ripped off a joke from the movie Kingpin which had been out for about a year and it was so blatant that i believe whatever writer pitched that was just being lazy
Somebody ask me a question! What do I think about the sitcom Allo Allo. My answer would be! Superb and very funny. My advice don't drink or eat when watching this brilliant sitcom.
At 0:15 the guy who plays this German soldier also played a kaled soldier in the doctor who episode genesis of the daleks the one who said “our battle cry will be total extermination of thals
Clever and funny comedy with a nod to reality, long before the fun police or the "Be Nice" edict. Many comedies have become taboo or arrestable offences, except foul language, mocking the disabled, and anything else deemed fair game by the hypocrites. Allo' Allo' escaped Ofcom censors while "It Aint Half Hot Mum" - which the BBC still sells on DVD - did not. Jimmy Perry once blasted BBC 'Oxbridge graduates' for not acknowledging the 'real world'.
A great concept with somewhat average writing but with moments of brilliance and actors who totally got what they were doing. I loved the “I am teaching her self defense” line from when he got sprung with waitress. Its much more python than seinfeld
Does anyone remember 10-15 years ago a BBC COMEDY about 2 old guys? My husband & I caught it for a few weeks then it was off. One show was a neighbor lady painted portraits of others in the apartment building, but they were so bad when she went to visit one was hung in the bathroom and another was hung in the closet 🤣🇺🇲✌
Loved this series. It took the pee out of EVERYONE - French Germans, Brits . Just wonderful humour
In 2021 still enjoying the humour and the acting. Superb.
Yeah, wow extrodinary....
@@lewp273 Same here. It never gets old

I can watch this over and over and still laugh and laugh. One of the greatest British comedies, ever. Love the humour.
Absolutely loved this series, laughed from start to finish at each episode, having a damn good giggle watching these snippets
Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Been watching on BBC since I was 15 and recently rediscovered it again on RUclips, beautiful piece of comedic acting.
The cleverest comedy ever written and certainly one of the funniest.
When it came out 'Alernative Comedy' Elton\Curtis et al...was in its bombshell infancy....and the fashionable New Wave.......and I for one saw Allo Allo as too BBC 'a la Clement & la Frenais' old skool......so I didn't take notice.....but on reflection that was a bad decision, prejudicial, and snobbish of me......even viewing now you realise how well done and extremely funny it is.....can't be repeated today for so many complex reasons....
The men in the cow costume riding tandem bicycle was hilarious! The French English translation is classic.
You have to realise how fantastic and funny the ensemble cast was in this.....everyone did their bit for fantastic comedy...
I laughed soo much I had a headache afterwards. This takes me back to my childhood.
, Lieutenant Gruber my favorite character, and Rene too, I always watch this series over and over again.
Zhe best Zhing that ever came out of the BBC! Zhis show had everything that a good comedy should have!!
"If this spreads across Europe we've all had it". One of the best lines from the series.
Could you explain it to me? I've heard this a few times but not sure I get it :/
@@TheSirmousavi The General is talking about the "plague" his mother-in-law has "died" from. But the script-writers meant it as the Nazi's spreading across Europe.
@@Andy-ju8bb ah! cheers mate
"Bury her quickly!" 😂
They tried it with Covid.
14:40 When the Lieutenant popped up as a cow that was the best part
This show is a classic. I'm surprised no one ever considered a theatrical adaptation of it. It would certainly be a challenge for any new cast to capture the energy and wit of the original!
There is a theatrical adaptation of it.
It will never be the same without the original cast...
There were some, even with original cast
I didn't know how much I missed that show until I watched clips from here. Those scenes with a decoy cow were priceless.
I had completely forgotten about this sitcom I am so glad that there is somewhat upon it. It made me laugh through the whole video. You just can't beat the classics
Filmed with them all in Norfolk-all genuine lovely crew & actors
Also where all the outdoor scenes of Dad`s Army were filmed.
The greatest British comedy ever. So funny, clever and original. Everything now is rubbish
Are you being served does give this show a run for it's money.
An excellent sitcom, but be sure to watch the Canadian sitcom Corner Gas. It is also very good good!
@@larrydevore6657 : Also "Last of the Summer wine".
This show is good rubbish also..😂
Ye, because too many follow the doctrine of false outrage. I doubt any of those types of people are actually offended but they want to be perceived as fighting a righteous cause so they can give themselves a pat on the back.
What happened to the world?
You're right, it's all Roobish now : ]
Perhaps the best British comedy from the 1980s.
No
@@julianshepherd2038 The second best one. After The "Minister" series.
Perhaps perhaps perhaps
Not spitting image? The young ones? Only fools and horses?
@@tonyryan1574 you have a point about Only Fools.
Ohhh, how I miss '80., best time of all times..., never again., young people can not even imagine how it looks like...,
One of my favorite sitcoms, right up there with Father Ted. Too bad the US networks will never make something so good.
Sam Kelly as Captain Hans Geering was my favorite.
Gosh, I loved this show as a kid. Have to watch it whole again, as an adult
Loved Michelle of the Resistance when I was little. She is still my favourite TV character.
LISTEN CAREFULLY, I SHALL SAY THIS ONLY ONCE - THE GOOD LIFE WAS ALSO A WONDERFULLY FUNNY AND CLEVER COMEDY SERIES TOO
@@mauraoboyle1714 yes it was, but Allo Allo has my favourite character

The gendarme was hilarious his mangled vocabulary was brilliant .
I have disgeesed as poloceman so I am oble to move aboot with complate frodom.
My children will tell you that their childhood was full of - " listen very carefully- I shall say this only once! " lol. They were the best. Hilarious series..
Back when comedy was actually funny. Absolutely hilarious series. Kudos...
All comedies are funny. The British have a monopoly on the humour that I like.
@@kingy002 It is so easy for british, being a joke by birth. 🙃
Timeless iconic.Bring back British comedy
One of the few comedies of the era that I still find funny!
“This is the man that shot me. He fancies me like mad. Perhaps it’s the apron”
Crabtree is probably one of the greatest things classic British comedy ever conceived, especially with how this show plays out
Yes, but his French cod be butter...
Crabtree, Lieutenant Hubert Gruber, the pompous Captain Mainwaring, Basil Fawlty, Linda La Hughs, Private Baldrick, General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett
@@kingy002 I’ll amend my comment to basically anything written by Jimmy Perry and David Croft
@@dca-Letsplay Well I am a great fan of the two of them. I think one just has to move with the times though as we can get stuck with living in the past.
A very good stress reliever. I laugh so hard and I forget all my troubles for a bit.
the series had a significant boost when Officer Crabtree was introduced. a brilliant idea of the writers.
Which series did he first appear in?
@@ajs41 Series 2, E3.
I feel Arthur Bostrom never got the credits he deserved playing Crabtree... Remembering his lines with that ridiculous accent was pure brilliant acting... if he didn't win an award for it he should have...
The joke being that Arthur Bostrom can speak French fluently.
@@richardcormack4232 Exactly..... which is probably why he was the perfect choice for the role and it helped him tremendously to get it right....
I love that accents are languages.
R.I.P. Gorden Kaye.
One of the best comedy programmes which the British are brilliant at.

It was the episode where Edith faked the shooting of the airmen dressed as women.
Brilliant sitcom I love it funny out my dad God rest him we use to watch all up until the sitcom finish up they don't make sitcoms like this no more
Very time I watch this show I remember my dear Uncle Lou Grilo he loved this show ❤
This is the best comedy 🤣 ever. Today's sitcoms are funny but it wil never compare with this. I hope 🙏 that someday somebody is do it again.

Madame Fanny was a pure gem
How did René not crack up during filming 😂
Probably the funniest comedy ever😂
Haven`t seen any of this for donkey`s years, forgot how good it was.
Allo' Allo' is up there with classsics like Fawlty Towers, Are You Being Served, Benny Hill Show, All Black Adder's,etc. Glad I have all on DVD.
Is the coast clear ?
We’re 50 miles from the COAST.😂
That was brilliant
31:27 is probably the best line from Crabtree! 😂😂
Aaah a brilliant series.
I showed allo allo to our French friends and their facial expression didn't change. Needless to say I didn't try to explain the plot. 😇
Never mind. Try it on your German friends instead.
@@morespywareforyou2262 Good idea.
It's amazing how the writers convinced us that there were two different languages being spoken..
The best series ever made.
I’m an American that loves shows like “The Office” and “Friends”. I somehow stumbled upon “Allo Allo” highlights and these clips are hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I might have to find a way to way the entire series lol
You may have to get the Region 2 DVDs.
I loved watching this as a child
I used to watch this with my great grandfather, amazing show. My favourite character is the italian officer and the british policeman 😆

but did the French think it was funny ?
@@johnsmith-ce2tq yes it was funny
This was fantastic..we have nothing like it any more..our British humour is over
Yawn... Someone else who can't praise the past without condemning the present. Zzzzzzz
American comedy as well. I remember movies like See no Evil, Hear No Evil or Naked Gun. The stuff coming out now isn't funny to me at all.
@@TruthWillFreeYou Nothing dates faster than humour. When I look back at the things that used to make me laugh I'm embarrassed.
It’s the political world that we live in now. You can’t be funny anymore without upsetting this one or that one it’s all BOLLOX.

Oh yes...had a huge crush on her as a boy...

21:49 This is so silly but so funny! 😂
I love the show,series i wish i could stream it somewhere
Absolutely brilliant shame about the ad every 5 minutes totally ruined it but RUclips does that to everything ..
TOP Show - best to own physical DVD copies of all the episodes before it gets censored / banned
Great show I watched Allo Allo TIL 10:30 pm yesterday great show

Pardon me for asking, but... Are you one of... them?

Sounds like a memorable night
A great concept with somewhat average writing but with moments of brilliance and actors who totally got what they were doing. I loved the “I am teaching her self defense” line from when he got sprung with waitress. Its much more python than seinfeld
I find it funny that the French, Germans and Italians can speak to one another without problem, while no one understands the English (except Michelle)
O YES!!! ONE OF THE BEST SERIALS!!!!! ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
I laugh myself into a coma!
Very nice serie.......💯💯
Stay positive with Sherpa 😇♥️🐕🤗
Ter Best serry ever 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃👍👍👍👍👍👍

This make me depressed, making me think back to the 80's, as a kid, when this was the best the 1 channel we had would send on Saturday evenings.
32:51 i think i got my first semi there
