Overview of 'Heil Honey, I'm Home'
00:00:37
Speaker
This is Heil Honey, I'm Home, which was a British sitcom that wanted to be but never was. One episode aired, and that's the episode we're talking about. Uh-huh.

Speaker
And it is a sitcom in which Hitler lives next door to a Jewish couple in a I love Lucy type scenario. And he has funny antics with British Chancellor. British Prime Minister. You're not going to invade Poland. Neil Chamberlain. Chamberlain. Yeah, sounds right. It is.
00:01:10
Speaker
um So if everything if everything that we just said is very wackadoo, you're right. It's crazy. It's almost like this show was not meant to succeed. Someone pitched an idea of a Hitler sitcom and they're like, we'll make a season.

Speaker
Let's talk about how, honey, I'm home. I don't know how to digest that. It is mildly undigestible.
Is the Show Uncomfortable or Offensive?
00:02:24
Speaker
yeah it is and it's not as uncomfortable as i thought it would be um i thought we were going to get a lot more anti-semitic jokes i really did i thought we were going to get i don't know a little more cheeky oh hitler's plenty cheeky but the thing is he's a not too naughty little hitler he's a naughty little hitler there's there's not enough comedy for this
00:02:48
Speaker
I don't know. I did like the Chamberlain. he was my Chamberlain was killing it. But the whole first part of this, like the neighbors are trying. They're just not that funny. They're doing a lot of the ah mother-in-law jokes and ah yeah how much of my money did do you spend kind of thing. Yeah, I guess that was the the digging into them being Jewish. Sure, but it didn't dig it didn't dig further, which is good. There were a couple of Hal Hitlers actually thrown out.
00:03:15
Speaker
What? i I want to know why they're in Jersey. It's disarming. Because if you had them so doing this the whole time, it might get a little too real.
00:03:26
Speaker
yeah Okay. You think so? i think so. Maybe. i don't know. Is this the episode? Yeah. All right. We didn't introduce ourselves for the viewers. oh Play the fucking intro.

00:04:56
Speaker
yeah i just kind of threw up a little bit. From the show or just in general? she's She's becoming a garbage pill person. oh god hey there's a garbage pill kid in this show sure is yeah so this just kind of came upon my youtube algorithm one day about a failed 90s dude it's like the only thing this guy looks up is fucking really bad movie stuff and world war ii stuff so let's give him what he wants i dressed the part for today
00:05:29
Speaker
Nice. Indiana Jones slapping the Nazi mask. Yeah. No particular Nazi. Just slapping a Nazi. But yeah, see who wears a suit jacket with jeans and a baseball cap.
00:05:43
Speaker
Yeah. see A day trader. Yeah. Jack told me about this and I get it because I watched it before we recorded this and everything. And now my algorithm is also like, you want to hear about the 90s? So like yeah. Yeah. so I just always want to hear about the 90s. I lived in the 90s. Me looking all this stuff up paid off finally.
00:06:05
Speaker
This episode aired one time. Okay. It's the one episode. They produced eight episodes of the show. That's what's nuts to me. is like There's never been a a leak or just someone dumping it all over something. There are other clips out there. like You can find more clips on YouTube. so i'm like Those episodes are somewhere. They have to But nobody's put them up. There's just clips from the show.
00:06:28
Speaker
But this one's called Peace in Our Time. It aired September 30th, 1990. And was directed by Juliet May and written by Jeff Atkinson.
00:06:39
Speaker
G-E-O-F-F, Jeff. G-E-O-F-F. Joff. Joff. Joff. Yeah, guys. So, fixing my camera, sorry. We can tell.
00:06:53
Speaker
let's Let's talk about this. Also, when's the last time you drank a fucking spotted cow? Oh, that's a memorial. Yeah, that's for Jesse. Okay. my That's my friend Jesse. who All right, good. It's actually an unopened can, isn't it?
00:07:08
Speaker
ah No, that I drank that shit. Jesse wouldn't want me to leave it unopened. I was going to say, dude, if I was drinking a beer for Derek's memorial, or if I had a beer for Derek's memorial, be like, man, he wants me to drink this. Yeah. I want me to tape it to my hands and not be able to take it off until all the way done with this 18 and a half percenter. For Derek!
00:07:25
Speaker
For Derek! The anniversary of his passing is coming up in a couple of days. It is. So glad I brought it up just to, you know, really. And you know what? like I can say rest in pictures. I can say rest in pictures, Jesse. Yes, you can. Because he in two short films that I made.
00:07:39
Speaker
So, yeah, we'll get those digitized. But this, this, ah this is not something I made. ah so think you could do better.
00:07:50
Speaker
yeah. I don't know
Historical Context and Satirical Elements
00:07:53
Speaker
what document they're signing. it' the He calls it peace in our time. Jack, you you were saying that's not the Treaty of Versailles. That's that that's so well, that's what he kind of ignored when he started invading shit like the Treaty of Versailles was to stop World War one. And i think I'm saying that right. It might be it World War i the yeah It was the Great War at the time. It was. Yeah, the Great War. But yeah, that was great war.
00:08:17
Speaker
That was pretty, pretty great, man. I had a good met some good, cool people. Got to get the heroin. That's what ah Hitler broke when he went and attacked Czechoslovakia and then later invaded Poland. And like the reason I think they're portraying Chamberlain like this is because he was fucking fairly weak. Obviously he was trying to avoid war at all costs because he had grown up during WWI. So he didn't want to return there. But what is his name that took over for him? um
00:08:50
Speaker
uh churchill before he was pm was like fucking tony's like this this is you don't know this guy he will not fucking stop you can have him sign all these fucking documents you want he's gonna keep going what is signing a piece of paper gonna do in all honesty well yeah he's just like in this episode he does it just to placate people yeah i mean i think they were giving him stuff too like hey look if you sign this we'll let you keep czechoslovakia but you gotta stop right there naughty little hitler Okay, but you can take that one. Just one more. Okay, he did one more. He did one more. Let me get a piece of paper for him to sign. Says he won't do it again.
00:09:25
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, well, okay. So he's already in the middle of doing that one. So when he's done with that, then then we'll have him sign the paper. I mean, we don't want to stop his momentum. Right? And this, this is good timing for this. So first I want to say this aired the day it aired was the 52nd anniversary of the Munich agreement. So maybe that's what the document he was signing was, ahhu but it's very much reminds me of just a few weeks ago when we had, uh, um, our current president and vice president talking to, Zelensky from Ukraine. And they're just like, well,
00:10:05
Speaker
But Putin, I mean, but it's just but it's just one tiny country, guys. Once you're nice to him, though. Yeah, just be nice to him. It's one tiny country. What could possibly go wrong? But he wants it.
00:10:16
Speaker
And that's exactly like kind of how this this is going. It's like, OK, well, OK, you invaded Czechoslovakia. Naughty boy. and Also, what's the air date of September 30th, 1990? No, sorry. Our episode.
00:10:29
Speaker
Oh, later this month.
00:10:33
Speaker
being March or April. Oh, later. Yeah, this month, April. It's not March anymore. Oh, it's not. Well, because we might we don't release these on Sundays, do we?
00:10:44
Speaker
No. OK, because Hitler's birthday is on 420. Yeah, no. We um do not want to celebrate. Yeah, we do not want to match that up and celebrate that. It's also Easter this year. So sorry. It is. Right. It's like fucking what? You know, what's really funny, though? There was a show that played right after this. ah So this was shown at 930 p.m. So they were real confident in it on a Sunday.
00:11:10
Speaker
ah Right after this was a show called Dad's Army. And during the credits of Dad's Army, the announcer, because they you know they would talk over the credits and stuff, said, unless Arthur Lowe defeats him, or they played this played after Dad's Army, sorry. So during the credits for Dad's Army, it said, unless Arthur defeats defeats him, the man himself will be up in a few minutes and Heil Honey, I'm home.
00:11:35
Speaker
Oh, man. So they have a show about fighting Nazis, followed by a comedy about a Nazi. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's not the hour. The Nazi. The. Welcome to Galaxy's Nazi Hour. He doesn't like staring the spotlight, so he's going to be a little furious.
00:11:53
Speaker
I see what you did there. Oh, because he did Nazi that coming. Oh. But like, so this never aired again because it was, we weren't ready. It was considered in poor taste. Yeah. Uh, this guy, uh, hi, um, pinner, the secretary general of the board of deputies of British Jews described the pilot as in very bad taste adding, uh, we are against any trivialization of the second world war, Hitler or the Holocaust. And this certainly trivializes those things. It's very distasteful and even offensive. Now we just watched it.
00:12:30
Speaker
And I see what he's saying. we're all We're also further removed than 1990. Yeah. yeah is like somebody being offended in 1990 was much closer to the Holocaust in World War II. not in the Holocaust. I going to say, presumably this dude was in the Holocaust or so his parents were. Yeah. Whole different outlook.
00:12:51
Speaker
I remember I got to meet some survivors. They came to my elementary school. Yeah. That's cool. And middle school. But I do know. People think it's fake. Jack said he watched an interview with the creator and I saw some clips and I saw the same thing, I think, because he's like, I wasn't trying to trivialize Hitler or excuse anything. He's like, I was making fun of how much the Axis powers were placating him.
00:13:17
Speaker
Yeah. Which is because that's exactly what's happening here. The whole thing is. is Neville Chamberlain, like, you know, you've been a very naughty little Hitler. Unless you're hiding tanks. No, Neville hiding tanks. would I hide tanks? I live in an apartment. Here, i've I've got a clip for you guys. Here, hold on one second.
00:13:34
Speaker
Well, I was just wondering if you could do me a favor What is it? A girl? You
Comedic Scenes and Fictional Events
00:13:39
Speaker
want me to fix you up? It's just that I feel, that well, well, well, we all feel, that you have been rather a naughty boy. All this Czechoslovakia nonsense, eh? Oh, come Neville. I was just having fun. Oh, yes, yes, yes. I have got here a piece of, where here we are, yes. A document.
00:14:00
Speaker
Peace in our time. Peace and our time. see, this guarantees that you won't be a naughty boy again. so if I sign this, that guarantees i won't invade Europe. Well, no need to sign now. Just think about it, you know. yeah.
00:14:21
Speaker
yeah That pretty much sums up sums up the whole point of the show. Yeah. And as we talked a little bit earlier, it's it's a funny choice to have him. And I think it's a good choice to have him be Jersey, like New Jersey instead of yeah a heavy German.
00:14:39
Speaker
Yeah, Hitler is very New Jersey, and so is ah Arnie, his Jewish neighbor, which we didn't talk about here. Eva Braun. Yeah. I guess Rosa is, too, to a lesser extent. But Arnie and and ah Hitler are really leaning into that, like, yeah Jersey Shore, like, heavy accent. Hey, come along You know what it reminds me of? Like, how a lot of people probably thought this was in poor taste, as well as South Park doing Saddam Hussein.
00:15:07
Speaker
It's the same thing. They're not trying to trivialize it. They're making fun of them like they're, they're you know, no one's sacred. Yeah. Trying to make him look like doofus. I wish we could get Mel Brooks opinion on this if he had one.
00:15:23
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, because he might even say they didn't go far enough. He won. He won a lifetime achievement award a while back or 10, 15 years, maybe. I don't know. And there's a clip of him at this thing. He's up in the balcony. They're presenting him the award, but he's very old, so he's not walking up to the stage. Right. He stands up to accept it.
00:15:42
Speaker
He pulls a little black comb out of his pocket, holds it up to his lip and salutes the entire audience. And God, love you know, like he he's, I think, pretty familiar with, um you know, anti-Semitism. Yeah. yeah Well, obies I'll quote.
00:16:02
Speaker
I'll give you one of my favorite Mel Brooks quotes is, hey, say what you want about Hitler.
00:16:09
Speaker
That's the end of the quote. He just always was like, say whatever the fuck you want about Hitler, dude. That guy is open fucking game. Well, and that's the premise, right, of producers?
00:16:19
Speaker
Yeah. As they're trying to make the springtime for Hitler. hey A Hitler musical. Oh, that's right. I haven't seen that in so long. So I think that's why I want to know, like, Mel Brooks gets some eyes on this, and I would have loved to have heard...
00:16:34
Speaker
His his ah report. Yes. i I would like to hear his his opinion. He'd be like, that's pretty toothless. Yeah. like You know what I would do here to be really funny?
00:16:45
Speaker
I mean, shit. he's got He's got Hitler in blazing saddles played by a Jewish guy. it When they're in the the cafeteria at the end and he's like, he says something about like, oh, I'm playing Hitler. After this, I got to go do the bunker scene. Yeah. I mean, it's like why we love Watiti playing. yeah You know, he's like Jojo Rabbit. Because even Watiti was like, that's the biggest insult to that fucking dude is someone looks like me playing him.
00:17:12
Speaker
Yes, exactly. Yeah. um So this, like i said, this is the only episode that aired, but they did have seven more and I've got some titles here. o ah Some of these, you can tell what the episode is. Some of them are just funny.
00:17:26
Speaker
So the second episode is Hitler moves in. So I'm going to assume he maybe takes over neighbor's apartment. Yeah, invades the a neighboring garage. then We've got Ava's new shelves.
00:17:38
Speaker
ah Ziggy comes to stay. The mom who came to dinner. You think Ziggy would be like Sigmund Freud? Oh, I didn't think about that. I was trying to think of who. I know if that timing matches up.
00:17:52
Speaker
um A close shave for Adolf. So I'm assuming he loses his mustache. Oh no, not that signature look that's never coming back. ah Hitler in the closet. Who had it first, Chaplin or Hitler?
00:18:04
Speaker
A lot of people. It was a World War one I think Hitler had it first because it was a World War I thing to make sure your gas mask sealed up properly. Well, Chaplin was already famous when Hitler rose to power. so I mean, Hitler might have had it, but yeah we didn't know who he was over here. it's called a toothbrush mustache.
00:18:24
Speaker
Because it's the size of the toothbrush. And I'll tell you how I know it's never coming back. michael jordan tried to bring it back if michael jordan cannot bring back that mustache it can't be brought back yeah that's fair saying it now kanye is going to try Probably already is. I don't remember when it was. It was later in his career. He just had a little just little toothbrush mustache. It didn't look right. Not at all.
00:18:52
Speaker
The only actor I saw that did anything else really ah um was the guy that plays Hitler, Neil McCall. But I don't have any of the shows. It was all voice acting, though. okay And a few of them did some more voice acting. So I don't know if they were like, well, we can't show our faces on TV anymore.
00:19:07
Speaker
Or yeah, if they just had good voices like I like the neighbor Gareth. Like he's he's it's not the best writing, but he is doing like good drunk work, by the way, at least.
00:19:21
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, hold on. Here's where we meet Arnie played by Gareth something. Gary, we saw you saw it in the opening credits. yeah Here we go. This is my one of my favorite moments of him. Other people get the slouch on the couch. before i What do I get? I get the Hitlers hollering and shouting. and um eight um So, yeah, the whole premise of this is that Hitler is always late for dinner and he doesn't ever communicate with Eva Braun.
Analyzing Scenes and Humor Techniques
00:19:54
Speaker
Correct. And I do like her comeback to him but when he's like, she's he's saying like, but I'm the Fuhrer. Look at my picture. And she's like, I knew you when you were a house painter. ah When she's right, she's right.
00:20:08
Speaker
Oh, and we do get the titular line right out of the gate. I got a thing for that because you can't not do it. I'm home.
00:20:22
Speaker
She ah she she gives me crazy eyes. Maybe she shouldn't make dinner so early. If he's always late, make it later. yeah God, be a good wife. Time it out better, bitch.
00:20:39
Speaker
all your fault. You have one fucking job. Jesus. I used to get so mad when I, cause I was, I always loved cooking for the roommate cause we had opposite schedules and I would get so mad at myself when I'm like, fuck, I missed time this.
00:20:52
Speaker
Now i oh that'll fucking cold. Yeah, that'll happen all the time. Like, cause I'll make dinner. Well, now Whitney's not working on my days off as much, but when she was, I'd be like, I'm to make dinner. going get all this shit ready. And then like, I get a text like, Hey, I stopped for a beer and I'm like, well, there goes dinner.
00:21:09
Speaker
Yeah. that You're making dinner in the garbage. I mean, mine was also just fucking being so forgetting. It's like so dumb. I forget what time she gets off every day. and I'm like, I thought she was supposed to be off at this time. She's no, no, still no. I'm like, well, there's cold food for you.
00:21:27
Speaker
And who doesn't like really cold, soggy tacos? Oh, no, I didn't. I didn't build them for her. I'm not. I was gonna say the good news is if you did build the taco, she could just dump it into another tortilla. Yeah. I mean, when I make patty tacos, I'll eat that shit cold.
00:21:44
Speaker
I make petty tacos. um We find out a little bit about this is where we get the trivialization of Hitler because he's trying to make up to Eva Braun. And this is another clip I want to play. I'm not going I cut a lot of them. I'm not going to play them all. But this one is just something you have to see to believe. But we also get their nicknames for one another, which is where mine and Whitney's names came from.
00:22:07
Speaker
ah Let's just let's just I had to save this one. Come on, babe. Just relax. Here comes the tickle monster.
00:22:18
Speaker
Hey, do you remember the names we used to call each other when we first started dating? Oh, no. You were Mr. Sausage. But I was your hoochie-coochie girl.
00:22:42
Speaker
He's doing the WB frog. Hello, my Ava. Hello, my honey. Hello, my Ava Braun. You know that was in their bedtime routine. Yeah.
00:22:59
Speaker
yeah He was so medicated. There was no bedtime. You take that fucking pill and you are out. Do you think? OK, so. Jack, you being the the World War Two expert, right? Yeast. Most things related maybe in this chat room, but not when it comes to people that study for a living. Your ions above me.
00:23:22
Speaker
um yeahs i said what I said. I'm on a molecular level here, buddy. um they had They were experimenting, you know, on people and- Absolutely, yeah.
00:23:36
Speaker
They had to have taken his seed, right? Yeah, oh, absolutely. they I guarantee you they were working on ways of cloning him. Yeah. How many of you are really out there?
00:23:48
Speaker
like it's there's no there's no way of knowing because they would have had to have gotten it out before the thing is like the nazis didn't have a big escape plan like they were fighting to the very last you know where if yeah unless you have scientists that went to south america and and america yeah but i'm saying like they would have had to they would have had to have foreseen that coming in my mind i'm not saying it's impossible just he would have He would have been like, we don't need to worry about cloning me.
00:24:17
Speaker
There's no possible way I lose. Right. He's a fucking megalomaniac. He's Moff Tarkin. Yeah, exactly. That's why I used to buy into the fact that he did. I used to buy into the fact that ah there was like the conspiracy theory that he didn't kill himself. But as Derek just pointed out, he's a megalomaniac. Like he he was no way he could lose until the last moment that he could.
00:24:40
Speaker
And you guys are aware of the Jersey Hitlers, right? Yeah, that they ah sterilize themselves. Well, they just made an agreement not to have children. They also sterilize themselves.
00:24:52
Speaker
That's not the story I heard, but either way, you're not having kids. Yeah. I can't wait to listen to the dollop about his brother, Billy. Billy Hitler, such a scamp.
00:25:06
Speaker
Hitler and Arnie go to work together the next morning. big question mark. And I mean, a carpool. They carpool for sure. They could work in the same building.
00:25:18
Speaker
He never gave him gas money. I know you may made sure to say gasoline. Mm hmm. careful saying gas in this. But I think that's the first like kind of Jewish joke we get like that's really because it was kind of mentioned earlier about them with their money. But this time he's like, don't worry, I'll pay.
00:25:38
Speaker
Yeah, well, yeah, because when him and when Arnie and Rosa are arguing and she's like, whatever happened, we used to do this and we used to do that. And he's like, you spent all the money. Hey, that's kind of the closest thing we got. My wife likes to call me after sex, so I put in a car phone.
00:25:54
Speaker
okay um But so Ava Braun and Rosa are hanging out and Hitler told her, do not tell Rosa Goldenstein that Neville Chamberlain's coming over because those who put their nose in everything. Yeah, that's what it was. But if she guesses it. Exactly. so it's like.
00:26:16
Speaker
And so Ava Braun's like, i do like their thing where it's, ah if I was where she starts with, do you think the most powerful man in Europe would like my meatloaf?
00:26:27
Speaker
Oops, trying to like bait her. wasn't supposed to even say that. And the chick leaves like, I don't, I don't care. I'm not playing this game and until it was like, but what if you were to guess? Yeah, let's do that.
00:26:41
Speaker
and i do like That's like an I love Lucy thing. Yeah, it's a thousand percent what it is. They're doing like a charades thing and she's trying to say, i don't know what she's, oh, devil. She's like, sounds like, and she's doing this. And the lady's like, bowl, sitting bowl. Native Americans are coming over. She does not say Native Americans. was going to say, Whitney cleaned it up. Yeah.
00:27:04
Speaker
And Jack had a good point. Cause I just like, was like, okay, I get it. It's a nineties joke or it's a 1990 joke. But he's like the most powerful man in Europe is a Native American. not then Not ever.
00:27:17
Speaker
There was a Native American in Europe at that point. It was against his will. Yes. Or hers. I'm going recall Pocahontas with Mel Gibson voicing that one guy.
00:27:30
Speaker
Straight up documentary raoon and everything, bro. Yeah, that's how life happened. She's saying about the colors of the wind and and all that. And then everybody was happy ever after.
00:27:43
Speaker
ah But I like when she figures it out. She's like, you have to swear you can't tell anybody. He's coming to check up on Adolf. Make sure he ain't hiding any tanks or battleships. Listen, honey, I didn't tell you. You didn't tell me, honey. Swear to it. Swear and promise. May retribution curse my lips. And may all my children not marry somebody in the professional classes.
00:28:04
Speaker
just having a Jewish character. i mean, start using words like stopping at least. ah And I guess that's another like Jewish joke, right?
00:28:17
Speaker
Like, and may my descendants not marry someone in the professional classes. Yeah. yeah So, um, He's a doctor.
00:28:29
Speaker
Oh, and she decides she wants to hook up Neville Chamberlain with ruth this girl, Ruth. Garbage pill kid. I believe Ruth is special.
00:28:40
Speaker
Ruth is something. There's something about Ruth. She is. Oh, God. I love what Chamberlain says. She's a bold little lass, isn't she? She's a bold piece of baggage. A bold piece of baggage. Yeah, not a lass. A little lass. Why is Latchkey Vids always got guys that refer to women as these weird things like baggage and horses?
00:29:01
Speaker
Women used to be like bags, you know, you just fill them up and take them with you and unload and then get a new one. And it was all done. Shoot it in the head and leave it for dead. Oh, hey guys, I don't know what episode it is, but I was getting some stuff ready for future cop rock episodes. And I definitely saw a moment of um the chief and ah the mayor sitting around a campfire while he's wearing a hat and singing her a song.
00:29:29
Speaker
We get it. He's just getting more cowboy. We get it. i Love it. I'm just a little flustered by our kissing and whatnot. i was wondering if I might be so bold as to ask you to go to the promenade.
00:29:41
Speaker
You mean the cotillion? I do not mean the cotillion. I'm going to now get a cardboard cut out of you. Have it come out of my closet I'm going to shoot it until it is dead. i go back bang bang. Then I'm going to get a bull whip, but I'm going to that one off camera in case I hurt myself.
00:29:58
Speaker
Because it's really her bent over and he's just like. ah Too ugly to live. Oh, I also learned that the mayor was um Steve Bochco's wife at the time.
00:30:10
Speaker
Ugly enough to scare kids. Take that bitch. Like they just had an argument one night and he's like, oh yeah. Ugly enough to stop a train. Used to scare horses. What else? Let me see. Here's a quarter. Get a rat to gnaw that mole off your face.
00:30:31
Speaker
That's Uncle Buck, but still. ah So the Golden Steen's coming over for dinner. And in the hallway, you're talking. It's it's ah Rose is telling Arnie yeah about like how she wants to hook up Ruth with Neville Chamberlain. And he's she's like, Ruth is always talking about how nice it would be to go to England. And I like Arnie's line. He's like, so is Hitler. He's not going to marry Neville.
00:30:55
Speaker
Hmm.
00:30:57
Speaker
He's not allowed to by his own standards. Yeah. And of course, Hitler gets mad that they know about this and he like backs her into the kitchen, like abusive husband style. I have a whole clip. I'm just going to play the beginning so you guys can see what I'm talking about. um You told her.
00:31:15
Speaker
I said, don't tell her. But still, Miss Big Mouth told her. Yeah, it's getting a little aggressive there. Yeah. Yeah, it shows how he's very short-tempered, but as long as you stroke his ego, you're good. Well, because she's like, I never told her. She just guessed spontaneously. is Out of the blue. Because she put a glass to the wall and listened.
00:31:38
Speaker
I mean, that's a pretty valid... ah reasoning behind uh what do you call it excuse because they can hear each other without a glass you hear yeah arguing all the time so all you gotta do is like what did he say about chamberlain coming over i don't know i had this cup to my ear so all i heard was wo boom wo wo wo well well chamberlain's coming over oh my we're about to country's not tall enough
00:32:06
Speaker
There's some DNA we should have saved. She's like, she's telling him, she's like, what, do you want it getting out that Adolf Hitler is a bad neighbor and he's rude to his neighbors? And he's like, no, of course I don't.
00:32:18
Speaker
No way. By neighbors, you mean bordering countries. So the plan is to... Get them drunk. So drunk they pass out before Neville Chamberlain shows up. And there's no way that could possibly go wrong. No, that's a perfect plan. I've done it myself.
00:32:34
Speaker
And I love it. He's standing in the kitchen. He's like, i just want to smash their heads together. And he like goes into a hile and they look over and it turns into a wave.
00:32:44
Speaker
It's a good save. They're just going for it, man. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you are. Here's the thing. You are making a fucking Hitler sitcom. Lean into it. Like you can't pussyfoot around it.
00:32:57
Speaker
No pussyfooting allowed. What do they call ah Joseph Goebbels here is like because he calls and he's like, it's goofy. Joey or but he says something. He's like goofy Joe Goebbels. Goofy Goebbels. Well, because first he answers. He's like, yeah, it's Hitler. No, Bob Hitler.
00:33:16
Speaker
idiot goofy goebbels we find out that chamberlain flew in early and goebbels went to pick him up with one of those little cardboard signs that had a name on it misspelled incorrectly well apparently he had troops with him too yeah oh that one i've got just because it's funny go so we'll go one more here you spelt my name wrong anyway But he certainly made up for it, though, with all those blonde chappies in their fancy dress uniforms. Fancy dress? Yeah, I dare you For a moment, they almost had me believing it was for real. Yeah, yeah, they get me like that every time. And the funny what? What the funny what? The funny what? Oh, that slays me.
00:34:02
Speaker
Oh, the funny walk. Yeah. It almost had me believing that they were real. Oh, they get me like that all the time. So, like, i mean, I know a there a fair amount about, you know, World War Two, but like, did they really not know that he had an army?
Political Nuances and Historical References
00:34:17
Speaker
I mean, they were they there were certain numbers you had to keep at and they weren't allowed to be manufacturing what they were manufacturing. They weren't allowed to be having a growing army because you still had to have like, you know, your policing and and in country and whatnot.
00:34:32
Speaker
That's the thing. Our sanctions after World War I hit him so hard that they had nowhere to fucking go. They were kind of backed into a wall. And then the loans that we had given them, we had our Great Depression. And all of a sudden, you got these Americans calling in fucking big loans that they don't have the money for.
00:34:47
Speaker
I'm not saying what he did was right. I'm just saying the German as a people were backed into a fucking corner. And yeah i um first I've heard some about that. That's how he rose to power was because they were so screwed. And he came out and was like,
00:35:01
Speaker
I'll make Germany great again. Yeah. Yeah. ah No relation. No relation. Zero. um I do like when they're playing ah like whatever charades or guess the idiot. I don't know. They're drunk in the living room and Arnie starts doing He's puts a tea cozy. Doily. Who am I? And he's doing this little dance. It's like an Ava's trying to get them out. And she's like, you're a monkey. I guessed it. Now get the fuck out. Yeah. No, no, no. Okay.
00:35:33
Speaker
and ah you're you're Dorothy. Rosa. Yeah. yeah are You're Ruth. Ruth. You're doing Ruth. doing ru He's like, no, i' your mother. I'm not a monkey.
00:35:44
Speaker
My mother's not a monkey. I am a man. Monkey man. oh here it is in my notes. Sorry about that business with goofball Goebbels. That's what he called Goebbels.
00:35:59
Speaker
um Oh, when he first comes in everybody knows Goebbels is such a joker. When you first cut with a Neville Chamberlain comes in and this, this is one again, I'm sorry guys. I try not to be too heavy, but I gotta, I gotta play this too heavy also.
00:36:14
Speaker
I just am. He comes in and Ava asks him, do you feel like a pot of tea? Mr. Chamberlain, how about a pot of tea? All right. Here goes.
00:36:25
Speaker
I'm a little teapot, sure. There's my hand, there's spouse. When I get my teeth hear me shout. Tip me up and pour me out.
00:36:38
Speaker
so remember doing that right he is easily the best part of this show yeah he's what would you what would you say to a little drink hello little drink uh what do you say to a polar bear with three baklavas on his head yeah anything anything balakar balakar balakar yeah it's not bo is that it's the mask that only has the eyes Yeah, terrorist mask kind of thing. We talked about it in some episodes and I kept saying baklava and you're like, that that's a dessert. Oh, yeah.
00:37:15
Speaker
don't remember what that was, do remember that now. Yes. Yes, it was Oh, yeah, because baklava is a delicious dessert that I can't eat anymore. Hmm. Nuts. Sucks.
00:37:29
Speaker
This is when Chamberlain takes him in. We saw the scene earlier about the peace in our time. He's like, you've been a naughty, naughty Hitler. Naughty, naughty little Hitler. More like a shitler.
00:37:41
Speaker
And they come out of the kitchen to Arnie, Rosa, and Ava doing a conga line singing, I came, I saw, I conquered. I came, I saw, I conquered. Oh, I thought it was like, came, I saw, I conga'd.
00:37:57
Speaker
i thought they were I thought they were fucking around. I came. I saw Icon good. And I think they're making fun of Hitler by saying i conquered. But saying I face that I conga, that would make sense. It was we watched this from a YouTube thing. So you decide what's funnier and tell me.
00:38:14
Speaker
But this is when Ruth shows up and Rose is like, oh, go grab go grab the Fjord's butt. So she's like. She literally just reaches out and she's like, grabs it for a second. That was fun.
00:38:25
Speaker
I felt like this was a little bit of Derek here where, hey, Derek, you want to dance? Well, that was fun. Bye. he gives it a good. And then done. He rotates those shoulders like three times. Yeah, he does the Caddyshack gopher.
00:38:42
Speaker
And ah Neville Chamberlain has another great joke. And this will be the last clip I play play until the outro of the show. feel like heard him say that before. It's the clip you peg? No, this is the last one. We'll see.
00:38:52
Speaker
You're a lively little pig, aren't you? want a lock of my hair for your wallet? Oh, well, that seems like a fair swap. A lively little pig. That seems like a fair swap. Like they just dumbed him up.
00:39:08
Speaker
A lively little pig. I'm going to people that now. you' lively You're such a lively little pig. and bought little box ah ah But Arnie goes in to drunkenly get snacks out of the refrigerator, finds the peace accord that Hitler threw in there. and That's where you hide things when you're scared of it is in the freezer. If Joey from Friends taught me anything. Well, you know where I used to keep my really important documents?
00:39:32
Speaker
In the freezer. No. and Do you not know this? Oh, in the oven? Nope. Under the microwave. Like for for whatever reason, i would just, like anytime I was like, oh man, I really wish I knew where that, my my hunting license was under the microwave.
00:39:48
Speaker
you know I don't do it anymore because I don't have a microwave. going to keeping them in the oven is not a great idea. What if you're like, I'm going to preheat this now and you don't open it, right? It's really funny because the whole time I was doing that, I have a filing cabinet in my room that locked and everything. So I finally just started using it. i was like, oh, this is what it's like to be 40. This is adulting. Now, let me file away my receipt for my Thundercad toy so I can write those off on next year's taxes.
00:40:16
Speaker
he Well, like... the The Goldensteins start laughing and they're talking about like, oh Hitler, he's always talking about all those tanks and battleships he's has and all his invasion plans. and necha ah Did you lie to me?
00:40:33
Speaker
hitler lied to me ah ah That would be a first. And he flips out and kicks them out of the house. And it's it's ah it's infuriating to me because I've had your rating. It's infuriating. I've had conversations with people where they think I'm joking. Like, no, I don't like you. I don't know why you're laughing. Like that. Jack's just doing one of his things again. i want you to be out of my face right now. God, he is funny when he gets on these rants. I hope that you die soon.
00:41:03
Speaker
Arnie even says, he's like, look, he's going to do the leg thing. Wait for it. You got to see the whole thing. You're going to love it. ah But like after he flips out on them and he goes over and Ava gives him a look and he's like, maybe he didn't notice.
00:41:17
Speaker
And then in the background, you can see Ruthie just like talking to plants or something. She's just wandering around in the back. They're like, look busy. She's like, got it. Uh-huh. Yeah.
00:41:31
Speaker
But he's wiping your nose on the fucking blinds, dude. To prove that he's not a naughty little Hitler. He signs the peace document because he's like, would a naughty Hitler sign this?
Reflections on Humor and Potential for More Episodes
00:41:42
Speaker
And he goes, am I a nice Fiora what? yeah pan up pamp and i barr wow Where's my hoochie coochie girl? And then Chamberlain is like, well, I'm going to leave for dinner now because I'm not eating your food. Yeah. I don't know what it's made of. don't like gas ovens. Before you go, though, how about it a pair of teeth? I actually have a pair of teeth right here.
00:42:09
Speaker
I would eat dinner here, but I like to wash my hands before I eat. And I'm not sure what your soap's made of. So tasteless. I'm sorry. I'm the one that just said I don't like gas ovens. And both of you just completely ignored me. I didn't even notice. Oh, I heard it I was just trying to be better than this show. Yeah.
00:42:32
Speaker
yeah So Chamberlain takes Ruth out on a date. And then they the Mr. Sausage and the Hoochie Coochie girl snuggle up on the couch. And that's the end of the episode. ah honey, we're home. Hi, honey, we're gone. Yeah, just like that. It was done.
00:42:50
Speaker
um I'm we normally just have like, what do you think? Right? That's what we do on this. Yeah. I can't remember because it's been cop rock for so long. um I can start first if you'd like. Go ahead. I think it was fine, but not enough. I think when you were saying what Mel Brooks would have said about I almost said Mel Gibson. Mel Gibson would have had some different things to say than Mel Brooks about this. He would have been very upset. He would have been upset because it wasn't leading hard enough into it.
00:43:14
Speaker
He would been like, why is it a sitcom? Why isn't it just a funny, funny, awesome story about Hitler? being being a good person anyway why did didn't didn't have enough in the neighbor's apartment yeah he didn't have enough teeth that's the thing with it it didn't it didn't um um gallo humor me enough I don't think so it's it's a it was fun enough to watch once yeah if there was a way to find these other episodes I would give them a watch because I'm me I'm curious to see if somebody were to do something like this
Final Thoughts on Satirical Impact and Reception
00:43:46
Speaker
today. i mean, where enough time has. Well, now we can't because there would be a bunch of people like this is making fun of the president because they think this and that. And like people, no one's going to want to touch it. It's just too polarizing. Yeah. They would get offended. They would get snowflaked.
00:44:01
Speaker
Yeah. In two, to two different sides. You would get spit roasted by snowflakeery. you not wrong you're right snowflake hurry um i'm i i'm glad i saw it um after i found out it existed i had to see it yeah um it was like i said the chamber the dude who played the chamberlain guy saved it for me he was the best part and ruth i liked her a lot which is pretty good Hey, you guys. Okay, I'll go. Hey.
00:44:33
Speaker
I'm going to grab Hitler's butt now. You want a lock up my hair for a wallet? You could take me out ah to dinner at 7. I'm not dating right now, but I'm dating on Thursday. and yeah ah Maybe later we can go for a walk and I can kiss you on the veranda. ah The mouth will be just fine. Thank you. The amigos jokes, not mine. No, but it would work perfectly in this. Yeah, it did. Yeah, i'm going to I agree with you guys. like It was fine. like it was It was something to see.
00:45:05
Speaker
um i'm glad it was a tight 20 minutes. Yeah, very much. I mean, yeah, it was like 24 minutes, I think, total. yeah Very much ah just a 90s sitcom leaning into the 70s sitcom setup. you know Leaning into the nineteen forty s landscape.
00:45:23
Speaker
Yeah. And it's, you know, it's, this is a reason people stopped watching sitcoms because they became this like generic formulaic canned thing, but the formula thing could work.
00:45:34
Speaker
I mean, make it more spoofy. I haven't seen it since it was on the air, but, uh, South park guys did the, that's my Bush. Oh yeah. Which was doing the same idea, but with George W and it was leading into the nineties sitcom thing. and I remember laughing, but I was also like,
00:45:52
Speaker
however old I was when he was elected, 17, you were just a baby shit. Yeah. So, but again, it would just, it wouldn't be enough. It'd be like, look, he did a stupid thing. Not like, look, he committed genocide, right which is hard to make genocide funny.
00:46:07
Speaker
It is. And like you said, they're a little closer. And I think Neville Chamberlain was the best character. And I think it's because it's a British show. So they can lean into making fun of British politicians. Okay. And presumably there's something they know about him that we don't because we're not versed in their political landscape. Okay. Because I don't know how long he was around. I mean, I know you said that. um ah Churchill.
00:46:32
Speaker
Yeah. I was like cigar guy. Churchill took over, but Neville Chamberlain was presumably still You know, it's like here where like you stop being this thing, but you go to be that, you know, I'm not a senator anymore, but now I'm a congressman. Yeah, he probably was still was probably still involved in the parliament, at least. If you had Churchill in this instead of Chamberlain, we're having a whole big new drinking party with those neighbors. Yeah. Churchill was like sauced all the time. Dude, go listen to some of his speeches and he is pickled. He's like, this country's got it. We've got a thing we've got to do. Declare war to fight for ourselves and fight for yourself like it's the last bear in the refrigerator. No, he's saying good things, but he is just pickled while he's doing it. It's awesome. What else were you going to do back then?
00:47:21
Speaker
