After the Colonel makes Ren promise not to hang out with the Rsistance anymore, Herr Flicks sausage (containing the forgery of the painting of the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies) is kidnapped by the Rsistance, not the usual Rsistance, but the Communist Rsistance. The Colonel and the Captain are anxious that it doesnt come out that they have switched the paintings, and order Ren to come up with the ransom, which Edith gets from Monsieur Alphonse.

The ransom is to be left by Ren and his staff, dressed as German soldiers. But the whole thing is watched by German soldiers dressed as French policemen, the Gestapo dressed as French Rsistance girls, and the Colonel and the Captain dressed as trees. And of course, Lieutenant Gruber stumbles upon the meeting, and his dog cant help but chase the sausage.moreless

  • I probably re-watched "The Nicked Knockwurst" for the fourth time, but it is still as funny as the first time.

    "The Nicked Knockwurst" must be one of my favorite Allo! Allo! episodes.

    It opens with Rene taking a bath, being disturbed by his mother in law who wants to use the 'little girls room', LeClerc, Yvette bringing him 'big jugs', Edith and finally Michelle who falls off the drain pipe.

    I also love the scene with the taylor with Herr Flick ripping off pieces of Helga's new clothes because they are "not good". Even when Helga protests she likes the skirt, he doesn't agree. The hat is fine though.

    Other classic moments: The Communist resistance notifying people of the knicked knockworst by throwing stones at their heads; Crabtree informing Rene that Michelle fell off the 'drainpoop'; The airmen disguised as 'decrepit old bats'; Alfonse with the pepper mill (It's old but still works..)

    And the final scene which shows a 'parade' of one of the dogs with the sausage, Gruber with the remaining dog (shouting "You naughty dog"), the people from the cafe disguised as Germans, the Gestapo disguised as resistance girls and the Germans disguised as trees, complete with photographing owl. How confusing.

    But I guess you have to see it to appreciate it...moreless
