Added DiffLines:

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: At the end of the episode, Klaus has told enough German fairy tales for Steve, Snot, and the stoner video store clerk to fully appreciate and enjoy ''Das Boot''. Then Steve and Snot start to wonder one last thing: why was everyone fighting in World War II? Klaus just gives up and says that nobody knows.

* ShoutOut: Klaus's subplot has him trying to show the German war film ''Das Boot'' to Steve and Snot.
-->'''Klaus:''' This is the greatest German movie of all time...if you don't count the ''Hindenburg'' footage.
* SuddenlyShouting: Klaus, when Steve and Snot question him at the beginning of the first story.
