History Recap / MontyPythonsFlyingCircusS1E12

It's: Suicidal office workers and their indifferent co-workers, the fast-talking talk show "Spectrum", Mr. Hilter giving a speech, policeman that can only hear things at certain pitches, the final round of the Upper Class Twit of the Year ("Upper Class Twit of the Year"), a father questioning his daughter's fiance, and a minister of the Wood Party trying to state his party's platform in a hole in the ground.

* MostDefinitelyNotAVillain: "Mr. Hilter" and his cronies, "Ron Vibbentrop" and "Mr. Bimmler".

* PaperThinDisguise: Exaggerated in the "Hitler in England" episode. Hitler, Himmler and Von Ribbentrop have actually survived and are hiding out in an English bed-and-breakfast. Their disguise is virtually non-existent, limited to partly modifying their names and making lame attempts to sound English; they haven't even changed out of their Nazi garb...yet no one at the rooming house sees them as anything other than a bunch of jolly good old British chaps!

* RenamedTheSame: When UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler hides out in Minehead as Adolf Hilter. His cronies Von Ribbentrop and Heinrich Himmler are similarly renamed Ron Vibbentrop and Heinrich Bimmler. Hilter is the National Bocialist Party candidate in the North Minehead by-election, and plans to set up boncentration bamps if elected.

* ThoseWackyNazis: "Hitler in England"[[note]]It's "HILTER"[[/note]]

* AdolfHitlarious: Adolf Hitler as a bumbling incompetent, hiding out in a small English town and apparently trying to restart the Nazi Party by winning a local by-election.

* PoliceAreUseless: A man (Terry Jones) walks into a police station to report a theft. In order for the waiting officer to properly hear him, he has to speak at an incredibly high octave. It is then passed on to a second officer who can only hear him at an incredibly low octave, and then to a third officer who only understands when people speak really fast. Apparently the entire force is full of officers with these [[AmbiguousDisorder strange quirks]], the three officers calling other officers, one needing to alternate between octaves and another that has the second officer singing into the phone.

Guest Starring: Connie Booth, Maureen Flanagan

* PaperThinDisguise: Taken UpToEleven in the "Hitler in England" episode. Hitler, Himmler and Von Ribbentrop have actually survived and are hiding out in an English bed-and-breakfast. Their disguise is virtually non-existent, limited to partly modifying their names and making lame attempts to sound English; they haven't even changed out of their Nazi garb...yet no one at the rooming house sees them as anything other than a bunch of jolly good old British chaps!

* MotorMouth: The host of "Spectrum" won't shut up until the 16-ton weight in dropped on him.

-->'''Landlady:''' Well it's the North Minehead bye-election. Mr Hilter's standing as the National Bocialist candidate. He's got wonderful plans for Minehead!\\

* RenamedTheSame: When UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler hides out in Minehead as Adolf Hilter. His cronies Von Ribbentrop and Heinrich Himmler are similarly renamed Ron Vibbentrop and Heinrich Bimmler.

--> I in Peterborough, Lincolnshire was given birth to, but stay in Peterborough Lincolnshire house all during war, owing to nasty running sores, and was unable to go in the streets play football or go to Nuremberg. I am retired window cleaner and pacifist, without doing war crimes, and am glad England win World Cup - Bobby Charlton, Martin Peters - and eating lots of chips and fish and hole in the toads, and Dundee cakes on Piccadilly line. Don't you know old chap I was head of Gestapo for ten years. ''(sits down, then quickly stands up)'' Five years! ''(sits down, "Hilter", hits him, stands up again)'' No, no, nein, I was not head of Gestapo at all... I make joke.

It's: Suicidal office workers and their indifferent co-workers, the fast-talking talk show "Spectrum" that accomplishes nothing, Mr. Hilter giving a speech, policeman that can only hear things at certain pitches, the final round of the Upper Class Twit of the Year ("Upper Class Twit of the Year"), a father questions his daughter's fiance, and a minister of the Wood Party tries to state his party's platform in a hole in the ground.

* WindbagPolitician: One person on the street interviewed is a man who claims that "as a Conservative, he likes to drone on and on" until he keels over backwards, foaming at the mouth.
