Parodied by the sitcom ''Series/AlloAllo'' [[WeirdAlEffect so successfully that the sitcom is more well-known than the original.]] Despite the serious tone and the fact it's played completely straight, if you've seen ''Allo Allo'' you'll probably find it impossible to take seriously. There was also ''Fairly Secret Army'', a pseudo-spinoff of ''Series/TheFallAndRiseOfReginaldPerrin'', which inverted and played with various aspects of the concept.
