"I see nossink!"

I don't know what it is. Maybe it's some deep-rooted Jewish inclination to laugh at our oppressors and our misfortunes, if only to keep from crying, maybe it's just that complex plots combined with hilarity and banter tends to be my comedic weak spot.

But I managed to find Hogan's Heroes on YouTube and I'm fangirling like a mad thing after a mere four episodes. Anyone capable of managing to hide a tank in a set of prison barracks is made of win, and Sergeant Schulz is adorable to the point that I want to give him hugs and apple turnovers.

So...yeah. Lol nazis.

It does take a lot of the cultural discomfort out of watching it.

I can't even begin to imagine that aspect of it.

For me, at least, it's like a Mel Brooks film. They're so silly and incompetant that you can't do anything but laugh at their antics, and the characters are so far away from the Nazi atrocities that their in-character actions don't reflect on them.

Then again I'm two generations removed from it.

nods. I had an uncle that fought in Europe and he watched the show for that reason -- it made them look foolish and stoopid.

Someone in the YouTube comments said that too.
