A masterful and rare use of Godwin: Comparing yourself to Hitler to purposely stop all further argument.

I must find this show.

To be fair, it's "awkward" comedy and just last week I saw a guy here on reddit that said he can't watch other people embarrasse themselves without feeling really awkward, too and he was unable to stand the level of "strangers shame" in peep show.

Edit sidenote: We germans invented a word for this phenomenon about 2 years ago: "fremdschämen" (verb).

If you are one of those people this show might not be for you. I personally loved every second of it, great acting and great writing.

I never checked. Are they coming out with new episodes? This is so awesome of a show that I've been spreading it around. British comedy is the best. I also need more IT Crowd to satisfy my hunger.

[–]Butterbumps 4 points5 points ago

Yep, there'll be at least two more series. Series 8 is supposed to be mid next year, I think.

He read one book on the Russian campaign during WWII and ever since he always uses war analogies in every crucial decision making process.

Given his interest in history we can probably assume that he reads history books all the time.

I've never seen the show, but remember this clip with that same actor in it... do they do cut aways like Family Guy or is it a variety show like SNL or something?

[–]JumpinJackHTML5 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, they don't do the cut away thing.

The same two guys also have a variety show.

Also, do yourself a huge favor and watch Peep Show, hilarious.

[–]bitchesLOVEhepC 5 points6 points ago

Arrested Development is my No.2. For years I evangelized about the Bluth family misadventures, but then I randomly downloaded an episode of Peep Show. Two weeks later I'd watched all seven seasons. It's my new favorite, and I've been working to get people to watch it ever since.

You need to read more carefully.

Hitler summoned President Hácha to Berlin and during the early hours of 15 March, informed Hácha of the imminent German invasion. Threatening a Luftwaffe attack on Prague, Hitler persuaded Hácha to order the capitulation of the Czechoslovak army. Hácha suffered a heart attack during the meeting, and had to be kept awake by medical staff, eventually giving in and accepting Hitler's surrender terms. Then on the morning of 15 March, German troops entered Bohemia and Moravia, meeting practically no resistance (the only instance of organized resistance took place in Místek where an infantry company commanded by Karel Pavlík fought invading German troops). The Hungarian invasion of Carpatho-Ukraine encountered resistance but the Hungarian army quickly crushed it. On 16 March, Hitler went to Czechoslovakia and from Prague Castle proclaimed Bohemia and Moravia a German protectorate (Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia).

Just because there was little resistance doesn't mean it wasn't an invasion. Hitler indeed promised not to invade Czechoslovakia if he was given the Sudetenland, and broke that promise, was was his intent from the beginning.

[–]shematic 21 points22 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

And how hard would it have been to change "Czechoslovakia" to "the Soviet Union" in the joke (referring of course to the Molotov–Ribbentrop non-agression Pact of 1939, which Hitler violated by his invasion in June 1941)?

Sheesh.

Because the state of Czechoslovakia was not invited to the conference, Czechs and Slovaks call the Munich Agreement the Munich Betrayal.

puppet government my ass you backstabbing biatch

[–]Vampyr 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

As a former Czechoslovakian (as it no longer exists) This is true, and very irritating subjects to most folks. We were pretty much sold out; the funny thing that is not told often in history was, that the Czech army was no slouch and could have put up a formidable fight, instead Hitler was handed a huge chemical weapons factory and heavy machine factory. Good game...

[–]bski1776 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yep. I was reading Churchill's memoirs on WWI recently and he mentioned how the Czechs had quite a few divisions ready to fight and the Nazis would have had to take a difficult path when invading. Additionally, the Nazi war machine wasn't ramped up yet. Finally, even if the czechs slowed them down, if France and Britain stepped in, it would have been game over.

Chamberlain attempted to appease Hitler by giving him the Sudetenland, and Hitler promised he would not invade the rest of Czechoslovakia. However, Hitler did invade the rest, so yeah actually, Hitler did invade Czechoslovakia.
