Gentlemen,
let me introduce you to the greatness that is Danger 5.

What is it?
It might be impossible to describe this show but let's give it a try.

To put it shortly: It is australian comedy show about thwarting Hitler's plans for world domination during WW2.
While everything looks like it's the 1960s. And inspired by the Men's adventure pulp magazine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men's_adventure


Here is how other people have described it:

"Think Team America mixed with Thunderbirds and retro film style misogyny, bad dubs and scene cuts abound, this is fantastic."

"Danger 5 is essentially what would happen if Quentin Tarantino turned Austin Powers into a television show."


Here are some of the episode titles for the first season:
"I Danced For Hitler"
"Lizard Soldiers Of The Third Reich"
"Kill-Men Of The Rising Sun"
"Fresh Meat For Hitler's Sex Kitchen"


Where can I watch it?
Both seasons are available on Netflix. (Might depend on your location)

SHOW ME SOMETHING!

I'm a big fan of Archer, so I watched this and didnt care for it.

Then I got really high and watched it again. That did the trick. Then it was hilarious.

I describe it to people as a live action mashup of Archer and Team America: World Police


As always:

















































Kill Hitler


Also, would Blitzkrieg Ilsa

I watched the trailer for this just a couple of days ago after I saw the series floating around on Netflix. It looks just a little too retarded to be funny to me, not sure why.
 
Both seasons are amazing.
 
Why Hitler, why not Stalin?

Because Stalin was one of the allies. He does appear on the show though.

I had the same reaction but decided to give it a go anyway. By the second episode I was hooked.

Season 2 is a bit different in that episodes have continuity between them. And they are set in the 80s.
 
One of the main characters is named Ilsa?


I hope this won't ruin a potential cross-over with Ilsa: She-Wolf of the SS.

Weird I was just thinking about this show. Showed up in my netflix recs so I gave the first episode a try last night.


Couldnt get through it, seemed too stupid to be funny to me. Had the same vibe as a lot of the awful live action shows on adult swim.

For me, it took couple of episodes to get into.

Anyways,
it's Christmas in the 80s and Johnny Hitler is the coolest kid in school
 
Looks' good I'll give it a watch.

In a similar vein is Garth Merenghi's Dark Place - spoof 80's show set in a possessed Hospital. Cult following in the UK but very good if you can get a stream for it - only 6 episodes.

I love Matt Berry. And Richard Ayoade. I’ve actually seen some of these episodes. And while it’s not quite my thing, some of it is really great.
The 80s music video they did was so fucking good.
