- rsynnott 3y agoOh, sure, this _can_ work (particularly as a throwaway joke, as in Bottom - "Any relation?" "Yes!"). However, in the case of the above show, it... didn't. The pilot's available on Youtube, or at least used to be. It is Not Good. Hitler in sitcoms is a bit like brain surgery. When done carefully, judiciously, sparingly, by highly skilled professionals, it can work well, but the haphazard amateur approach is quite undesirable.
