The one that had me laughing the most was when Crabtree accidentally walked in on Michelle while she was changing clothes (I think... it was 20 years ago) and he said "I hope she does not thonk that I'm a Pooping Tim".
Anyone know which episode that was in? I'd like to watch it again.
"I think it was 20 years ago" ??? Huh?? The show you mean??? Yeah, it's 25 years ago the show started. I think my favorite is the classic and simple "Good moaning!" And another one I remember and think is very funny is "I was pissing by the door when I heard two shats!"
shareI love that one! And in series 6 when he was "pissing by the chiteau"!
shareThere is an episode in the 3rd season, I think either the very last one or second to last, where Crabtree goes into the cafe and stands at the bar, with Rene, Edith, and Yvette standing behind it. They are curious as to where the airmen are, and Crabtree proceeds to tell them, in his best French accent, "They have taken spades, and have crapped aloong the tunnel..." As in they are digging their way into the POW camp with spades. I laughed out loud at 'crapped'. Then of course Rene comes back with "Look, can you not get a phrase book and improve your French?" The audience is howling at this point.
hehehehe
Series 8 episode 3 when he brings a bomb for the resistance hidden in his trousers
"I have a clockwork bum..."
Series 8 episode 5 showing his red underwear when trying to get a bull to charge at the barn to release Gruber & Von Strohm:
"Red knockers have been known to attract balls"
series 8 episode 6 when he comes across Monsier Alphonse & Edith having a riverside picnic:
"What a surprise to see you two on the bonk!"

One of mine was Crabtree is in Ediths Mothers Bed
E: What are yopu doing in the bed of my mother.
C: Whwn I was climbing threw the Drainpoop in the prisinor of wor comp. I Slopped and banged my hod, Your Mither allowed me to lay on her Bod So I could get a bit of Wrist.
"Just my way of getting through the day, the samaritans were engagged"
Some more of my favourites, from series 8 & 9
When showing a map to Rene & Edith: "I have a mop. Would you like a leek?"
While on bikes with the resistance waiting for a British plane: "As soon as we hear the earcraft engine, the girls will pdddle. This will make their lumps light up. Can you see my titch? Start piddling when I flash it"
When they think Rene has been killed: "Rone's mamary will live on even though he's pissed away"
"I think it was 20 years ago" ??? Huh?? The show you mean??? Yeah, it's 25 years ago the show started.

Yeah, the 'pissing by the door when I heard two shats' is probably my favourite - that was in the episode with the carnival cabaret where Edith 'shot' the two airmen who were disguised as 'tits', which is one of my favourite episodes. One of the other memorable ones was in, I think, Series 6, when Crabtree's telling the others off for ruining a plan, & said, "You have made me look a right duckhead!" And where he's buying the fish from Herr Flick & Von Smallhausen, & says, "I am half-Itoolian. I was born in Nipples. You know the old saying - 'See Nipples and do." But it did get to a point where just the sight of Crabtree made people laugh - I know it did with me.

I vaguely remember Crabtree saying something like "There was a man pi$$ing by your window".
And Rene replying, "Well, it is France".
Funny, funny stuff.
Pants? No, I don't think so.

I remember one when he said that 'The Pogeon has flewn into the ear!'
Always like that one!
I also love the "I was just pissing by the door when I heard two shats. You are holding a smoking goon, you are clearly the guilty potty!" Also: "We will dongle this keerrot in frunt of the dinkey...that's butter!" And just little things like "Good moaning" and calling René "Ronnie". And there's also a scene where Edith and Monsieur Alphonse are having a picknick, and Crabtree comes over and goes "Ah, a pocknock!". I just love Crabtree!

The funny thing is that the actor apparently is fluent in French.
"Good moaning!"
"I was pissing by the door when I heard two shats"

They blew up Congress!!! HAHAHA!
And it must be really hard to keep that up. I can only imagine how many takes they had to do of this scenes...and all scenes in general... ^^
shareHave you noticed how the audience eventually started laughing by the mere sight of Crabtree? After a certain number of episodes, he had to wait for the laughter to stop befor he could actually start saying his lines?

Where he ses something like "I was just p***ing by the door" That ad be laughing for a while.
shareYes, the one where Hans is accused of murder.
"I was pissing by the door, when I heard two shats. You are holding a smoking goon. You are the guilty potty." Or something like that. That's one of my all-time favorite episodes.

The nice thing is that (although I'm only on Season Six) it doesn't seem like they're giving the entire show over to him. I love Crabtree, but not having him onscreen all the time makes his scenes even more fun. I guess I'm thinking of "Fonzie Syndrome"... where a supporting character becomes so popular they just hand him the show and everyone else has to take a back seat. I hope that doesn't happen here.
There are so many catchphrases on this show... some of them get kind of tedious ("What a mistake-a to make-a") but Crabtree's "Good moaning" is always a hoot. I'd be disappointed if he didn't say it, even though I've heard it dozens of times before.
Actually, they almost always did just one take so it would be fresh to the audience. It was very very rare that they did retakes
sharei like the long distance dick episode! XD
