* CollegeHumor.com's Gunter Granz Steeter Theater sketch
* Subverted in ''[[Blood and Treasure]]''. Most of the Germans we see are Nazis [[Justified Trope|because]] the plot centers around tracking down a [[Ghostapo|mystical MacGuffin]] a party of them stole. On the other hand when they visit the Austrian castle where these Nazis had had their rituals, the curator tells them that everyone wants to [[Unperson|forget about them]] and the castle has been restored to Medieval conditions (the hero and heroine naturally have to find a secret room no one cares about).
**Technically the castle is Austrian if you wish to press a point. But no one implies that there would be a different attitude across the border.
* Subverted in ''[[Hogan's Heroes]]'', which actually takes place in Nazi Germany. Many members of the Underground are Germans, or at least more sympathetic to Hogan's crew than they are to the Nazis and the Gestapo. Schultz doesn't particularly care who wins the war, as long as he doesn't get shot or sent to the Eastern Front, and several of the actual officers are portrayed as sympathetic characters stuck in bad positions.
* ''[[Frasier]]'' ("A Man, a Plan, and a Gal: Julia" episode):
Line 93 ⟶ 95:
** Bit of [[Reality Subtext]] here: Briscoe, [[Actor Shared Background|like Jerry Orbach]], is German Jewish on his father's side (Polish Catholic on his mother's), and is of a generation where this kind of bitterness would be realistic.
* On ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'', both Joel and Mike seemed to make Nazi jokes every single time a German actor appeared.
