Stalag 17/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • All of Shapiro and Animal's antic's, including:
    • A mouse race where their chosen mouse spends half the run chasing his tail.
    • After consuming Sefton's moonshine, Shapiro asks if he's trying to poison them. Sefton brushes Shapiro off saying that the concoction won't make them go blind, which is immediately by Animal screaming, hat over his eyes, that he's gone blind.
    • Shapiro and Animal's trip to the women's bathhouse.
    • Shapiro trying to get Animal out of his depression over Betty Grable by dressing as a woman. It works a little too well, as Animal starts hallucinating and thinks Shapiro is Betty Grable.
  • The indoctrination sequence, where the prisoners all don Hitler mustaches to surprise Schulz; not to mention Marco's thoughts on the matter:

"In the words of Commodant Scherbach, 'Now that the German victory is in sight, all prisoners are to be indoctrinated on the teachings of the Führer', unquote. In my own words: *belch*, unquote."

  • Animal suggesting that instead of filling up the escape tunnel, they plug it up using Scherbach and Schulz instead.
  • The volleyball scene where they manage to get a guard to join in on the game.
  • This exchange at the end, after Sefton's plan to get Dunbar out succeeds...

Duke: What do you know, the crud did it!
Shapiro: I'd like to know what made him do it.
Animal: Maybe he just wanted to steal our wire cutters. You ever think of that?
