10 Weirdest Cameos In TV Shows That Made No Sense
6. Colonel Klink On Batman
The original '60s Batman TV show was weird.
The acting was goofy, the special effects even more so. Honestly, if somebody said that the whole thing was actually just a prolonged Monty Python sketch, we'd believe them.
Amongst the many surreal moments on the show is this gem featuring another classic TV character from the time.
During the events of It's How You Play The Game, Batman and Robin are scaling the side of a building, as they were one to do. They are interrupted when a man sticks his head out of a nearby window. That man is Werner Klemperer, in character as Colonel Klink from Hogan's Heroes.
Hogan's Heroes was a show about a group of American prisoners of war attempting to escape from a German camp. It was a sitcom, despite the serious premise, but that still doesn't explain why the Colonel turned up in Gotham.
The two banter back and forth, including Klink mentioning how his prisoners keep trying to escape. This, despite the fact that his show was set in World War II and Batman was contemporary...
Furthermore, the Caped Crusader seems to be chummy with Klink. Does that mean Batman is a Nazi? How deep does this go?
