Ty Burrell
Nazi commander
You're tuned to the good stuff
The setup
The premise
In this World War II sketch, Nazi soldiers are trying to secure a hotel when their commander becomes fixated on recounting the time he saw Adolf Hitler. The urgent wartime task is repeatedly interrupted by his eagerness to tell the anecdote, frustrating the troops and undercutting the menace of the setting with the commander's oblivious enthusiasm.

But if it keeps you from interrupting my awesome Hitler story, I'll prove it.
