Behind the Scenes
- The exterior of the camp is clearly the reused back lot of Universal Studios' Bates Motel set, previously seen in "By the Time We Got to Woodstock".
Allusions and References
- The title is based on the 1953 film Stalag 17.
- One of the Nazi guards says "I hear nothing. I hear nothing!" This is a quote from the character of Schultz from the series Hogan's Heroes, which was also set in a German POW camp.
- The name Chett assumes when he pranks Scampi is Ace Frehley, one of the original members of the rock band KISS.
- The holodeck Lisa constructs is based on the holodeck first used in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Memorable Moments
- Every time the camera cuts to Pommefritte, he is throwing away the cigarette he has in hands in frustration.
Quotes
- (Lisa bows and her cap falls off, revealing her hair)
- Kommandant: Your hair seems to be a bit beyond regulation length. Of course, rank has its privileges, nicht wahr? It is bouncin' and behavin'.
- Lisa: Thank you.
- Kommandant: "Thank you"? Hah! "Thank you"?! Us German guys never say "thank you"! You are a fake German guy! Guards! You are very good, Wisenhiemer, but no disguise can escape these eagle eyeballs of mine. Take this man to the cooler!
