Have you ever finished watching a television show and asked yourself how inebriated the studio must have been to produce it, let alone allow it to be aired? I was originally going to write an article about the worst television shows that have ever been aired but after watching this abomination, I stopped and figured that I should warn the world of the truly terrible tastelessness that masquerades itself with the title "Heil Honey I'm Home."
In the off chance that the idea of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun living in an apartment complex next to unbearable Jewish neighbors tickles your fancy, feel free to watch it right here. If you'd rather not, I really can't blame you.
The show starts with the audience applauding the entrance of our main character, none other than the Fuhrer himself. There are quite a few things wrong with that. First off, a laugh track should be able to cheer on the entrance of perhaps the most hated man in existence, much less laugh at his jokes. It's for that reason that I hypothesize that the show was filmed in front of a live hostage audience. If they did, it is perhaps the most historically accurate thing the show did.
It continues with the classic story of how Hitler's invasion of Czechoslovakia got the attention of the rest of Europe. The British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlin, is coming over for dinner in hopes to gain "Pease in our time." One problem; how can Hitler be a good dinner host with his nosy neighbors (and Eva) trying to get involved in his affairs? Are you laughing? Is this not the height of true comedy? Can't you feel the entertainment? Aren't you hoping that by this point I confess and say that this show was something I made up for the fun of it? Well unfortunately, it's very much real. My utmost apologies.
To be honest, if this was a much shorter skit in a sketch comedy or even a show within a show like "Springtime for Hitler," then it could have been actually entertaining. It could've been one of those things that's sheerly entertaining simply because of how bad it is. It's quite obvious that the show was meant to be a spoof of the formulaic aspects of a typical sitcom, only it went a bit too far in its attempted mockery. There's only so many times you can make fun of something before it begins to get old. Not to mention the fact that and Nazi jokes can make a lot of people uncomfortable, and rightly so.
There is one bright side, though: the show first aired in 1990. So, if someone annoys you about how much better television shows were in the '90s, you can whip this one out and make them question whether or not they truly want to be a 90's kid.
