Marching Orders: Blackadder Tee – Schnell! Schnell! Kartoffel Kopf!

Channel your inner Captain Blackadder with our irreverent new t-shirt featuring the iconic line “Schnell! Schnell! Kartoffel Kopf!” — perfect for fans of Blackadder Goes Forth and lovers of dry, trench-warfare wit.

In the unforgettable “Corporal Punishment” episode (S4E2), Blackadder feigns a dodgy phone line during a call from Captain Darling. As he impersonates a German officer, he humorously blurts out “Schnell, schnell, Kartoffelkopf!” (“quick, quick, potato head!”), poking fun at wartime miscommunication and his own reluctance to follow orders to go “over the top”  The moment perfectly balances absurdity and satire — a hallmark of the show’s biting commentary on trench life .

Our tee captures that energy with bold typography a subtle nod to the dreaded ringing line from HQ.
