| ||||||||||||
Character Information
|
Colonel Wilhelm Klink is a character from the comedy series Hogan's Heroes, which Homer is a fan of. Klink is a Luftwaffe officer of aristocratic descent, who runs a German prisoner of war camp in the Second World War, with many American prisoners.
History
Homer phones a marriage helpline but, when realising the advisor on the other end is Ned Flanders, is knocked unconscious in the phonebooth. His guardian angel appears to him in the form of Sir Isaac Newton. Homer does not know who Newton was so his guardian angel instead becomes Klink. Klink shows Homer what his life would have been like had he married Mindy Simmons and not Marge, revealing it would be great for each party. Klink tells Homer he is not really Colonel Klink, but just assumed his form so he cannnot confirm if the 'real' Kilnk received any of Homer's letters, nor does he care when Homer tells him that "Hogan had tunnels all over [his] camp." However, when Homer pleads that Klink has "forsaken" him, Klink reappears and seems genuinely upset when Homer tells him "Kinch had a radio in the coffee pot."[1]
In the song "Adults/Kids", Bart told the adults that they run their lives like they're Colonel Klink.[2]
