When we came across a photo of Inglourious Basterds’ Gedeon Burkhard being spooned by a giant German Shepherd, well, we didn’t really understand it, but we immediately fell in love with it. As a result, Gedeon topped our Hottest Men of Inglourious Basterds list.
Turns out that photo was a publicity shot for a German television show entitled Kommissar Rex, or “Inspector Rex”, whose Wiki page describes the show as follows:
The original series is set in Vienna and focuses on the three-man staff of an office of the Kriminalpolizei - the Austrian Crimial Police – specifically a Mordkommission, or Murder Commission. In addition to the three policemen, the office is staffed by a German Shepherd called Rex who functions variously as a cadaver dog, a sniffer dog (for both contraband and narcotics) and as another pair of eyes and ears for his team.
Hmm… we’re pretty close to sold on it. But frankly, it’s the shows HILARIOUS title sequence that makes us want to saddle up both the dog and K. Rex and ride them off into the technicolor sunset. A credit sequence that features acting so terrible, so over the top German, that we’re basically storming to our local Netflix supplier and demanding they bootleg it any way they know how (as it is currently not available in the US).
Ahead, a fan made tribute to the show set to Bonnie Tyler’s “Hero” that will make you weep hot, salty dog tears into your bowl of kibble, creating the most delicious gravy you’ve ever sampled. This dog is a F**KING GENIUS YOU GUYSSSSS:
