The concept of the series was to tell a story with a high degree of slapstick, which was repeatedly interrupted by individual sketches. No silliness was left out, no nonsense was too shallow to make the (studio) audience laugh. The trademark of the series was “Der gespielte Witz”, whose classic “Palim Palim - Eine Flasche Pommes, bitte!” became synonymous with Hallervorden's comedy.
