At another point, one of the those classic rough/tough/greasy NY cops is berating Klogg, saying, "You may be hot stuff over in Sweden, Klogg, but here
you're just another detective in orthopedic shoes." Of course, this guy's wrong. In my opinion, the best part occurs when two burglars are forcing a safe. They start to hear a loud banging and look around nervously. An announcer announces that, "They can hear him coming, but they can do nothing to stop him!" The men look around at the sound of the announcer's voice, when suddenly a wooden shoe hits the safe right next to them. And they did shout, "KLOGG!"
The above quote comes once again from SCTV. (It doesn't take a genius to figure out what I've been watching lately...) The clip is for some police series featuring some Swedish detective named Klogg. Klogg has come to New York and joined the police department. He's a blond haired, tall, imposing individual who always wears a blue suit and big wooden shoes. He doesn't know how to use a gun, but he's a deadly aim with those shoes. At one point, two toughs are running away, when suddenly Clog runs out after them, yelling, "Stop or I shoe!" He then kicks one of his shoes off at the thugs, and miraculously, it knocks both of them out. With one shoe. It's no miracle, Klogg is just that good. And his shoes are highly deadly. Later, to subdue a thug, he points his shoe at him. It works, too, and small surprise considering how hefty those shoes are. "He's a Swedish police officer on loan to the New York Police"
