Philipp Thomsen

Captain Thomsen was a minor character in the movie Das Boot. He was the captain of another submarine who is seen drunk at the beginning. He briefly delivers a speech which hints at anti-Nazi subject matter, leading to concern among some of the crowd.

Captain Thomsen is reportedly the best antic master in the entire navy, although he has yet to actually be seen performing an antic. He also frequents a local bar, where he regularily performs extremely bad stand-up comedy while drunk, often involving routines such as commenting on Otto Günsche's informing skills, insulting the movie Downfall (Der Untergang), and smashing a bottle of champaign for no reason. He also has his own superweapon, the "Bottle of Mass Destruction" (currently the U-Boat Parodies' only answer to the Pencil of Doom), which he has demonstrated on a wide variety of targets including Twilight vampires, Jacob Black, Thomas the Tank Engine, and the Death Star.

Thomsen's position as the "grand master of antics", combined with the fact that he does not frequently interact with the main cast, could be said to make him the U-Boat Parody counterpart to Heinrich Himmler, although his drinking habits are more similar to Wilhelm Burgdorf.
