KAOS - Evil organization bent on world wide domination on the spy comedy GET SMART/NBC/1965-70. KAOS agent Omar Shurok described his employers as "the international organization of evil formed in 1904 in Bucharest, designed to foment unrest and revolution throughout the world." Agent Maxwell Smart, a spy from the good-guys at CONTROL, claimed KAOS was founded in 1957 as "a monstrous organization of evil dedicated to the destruction of the Free World and the systematic subjugation of every man, woman, and child on this planet." Some alternate meaning for KAOS (as suggested by The Get Smart Handbook by Joey Green) included Kaiser's Alliance of Spies; Kidnappers Against Organized Sports; Kriegsspielende Anmassende Olige spione; and Kosher Alliance Opposing Shellfish. The KAOS letters could also stand for Kill All Opposing Sides or maybe Konquer All Of Society (per the author of this book). KAOS' mission included stealing secret plans and formulas, blowing up landmarks and assassinating government officials. The official insignia for KAOS is a vulture perched on a egg-shaped globe of the world. KAOS agents dress in black turtleneck, black berets, and black leather jackets sporting a KAOS patch. Ludwig Von Siegfried (Bernie Kopell) is their German-born fearless leader who served as an officer in the Third Reich. Speaking with a thick German accent, he considers everyone inferior to himself and calls people by such names as Dummkopf, Big Zissy, Ninny Schtupid, and Idiot. His aliases included Conrad, Dr. McTavish and Mr. Smith. King Moody played the role of his klutzy henchman assistant Shtarker (Yiddish for "strong-arm man or tough guy").
