In this, the 198th Hitler/Downfall parody video to be uploaded to YouTube, Chris Hanel asks the comedic question: what would happen if Hitler made a Hitler parody?

Hitler Makes a YouTube Video (via Scientist, Interrupted)

Previously:
  • Hitler finds out Michael Jackson has died (Der Untergang remix)
  • Hitler finds out about new Watchmen ending (yet another DOWNFALL remix - SPOILER ALERT)
  • Critical Commons vs. Hitler: resource for free/open media and fair use
  • Hitler plans Burning Man
  • "Der Untergang" clip used as real estate downfall video

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

      “So, when does this meme get funny?”

      Yep, everyone else who’s laughing is wrong. Sorry Daemon, we didn’t realize. Now that we get it, we’ll all stop.

      Thanks.

    I think this Will Smith eureka moment video from the movie “Six degrees of separation” would be ideal for this kind of treatment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7t9St3pTlKQ

    Huh. I didn’t think you could get more meta than the one where he bitches about all the Downfall vids.

    • concrete_d

      You mean this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vMUvgce_5s

      • Church

        I’m not sure that was the one I saw. There may be a few of them.

  • Roy Trumbull

    After seeing the second one of these using the same video I began to wonder about the origin of the footage. Is it from a movie or TV show?

    • concrete_d

      It’s from the movie Downfall (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0363163/).

  • MarkM

    Do not watch this while you are consuming liquids UNLESS:
    you are also taping yourself while you watch it, in order
    to make an even more meta- video that shows you doing a
    spit-take.

    META!

    Brilliant! The last 50 seconds or so really made it pure genius.
