    Lemonparty – I had tears running down my face.

  • Felix Schmeing

    It’s not as funny if you’re able to understand German ;)

  • bcsizemo

    I’m pretty sure he just defined the “real” reasons people want a new iPhone 5, not an updated 4.

  • quietstorms

    Odd that, after putting a bullet through his head, Hitler has found renewed vigor as the web’s top tech product reviewer. 

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_VP2Z36ZIADDQZE7HDHBTVRU2FY RickN

    I REFUSE to watch another Downfall macro.  Please stop.

    • travtastic

      There’s a convenient function on your mouse that I just discovered myself.

      Apparently if you don’t click your finger down on the button (when the cursor is in just the right place), it doesn’t open the goddamned video.

    • http://twitter.com/digitalArtform Joseph Francis

      Please. Just one more. Bad Lip Reading hasn’t done one yet.

    • robuluz

      Nah get stuffed. They seem to get better. This one just cut me up. Lemonparty, heh heh heh. Its the Hitler biopic clip that keeps on giving.

  • Antinous / Moderator

    Is this the first time that anyone’s used the spit line?  It seems so obvious, but it’s hilarious.

    Oh, and Rick N,

    Tell the guy holding the gun to your head to make you watch this that he has my permission to pull the trigger.

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_VP2Z36ZIADDQZE7HDHBTVRU2FY RickN

      He already turned the gun on himself!

  • Pag

    Never heard of it, but I’m not sure I want to see that Lemonparty picture…

    • Antinous / Moderator

      It’s the second image if you do a GIS.

  • Lucky Chucky

    I sure hope this clever Hitler meme catches on.

  • petershultz

    The android battle cry:

    “I give up. Get me the samsung”

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Abdul-Alhazred/100000416725737 Abdul Alhazred

    When you’ve seen plenty of these they’re like Dinosaur Comics; complaining about “oh not this again” is kind of silly unless the particular execution was flawed.
    To put it another way, the joke is not the meme itself. Unlike most memes, frankly.

  • Spriggan_Prime

    Don’t these things automatically Godwin themselves or is there a sub-clause to the law I’m not aware of?

    • HahTse

      There is: “It’s ok to make fun of Hitler and/or the Nazis.”

      Actuallly, it’s quite important, ’cause it demystifies them.
      That and Hitler wanted to be remembered as a “Great Person”, so no better way to work against his wishes than to ridicule him ;)

    I want magic!  

    Brilliant.  As an Apple user for 15 years now, I have a ‘difficult’ relationship with how much energy they have put into  the whoring of ‘wants’ into ‘needs’.

    What if they’d decided,  fuck it let’s just call it the iPhone 5!   Maybe bring back the translucent iMac style casing, with different colour options and special prices for particular shades…

  • http://www.facebook.com/Hamlet.Au Wagner James Au

    I’ve seen a Downfall video with Hitler’s complaining about Downfall videos. But is there a Downfall video with Hitler complaining about people complaining about Downfall videos?

  • hadlockk

    So is this meta-crass now, regarding Steve Jobs?

  • Angry Chief

    This is just a request.

    Could this not be up right now. I realize that most of us didn’t know Jobs personally, but this is in poor taste. Just wait until tomorrow.

    Again, just a request.

    • robuluz

      I don’t get what the problem is. It actually paints a fond portrait of Steve Jobs. Irreverent yeah, but I’m not feeling the squick.

      • Angry Chief

        Fair enough.

    • Metostopholes

      It should also be noted that, if I’m getting the times right, this was posted several hours before his death was announced.

      Just an unfortunate coincidence.

      • Peter Stewart

        I like the reference to “this would never have happend under Steve”, I think it pays a great unintentional compliment considering what has happend.

  • http://twitter.com/slackwit Slackware Wisdom

    This banalization of Hilter has to stop before everyone forgets what nazism is really about. KTHXBYE.

  • bjacques

    Android-hating Hitlers, stage left; iPhone 4S-hating Hitlers, stage right!

  • wizardru

    I don’t have a problem with another Hitler vid…but this was pretty weak to me.  Maybe you have to be really into the tech blogs or Apple to have tears rolling down your cheeks as some posters did.  I’ve seen other Hitler vids that seemed much funnier or on-point than this, IMHO.

  • CountZero

    I’ve seen a few of these now, and this has been one of the funniest. I really had tears in my eyes. I don’t get tired of them, and sorry, they really don’t devalue the evils of Nazism. The first one I ever saw was aimed specifically at a cycling forum I use, and was hysterical because of the specific references to people on there. This does the same, a nice affectionate
    reference to Steve, and a nice pointed jibe at those who are only interested in looking cool because they have the latest toy. Brilliant, and thank you for posting it.
