Original Hitler Spoof is Hitler bemoaning The Bern! Of course, Hills team had to be copycats.

2. One of my fav lines is "there is no stopping him he already has a meme"

4. Where is this clip from?

I must have seen this several dozen times with all kinds of memes, but never knew where it came from. I assume some movie?

Maybe on the Hitler, er, History Channel??

5. It is from the movie "Downfall"

[link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downfall_%282004_film%29|]

It roughtly covers the time in Hitler's bunker. It's a powerful and humanizing movie. Shows the downfall of Germany and Hitler psychologically at the latter moments of WWII in Europe.

It helps to put a human face on hitler, not for sympathy per se, but to avoid the historical sight of him as like a comic book style mad genius supervillain.

EDIT: It unfortunatly may not have worked because now we see hitler as some internet meme machine. I too am guilty of making a Downfall parody :/

7. You're right about the "Downfall" parodies.

In fact, this one took me back -- the very first one I remember seeing was when Hitler, confident that the superdelegates will deliver the nomination to Clinton, is told that they've been deserting to Obama.

My favorite, though, is the one where Hitler is told that people are continuing to make "Downfall" parodies.

What was yours about? Is it still available?

6. That was a good one. "I feel the Bern".

9. AND YET YOU'LL NOTICE...

...that the humorous spoof you're upset about was locked for being "offtopic", while this one, and all the ubiquitous lying propaganda attacking Hillary Clinton, posted in the Multimedia & Video Forum are all allowed to remain.

I mean Skinner has the right to run his website any way he chooses, but at this point he really should rename this place the naderite-dead-ender-underground.com. It's not just the hate filled naderites here, but the people he has running the site as well.

10. That's not the original spoof

This spoof/meme has been around for years.
