Viral Hitler Video Fad Spoofs Bannings from World of Warcraft, XBL

September 29, 2008

Today's Sydney Morning Herald reports on a viral YouTube fad involving mash-ups of 2004 Adolf Hitler bio-pic Downfall.

In one version the evil dictator gets banned from World of Warcraft (hit the video). In another der fuehrer is booted from Xbox Live. From the SMH:

In yet another case of an online parody taking on a life of its own, hundreds of internet jokers are dubbing over a scene from the film Downfall, in which Hitler explodes with anger when told he has lost World War II...

 

The narratives include Hitler fulminating about being kicked off Xbox Live, football star Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Manchester United to join Real Madrid, Barack Obama giving a speech in Berlin and being forced to see an Adam Sandler movie.

 

Other Downfall clips include Hitler reacting to having his car stolen, being banned from World of Warcraft, Hillary Clinton's nomination defeat, getting rejected from university and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's disastrous Glasgow byelection results.

 Don't forget the Mein "HD-DVD" Kaumf video (about Blu-ray's format victory).

I'm sorry....have we just gone back in time?!

Either that or the 'real world' has just caught up with the internet. Scary thought.

That video has been used so many times. If you want old videos that subtitle movies to make it video game related, watch this:

At first I was confused, but then I had to laugh. Amusing, despite the context of the actual film.
