This made me laugh, cuz I remembered the one they did with Windows 7 like this. And this was also pretty funny.
Yeah, I didn't know the had the other ones until I saw this one. I didn't watch any of them though, bcs I thought this one was so good. I about peed my pants I was laughing so hard. Some of the parts fit really well, especially the part about playing 'Bloons'.
I love these Hitler rants. I mean, what could be funnier than the most infamous tyrant of all time ranting about trivial consumer gripes?

Seriously though. There sure has been a lot of old upside down soul patch face lately. He's been everywhere lately, movies, commercials, and fucking History channel. Wasn't someone saying on another thread they should change the name to the Hitlery channel?
Hitler is fascinating. He was handsome, charismatic, brilliant, and by the end of his life, utterly fucking insane. Being at the head of a political regime that was responsible for some of the most unthinkably inhumane acts in human history, on a scale that is almost unimaginable, kind of puts him in a unique position for horrormirth. Hitler is funny in the same way rape is funny, which is to say, not at all; that's what makes it funny.
The US probably wins the blue ribbon for most unthinkably inhumane acts, and on a larger scale, but as everyone likes to say, "that was a long time ago", and besides, dirty savages don't really count.
God I hate Andrew Jackson.

We were just imitating the British.
Edit: Not 'just', it was fucking horrible, but that wasn't exactly unique either.

Yes, he is enigmatic for all the reasons you mention here, but I don't think the Hitlery channel portrays him that way. I think they run with the more 'madman hellbent on world domination' angle. Not as realistic, but it probably gets better ratings.

I don't have TV so I really have no idea about that... just commenting on the saturation of Hitler-related references, comics and jokes recently.
Well, believe me, you're not missing much. Early in the last decade, History Channel, Discovery, and TLC all pretty much became the same channel, and they play the same bullshit all the time. Roger's mentioned the Nostra-dumb-ass marathons they run, and they also do Hitler a lot. The thing is, the docs usually don't have the quality of the better older docs you might remember, like stuff from Nova, or even wildlife docs like the old Mutual of Omaha wild kingdom series. Now you get shows that have the quality of one of those vh1 pop-culture shows (you know, here come the 80's or whatever that shit is called), what with all the fancy graphics and lots of cuts and wipes, or even sort of reminiscent of music videos. At least some of the reenactment footage looks like bad music video footage. Animal Planet barely even plays just straight animal docs anymore. Now they do stuff like 'Animal Control cops in Atlanta', or fucking "Dog Whisperer" (I hate that assface). I want to turn off my cable, but I keep it mainly for cartoons. Adult Swim mostly, and South Park and Futurama. Oh, and 'Breaking Bad'. Best fucking tv show out there right now, hands down. I can't wait for the 3rd season. Its about a High School Chemistry teacher that ends up cooking meth so he can make some money for his family(for reasons I dont want get into, dont want to spoil it). It's a little like 'Weeds', except instead of a suburban mom selling weed, its a suburban square bookish type dude who turns into a meth dealer. Its got the dad from Malcolm in the Middle in it, and he is really really good. It really is a great show. The good thing about TV shows, if they are well written (like Heroes first season, and BSG at its best moments), is that the story can really be fleshed out over time, like 10-20 episodes, instead of just 1.2-2 hours in a movie or whatever. I've always loved that about TV shows, but I think its something that gets overlooked a lot. When it doesn't get overlooked (the ability of TV to tease out the payoff for any sort of dramatic buildup), you either get soap operas, or a well told story that ends up making the show a hit, like 24, or heroes, or Lost. All three of those shows are perfect examples of a tv show knowing they have the whole season to say what they want. Oh, Dexter probably belongs on that list too, or at least the first season or two.
