  1. ha!

  2. “A cape on Jonah Hex.”  That about sums it up.

    P.S. This Hitler clip never seems to get old. 

  3. Wicked! Even though i know better this clip almost seems tailor made for this

  4. Heh! Pretty funny if you mute it.

  5. That. Was. Brilliant.

  6. It wouldn’t be comics without dooooom.

  7. Video is no longer available. BOOOOOO. Was it just the hitler freaking out clip?

  8. @spaceghost15  It’s working just fine for me.

  9. actual literal LOL. Holy crap Batman, that was funny. A cape on Jonah Hex. nice. 

    BTW that original movie is quite excellent…worth watching for history buffs.  

  10. I would rather read Wizard on my nook
    Bring me Fear Itself.

    HIlarious

  11. Got it. Must not want to play on my phone.
    “Bring me FEAR ITS SELF”

  12. Now that was funny.

  13. “Jim Lee should have put a cape on Jonah Hex and have him kill Superman”

    Yes, that is exactly what they should have done.

  14. lolz

  15. +1

  16. I thought this internet meme was baned by the film company?

    I guess you can’t keep a good thing down!

  17. Hilarious!

    How many times has that scene been used like this? I wonder what goes through the head of the filmmakers when they see these?  Have they finally given up getting these pulled from YouTube?

  18. Bring me Fear Itself! lol talk about same old story!

  19. Man, Hitler is pissed about everything.

  20. Oh internet.  You make me laugh.  I always wonder about the guys who play Hitler.  Do they get typecast?  Do they always have that mustache?  Could you imagine being the poor son of a bitch who is born looking like Hitler?

  21. I never thought I would agree with him. Now I am scared.

  22. I REALLY must see Downfall.

  23. This was pretty funny, but the actual criticism was a little incoherent. It’s pretty obvious the reboot is about overturning change and nostalgic masturbation in the guise of reverting characters to older, “iconic” statuses. It’s not the readers who are afraid of new things.

    @NaveenM: Actually, I believe the director of “Downfall” is quite pleased with the meme, since it does such a great job of knocking Hitler off his pedestal of evil. The distributing company has still been pulling the videos from YouTube though.

  24. @comicBOOKchris  It’s a really great movie.

    @ato220  Bruno Ganz is a pretty respected actor. He’s not like that dude who just played Saddam throughout the 90’s.

  25. @LucasEwalt  That was great.  Had me laughing more than the clip did!

  26. I don’t think director Oliver Hirschbiegel had any of this in mind when he made Downfall. Kinda feel bad that this is all of the film people remember.

  27. Amazing

  28. I lold several times. Funny stuff. A couple of missed opportunities (the woman should have said something about Wonder Woman or Power Girl), but funny.

  29. Great job — “My Wednesdays are free.”

  30. Best Hitler dubbing since “Hitler wants Fedor to fight in UFC”.

  31. I fully expect to see the quote “What Jim Lee should have done is put a cape on Jonah Hex” taken out of context and bandied around the internet for a good while. 

  32. Wow the most overused meme on the internet. Right up there with Rickrolling. It may have been funny once, but nowadays it’s just lazy and tedious.

  33. that was the funniest thng I’ve seen in a long time!

  34. No matter how many of these clips I see, it just never gets old and is always hilarious.

  35. Nice job guys, Bring me Fear Itself!

  36. OK, that’s it. I really have to start reading Jonah Hex.

  37. That Geoff Johns line had me crying in laughter. This video making my day is an understatement, lol.

  38. Loved it

  39. Hitler has a point.

    WAIT, I DIDN’T MEAN

    <USER BANNED>

  40. Awosome!

  41. This is gold, GOLD I SAY! Don’t know if I agree with the overall point, but it still made me laugh. That being said, I would love to see Jonah Hex with a cape… does that make me part of the problem? 

  42. Was the video pulled?

  43. @ato220  Nope. (Yet.)

  44. That was brilliant! And the acting looks fantastic.

  45. Hitler got something right, finally. Is Wizard really on the Nook? 

  46. @thejetcazet  Is this really what Mein Kampf was about?

  47. That was the funniest thing I’ve seen in ages. @Lucien21: You’re kidding, right? There’s no way you can give such a snotty remark to something so funny. Please, tell me you’re kidding. This. Is. Hilarous. Thanks for posting, Josh. Totally made my day.  

  48. I just watched the damn thing again, and it was twice as funny the second time. “I understood RIP”…really nails it. It’s 2:06 in the morning, and I’m laughing like an idiot in my basement over a Hitler comic book routine. Give me “lazy” and “tedious” any day of the week, then.

  49. @StPaulDoug  That hitler meme is trotted out for everything from getting banned from x-Box live to changing the watchmen movie. From Kayne dissing Swift to Michael Jackson’s death.
     
    It’s been totally overused and is no longer funny. 
      

  50. Write a way out Geoff!!

  51. “Stick a cape on Jonah Hex”, “My Wednesdays are free”, “Bring me Fear Itself” and “read Wizard on my Nook” have completely ressurected the “Downfall” meme. Well done sirs. 

  52. You guys have just made my day. Thank you so much!

  53. @Lucien21  Or not…

  54. OMG, the part about still being able to understand Batman RIP without reading Batman for the first 40 years was the best part for me!!

    This is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.  I never saw once of these Hitlers before so I’m kinda glad it was about the reboot this time…  Did I say that right?

    What movie is this from anyway??

  55. Avatar photo Paul Montgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    @robbydzwonar  The movie is called “Downfall.” 

  56. Is wrong for me to say Hitler made some valid points?

  57. I never get tired of a good “Downfall” video. 🙂

     

  58. @Diabhol, neither do I. 

    @robbydzwonar, I didn’t understand a word of RIP…so this really killed me..giggling like a nut.

    @Lucien21, uh, it IS FUNNY..to me, at least. EXTREMELY FUNNY. MADE MY WEEK FUNNY. I’ve seen different renditions of this clip on the web, just as you have. And to me, they’re all pretty darn entertaining. It’s just dumb fun, nothing else. So I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.

  59. Crap, Hitler and I had the same reaction.  

  60. That is one of the least profanity-laden ones I’ve seen.  Cheers.

  61. I love “Downfall” great film and this clip is amazing.  I’ve seen it used for NCAA brackets and other catastrophic events.  However, this was the best and it kind of mimics my own feelings …

  62. Everything I was thinking when I first heard about this massive reboot. Fear not, I expect we’ll still get a Detective Comics 900.
