* ManlyTears: Hitler is very impressed at the Germanic roots of the name of Wiki/TheOtherWiki.

* TakeThat: Hitler's "program" is basically him bludgeoning almost every aspect of modern day Germany with this trope.

* ConspiracyTheorist: The Jewish Conspiracy's stupidity is lampshaded in the book when Hitler cannot fathom as to why the UsefulNotes/ColdWar happened since his ideology proclaims that Jews control both Capitalism and Communism. As it falls apart, he chooses to ignore it and move on to another subject.

* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: A humongous factor in Hitler's rise to fame, as his fearless gutting of racial, cultural, and political controversies appeals to and empowers those who are too afraid to voice those opinions themselves due to the stifling stigma against such talk in Germany.

* {{Asexuality}}: Hitler claims that he got all his carnal urges out of his system by the time he was 30 to better focus on his political career, but advises the reader that if they are to enter politics, then they should fake not being this until they are that age or older otherwise it might spark rumors about their attractiveness and overall vitality.[[note]]Contemporaries relate that this wasn't true of the real Hitler--he had an active sex life with Eva Braun.[[/note]]

* {{Irony}}: Hitler assumes that the only party he can get along with is the [[GranolaGirl Green Party]], because he believes they share similarities to his blood and soil program. You know, the Party associated with hippies, social progress, and pacifism.[[note]]The German extreme left will tell you he's right.

''Er Ist Wieder Da'' (or ''Look Who's Back'', literal translation: ''He's Back'') is a [[BlackComedy darkly comedic]] book of political satire by German writer Timur Vermes from 2012, that casts a bemused yet cautionary glance at the modern day world and how its current circumstances aren't entirely dissimilar from those that allowed someone like (or in this case, actually is) Adolf Hitler to come to power.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Hitler lost the presidential election in 1932, but as far as most people are concerned, the people of Germany elected him, and that is how this movie treats it. President Hindenburg was forced to appoint him chancellor, but the movie doesn't take the time to make the distinction. In any case, the Nazi Party received the most votes then and came to power with a coalition, like many parliamentary governments.

* EvilLaugh: Hitler has a rather well-placed one in the scene where the studio is reading his fanmail. This results in several uncomfortable looks from the people around him.

* RefugeInAudacity: In-universe. Hitler first gains an audience through the show "Whoa, Dude!" which runs on this trope.
** In a more straight example of this trope, [[spoiler:Hitler using a dead dog to spout racial slurs.]]

* VillainHasAPoint: Hitler's criticisms of modern day Germany are valid. His solutions? Much less laudable.
** Not to mention, his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to [[spoiler:Sawatzki]] was actually not disagreeable.
