# YMMV.DukeNukem: ValuesDissonance: Whilst Duke Nukem Does the Internet is well known for its Values Resonance, Duke mentions anarchists and druggies alongside Nazis, racists, homophobes and other unsavory types. With more people knowing more about Anarchism and the backlash to the War on Drugs, Duke mentioning those two groups alongside Nazis, racists, and homophobes seems like a case of GodwinsLaw, or at the very least reactionary.

# VideoGame.BattleTech2018: The Magistracy's leadership is backing Kamea's revolution for a handful of reasons.First, having a neighboring star system's ruler in your debt is never a bad thing. Second, Kamea's usurper uncle seems to think Stefan Amaris is a positive role model. Leading to the third, as the Aurigan Reach's neighbors are in a Cold War, and she's concerned that some shortsighted move from Espinosa will turn it hot, so she'd prefer to avoid that by backing the usurped ruler that has a cooler head in a Civil War, giving the neighbors time to cool down further. Espinosa proves himself to be one in the opening mission — not only was he able to turn the majority of the Royal Guard against Kamea, he and his daughter also arranged for the engineers to sabotage any Mech belonging to someone not part of the conspiracy.

# Fanfic.TheBoltChronicles: Lampshaded humorously by Mittens in "The Survivor" when she invokes Adolf Hitler during a conversation with her canine friend Petey, saying this will bring their conversation to a close.

Hope it’s not karma in your case, otherwise you must have been a really, really, bad kitty in your previous life. Mittens: [laughing] That's me — the Hitler of the feline set way back when.

# Headscratchers.ValkyriaChronicles: Does emperor Maximilian have some kind of weird, racist Darcsen fetish? I mean, it seems like most Gallians won't touch a Darcsen with the end of a long stick, and the implication is that the Empire is far more racist than them... Yet when he tries to force Cordelia to marry him, and she shows him that she is actually a Darcsen, he isn't disgusted, he is pleased! Is that some kind of secret perversion of him or something? Do they consider it one in Europa?he probably appreciates the irony, and he is less racist than most of the good guysThere were virtulent Nazi bigwigs who chose mistresses right out of the camps they controlled. To say nothing of the fact that not everybody in a racist totalitarian state believes in the prejudices, even amongst the leadership.

# Recap.GilmoreGirlsS06E14: Downplayed: Even HitlerAteSugar.LiveActionTV: QI discussed the trope at one point, along with [[GodwinsLaw Godwin's Law]]. Stephen Fry is of the opinion that anybody who uses this trope immediately loses whatever argument they were having. Hitler came out of his bunker once in a while. Paris never comes out of her cardboard fortress liked that serves as her office in the newsroom.
therefore it's bad. Or Hitler didn't like that therefore it's good. Hitler, for example, was massively opposed to fox hunting; he thought it was cruel and terrible. And so, he banned it. So, therefore, it must be right... that's just a mad argument.
# Characters.BlackBullet: Only SouthParkElementarySchoolStaff: EveryoneHasStandards: He's a douche, but he would never use his progressive views to try and get laid. He even calls in a meeting with the other PC bros to tell them that doing so is insincere and manipulative. By Season 21, he's started to get sick of Cartman constantly demanding he help him feel better about himself in school. Season 25 shows he does not appreciate it when the students [[GodwinsLaw compare him not giving them whatever it is they want to Nazi Germany]] and he's repeatedly told them not to trivialize the Nazis by doing so.
# Funny.TheNostalgiaChick2012Episodes: After a cool rant about the stupidity of [[GodwinsLaw Godwin's Law]], she then goes on to bring back her hatred of cats and explain how they're like Hitler.
# Creator.MichaelBay: Megan Fox compared him to Hitler in an interview, although
in the light novels. To be dictator sense more precise, Rentaro compares him to Adolf Hitler on than anything else.As described under Doing It for the Art, he prefers practical effects as much as possible, because he feels the results look better when the props and the sets and the vehicles are actually real. For Ambulance, Bay was proud that most of the stunts in the movie were done for real with minimal bluescreen, and while there is some CGI scenes, he wasn't happy with how they both take advantages of tragedies turned out.

Second, Kamea's usurper uncle seems to think Stefan Amaris is a positive role model. Leading to special conversation between Captain America and the third, as holograph of Nanite-infected Nick Fury. To be fair, the Aurigan Reach's neighbors are in a Cold War, and she's concerned two of them literally had fought Hitler's Nazis together. But when Fury states that some shortsighted move the Fold would bring an end to all future wars, Cap responds: Captain America: Right, once you've taken everything over. Pretty sure I've heard that one before... from Espinosa will turn it hot, so she'd prefer to avoid that by backing an old German acquaintance of ours.
# YMMV.VForVendetta: Some contemporary reviewers find
the usurped ruler that has a cooler head in a Civil War, giving the neighbors time to cool down further. Espinosa proves himself idea of "concentration camps" for homosexuals, eradicate homosexuality even as an abstract concept, etc. to be one sort of an invocation of [[GodwinsLaw Godwin's Law]] by comparing Thatcher's Britain to Nazi Germany. However, in the opening mission — not only was he able to turn early 1980s one of Margaret Thatcher's advisors did indeed make the majority suggestion, as a public health policy, that all gay men should be put into quarantine in closed institutions as a strategy to stop the spread of HIV infections. Alan Moore's Word of God says this aspect of the Royal Guard against Kamea, he and his dystopia was a direct commentary on the implications of such proposals. The real life idea never took off.

# Series.TakinOverTheAsylum: Campbell compares Evelyn to a Nazi a couple of times.
# PlayingWith.CatsAreMean: Alex the Cat always pick fights with rats, dogs and other cats, to the point even kittens are victims of this. Alex the cat is possessed by the Devil. The author portrays cats as Always Chaotic Evil. The cats start a program whereby mice are systematically tortured and enslaved. Alternatively: the author combines this with GodwinsLaw and portrays cats as Nazis. Alex the Cat is a profoundly wicked alley cat who torments and kills dozens of smaller animals (and even his previous owner) out of sheer sadism.

Seen in "We All Fall Down", the blue orchid artifact, which unleashes a deadly plague that can kill in 24 hours, is sealed in an impenetrable container.
# AuthorTract.{{Music}}: Much of Green Day's American Idiot album contains constant Take Thats against the George W. Bush administration. One song on the album, "Holiday", despite already being an Author Tract manages to still have an Author Filibuster where the song stops for the singer to Strawman Political Arnold Schwarzenegger and George Bush directly through spoken word, complete with pulling a Godwin. Only a couple of tracks on the album ("Holiday" and "American Idiot" especially) are explicitly political, though, with the main focus of the album being a narrative about disaffected youths. Most assume the entire album is nothing but political ranting because the two most Anvilicious songs were released as singles and, consequentially, received the most airplay

# Fanfic.{{Deserving}}: Chapter 6 has Marked Ones explicitly likened to Holocaust victims.
# VindicatedByHistory.{{Music}}: The band was regularly panned by music critics during The '70s, due to their pomp and general goofiness. Then-renowned music critic Dave Marsh even called them [[GodwinsLaw "the first truly fascist rock band."]] After their disco-centric 1982 album Hot Space flopped, they were more-or-less written off as relics of '70s flamboyance and excess (although they did have a hit in 1984 with "Radio Ga Ga"). However, their monumental performance at Live Aid in 1985, Freddie Mercury's early death in late 1991 and their 1975 hit "Bohemian Rhapsody" from A Night at the Opera appearing in the popular 1992 comedy Wayne's World caused a major resurgence in the band's popularity, with many critics seriously reconsidering their prior dismissal of the band. They are now almost unanimously considered to be one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
# Film.AnnieHall: "What's with all these awards? They're always giving out awards! Best Fascist Dictator: Adolf Hitler!"
# ComicallyMissingThePoint.ComicStrips: Candorville: In this strip, Lemont can't think of a topic to write an article about, then mentions that Dr. Kevorkian just got released from prison. Susan assumes he's going to try to kill himself, and says he takes Writer's Block too hard. In particular, Lemont thinks about his reputation solely in terms of how he's thought of on startrektalk.com.

# CowboyBeBopAtHisComputer.LiveActionFilms: Matrisciana's 2001 video Harry Potter: Witchcraft Repackaged goes so far as to [[GodwinsLaw try to play the Nazi card]]. At one point in the video, Matrsciana tried to link Harry with Nazism because the lightning bolt, the shape of his scar, "was used by Hitler sometimes." (The logo of the SS was meant to be two stylized lightning bolts shaped like S's.) Lightning bolt + occult + Hitler = Harry Potter is a devil-worshipping Nazi!!! By that logic, all of these people are just as guilty of promoting Nazism as Harry Potter.
# InsultBackfire.RealLife: When President of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe (Hyperinflation dude, also responsible for turning the country around from its high standard of living among Africa to its current state) was [[GodwinsLaw compared to Hitler]], he had this to say: "This Hitler has only one objective: justice for his people, sovereignty for his people, recognition of the independence of his people and their rights over their resources? If that is Hitler, then let me be a Hitler tenfold."

# Literature.TheNewAmericanDictionary: Nazi noun 1. A person with an opinion differing from yours. See communist, shill.
# Film.IfFootmenTireYouWhatWillHorsesDo: Pirkle claims that communists are [[GodwinsLaw worse than Hitler]] because the Nazis supposedly killed people mercifully whereas communists torture. Obviously, the notion that the Nazis never used torture is a fantasy on par with Holocaust denial. And yes, the Soviets certainly used torture too, but the point is that that alone is not something which made them different from the Nazis.
# Fanfic.EmbersVathara: The dragons, including Shidan interpreted the airbender genocide as acting against deserters. In other words, if there had been Embers-verse dragons in America IRL during The '60s, they would have helped Richard Nixon slaughter every protester at Kent State. If they'd been... [[GodwinsLaw elsewhere]]... a couple of decades earlier... And in both cases, some of them might figure out that they'd committed atrocities decades later. Let's just say that dragons don't make good neighbors for humans.



# RobotChicken.TropesAToH: Gargamel invokes this upon himself after he is found guilty and sentenced to life in prison for racial crimes against The Smurfs (1981). He tries to clarify in his defense that all he was trying to do was completely wipe out and eradicate every last Smurf off the face of the Earth. The judge points out that he just gave the textbook definition of "Genocide". Gargamel: Oh... soooo... me and Hitler, huh?
# Literature.DonCamillo: Subverted, as in the heat of the moment opposing characters show no hesitation to call each other fascists, e. g. Peppone sarcastically calling Don Camillo "Duce" and Gina Filotti needling Peppone by referring to him as podestà - the term for "mayor" under Fascism - instead of sindaco.
# Funny.HipsterHitler: Godwin's law.
# YMMV.MortalKombatDeception: Hotaru is frequently demonized to a degree greater than the way he is presented in canon with some detractors going to the extreme of claiming he is A Nazi by Any Other Name. While it is true that he is a Legalist and possibly can also be interpreted as an Authoritarianist (though one with Utilitarian motivations), but there is no concrete evidence that he holds views that resemble those of fascism (unless one is going by the looser definition of the term). Even if Hotaru holds such a philosophy, to claim that the makers of Mortal Kombat are condoning this detestable ideology is as absurd as claiming that Marvel Comics condones the likes of the Red Skull by his mere existence in their fictional universe.
# Webcomic.{{Sinfest}}: On another level, the horrors of the "Anti-Nazi Goggles" would probably hit a bit harder if not for the fact that the strip in its modern form directly and openly compares social media companies to Nazis (to the point that even their headquarters are designed to look like scenes straight out of Nazi Germany) because they ban right-wing pundits who break their site rules, and explicitly endorsed running over rioters with a vehicle, something that in the context of American politics is itself widely considered to be at best an act of vigilantism and at worst an act of terrorism.

# PlayingWith.MoreHateableMinorVillain: Evulz commits horrific atrocities daily and loves doing so, but the heroes treat him like a sad abused puppy because of his Freudian Excuse. Meanwhile, Charlie the school bully is mean to Alice and steals money from her once and the heroes are out for his blood, even calling him worse than Hitler.
# YMMV.TheAdventuresOfSuperman: "The Clan of the Fiery Cross" has messages that still hold up well;Americans of different races and religions deserve the same respect as everyone else. Do not give into fear in the face of violence and intolerance, you will only give your oppressors what they want and let them get stronger. People who exploit racial tensions care more about power and money than any kind of ideals. The storyline more than once compares the Klan to the Nazis. As Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups have become increasingly tied with the Neo Nazis, this comparison proved highly prophetic.
# Characters.Frozen50sMan: He uses the phrase by name when it turns out the Q he's been working for is actually a living, breathing Nazi and not a heroic American freedom fighter working in secret from within the government.
# Recap.TheNostalgiaCriticS2E4: Critic compares the scene where Kurt is giving the employees a dictator-like speech, with speeches by the Fuhrer, complete with fast food related English subtitles. "HEIL MONDO BURGER!" He later calls Mondo Burger "Hitler Burger". Hitler: And don't forget the fries with that! God HELP you if you forget the fries with that!
# PlayingWith.PompousPoliticalPundit: Bob compares tolerance of homosexuality, religious and ethnic minorities, environmentalism, and Keynesian economics to Communism at least Once per Episode.

Dunkey refers to the player as "the real Hitler."
# Characters.KingOfTheHillTheHillsFamilyAndOtherRelatives: Cotton is an abusive father and husband. One time, he was even seen using Tilly as a footstool, and holds Peggy in ill regard. However, when he sees Peggy in her body cast following her near-fatal skydiving accident, Cotton immediately assumes it's Hank's fault and is disgusted with him. "Hank, what'd you do to your wife? I didn't teach you that!" He may be politically incorrect, but he won't tolerate someone mis-identifying someone else's ethnicity. When Dale referred to Kahn as Japanese Cotton correctly identified Kahn as Laotian. When meeting Tilly's new boyfriend, he correctly identifies his surname as Jewish as says he had the honor of serving alongside a Jewish soldier in the war. He can be mildly racist at times but he also hates Nazis. Which makes sense considering he was a WWII vet (albeit in the Pacific, not Europe). He's especially annoyed when Luanne's spoiled roommate calls him one.

While whether or not the mothers' accusations that Lorelai was glamorizing Teen Pregnancy were justified is a debate of its own, they do bring up a good point that Lorelai could've just turned down answering the questions in the first place to ignore any potential unfortunate implications.

# YMMV.ZhirinovskysRussianEmpire: In one scene, a UIS diplomat comically accuses his Estonian counterparts of being Nazis. A year after the scene was posted, the Russians in real life notably accused Ukrainian pro-democracy activists of being Neo-Nazis when they rose up in protest against their corrupt government.
# Funny.MothersBasement: Him playing the famous "are we the baddies?'' clip while discussing the obvious China stand-in's new government using Swastikas as their iconography despite their ideology not having any apparant connections to "Hisler".

# Series.SweetVicious: Chloe and the Lindsays, the leaders of the Kappa Kappa Phi sorority, are a particularly nasty example, cruelly abusing pledges and filming it for a fetish site. Ophelia describes Chloe as "the love child of a CrossFit instructor and Mussolini." Ophelia's mother Bobbi was this when she went to Darlington, coming up with at least one of the Kappas' hazing rituals herself.

When he tried to sue a satire site for libel, he managed to make himself a public figure, thus protecting the site under parody laws. His wife invoked GodwinsLaw on critics, and ultimately Carreon had to pay $46,100 to the satire site.
# Recap.MashS1E7BananasCrackersAndNuts: Hawkeye tells Henry, "Every time you go, he [Frank] turns into instant Hitler." Although, given that the Korean War started only five years after the end of World War II, the reference would probably come across as less tired in the show's time period.
# YMMV.ToddInTheShadows: Now I do realize that I can say controversial things sometimes, but I think we can all agree, comparing the Backstreet Boys to Hitler is entirely accurate and proportional."

# Literature.SongOfSolomon: In-universe, Guitar tries to cite the Nazis' actions as proof that Whites are inherently evil.
# Characters.TheNostalgiaCriticTheCriticTropesNToZ: In the Child's Play 2 review; "Yeah, when you're going to tie up a child, do it for the same reason I would. To beat him." Because that sounds like the guy who invokes GodwinsLaw on someone who is an asshole to their kids and then leaves them.
# Film.StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry: Kirk makes a comparison between the Klingon's request for "living space" with Hitler's demands for Lebensraum at the diplomatic dinner (whilst not being very diplomatic). Needlessly to say, this comparison goes down really really badly. Becomes worse when the two Klingons most likely to get it are the traitorous conspiratorial one obsessed with Earth culture and the one who had probably done his research on their planet and history for the forthcoming peace talks. I.e. the two worst of the group to offend with the comparison. However, the latter understood Kirk's old prejudice perfectly and didn't hold it against him, and the former probably goaded Kirk to say that.
# YMMV.ArkhamPatientSessions: Is Jeremiah Arkham really all there? Sure he seems mild-mannered, and he appears to be trying his best to cure the Arkham patients, but his lack of success in doing so, his demonstrable lack of professionalism (like his brutal "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Dr. Death) and some of the extreme methods he takes (such as using Electric Torture on The Riddler) make one wonder just how pure his intentions are.Scarecrow and Black Mask both suggest that Dr. Arkham has a hidden darker side, Black Mask even comparing him to Josef Mengele. When Arkham starts threatening to turn the violent inmates loose on Black Mask by telling them he knows Batman’s secret identity, Black Mask takes it as confirmation of his point. The season finale has the Scarecrow psychology torturing Jeremiah Arkham into insanity, though Arkham’s family history and personal behavior as described by Scarecrow suggest Arkham may have always been at least slightly mad.
# PlayingWith.TautologicalTemplar: The Lawful Stupid Tomoe, proud solder of The Empire, knows that she's one of the good guys — she's a soldier for justice! And that means she does nothing but good deeds, and punishes the baddies! Even that puppy was evil! Bob is a member of La Résistance, and he labels everything he doesn't like as pro-empire whether its accurate or not. This self-justification allows him to hurt innocent people without feeling any form of guilt or remorse
# DarthWiki.HowNotToWriteAnExample: Always have lot's of conversation. Yeah! Always add two or more asterisk to you’re example and make sure to place it between other examples with two or more asteroid. Surely, that won’t mess up anything with the context of any examples before or after Have to agree with that! Totally! Who can deny it? I have to disagree. You know who else disagreed? Hitler! Are you saying you're the same as Hitler? That reminds me of this one time, at band camp... Hey, why'd you stop your story? I really want to hear about what happened at your band camp. We all know what happened at band camp. Hey, you guys forgot to incrementally indent your replies.
# Radio.TheAdventuresOfSuperman: The Clan of the Fiery Cross is one long jab at the Ku Klux Klan, using a thinly veiled pastiche to mock the KKK for its illegal activities, while deriding them as cowards and repeatedly comparing them to the Nazis.
# Film.AFewGoodMen: Kaffee proposes using this as the basis for his court defense of Downey and Dawson: they were ordered by superior officers to discipline Santiago, and their "Code Red" just got out of hand. Weinberg retorts that that line of defense didn't work at Nuremberg and it didn't work at My Lai and it's not going to work now. Kaffee fires back that the difference with the Marines is that they were just carrying out a routine order they didn't think would result in any physical harm. But of course, Code Reds are illegal, regardless of what harm might ensue, so their clients should properly have refused the order. Kaffee ultimately gets them acquitted of the most serious charges largely by tricking their CO into admitting on the stand that he had given said illegal orders.
# Woobie.LiveActionTV: Has two surprising woobies, one is a gay Nazi and the other is a Gestapo agent. Yes, that's right, GodwinsLaw notwithstanding, people who watch this show do feel sorry for Lt. Gruber and Agent von Smallhausen. To be fair though, they can't help that they are citizens of Nazi Germany, who have ended up serving their country in the occupied France.
# NationalStereotypes.EasternEurope: Because of its unusual religious tolerance at certain points in history, Jews flocked to Poland and so Jews have made up a large portion of the Polish population for a long time. Poland had the largest Jewish population in the world until, well, those Nazis again. There was a massive post-war emigration and a lot of the Polish Jews ended up in America (and Israel — during the first 20-30 years of its existence, Knesset debate would sometimes be held in Polish as angry MKs of Polish origin lapsed into their native tongue). Perhaps because of that, most of the Polish people who float around in the American cultural consciousness are of Jewish descent and identify mostly with Jewish culture (Isaac Bashevis Singer, Jerzy Kosinski, etc.) so there tends to be some conflation between Jewish and Polish stereotypes in the American media.
# Funny.TheNewOrderLastDaysOfEurope: One of the later focuses is about painting the NPP as a bunch of fascists with election campaign rhetoric. What's it called? "Everyone I Don't Agree With Is HITLER!" It even uses the Memetic Mutation displayed on the main page as its icon. "Well, they are!"

# RobotChicken.TropesAToH: Gargamel invokes this upon himself after he is found guilty YMMV.{{Earthlings}}: AudienceAlienatingPremise: Aside from the lack of subtlety in its message, the documentary's [[GodwinsLaw equating modern human society with Nazis]] and sentenced to life in prison for racial crimes against The Smurfs (1981). He tries to clarify in his defense that all he was trying to do was completely wipe out and eradicate every last Smurf off farming/eating animals with the face Holocaust would be incredibly off-putting (if not downright enraging) to a number of the Earth. The judge points out that he just gave the textbook definition of "Genocide". Gargamel: Oh... soooo... me and Hitler, huh?
# Literature.DonCamillo: Subverted, as in the heat of the moment opposing characters show no hesitation to call each other fascists, e. g.

# YMMV.MortalKombatDeception: Hotaru
ZeroPunctuation1: Yahtzee begins by making a Mad Libs Dialogue version of 1 Timothy 6: 10: They say that money is frequently demonized to a degree greater than the way he root of all evilnote It's actually "The love of money is presented in canon the root of all evils.", but somehow I doubt [[GodwinsLaw Mrs. Hitler was being]] impregnated by a roll of Deutsche Marks. The saying works better if you replace "money" with some detractors going to the extreme "rich businessmen in tight suits who won't even put twenty cents in a gumball machine if they can't expect a return of claiming he is A Nazi by Any Other Name. While it is true that he is a Legalist investment" and possibly can also be interpreted as an Authoritarianist (though one "evil" with Utilitarian motivations), but there is no concrete evidence that he holds views that resemble those of fascism (unless one is going by "bland, samey action-adventure clones kneeling on the looser definition bed of a dried-up watering hole licking the term). Even dirt for moisture." (And "is" with "are," if Hotaru holds such a philosophy, we want to claim that the makers of Mortal Kombat are condoning this detestable ideology is as absurd as claiming that Marvel Comics condones the likes of the Red Skull by his mere existence in their fictional universe.

# Webcomic.{{Sinfest}}: On another level, the horrors of the "Anti-Nazi Goggles" would probably hit a bit harder if not for the fact SandraAndWoo: Parodied. Larisa seems convinced that this is a sound strategy to convince the strip in its modern form directly and openly compares social media companies soccer team to Nazis (to the point that even their headquarters are designed to look like scenes straight out of Nazi Germany) elect Sandra as captain, because they ban right-wing pundits who break their site rules, and explicitly endorsed running over rioters with a vehicle, something that in the context of American politics is itself widely considered to be at best an act of vigilantism and at worst an act of terrorism.

# Recap.MashS1E7BananasCrackersAndNuts: Hawkeye tells Henry, "Every time you go, he [Frank] turns into instant Hitler." Although, given that the Korean War started only five years after the end of World War II, the reference would probably come across as less tired in the show's time period.
# YMMV.ToddInTheShadows: Now I do realize that I can say controversial things sometimes, but I think we can all agree, comparing the Backstreet Boys to Hitler is entirely accurate and proportional."
# Recap.SwampThingVolume2Issue53TheGardenOfEarthlyDelights: Young gang
Pantheon.VillainousSuccessAndFailure: Former members from Gotham's Manchester district take advantage of the chaos by releasing animals from the zoo in the Coventry area. One gang-banger then boasts about it on TV: Hey Coventry, listen up. You're in trouble, maan. We set a swamp juju on your American Nazi Party ass.
# Literature.SongOfSolomon: In-universe, Guitar tries to cite the Nazis' actions as proof that Whites are inherently evil.
# Characters.TheNostalgiaCriticTheCriticTropesNToZ: In the Child's Play 2 review; "Yeah, when you're going to tie up a child, do it for the same reason I would. To beat him." Because that sounds like the guy who invokes GodwinsLaw on someone who is an asshole to their kids and then leaves them.
# Film.StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry: Kirk makes a comparison between the Klingon's request for "living space" with Hitler's demands for Lebensraum at the diplomatic dinner (whilst not being very diplomatic). Needlessly to say, this comparison goes down really really badly. Becomes worse when the two Klingons most likely to get it are the traitorous conspiratorial one obsessed with Earth culture and the one who had probably done his research on their planet and history for the forthcoming peace talks. I.e. the two worst
Council of the group to offend with the comparison. However, the latter understood Kirk's old prejudice perfectly and didn't hold it against him, and the former probably goaded Kirk to say that.
# YMMV.ArkhamPatientSessions: Is Jeremiah Arkham really all there? Sure he seems mild-mannered, and he appears to be trying his best to cure the Arkham patients, but his lack of success in doing so, his demonstrable lack of professionalism (like his brutal "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Dr. Death) and some of the extreme methods he takes (such as using Electric Torture on The Riddler) make one wonder just how pure his intentions are.Scarecrow and Black Mask both suggest that Dr. Arkham has a hidden darker side, Black Mask even comparing him to Josef Mengele. When Arkham starts threatening to turn the violent inmates loose on Black Mask by telling them he knows Batman’s secret identity, Black Mask takes it as confirmation of his point. The season finale has the Scarecrow psychology torturing Jeremiah Arkham into insanity, though Arkham’s family history and personal behavior as described by Scarecrow suggest Arkham may have always been at least slightly mad.
# PlayingWith.TautologicalTemplar: The Lawful
Five: Practically Joker, Stupid Tomoe, proud solder of The Empire, knows that she's one of the good guys — she's a soldier for justice! Evil And that means she does nothing but good deeds, and punishes the baddies! Even that puppy was evil! Bob is a member of La Résistance, and he labels everything he doesn't like as pro-empire whether its accurate or not.

# Radio.TheAdventuresOfSuperman: The Clan of the Fiery Cross is one long jab at the Ku Klux Klan, using a thinly veiled pastiche to mock the KKK for its illegal activities, while deriding them as cowards and repeatedly comparing them to the Nazis.
# Film.AFewGoodMen: Kaffee proposes using this as the basis for his court defense of Downey and Dawson: they were ordered by superior officers to discipline Santiago, and their "Code Red" just got out of hand. Weinberg retorts that that line of defense didn't work at Nuremberg and it didn't work at My Lai and it's not going to work now. Kaffee fires back that the difference with the Marines is that they were just carrying out a routine order they didn't think would result in any physical harm. But of course, Code Reds are illegal, regardless of what harm might ensue, so their clients should properly have refused the order. Kaffee ultimately gets them acquitted of the most serious charges largely by tricking their CO into admitting on the stand that he had given said illegal orders.
# Woobie.LiveActionTV: Has two surprising woobies, one is a gay Nazi and the other is a Gestapo agent. Yes, that's right, GodwinsLaw notwithstanding, people who watch this show do feel sorry for Lt. Gruber and Agent von Smallhausen. To be fair though, they can't help that they are citizens of Nazi Germany, who have ended up serving their country in the occupied France.
# NationalStereotypes.EasternEurope: Because of its unusual religious tolerance at certain points in history, Jews flocked to Poland and so Jews have made up a large portion of the Polish population for a long time. Poland had the largest Jewish population in the world until, well, those Nazis again.
Damn Proud Of It, Resents Being Given Rulership Of Australia, Facial Horror (Mr Rictus), Nazis, [[GodwinsLaw There was a massive post-war emigration and a lot of the Polish Jews ended up in America (and Israel — during the first 20-30 years of its existence, Knesset debate would sometimes be held in Polish as angry MKs of Polish origin lapsed into their native tongue). Perhaps because of that, most of the Polish people who float around in the American cultural consciousness are of Jewish descent and identify mostly with Jewish culture (Isaac Bashevis Singer, Jerzy Kosinski, etc.) so there tends to be some conflation between Jewish and Polish stereotypes in the American media.
# Funny.TheNewOrderLastDaysOfEurope: One of the later focuses is about painting the NPP as a bunch of fascists with election campaign rhetoric. What's it called? "Everyone I Don't Agree With

# Funny.TheSpoonyExperiment: Comparing the church of New Yevon to the neonazis comes so much out of nowhere that it's bloody hilarious.
# Literature.TheArtsOfDarkAndLight: GreatOffscreenWar: The war against the Witchkings a number of centuries back, which broke the back of the kingdoms of the elves and enabled the rise of Amorr and Savondir as the main great powers of the setting. Whether seen as history (by the humans) or living memory (by the elves), everyone still recognizes how important it was.

Is the Empire the last, best hope for ensuring humanity's prosperity and survival against the genocidal Thalmor, or are they brutal oppressors holding on to a shadow of their former glory who crossed the line trying to appease the Thalmor? Are the Stormcloaks a bunch of heroic freedom fighters pushing a now-impotent empire out of their land and the Only Sane Men who know the only real way to deal with the Thalmor, or are they a bunch of bull-headed, racist idiots that are unwittingly giving the Thalmor exactly what they want and ultimately are just as bad as the Thalmor? Were they all developed enough or no?
# Webcomic.PrincessPi: Used by the Totally Nazis, but more often in reference to people they hate.Practiced in "Princess Pi vs. The Alpha Bitch", when Sam's attorney says anyone who arrests her would be Hitler. Practiced again in "Sam Adams vs. True Love": Sam warns classmate Ty Chiselbottom that if he doesn't dump her fat girlfriend, she'll never develop the desire to lose weight, and she'll die just because he made her feel content with her portly figure. You know what that makes you? A Nazi! And not the cool kind of Nazi, I mean the bad kind!

James talks down Jeremy's Grosser by listing the names of several infamous dictators who owned his car including; Saddam Hussein, Fidel Castro, Hirohito, Mao Tse Tung, and Pol Pot.Played straight in the UK Convertible segment of Series 2, Episode 8, where a woman in the audience in the audience compliments the design of the Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet, and Jeremy says "Hitler designed it, you do know that, don't you?".

# Characters.VeganArtbook: {{Hypocrite}}: They see no difference between Jews and pigs, consider everyone who disagrees with them brainwashed by the system, parasites and evil, have no problem with murdering those who disagree with them or enabling it... and break [[GodwinsLaw Godwin's Law]] often.
# YMMV.{{Lensman}}: When the series started, eugenics hadn't been [[GodwinsLaw discredited by association with the Nazis yet]], so aliens "encouraging" Earth's best and brightest to make babies with each other was seen as the proper thing for Sufficiently Advanced Aliens to do. Ironically, it doubles as In-Universe values dissonance; the aliens see no moral issue with trying to make humanity do this.
# Characters.RevolutionZ: As is bound to happen, what with him being a jerk of a principal and a German teacher, he gets called a fascist and one time Bobby draws a Hitler mustache and comb-over on his portrait.Being a Germanophile, he also knows how to invoke it to Pesheva when she replaces him and proves to be an even more tyrannical principal: Tsekov: Damn Führer, that one!... You want a war, huh? You Göbbels.
# Memes.LiveActionTV: Glenn Beck [[GodwinsLaw has Nazi]] tourettes!
# Funny.TheSpoonyExperiment: Comparing JoueurDuGrenier: Code bleu (on Project Hospital)The nurse (played by Sorina-chan) is sick of being overworked and proposes a fitting name for the church of New Yevon hospital. Nurse: I propose "Last Day Hospital" or "Final Breath Hospital". Intern: Doesn't it sound a bit… gloomy? No one will want to come… Nurse: Exactly. The doctor (played by Seb) is essentially channeling Dr. Cox. (to the neonazis comes so much out of nowhere government -sent manager announcing she's being Kicked Upstairs): You're still here? I thought you'd commit suicide in your bunker before defeat.
# DarthWiki.{{Daylight}}: ManipulativeBastard: The Wolf. He started the fire
that killed Limper's pack, thus turning him against humans and making him the perfect pawn. Fridge Brilliance and possibly Fridge Horror when you realise there have been historic events in which a fire had a major role, such as the fire that Emperor Nero blamed Christians for, and the Reichstag fire that was blamed on Communists, [[GodwinsLaw helping Hitler achieve power]]. Who's to say the Wolf wasn't behind these?
# Series.LastWeekTonightWithJohnOliver: TeethClenchedTeamwork: John argues that the relationship between the American taxpayer and the IRS should be this. They're not a likable institution, and it sucks having to deal with them, but at the end of the day they are here to help you and
it's bloody hilarious.
not their fault that taxes are high or overly complicated. They definitely don't deserve to have their budget slashed by 20%, [[GodwinsLaw or to be compared to the Gestapo]], or to be forced to wipe down checks soaked in mustard.
# Website.AboveTopSecret: Even more so than other forum-based sites. Godwin's Law is just as pervasive, if not more so, than the Dirty Commies accusations.
# Creator.JKRowling: Used in her essay on Scottish independence when she compared some separatists to the Death Eaters after they accused her of not being Scottish enough to express an opinion.
# BeamMeUpScotty.{{Theatre}}: Another in-universe occurrence is in the musical Bye Bye Birdie. Having become frustrated with her fiancé, Rose makes the following remark about men: "They're all alike - from puberty to senility, from Benedict Arnold to [[GodwinsLaw Mussolini]]." Kim overhears Rosie and later truncates the quote in front of her parents: "Rosie was right! Men are all alike - from puberty to Mussolini!" (This causes her father, Harry, to complain about his daughter using such words in front of him.)
# Music.TheClash: The lines "If Adolf Hitler flew in today/They'd send a limousine anyway" in "(White Man) in Hammersmith Palais" actually work because the song is about Nazi skinheads ruining an all-night reggae concert.
# YMMV.DukeNukem: ValuesDissonance: Whilst Duke Nukem Does the Internet is well known for its Values Resonance, Duke mentions anarchists and druggies alongside Nazis, racists, homophobes and other unsavory types. With more people knowing more about Anarchism and the backlash to the War on Drugs, Duke mentioning those two groups alongside Nazis, racists, and homophobes seems like a case of [[GodwinsLaw Godwin's Law]], or at the very least reactionary.Though this is downplayed in that Duke's respect towards people of different skin colors and ethnicities, respect towards people who are women (even though he is a little too forward when it comes to flirting with the opposite sex), and also respect for people of different sexual orientations is surprisingly progressive for the 1990's.
# Theatre.JefferyBernardIsUnwell: Alluded to. Jeffrey: They always say they mean well. Hitler probably meant well...
# MoralEventHorizon.TabletopGames: Stefan Amaris is perhaps the only person in-universe who has been directly compared to Adolf Hitler. .. in fact, it wouldn't be surprising if a 3025 version of [[GodwinsLaw Godwin's Law]] actually named "Amaris' Law". His crossing of the horizon came when he executed the entirety of the Cameron family, and then left their bodies to rot in the throne room where they were executed.
# Series.ThatMitchellAndWebbLook: Comes up as two debaters compare each other to Stalin and Hitler respectively.
# JustForFun.TheGrandListOfForumAndCommunityLaws: Godwin's Law: As the length of a thread approaches infinity, the probability of a comparison involving Adolf Hitler or the Nazis approaches 1. Corollary: Outside of a small number of specific topics (for example, discussion of the British National Party), making such a comparison automatically loses the debate. Noob Corollary: The alternative to Hitler and Nazis is to call opponents "noobs". While this doesn't usually cause the user to instantly lose the argument, there's a decent chance they're not going to win anyway (moreso if they invoke this when calling someone a noob makes no sense).
# Series.RedEyeWithGregGutfeld: {{Catchphrase}}: Greg:"And if you disagree with me, then ''you'', sir. Are worse. [[GodwinsLaw Than HITLER!]] It's true." "If you disagree with me, then you're a racist, homophobic, (fill-in-the-blank)-ophobe." He often opened the Mail Time with "You write, I read..." followed by something involving blood or awesomeness, such as "You write, I read, then I run you over in a dune buggy made of FIRE!" Andy Levy often says, "I apologize for nothing," while Gutfeld "apologizes for everything." "Shut up, Bill" is one for both Greg and Andy. Mike Baker lampshaded this during the show Andy hosted, expressing his surprise that Andy 21 minutes before uttering that phrase.
# Webcomic.{{Xkcd}}: Referenced and parodied in this strip. Also, the suggested a screen consisting entirely of Hitler's face with flashing eyes would be preferable to Vista. Done in the Alt Text of this strip. The establishment doesn't take us seriously. You know who else they didn't take seriously? Hitler. I'll be like him, but a GOOD guy instead of... In "Every Major's Terrible" the singer compares choosing an academic major to Sophie's Choice.
# WebAnimation.TerribleWritingAdvice: Says in "Giving Criticism" that it is okay for a critic to compare a writer to any number of authoritarian leaders throughout history (with Adolf Hitler implied), and that the writer will totally take the critic seriously because of it. In "Propaganda", JP encourages comparing the viewer's hypothetical online opponent to Hitler regardless of what they've actually said, even referencing the trope by name.
# WarpThatAesop.{{Tropes}}: Any malicious or misleading argument can be lead back to Small Reference Pools of utter bastards, and nothing else in History class is worth retaining. Any comparison of an individual to a horrible tyrant or his regime (no matter how legitimate the comparison) is automatically invalid. It's okay to compare real oppression to being disagreed with or corrected. Learning and applying history makes you a bad debater.
# GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff.ComicBooks: In the Brian Michael Bendis graphic novel Jinx, two guys talk about Hasselhoff and why he (and his music) is so popular: "I don't know, man, I keep hearing he's, like, huge in Germany and shit, as big as Elvis..." "Oh! Well, that's two good ideas the Germans have had: [[GodwinsLaw putting people into ovens]], and listening to that shit. You'll excuse me if I don't go running out to buy it on their say so."

# Literature.DoAndroidsDreamOfElectricSheep: Broken Aesop: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is somewhat divisive, with two very different interpretations and resulting reactions.On the one hand, Roger Ebert compared Deckard to [[GodwinsLaw "A Nazi measuring noses"]], and AI advocates compare the story to The Birth of a Nation for AI. On the other hand, many take away from the story the moral that the difference between appearance of a thing and the actuality of its identity (emotion/compassion apparently being the deontological decider for humanity) are moot: "If it talks, speaks, and thinks like a person, it is a person." It also questions if there is a difference between sentience and programmed routine, and what constitutes self-awareness. What, after all, is the difference between an AI given the ability to simulate emotion via Transferable Memory, and Deckard's wife experiencing artificial emotion from her empathy box?
# Funny.ToddInTheShadows2013Episodes: "In the 90s, we had the boy band wars, which was a terrible time for music, but ultimately, both sides ended up destroyed. I choose to liken it to World War II. Both [[GodwinsLaw Nazism]] and Stalinism threatened the free world, but ended up fighting each other, leaving one defeated and the other unable to do more than burn itself out trying to keep up over the next few decades. Now I do realize that I can say controversial things sometimes, but I think we can all agree, comparing the Backstreet Boys to Hitler is entirely accurate and proportional."
# ComicBook.WinterSoldier: Defied by Bucky, who thinks that if he has to compare everything to fighting Nazis, he won't be able to complain about anything.
# TheAvengers.TropesEToL: Invoked, appropriately enough, by Captain America, who compares Loki to the man he dealt with "the last time I was in Germany." He may technically have been referring to Red Skull rather than Hitler but they were both Nazi and he could be referring to both of them. Same by the elderly German in the same scene who refuses to kneel. Elderly man: There are always men like you.
# GenreTurningPoint.LiveActionTV: In 1968, American network ABC was a distant third to its rivals CBS and NBC. Unable to compete with their news departments' coverage of the Democratic and Republican Party conventions that summer, ABC News instead hosted a series of debates between two intellectuals and bitter ideological rivals, the conservative William F. Buckley Jr. and the leftist Gore Vidal. The insults flew fast and furious — among other highlights, Vidal called Buckley a [[GodwinsLaw "crypto-Nazi"]], to which Buckley responded by calling Vidal a "queer" and threatening to punch him in the face. On that stage, the modern image of the Pompous Political Pundit, and the format for the "talking head" political Talk Show, arrived on television in the form of Buckley and Vidal with their back-and-forth insults, while ABC and its news department went from a perennial also-ran to a major player in American television, joining CBS and NBC as one of the Big Three networks.
# UsefulNotes.GermanLanguage: EI / AI: Pronounced like in "guy". It's Heil, not Hiel. EY and AY are old-fashioned spellings that still occur in many names (see below).
# NationalStereotypes.EasternEurope: Because of its unusual religious tolerance at certain points in history, Jews flocked to Poland and so Jews have made up a large portion of the Polish population for a long time. Poland had the largest Jewish population in the world until, well, [[GodwinsLaw those Nazis again.]] There was a massive post-war emigration and a lot of the Polish Jews ended up in America (and Israel — during the first 20-30 years of its existence, Knesset debate would sometimes be held in Polish as angry [=MKs=] of Polish origin lapsed into their native tongue).

# Literature.TheSecretAgent: AdaptationNameChange: The 2016 mini-series changes the main character's name from "Adolf" to "Anton". While it's not uncommon to do this - Adolf being an uncommon name these days that might arguably [[GodwinsLaw distract audiences]] from the story - what's interesting is the 1996 film chose not to do so.
# Theatre.{{Rope}}: A discussion of Nietzsche and Brandon believing in the concept of supermen prompts the response "so did Hitler" from David's father.
# UsefulNotes.AmericanNewspapers: [=CounterPunch:=] Founded by Alexander Cockburn (who had previously worked for The Nation) in 1994, it covers politics and social issues with a heavily left-wing stance. It has over time made its radical and staunchly leftist credentials loud and clear, considerably more so than The Nation. On the other hand, its tendency for hosting anti-Semitic screeds and the crankier sides of the left-wing, along with a very confrontational if not fervent overtone in its journalismnote Which includes [[GodwinsLaw comparing figures like George W. Bush to Hitler]] among other things has made it infamous.
# VisualNovel.DaughterForDessert: An in-universe example that is off the internet. When Heidi tries to take the car keys from a very drunk MC, he calls her a “Nazi bitch.” Needless to say, she is less than pleased when he shows up again, and she repays the insult by charging him double for drinks.
# Creator.PhilipKDick: BewareTheSuperman: Dick suggested this from time to time, but rarely had the opportunity to write about it, as John W. Campbell preferred to compare Mutants to Persecuted Intellectuals. Dick had [[GodwinsLaw a different opinion]], which resulted in The Golden Man. Dick: Here I am also saying that mutants are dangerous to us ordinaries, a view which John W. Campbell, Jr. deplored. We were supposed to view them as our leaders. But I always felt uneasy as to how they would view us. I mean, maybe they wouldn't want to lead us. Maybe from their superevolved lofty level we wouldn't seem worth leading. Anyhow, even if they agreed to lead us, I felt uneasy as to where we would wind up going. It might have something to do with buildings marked SHOWERS but which really weren't.
# Anime.YuGiOh5Ds: AmbiguouslyBrown: Roman, who has no discernible ethnic background, is always depicted with a medium to dark brown skin tone. This may be an attempt to skirt [[GodwinsLaw Godwin's Law]] given Roman's blond hair, blue eyes and decidedly German name, or simply to provide an interesting visual contrast with his younger brother and obscure his familial relationship until he reveals it himself in episode 46.
# Recap.WithThisRingEpisode93: Somewhat deconstructed. Raquel doesn't want to hear any of Paul's arguments about how Overgirl hasn't actually committed any crimes and could be redeemable, since Overgirl is literally a Nazi, and that's enough for Raquel to conclude that she's evil. Paul: The point is, though she would take part in a genocide if asked, she never has. Likewise, she hasn't ferreted disabled people out of hiding to send them to the camps because there aren't any. She hasn't had the opportunity to do the evil she'd be willing to do. What she's actually done is crime fighting and disaster relief. So is she evil- Raquel: Yes. Paul: -or a good person working for an evil state?

# OvershadowedByControversy.RealLife: Graham Linehan, once best known for creating the sitcoms Father Ted and The IT Crowd, has had his reputation tainted by his virulent anti-transgender views, including [[GodwinsLaw comparing trans activists to Nazis]] and trying to have a £500,000 grant for the trans support charity Mermaids UK revoked. His anti-trans views resulted in the permanent suspension of his Twitter account and his wife divorcing him.
# WebVideo.FUDW: In the episode concerning "D.W. Blows the Whistle", Matt states that Arthur saying that D.W. sometimes gets carried away is like saying Hitler once got carried away in Poland.

# YMMV.{{Stereolab}}: VindicatedByHistory: When Cobra and Phases Group first came out, it was hit with criticism from critics, but nowadays it's often viewed as a solid album. In fact, in some cases you can actually see the critics changing their mind on the album: Sometime after July 2019, [=AllMusic=] completely rewrote their review of the album, bumping its rating from two-and-a-half stars (out of five) up to four. NME utterly slagged on the album, with a review that opens "Well, you have to admit they’re good at what they do.

Is the Empire the last, best hope for ensuring humanity's prosperity and survival against the genocidal Thalmor, or are they brutal oppressors holding on to a shadow of their former glory who crossed the line trying to appease the Thalmor? Are the Stormcloaks a bunch of heroic freedom fighters pushing a now-impotent empire out of their land and the Only Sane Men who know the only real way to deal with the Thalmor, or are they a bunch of bull-headed, racist idiots that are unwittingly giving the Thalmor exactly what they want and ultimately are just as bad as the Thalmor? Were they all developed enough or no?
# Webcomic.PrincessPi: Used by the Totally Nazis, but more often in reference to people they hate.Practiced in "Princess Pi vs. The Alpha Bitch", when Sam's attorney says anyone who arrests her would be Hitler. Practiced again in "Sam Adams vs. True Love": Sam warns classmate Ty Chiselbottom that if he doesn't dump her fat girlfriend, she'll never develop the desire to lose weight, and she'll die just because he made her feel content with her portly figure. You know what that makes you? A Nazi! And not the cool kind of Nazi, I mean the bad kind!
# Series.{{Brockmire}}: Jim somehow ties spitting your chew on the floor to being like Hitler while off-screen.
# Recap.CommunityS4E04AlternativeHistoryOfTheGermanInvasion: The study group is labeled as Nazis by the other students for the crime of... selfishly over-extending their use of the study room without consideration for other people who might want to use it.
# QuestionableContent.TropesEToH: Invoked and lampshaded in strip 1020. The only thing dumber than an argument on the internet is the same argument in real life.
# TopGearUK.TropesDToG: Subverted in Jeremy and James' "Grosser vs. Corniche" competition. James talks down Jeremy's Grosser by listing the names of several infamous dictators who owned his car including; Saddam Hussein, Fidel Castro, Hirohito, Mao Tse Tung, and Pol Pot.Played straight in the UK Convertible segment of Series 2, Episode 8, where a woman in the audience in the audience compliments the design of the Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet, and Jeremy says "Hitler designed it, you do know that, don't you?".

# WebVideo.{{Jacksfilms}}: "Literally", which is a collection of tweets that misuse the eponymous word. The ending card reads “Friends don’t let friends misuse the word ‘literally’. If not, you’re literally Hitler”.
# YMMV.DukeNukem: ValuesDissonance: Whilst Duke Nukem Does the Internet is well known for its Values Resonance, Duke mentions anarchists and druggies alongside Nazis, racists, homophobes and other unsavory types. With more people knowing more about Anarchism and the backlash to the War on Drugs, Duke mentioning those two groups alongside Nazis, racists, and homophobes seems like a case of GodwinsLaw, or at the very least reactionary.
# Quotes.DhanaRagnarok: Commander Obvious Most Triumphant Example of GodwinsLaw everytime you enter a thread - godwins law holds light
# Fanfic.CampNightmare: In-Universe - Calvin compares the camp to Auschwitz. Ironic, given that the camp is on par with that place...
# Literature.TheKiteRunner: AllGermansAreNazis: Subverted. Half-German Assef is a walking example of GodwinsLaw, but his German mother seems to disapprove of his Hitler-worship (but she's too timid to say anything).
# Recap.GilmoreGirlsS06E14: Downplayed: Even Hitler came out of his bunker once in a while. Paris never comes out of her cardboard fortress that serves as her office in the newsroom.
# Characters.BlackBullet: Only in the light novels. To be more precise, Rentaro compares him to Adolf Hitler on how they both take advantages of tragedies and wars, reunite the people, and use the advantage as a means of establishing a military superpower to Take Over the World. Also help to note that he is part of a Right-Wing Militia Fanatic organization, as revealed at the end of the Fugitive Arc.
# VideoGame.BattleTech2018: The Magistracy's leadership is backing Kamea's revolution for a handful of reasons.First, having a neighboring star system's ruler in your debt is never a bad thing. Second, Kamea's usurper uncle seems to think Stefan Amaris is a positive role model. Leading to the third, as the Aurigan Reach's neighbors are in a Cold War, and she's concerned that some shortsighted move from Espinosa will turn it hot, so she'd prefer to avoid that by backing the usurped ruler that has a cooler head in a Civil War, giving the neighbors time to cool down further. Espinosa proves himself to be one in the opening mission — not only was he able to turn the majority of the Royal Guard against Kamea, he and his daughter also arranged for the engineers to sabotage any Mech belonging to someone not part of the conspiracy. Raju calls Victoria out for her Evil Gloating given that she won through subterfuge instead of a stand-up fight.
# Pantheon.NegativeReaction: Pippi Longstocking would like to remind you that just because she's from Europe doesn't make her associated with Hitler. Neither does she think it's a funny joke.
# WebVideo.PieGuyRulz: Subverted in his "iOMG" review. In this episode, Carly locks Spencer in a chamber and gasses him with horrible stimuli unexpectedly, which Pieguy compares to...GLaDOS.
# Fanfic.TheBoltChronicles: Lampshaded humorously by Mittens in "The Survivor" when she invokes Adolf Hitler during a conversation with her canine friend Petey, saying this will bring their conversation to a close. Petey: [referring to what determines whether you get adopted by a good or bad owner] Of course, some folks think it's fate or karma. Hope it’s not karma in your case, otherwise you must have been a really, really, bad kitty in your previous life. Mittens: [laughing] That's me — the Hitler of the feline set way back when. And now that I’ve invoked Godwin's Law, I guess that officially terminates our conversation on the subject.
# IThoughtItMeant.SToT: Stupid Jetpack Hitler is not how someone feels who keeps getting interfered by Adolf Hitler flying around on a jetpack.
# PlayingWith.DigitalPiracyIsEvil: The RIT, explicitly and without a hint of irony, says that if you download one song, you're worse than Hitler. The RIT sends out ninjas, assassins, and hit men out to kill you if you pirate just one of their songs.
# Recap.TheGoodFightS05E07: Wackner loses his temper when Marissa questions his integrity. When he reviews the video, he calls himself Pol Pot and Ceaucescu.
# Headscratchers.ValkyriaChronicles: Does emperor Maximilian have some kind of weird, racist Darcsen fetish? I mean, it seems like most Gallians won't touch a Darcsen with the end of a long stick, and the implication is that the Empire is far more racist than them... Yet when he tries to force Cordelia to marry him, and she shows him that she is actually a Darcsen, he isn't disgusted, he is pleased! Is that some kind of secret perversion of him or something? Do they consider it one in Europa?he probably appreciates the irony, and he is less racist than most of the good guysThere were virtulent Nazi bigwigs who chose mistresses right out of the camps they controlled. To say nothing of the fact that not everybody in a racist totalitarian state believes in the prejudices, even amongst the leadership. It's a strange concept but it is possible for someone to marry a woman from a race they hate. H.P. Lovecraft married a Jew and he still yelled anti-Semitic slurs in public.
# Film.IronJawedAngels: Nominally averted, since Adolf Hitler is still a no-name Corporal on the Western Front. However, one of the angry sailors at a protest yells something to the effect of "MAYBE YOU'D RATHER GO TO GERMANY?!"note He might have been surprised how many suffragettes, even back then, replied with a Blunt "Yes".
# Recap.GilmoreGirlsS03E09: Lorelai compares Emily to Joseph Stalin.
# Series.TheGruenTransfer: The first episode of the 2010 series included a discussion of the use of Adolf Hitler in advertising.
# Recap.TheSimpsonsS20E12NoLoanAgainNaturally: The news piece on Ned paints him to be "the worse person who ever lived" by morphing a smiling normal picture of him into a devil-like creature with fire-red skin, a scowl on his face, a Hitler mustache and wearing a Detroit Lions fan t-shirt.
# Funny.FawltyTowers: This is typical. Absolutely typical... of the kind of... ARSE I have to put up with from you people! You ponce in here, expecting to be handwaited on hand and foot while I'm trying to run a hotel here! Have you any idea of how much there is to do? Do you ever think of that? Of course not! You're all too busy sticking your noses into every corner, poking around for things to complain about, aren't you? Well, let me tell you something—this is exactly how Nazi-Germany started! A lot of layabouts with nothing better to do than to cause trouble! Well, I've had fifteen years of pandering to the likes of you, and I've had enough! I've had it! Come on, pack your bags and get out! RAUS! RAUS! RAUS!
# Series.TakinOverTheAsylum: Campbell compares Evelyn to a Nazi a couple of times.
# PlayingWith.CatsAreMean: Alex the Cat always pick fights with rats, dogs and other cats, to the point even kittens are victims of this. Alex the cat is possessed by the Devil. The author portrays cats as Always Chaotic Evil. The cats start a program whereby mice are systematically tortured and enslaved. Alternatively: the author combines this with GodwinsLaw and portrays cats as Nazis. Alex the Cat is a profoundly wicked alley cat who torments and kills dozens of smaller animals (and even his previous owner) out of sheer sadism.
# Series.Warehouse13: In "Duped", Alice Liddell, trapped in Lewis Carrol's mirror. The entire Bronze Sector, first seen in the season 1 finale, which houses people so evil that they could have "become the next Hitler." The female H. G. Wells escaped from here, though she claims to be not so much evil as very depressed at the time. Also the Sealed Evil In a Can Of Sardines from "Merge With Caution." Seen in "We All Fall Down", the blue orchid artifact, which unleashes a deadly plague that can kill in 24 hours, is sealed in an impenetrable container.
# AuthorTract.{{Music}}: Much of Green Day's American Idiot album contains constant Take Thats against the George W. Bush administration. One song on the album, "Holiday", despite already being an Author Tract manages to still have an Author Filibuster where the song stops for the singer to Strawman Political Arnold Schwarzenegger and George Bush directly through spoken word, complete with pulling a Godwin. Only a couple of tracks on the album ("Holiday" and "American Idiot" especially) are explicitly political, though, with the main focus of the album being a narrative about disaffected youths. Most assume the entire album is nothing but political ranting because the two most Anvilicious songs were released as singles and, consequentially, received the most airplay
# Recap.GilmoreGirlsS05E21: For once, Emily forgives Lorelai for unfavorably comparing her to Pol Pot almost immediately.
# ComicBook.WinterSoldier: Defied by Bucky, who thinks that if he has to compare everything to fighting Nazis, he won't be able to complain about anything.
# Arthur.TropesAToD: "The Pride of Lakewood", a toned-down version of The Wave... and we all know what that was about...
# Sandbox.MUGEN: The "X-Form" of The_None's Skullman has a counter move in which he hits the opponent while being shaped like a swastika. And yes, an Omega Adolf Hitler character exists. As well as an anime one, with sounds from Downfall
# Recap.DoctorWhoS30E4TheSontaranStratagem: Ross the UNIT soldier compares Rattigan's followers to the Hitler Youth. It has dawn excercise and special diets and stuff.
# Recap.Runaways2017S01E05: When Alex argues in favor of saving Andre from PRIDE he mentions he's Just Following Orders from Darius, which leads Gert to compare that defense to the one argued by Nazis.
# RobotChicken.TropesAToH: Gargamel invokes this upon himself after he is found guilty and sentenced to life in prison for racial crimes against The Smurfs (1981). He tries to clarify in his defense that all he was trying to do was completely wipe out and eradicate every last Smurf off the face of the Earth. The judge points out that he just gave the textbook definition of "Genocide". Gargamel: Oh... soooo... me and Hitler, huh?
# Literature.DonCamillo: Subverted, as in the heat of the moment opposing characters show no hesitation to call each other fascists, e. g. Peppone sarcastically calling Don Camillo "Duce" and Gina Filotti needling Peppone by referring to him as podestà - the term for "mayor" under Fascism - instead of sindaco.
# Funny.HipsterHitler: Godwin's law.
# YMMV.MortalKombatDeception: Hotaru is frequently demonized to a degree greater than the way he is presented in canon with some detractors going to the extreme of claiming he is A Nazi by Any Other Name. While it is true that he is a Legalist and possibly can also be interpreted as an Authoritarianist (though one with Utilitarian motivations), but there is no concrete evidence that he holds views that resemble those of fascism (unless one is going by the looser definition of the term). Even if Hotaru holds such a philosophy, to claim that the makers of Mortal Kombat are condoning this detestable ideology is as absurd as claiming that Marvel Comics condones the likes of the Red Skull by his mere existence in their fictional universe.
# Webcomic.{{Sinfest}}: On another level, the horrors of the "Anti-Nazi Goggles" would probably hit a bit harder if not for the fact that the strip in its modern form directly and openly compares social media companies to Nazis (to the point that even their headquarters are designed to look like scenes straight out of Nazi Germany) because they ban right-wing pundits who break their site rules, and explicitly endorsed running over rioters with a vehicle, something that in the context of American politics is itself widely considered to be at best an act of vigilantism and at worst an act of terrorism.
# TropeNamers.RealLife: <a title=: GodwinsLaw)Hitler Ate Sugar Hitler Cam Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act Springtime for Hitler Stupid Jetpack Hitler
# Recap.FamilyGuyS21E16TheBirdReich: Poked fun at. When Lois yells at Peter for owning a bird that used to belong to Hitler, Peter counters that "That's, like, 40% of Americans right now", a jab at the Republican party.
# Characters.SouthParkElementarySchoolStaff: He's a douche, but he would never use his progressive views to try and get laid. He even calls in a meeting with the other PC bros to tell them that doing so is insincere and manipulative. By Season 21, he's started to get sick of Cartman constantly demanding he help him feel better about himself in school. Season 25 shows he does not appreciate it when the students compare him not giving them whatever it is they want to Nazi Germany and he's repeatedly told them not to trivialize the Nazis by doing so.
# PlayingWith.MoreHateableMinorVillain: Evulz commits horrific atrocities daily and loves doing so, but the heroes treat him like a sad abused puppy because of his Freudian Excuse. Meanwhile, Charlie the school bully is mean to Alice and steals money from her once and the heroes are out for his blood, even calling him worse than Hitler.
# YMMV.TheAdventuresOfSuperman: "The Clan of the Fiery Cross" has messages that still hold up well;Americans of different races and religions deserve the same respect as everyone else. Do not give into fear in the face of violence and intolerance, you will only give your oppressors what they want and let them get stronger. People who exploit racial tensions care more about power and money than any kind of ideals. The storyline more than once compares the Klan to the Nazis. As Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups have become increasingly tied with the Neo Nazis, this comparison proved highly prophetic.
# Characters.Frozen50sMan: He uses the phrase by name when it turns out the Q he's been working for is actually a living, breathing Nazi and not a heroic American freedom fighter working in secret from within the government.
# Recap.TheNostalgiaCriticS2E4: Critic compares the scene where Kurt is giving the employees a dictator-like speech, with speeches by the Fuhrer, complete with fast food related English subtitles. "HEIL MONDO BURGER!" He later calls Mondo Burger "Hitler Burger". Hitler: And don't forget the fries with that! God HELP you if you forget the fries with that!
# PlayingWith.PompousPoliticalPundit: Bob compares tolerance of homosexuality, religious and ethnic minorities, environmentalism, and Keynesian economics to Communism at least Once per Episode. Alice compares gun rights, Chicago economics, people who aren’t vegan, the fossil fuel industries, and internet memes to Nazism at least Once per Episode. Every single person in the entire studio is a Pompous Political Pundit.
# Creator.WilliamFBuckleyJr: Buckley absolutely despised being called a fascist or a Nazi, or any association of conservatism with those ideologies. Exchanges on his show would become noticeably more tense if this occurred or was even hinted at, and Gore Vidal pressing it caused him to completely lose his cool. This might have been a response to dubious political choices early in his career (see Old Shame below).
# Recap.SuccessionS04E06: Attempted by Matsson, whose tweet seems to compare Living+ to the Holocaust. Kendall, who learns of this during the Q&A, is able to allay the audience's concerns. Shiv privately convinces Matsson to delete the tweet.
# LetsPlay.{{Videogamedunkey}}: In his "Escape from Hell" video, most of his team gets caught in the jungle, prompting Dunkey to complain, "My team is Hitler on four computers."In the sequel video, "Escape from Gold," there is a player named SneakyAdolf who is farming minions during a team fight. Dunkey refers to the player as "the real Hitler."
# Characters.KingOfTheHillTheHillsFamilyAndOtherRelatives: Cotton is an abusive father and husband. One time, he was even seen using Tilly as a footstool, and holds Peggy in ill regard. However, when he sees Peggy in her body cast following her near-fatal skydiving accident, Cotton immediately assumes it's Hank's fault and is disgusted with him. "Hank, what'd you do to your wife? I didn't teach you that!" He may be politically incorrect, but he won't tolerate someone mis-identifying someone else's ethnicity. When Dale referred to Kahn as Japanese Cotton correctly identified Kahn as Laotian. When meeting Tilly's new boyfriend, he correctly identifies his surname as Jewish as says he had the honor of serving alongside a Jewish soldier in the war. He can be mildly racist at times but he also hates Nazis. Which makes sense considering he was a WWII vet (albeit in the Pacific, not Europe). He's especially annoyed when Luanne's spoiled roommate calls him one.
# TropesThatWillNeverHappen.TooObscureOrBizarre: Godwinns' Law. That is, instead of comparing people to Nazis, you disparage them by comparing them to a crappy hillbilly tag team. Useless outside of wrestling forums.
# TropesThatWillNeverHappen.TooDangerous: Getting Swastikas Painted On Your Soul
# Administrivia.TropesNeedingTRS: This has over 900 wicks, but it doesn't have a single example on-page. Yet it's not listed as "definition only." So what is it, precisely, and why is it here?
# MeaningfulName.VideoGames: Suikoden V has the Godwin clan. Who pursue a policy of militarism and genocide against nonhumans. They also employ an assassin named Dolph. Several places in the game have meaningful names as well, most notably Hatred Fortress, built by the Godwins to prevent water from reaching Lordlake.
# Fanfic.FutureTense: At one point Rio Wesley and Teana meet each other and they start fighting, throwing insults at each other like "fascist dictator" and "flat-chested anarchist". After a little while, Rio Wesley calls Teana Hitler, with the later standing confused and asking who that is supposed to be.
# AtopTheFourthWall.TropesAToD: While recapping Ultimatum: - and Magneto killed Dr. Xavier for comparing him to a mass murderer, when all he did was kill a bunch of people.
# YMMV.GilmoreGirls: In "One's Got Class And The Other One Dyes", Debbie and a few other parents become enraged when Lorelai says that she didn't regret having Rory when a bunch of high schoolers asked her about her pregnancy while Lorelai was trying to give a career speech. While whether or not the mothers' accusations that Lorelai was glamorizing Teen Pregnancy were justified is a debate of its own, they do bring up a good point that Lorelai could've just turned down answering the questions in the first place to ignore any potential unfortunate implications. Definitely doesn't help that Lorelai's only response to the statement was a Nazi joke.
# Recap.RickAndMortyS7E8RiseOfTheNumbericonsTheMovie: SoWasX: GodwinsLaw is in full swing during this exchange between Morty and Lithium-P: Morty: Lowercase means smaller. We get it. P: Feels like I'm being punished for clarity. Morty: Punished? Jesus. I asked a question. P: So did Hitler.
# YMMV.ZhirinovskysRussianEmpire: In one scene, a UIS diplomat comically accuses his Estonian counterparts of being Nazis. A year after the scene was posted, the Russians in real life notably accused Ukrainian pro-democracy activists of being Neo-Nazis when they rose up in protest against their corrupt government.
# Funny.MothersBasement: Him playing the famous "are we the baddies?'' clip while discussing the obvious China stand-in's new government using Swastikas as their iconography despite their ideology not having any apparant connections to "Hisler". He even censors the swastikas with a low-res cat headnote The cat in question is actually Geoff's cat Kuro, who passed away shortly after this video was made for the rest of the video while wondering why the writers didn't make the Big Bad a follower of Catboy Satan instead of using the one symbol that justifies anyone just punching you... "in Minecraft!" (Clip of Emperor Tathagata Killer with a Creeper texture over his mask.)The Chapter of the video refers to The Mystical Laws as The Law of Godwin.
# Webcomic.PennyArcade: Tycho runs afoul of this.
# Funny.VinesauceJoelROMHacksandMods: Joel: What the fuck have I done to this game, man?! (picks up Magic 8-Ball pentagram) Can you tell me what I did wrong? Magic 8-Ball Pentagram: NO Joel: (drops it) Aaugh!
# UsefulNotes.WorldWarII: Unfortunately, though the war is long past, the ugly shadow of Nazi Germany endures, and inevitably colors some perceptions of the German people or some political debates and Internet discussions.
# WarpThatAesop.AnimeAndManga: Let your pet monster of darkness off the leash to save the day. The most effective way to combat evil is with an even greater evil. Protestants hang out with bloodthirsty monsters. Catholics kill you with cake knives. GodwinsLaw: The Nazis really are still behind everything.
# Series.SweetVicious: Chloe and the Lindsays, the leaders of the Kappa Kappa Phi sorority, are a particularly nasty example, cruelly abusing pledges and filming it for a fetish site. Ophelia describes Chloe as "the love child of a CrossFit instructor and Mussolini." Ophelia's mother Bobbi was this when she went to Darlington, coming up with at least one of the Kappas' hazing rituals herself.
# Film.OneTwoThree: In a sign of maybe not the healthiest marriage, Phyllis refers to her husband as "Mein Führer."
# YMMV.TotalWarWarhammerII: Much like Durthu before him, fans seem to enjoy referring to Tehenhauin as Lizard Hitler, due to the fact that one of the abilities gained through rituals done by Tehenhauin allows him to start a race war between the Lizardmen and the Skaven.
# Series.ChildhoodsEnd: One of the Freedom League adverts compares the Overlords to Hitler, in that their seeming benevolence will give way to something evil.
# WebVideo.ThirdRateGamer: At the beginning of one episode, Billy gives TRG some fanart. It's a picture of Adolf Hitler with blonde hair and mustache.
# YMMV.ADream: The phrase, "Valiant did nothing wrong" has been seen repeatedly both in the comments and In-Universe. The author has brought up how Twilight (and many others) would consider this like saying, "Hitler was completely innocent."
# Recap.FawltyTowersS2E3WaldorfSalad: This trope is older than the Internet: "You ponce in here expecting to be hand-waited on hand and foot, well I'm trying to run a hotel here! Have you any idea of how much there is to do?! Do you ever think of that?! No, of course not: you're too busy sticking your noses into every corner, poking about for things to complain about! Well, let me tell you something: this is EXACTLY how Nazi Germany started!"
# YMMV.RivieraThePromisedLand: Oh, so you want the only available non-drop Rosier in the game with multiple uses? S-Rank a Bomb Kid and never let any of them use their Overskills on you. (read: Suffer.) Mention skipping stones to anybody who has played Riviera to completion, especially if they tried to play a high-score run. To quote one Let's Player: Didja Redo: Hey, Heinrich Himmler called. He wants to know if you're offering cruelty lessons.
# Recap.TheNostalgiaCriticS4E34: At the beginning when the Critic is taking questions from the audience: Man: Melvin the Brother of the Joker, Emo Jones, this recent Let's Play, Nazi Germany. That is all.
# WebVideo.{{Walulis}}: BlackComedyBurst: Whenever Phillipp raises his finger, one can assume that this is about to happen, frequently in combination with GodwinsLaw.
# Radio.TheUnbelievableTruth: In series 28, episode 1, during Tony Hawk's lecture on candles, discussing turns to rhubarb and gooseberries. David compares the two items to Stalin and Hitler, respectively, prompting much snarking at him.
# ComicBook.UltimateSpiderMan: "Hitler called, he wants his look back." That was Aunt May from Ultimate Spider-Man. At J. freaking Jonah freaking Jameson.
# WMG.TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemenPart3: An axe wielding psychopathic ex-cop with Werner syndrome is often compared to Hynkel in the Villain community.
# Sandbox.FrivolousLawsuitRealLifeCutoffTen: After that, Charles Carreon lost it, and began suing everyone under the sun. When he tried to sue a satire site for libel, he managed to make himself a public figure, thus protecting the site under parody laws. His wife invoked GodwinsLaw on critics, and ultimately Carreon had to pay $46,100 to the satire site.
# Recap.MashS1E7BananasCrackersAndNuts: Hawkeye tells Henry, "Every time you go, he [Frank] turns into instant Hitler." Although, given that the Korean War started only five years after the end of World War II, the reference would probably come across as less tired in the show's time period.
# YMMV.ToddInTheShadows: Now I do realize that I can say controversial things sometimes, but I think we can all agree, comparing the Backstreet Boys to Hitler is entirely accurate and proportional."
# Recap.SwampThingVolume2Issue53TheGardenOfEarthlyDelights: Young gang members from Gotham's Manchester district take advantage of the chaos by releasing animals from the zoo in the Coventry area. One gang-banger then boasts about it on TV: Hey Coventry, listen up. You're in trouble, maan. We set a swamp juju on your American Nazi Party ass.
# Literature.SongOfSolomon: In-universe, Guitar tries to cite the Nazis' actions as proof that Whites are inherently evil.
# Characters.TheNostalgiaCriticTheCriticTropesNToZ: In the Child's Play 2 review; "Yeah, when you're going to tie up a child, do it for the same reason I would. To beat him." Because that sounds like the guy who invokes GodwinsLaw on someone who is an asshole to their kids and then leaves them.
# Film.StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry: Kirk makes a comparison between the Klingon's request for "living space" with Hitler's demands for Lebensraum at the diplomatic dinner (whilst not being very diplomatic). Needlessly to say, this comparison goes down really really badly. Becomes worse when the two Klingons most likely to get it are the traitorous conspiratorial one obsessed with Earth culture and the one who had probably done his research on their planet and history for the forthcoming peace talks. I.e. the two worst of the group to offend with the comparison. However, the latter understood Kirk's old prejudice perfectly and didn't hold it against him, and the former probably goaded Kirk to say that.
# YMMV.ArkhamPatientSessions: Is Jeremiah Arkham really all there? Sure he seems mild-mannered, and he appears to be trying his best to cure the Arkham patients, but his lack of success in doing so, his demonstrable lack of professionalism (like his brutal "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Dr. Death) and some of the extreme methods he takes (such as using Electric Torture on The Riddler) make one wonder just how pure his intentions are.Scarecrow and Black Mask both suggest that Dr. Arkham has a hidden darker side, Black Mask even comparing him to Josef Mengele. When Arkham starts threatening to turn the violent inmates loose on Black Mask by telling them he knows Batman’s secret identity, Black Mask takes it as confirmation of his point. The season finale has the Scarecrow psychology torturing Jeremiah Arkham into insanity, though Arkham’s family history and personal behavior as described by Scarecrow suggest Arkham may have always been at least slightly mad.
# PlayingWith.TautologicalTemplar: The Lawful Stupid Tomoe, proud solder of The Empire, knows that she's one of the good guys — she's a soldier for justice! And that means she does nothing but good deeds, and punishes the baddies! Even that puppy was evil! Bob is a member of La Résistance, and he labels everything he doesn't like as pro-empire whether its accurate or not. This self-justification allows him to hurt innocent people without feeling any form of guilt or remorse
# DarthWiki.HowNotToWriteAnExample: Always have lot's of conversation. Yeah! Always add two or more asterisk to you’re example and make sure to place it between other examples with two or more asteroid. Surely, that won’t mess up anything with the context of any examples before or after Have to agree with that! Totally! Who can deny it? I have to disagree. You know who else disagreed? Hitler! Are you saying you're the same as Hitler? That reminds me of this one time, at band camp... Hey, why'd you stop your story? I really want to hear about what happened at your band camp. We all know what happened at band camp. Hey, you guys forgot to incrementally indent your replies.
# Radio.TheAdventuresOfSuperman: The Clan of the Fiery Cross is one long jab at the Ku Klux Klan, using a thinly veiled pastiche to mock the KKK for its illegal activities, while deriding them as cowards and repeatedly comparing them to the Nazis.
# Film.AFewGoodMen: Kaffee proposes using this as the basis for his court defense of Downey and Dawson: they were ordered by superior officers to discipline Santiago, and their "Code Red" just got out of hand. Weinberg retorts that that line of defense didn't work at Nuremberg and it didn't work at My Lai and it's not going to work now. Kaffee fires back that the difference with the Marines is that they were just carrying out a routine order they didn't think would result in any physical harm. But of course, Code Reds are illegal, regardless of what harm might ensue, so their clients should properly have refused the order. Kaffee ultimately gets them acquitted of the most serious charges largely by tricking their CO into admitting on the stand that he had given said illegal orders.
# Woobie.LiveActionTV: Has two surprising woobies, one is a gay Nazi and the other is a Gestapo agent. Yes, that's right, GodwinsLaw notwithstanding, people who watch this show do feel sorry for Lt. Gruber and Agent von Smallhausen. To be fair though, they can't help that they are citizens of Nazi Germany, who have ended up serving their country in the occupied France.
# NationalStereotypes.EasternEurope: Because of its unusual religious tolerance at certain points in history, Jews flocked to Poland and so Jews have made up a large portion of the Polish population for a long time. Poland had the largest Jewish population in the world until, well, those Nazis again. There was a massive post-war emigration and a lot of the Polish Jews ended up in America (and Israel — during the first 20-30 years of its existence, Knesset debate would sometimes be held in Polish as angry MKs of Polish origin lapsed into their native tongue). Perhaps because of that, most of the Polish people who float around in the American cultural consciousness are of Jewish descent and identify mostly with Jewish culture (Isaac Bashevis Singer, Jerzy Kosinski, etc.) so there tends to be some conflation between Jewish and Polish stereotypes in the American media.
# Funny.TheNewOrderLastDaysOfEurope: One of the later focuses is about painting the NPP as a bunch of fascists with election campaign rhetoric. What's it called? "Everyone I Don't Agree With Is HITLER!" It even uses the Memetic Mutation displayed on the main page as its icon. "Well, they are!"
# Literature.GoSetAWatchman: Scout compares Atticus to Hitler during their confrontation. Atticus just smiles.
# Funny.TheSpoonyExperiment: Comparing the church of New Yevon to the neonazis comes so much out of nowhere that it's bloody hilarious.
# Literature.TheArtsOfDarkAndLight: GreatOffscreenWar: The war against the Witchkings a number of centuries back, which broke the back of the kingdoms of the elves and enabled the rise of Amorr and Savondir as the main great powers of the setting. Whether seen as history (by the humans) or living memory (by the elves), everyone still recognizes how important it was. In the setting, it's treated much like World War II is in real life, as a great defining political and cultural event, and the Witchkings are still invoked in rhetoric as the one supreme great evil, much like a sort of fantasy version of GodwinsLaw.
# Music.OysteinSunde: From the end of "Du må'kke komme her og komme her": Sunde: All right, you're saying you're Just Following Orders, but they said that in 1945 too, and that didn't suffice!
# Recap.FamilyGuyS4E10ModelMisbehavior: The Cookie Monster tells the mental hospital doctors that they're Nazis when they sedate him.
# YMMV.TheElderScrollsVSkyrim: The Civil War campaign is the catalyst for a few of these. Jump into any forum topic about it (or this very wiki, where Ulfric Stormcloak has been compared to both George Washington and Hitler) and expect to see a Flame War. Is the Empire the last, best hope for ensuring humanity's prosperity and survival against the genocidal Thalmor, or are they brutal oppressors holding on to a shadow of their former glory who crossed the line trying to appease the Thalmor? Are the Stormcloaks a bunch of heroic freedom fighters pushing a now-impotent empire out of their land and the Only Sane Men who know the only real way to deal with the Thalmor, or are they a bunch of bull-headed, racist idiots that are unwittingly giving the Thalmor exactly what they want and ultimately are just as bad as the Thalmor? Were they all developed enough or no?
# Webcomic.PrincessPi: Used by the Totally Nazis, but more often in reference to people they hate.Practiced in "Princess Pi vs. The Alpha Bitch", when Sam's attorney says anyone who arrests her would be Hitler. Practiced again in "Sam Adams vs. True Love": Sam warns classmate Ty Chiselbottom that if he doesn't dump her fat girlfriend, she'll never develop the desire to lose weight, and she'll die just because he made her feel content with her portly figure. You know what that makes you? A Nazi! And not the cool kind of Nazi, I mean the bad kind!
# Series.{{Brockmire}}: Jim somehow ties spitting your chew on the floor to being like Hitler while off-screen.
# Recap.CommunityS4E04AlternativeHistoryOfTheGermanInvasion: The study group is labeled as Nazis by the other students for the crime of... selfishly over-extending their use of the study room without consideration for other people who might want to use it.
# QuestionableContent.TropesEToH: Invoked and lampshaded in strip 1020. The only thing dumber than an argument on the internet is the same argument in real life.
# DarthWiki.BELQDNG: Two aliases he uses are Ignatius "Igniz" Goodman and Godwin S. Law He also tends to wear a bowler hat and walk with a cane, and then at one point drops his favorite quote "Come now, you know that's just a matter of words.".
