->'''Gunsche:''' There is now a separate page for the Hitler Rants. Fegelein made the request to Website/TVTropes.
->'''Hitler:''' I should have known that imbecile would find yet another way to make me look like a fool. And now he's done it! With a separate page for Hitler Rants, I'm '''FUCKED!''' I was hoping the ''Film/{{Downfall}}'' page would bury all the antics that go on in the bunker. But no! Now bring me that [[{{Troll}} asshole]] Fegelein!
->'''[[SayMyName FEGELEIN! FEGELEIN, FEGELEIN!]]'''

The ''Hitler Rants'' (also known as "Hitler Reacts", "Hitler Parodies", or "Downfall Parodies") are {{Memetic Mutation}}s involving fanmade series of {{Gag Sub}}s involving UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler and his famous [[VillainousBreakdown freakout scene]] from ''Film/Downfall2004'' (portrayed by Creator/BrunoGanz), often ranting about several topics. Said rants are usually {{anachronis|mStew}}tic, [[SeriousBusiness often over trivial matters]] and sometimes can even relate to current events of the time a video gets made, all for RuleOfFunny.

There are thousands of videos out there, and they can use any part of the movie (or even clips from other movies), but the most common scenes used are [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=gAOvO3djnjk Hitler planning a counterattack,]] [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=KIBeyaFDKH4 Hitler melting down while in his bunker upon hearing that Felix Steiner couldn't muster up that counterattack,]] [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=5xSREn3Vuzs Hitler calling about artillery fire near the bunker,]] [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=AyUMKb_mF5E Otto Gunsche informing him that Hermann Fegelein has gone AWOL,]] or [[https://youtu.be/MrZyE9qo5P0 Hitler having dinner with some of his aides and learning that Himmler tried to have Germany surrender to the US behind his back.]] The most commonly used scenes are actually rather early in the film.

The series has since expanded to the point where the makers of parodies (or ''Untergangers'' in reference to the source material) have practically created an entire universe. Not only this, but it has expanded to the point where it has gained a number of spin-offs using footage from other films and videos:
* ''Film/InglouriousBasterds'': Another ranting Hitler, portrayed as an ArchEnemy of Downfall Hitler. Popularised by the unterganger Hitler Rants Parodies.
* U-Boat Parodies: Using footage from ''Film/DasBoot''. Captain Heinrich Lemann-Willenbrock and the loveable crew of U-96 set out to perform all kinds of antics to embarrass Hitler.
* Stalin Parodies: Using footage from an obscure Russian film the title of which translates as ''Tukhachevksy, Conspiracy Marshall''. UsefulNotes/JosefStalin plots various schemes for his own ends, many of which ultimately cause trouble for Hitler.
* WebVideo/AngryGermanKid Parodies: Crossover with another popular Internet Meme about a German kid having a massive breakdown over ''Unreal Tournament 3''. Hitler and Leopold (the Angry German Kid) appear as equally vitriolic arch-enemies particularly in gaming.
* Revolution Parodies: Using footage of the Italian version of ''Film/DuckYouSucker''. John Mallory is out to get Hitler, and [[{{Determinator}} nothing's going to stop him from blowing him up]].
* Toys/{{American Girl|sCollection}}: Using (often dubbed) footage of various movies based on the toy line. The two most common are Felicity Merriman and Kit Kittredge, though footage using Samantha Parkington has also been used.
* [[UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini Mussolini]] Parodies: Using footage from a film called ''Mussolini Ultimo Atto'', which like ''Downfall'' depicts the fall of Mussolini. Much like Hitler Rants, Mussolini runs into all kinds of trouble and rants about it.
* Gaddafi Parodies: Using actual footage of [[UsefulNotes/MuammarGaddafi Muammar Al-Gaddafi]]. He believes himself to be a superior dictator to the others, and is determined to prove it.

A list of [[FanCommunityNicknames Untergangers]] can be found [[http://hitlerparody.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Untergangers here.]]

The parodies were also adapted into [[http://hitlerparody.wikia.com/wiki/Games video games]] or {{Game Mod}}s, also by Untergangers. ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} comics referenced this with Hitler complaining about ComicBook/NickFury.

For his part, the film's director, Oliver Hirschbiegel, likes the concept considering it furthers the purpose of his film of making the Nazis feel human and not just monsters one can dismiss as nothing like oneself.

Changing sociopolitical attitudes, [=YouTube=]'s censorship of Nazi-related content and the retirement of prominent Untergangers have resulted in the meme declining in recent years, though there are some who are still dedicated to making Hitler parody videos to this day.

%%
[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Tropes about the parodies in general]]
* AcmeProducts: Both Reich Industries and [=FegelCorp=] produce all kinds of goods and services.
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: In the videos where Hitler realizes that [=YouTubers=] make fun of him with these parodies, there are usually other characters who think the videos are pretty funny. Hitler, of course, usually disagrees.
* AdolfHitlarious: The whole point of this meme is to make fun of Adolf Hitler and the rest of ThoseWackyNazis through over-the-top BlackComedy and SurrealHumor.
* AffectionateParody: Of ''{{Film/Downfall}}''.
* AllThereInTheManual: [[http://hitlerrantsparodies.wikia.com/wiki/Hitler_Rants_Parodies_Wiki HRP's wiki]] has a [[http://hitlerrantsparodies.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline timeline]] page that provides some background information that wasn't mentioned in any of his parodies.
* AnachronismStew: Even though the setting seems to be 1945 Germany, Hitler and his acquaintances often encounter people, media, and technology from the past and future. There's no explanation for this.
** Hitler Rants Parodies' works ''explicitly'' take place in an alternate timeline/universe: Germany still seems to be fascist, or at least authoritarian, with Hitler as Führer, but (among other things) UsefulNotes/WorldWarII and the FinalSolution didn't happen - only a "Reich/Soviet War" is mentioned, implied to have started over [[DisproportionateRetribution Stalin calling Hitler a dumbass]] - and Hitler himself [[EvenEvilHasStandards sneers]] at RealLife Nazi genocides as "what that other dumbass [real] Hitler did".
* AntiVillain: Pretty much any way you look at it, no matter which person is the central focus of the parody in question. After all, no matter which character is trying to be a hero, they’re still Nazis.
* BilingualBonus: Inverted for people understanding German, as hearing the original conversations can be a little bit distracting for them while watching the parodies. [[http://www.vulture.com/2010/01/the_director_of_downfall_on_al.html In an article commenting on the parodies, Downfall director Oliver Hirschbiegel even admitted to muting the sound when watching them.]]
* BlackComedy: Bad things frequently happen to Hitler and the rest of the cast, sometimes rather violently, and all of it's PlayedForLaughs.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: To the point of NoFourthWall. Everyone seems to be aware that they are characters in Website/YouTube videos. Unsurprisingly, Hitler is very displeased at how most of the humor is targeted at his expense.
* CrackFic: Of the highly depressing war drama film ''{{Film/Downfall}}'', of all things.
* {{Crossover}}: Many parodies include characters and clips taken straight from other Website/YouTube videos, movies, TV shows, cartoons, video games, and other media. Sometimes results in a full-blown MassiveMultiplayerCrossover that serves as a metafictional parody of multiple different works.
* DeathIsCheap: Any character can be killed, but brought back with little or no explanation. Hermann Fegelein is the best example of this, and this is referred to as being some kind of superpower that he has.
* DigitalHeadSwap: Done crudely with parodies involving Hitler and company in scenarios e.g. where Hitler gets pranked by Fegelein. Though given the comedic nature of the parodies, it could be seen as a form of StylisticSuck.
* GagSub: All of the subtitles are intentionally mistranslated from the original German, allowing Hitler to rant about ''anything''.
** German-speaking viewers will regularly comment that the videos lose some of their humor value if one actually understands what he's saying; however, this hasn't stopped some Germans on [=YouTube=] (such as [=Staedty86=]) from making these parodies. The effect is somewhat restored by watching with the audio muted.
* LiveActionCartoon: These videos frequently involve a lot of {{Slapstick}}, SurrealHumor, and wacky characters that give them a very cartoonish feel.
* NegativeContinuity: There is no real canon or continuity, so just about ''anything'' can happen without permanent consequences.
* SadistShow: Many videos prominently feature BlackComedy and ComedicSociopathy to varying degrees. Though as most of this sadistic humor primarily victimizes a cast full of {{Unsympathetic Comedy|Protagonist}} {{Villain Protagonist}}s (who are also literal {{Nazi|Protagonist}}s), it's hard to feel too sorry for any of them.
* ScienceFantasy: Many videos involve the Nazis getting involved with strange phenomena from [[{{Ghostapo}} fantasy]] or [[StupidJetpackHitler science fiction]].
* StockFootage: The entire point of this meme is to reuse the same footage from ''Der Untergang'' over and over again, but add new subtitles and sometimes special effects to make entirely new stories.
* SurrealHumor: Many videos involve some ''really weird'' comedy, with the most absurdly random events happening, sometimes to the point of MindScrew.

[floatboxright:
Video series with their own pages:
* ''WebVideo/DerDisneygang''
** ''WebVideo/BattleForTheBunker''

[[/index]]
* AliensAreBastards: [[Series/StarTrekEnterprise The Na'kuhl]] in the ''War of the Hitlers'' series.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KTTpVyXrks Some Fegel-Aliens abduct Hitler from his bunker at night to pull an antic on him.]]
** In ''Battle for the Bunker'', [[spoiler: a group of former Antic Masters called the Destroyers plan to destroy the world, their antic to end all antics]].
* AllJustADream: Some parodies. For most of the time, it's Hitler who's dreaming it all up.
* AmusementPark: Hitler in one video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKzJFEn3m3o plans to build his own theme park]], known as "Hitlerland".
** There's also another park called "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Sdl9ouYEDY Fegelland]]". Guess who owns this one.
* AndIMustScream: Hitler gets this treatment quite often, such as getting [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_21CHHbMLA sent to hell]] or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD9JvKtVlyw being trapped all by himself in a white void]]. These situations can either be PlayedForLaughs or be straight-up [[NightmareFuel/HitlerRants Nightmare Fuel]]. [[invoked]]
* AnswerCut: In the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJjxvNpnyxk third part of "Hitler Plans to Have Justin Bieber Killed"]], when Hitler gets the Joker to kill Justin Bieber, Wiedling mentions that they forgot to tell the Joker about the "Spontaneous Jumping Truck Syndrome". When Hitler asks what that even means, it cuts to the scene of the Joker's truck flipping over.
* AnvilOnHead: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhObUNBa72M Happens to Gunsche and Hitler]], courtesy of Fegelein.
* ApocalypseWow: Played straight in a Downfall [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-biQGerP_2o parody trailer]] of ''Film/TwoThousandTwelve'', with the entire world falling to pieces on an epic scale.
* ArtisticLicense: In a now-deleted video where Hitler tries to play ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' and ends up encountering WebVideo/BenDrowned, Hitler details how he plans to play the game in the first place using [[UsefulNotes/{{Emulation}} Dolphin Emulator]], saying that someone from the bunker will go to the store and buy the emulator, and he will insert a CD of the game into said emulator. For one, Dolphin Emulator is a computer program, not a physical device. For another, you play games of an emulator by running the game's code within the software rather than with a CD.
* TheBadGuyWins: In the wake of the Brazil v. Germany football game, Germany defeated Brazil to the delight of Hitler, and the one time Fegelein loses.
* BaitAndSwitch: Sometimes, a Pros and Cons video will start normally, only for Hitler to suddenly remember that the subject about which Günsche had asked had no pros, only cons.
* BearsAreBadNews: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26M0ff9LH2U The Fegelbear]].
* BigBad: Usually Fegelein, though occasionally Hitler himself serves this role.
** [[spoiler: Otto Günsche]] and Soviet Union during "The Assassination Of Hitler" storyline serve this role. [[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Na'kuhl]] and real-life Hitler take this role in "War of the Hitlers" storyline. [[spoiler: Both storylines also feature [[Film/IronSky Space Nazis]].]]
* BigDamnHeroes: Wenck serves this role in the "War of the Hitlers" when [[spoiler:he rounds up reinforcements from the other dead Hitlers to go up against RealLife Hitler, thus completely turning the tide of the war just when all hope seemed lost]].
* BigDamnMovie: Sometimes there are series of parodies which cover a longer story arc.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuu3i_I55v8732Ub6ZYfq2gQ0E5Vmr74P Der Untergang: The Parody]]'' spoofs the whole ''Downfall'' film.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1D0179A3FE4BF1AE The Assassination of Hitler]]'', in which Hitler is murdered, and all the other Nazi leaders fight for control of Germany. It is DarkerAndEdgier, using more of the drama and war scenes from the original movie, and there is a lot less humor.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyegWs_ffuf3n2-FqJN1OUPcJUVqHy6m4 War of the Hitlers]]'', in which ''Downfall'' Hitler goes to war against Hitlers from other movies. This one is two-and-a-half hours long, easily the length of a feature film, and similarly to ''The Assassination of Hitler'' is DarkerAndEdgier, particularly once the DarkestHour hits.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q4_swbUEjo Hitler's Llama Priest]]'', where Hitler leads an expedition to find the "Llama Priest" idol from a booby-trapped temple.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuu3i_I55v86oS1i1hWhnxA4pfa_rAenW Der Disneygang]]'', which deals with the Nazi invasion and occupation of the Creator/{{Disney}} universe.
*** Followed by ''[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuu3i_I55v84WA9ordZuLUwWTLCM_WEep Battle for the Bunker]]'', which involves the above in reverse, with a cartoon invasion of Germany.
* BigNo: Done by Hitler in numerous videos, usually whenever he discovers that his plan to kill Fegelein failed.
** Also tends to happen when Hitler is [[StuffBlowingUp caught in an explosion]].
** He delivers a huge, 25 second long one as a reaction to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cpuveo7iO2w the Hitler Rants Parodies channel reaching 100,000 subscribers]]. He does it again when he learns Trump won the election.
** It happened yet again when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6hXA5NS7Qw&t=0s Germany was eliminated from the 2018 World Cup in last place in their group]].
* BiggerIsBetterInBed: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH80Mgbt4ss Eva left him for Jonah Falcon.]]
* BloodlessCarnage: Varies between parodies.
* BodyHorror: Played for laughs in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IST3ddr9TcQ this video]].
* BrickJoke: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvKYa9pert0 this video]] (involving humorous crossover with different Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog continuities) when Hitler mentions that the reason he believes that [[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM Dr. Julian Ivo Robotnik]] was defeated by the Freedom Fighters was because [[spoiler:his troops were "screwing with that [[Characters/SonicTheHedgehogRecurringCharacters bat prostitute]]", he gets so depressed by this set back that he asks them to contact "Rouge the Prostitute"]].
* BrownBagMask: Hitler ends up wearing one after [[spoiler:Manga/SquidGirl hacks his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wzfYNexs6k VPN service]] and leaks his browsing history]].
* ButtMonkey: Virtually everyone except for Fegelein and Himmler, though Hitler obviously gets the worst of it.
* CallBack: When being informed he [[spoiler: dies at the end of ''Film/InglouriousBasterds'']], he references one of the original videos, in which he lost his Xbox Live account.
* TheCaptain: Captain Willenbrock.
* CasinoEpisode: Hiter goes to the Casino, where Fegelein beats Hitler at casino games.
* CassandraTruth: ''Every time'' Hitler tries to search for Berlin on a map of Germany. When someone points directly to Berlin on the map (mainly Krebs), insisting that the capital city ''is'' located on the map, Hitler always dismissively claims that they know nothing about its whereabouts.
* CelebrityParadox: The main reason why UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini [[ExiledFromContinuity can't appear in the parodies]], because Rod Steiger already appears as Juan Miranda in sketches involving ''Film/DuckYouSucker'', as enunciated [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lNMtMLWgyM in this video]].
* TheChessmaster: Stalin, Willenbrock and Mallory.
* ChristmasEpisode: A near-absurd amount of them have been made ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zL3hwmvDUQ&list=PLiFGfjR2QKlF5MPGgukalOJ2qqXPxUKBY see here for a playlist containing most of them]]). The examples below are just the tip of the iceberg.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69cJJAAYqy4 Hitler's Christmas Carol]]''
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpVus64-39E Hitler's Christmas rant]]''
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qNX4TIhT64 Hitler is a Mall Santa]]''

** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYPSm44fwHU Hitler is informed it's Christmas]]''
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3_72w47U-U Hitler's Magical Christmas Adventure]]''
* ClusterFBomb: Hitler, in some parodies, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUSLhDM-UkA this one]].
* ComesGreatResponsibility: Said by Speer [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zVEkj95bAE when he constructs the Wand of Doom for Hitler]], but the latter ignores him, which leads to him [[HoistByHisOwnPetard getting his comeuppance]].
* CompanionCube: Krebs loves pointing at his maps.
** He's also quite interested in fish, as everything to [[TrademarkFavoriteFood meals]] to [[InsaneTrollLogic outright insane uses]].
* ComplexityAddiction: Mallory is so keen to blow up Hitler, but he never once seems to stop and consider the possibility of maybe using more reliable tactics... like [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim just shooting him]].
* CoolShip: U-96, the setting of the U-Boat Parodies.
* CosmicHorrorStory: This whole meme takes place in a universe where dozens of people have the power to tear apart the universe, and they ''will'' do so for as simple a reason as to get a laugh.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ztJrZ1thiI This video]] uses footage from an actual Cosmic Horror Story, ''Film/InTheMouthOfMadness''. The video sees Captain Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock ''tearing apart reality'' [[spoiler: and forcing Hitler to endure the terrible music of Kate Bush's mirror universe counterpart, while the rest of the universe falls apart to his amusement]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS6EzV8sj7s#t=3m12s One scrapped parody]] implied that [[spoiler:killing Fegelein will result with an imbalance in the universe, [[ApocalypseHow causing metaphysical annihilation]].]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO7UNUFlLmw The Menace of Fegel-Forest]], in which most of the cast is lost in a forest trying to survive against [[spoiler: [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos the Slender Man]]]].
* {{Crossover}}: Many have been done so far, most prominently Hitler making phone calls to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyZZPh-cHUA other]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI-A9Zumuhg&feature=relmfu depictions]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJVX5OPrGFU of]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pozm_RWOX3g himself]].
** For that matter, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUCkojEvgy8&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PLBDE849F65AEB45D8 Hitler vs. Khan]], which is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, and the perspective flipped [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gw5iQIs5RJ4&feature=relmfu The Wrath of Hitler]]. Both videos splicing together footage from ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'' to make it look like Hitler is battling with Khan and Captain Kirk respectively.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9iiqDiJ3tY Hitler plans on Retrieving EMI]] [[Blog/{{Bronyism}} for the bronies and banning Sagan]].
** There have been numerous videos involving Hitler going to Equestria and interacting with the characters of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GDC-nTOoMk This vid]] humorously crosses over Hitler and Franchise/GreenLantern.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPWGnfTrvJI Hitler Phones]] [[Series/{{Blackadder}} Captain Blackadder.]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQdzexzbumc Several scenes are crossed with footage from the early 90s PC game Wolfenstein 3D]] effectively merging the plot of the game with the film, including [[spoiler: the final boss battle where Hitler fights in his battle mecha.]]
** "Super [[VideoGame/MarioKart Hitler Kart]]", which combines the ''Downfall'' characters, ''Super Mario Kart'', and ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4r2XtMN-Sk "Super Mario]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3js4LOVk_Y vs. The Führerbunker!"]], which pits the ''Downfall'' characters against [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] after Hitler fails to beat World 1-1.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLADB69C9B1E593B1C Hitler goes to]] Franchise/SilentHill.
** Hitler phoning [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Elsa]], who breaks up with him. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1ASJKzEnwU In song.]]
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jEuIwVFE_w Der Disneygang]]'' is probably one of the biggest instances of this, with Fegelein fighting to save the entire Disney universe.
*** Followed by ''[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuu3i_I55v84WA9ordZuLUwWTLCM_WEep Battle for the Bunker]]'', with Hitler trying to defend Berlin against various animated series.
* [[CutLexLuthorACheck Cut Adolf Hitler a Check]]: Hitler attempts to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hYGzkX6-oM steal Fegelein's grandma's purse]] to recapitalize the Reich treasury. [[NeverMessWithGranny It]] [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown fails.]]
* DemotedToExtra: Despite serving a major role in the actual movie, Schneck rarely ever appears in the videos, and when he does, it's usually just a cameo.
* DependingOnTheWriter:
** Hitler is either a raging PsychopathicManchild, a ButtMonkey of crazy pranks, or even the OnlySaneMan.
** Gunsche is usually the straight man to Hitler, but sometimes quirks into constantly spouting the obvious.
** Fegelein can be anywhere from a constant prankster to TheGhost to even the BigBad with almost god-like powers.
** Usually Hitler is depicted as the protagonist and Fegelein as the antagonist, though other times Hitler is the villain who is tormenting everyone in the bunker, until Fegelein comes in to save the day.
** The technology and places used can vary between well-known and established modern names (ie. Windows 7 and Gamestop) to a Nazi BlandNameProduct (ie. Windows 1945 and Reich Games).
** In cases where Hitler is aware of the parodies, he can be either incredibly supportive of them (to the point where its depicted as though he himself actually writes and acts in them to entertain people) or he outright despises them and actively tries to get rid of them.
** Hitler is either depicted as being anti-semitic, or isn't.
** All men in the bunker are either [[AllMenArePerverts perverts]], or not.
* {{Determinator}}: There is literally nothing that can stop Mallory from his quest to blow up Hitler, and for that matter any antic master.
** Hitler '''NEVER''' gives up in his attempts to kill Fegelein, even when the latter is portrayed as a RealityWarper in-universe, and acknowledged as such.
* DeusExMachina: Lampshaded in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjanqQ0ANxY Super Hitler Kart]]" when Hitler chastises Gunsche for letting himself get defeated by one.
* DontBeRidiculous: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2jX_21ivOU one video]], Hitler rants about the flat Earth movement, pointing out how stupid it is to believe the Earth is flat... and at the very end, he says the Earth is shaped like a swastika.
* DramaQueen: Hitler melting down over the most insignificant things is (or was) the entire premise of the meme.
* DreamWithinADream: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5XecKZex7s Hitler's dream sequence.]] Lampshaded to shreds.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiMsIACrgg8 Grawitz and Jodl fail their driving lessons this way.]]
* EndOfSeriesAwareness: Discussed when Constantin Films, the producers of ''[[Film/{{Downfall}} Der Untergang]]'', forced [=YouTube=] to remove most of the videos.
** This also happened during the controversy surrounding SOPA, a bill that would have granted the entertainment business absolute power over the internet. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26prB5K8Viw This video]] depicts a nightmarish AfterTheEnd scenario that resulted from the passing of the bill.
* EnemyMine: Occasionally, Hitler and Fegelein will team up.
* EpicFail: Well, that's a nice way of putting some of the things that happen in the bunker.
** Possibly inverted in the U-Boat Parodies, at least from Willenbrock's point of view. For him, success is the only option, though that still usually results in him finding some way to benefit from Hitler's misery. Stalin Parodies follow a similar concept, though Stalin does occasionally get humiliated in comedic ways.
** To a lesser degree, Mallory usually causes massive amounts of property damage, and does occasionally manage to blow up Hitler... but the strange way the Physics of the Parody Universe work ensure that either Hitler survives or his death his only temporary, leaving Mallory to constantly have to try new things.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmCeV7vTe-U&feature=related this video]], Hitler rants about paedophillia.
** One parody featured Hitler sending aid to Libyan rebels because Gaddafi "[[InsultToRocks gave dictators a bad name]]".
** A rare time where Hitler's plan actually succeeds is when [[EnemyMine he teamed up with Fegelein]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfshbslQaF8 to destroy the Westboro Baptist Church]], an organization that he can't stand.
* EvilVersusEvil: The 14 part epic [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=73W9nG5lfRI "War of the Hitlers"]] (the link goes to the first episode) is probably one of the most exaggerated examples of this trope ever, following a war in which countless fictionalized depictions of Adolf Hitler duke it out for supremacy.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Subverted for [=HRP's=] "[character] tries to [[YourAnswerToEverything [action] ]][[MemeticMutation for 10 hours]]", as Hitler (or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iB9VlCFgds even himself]]) gets tired of it/doing so.
* FanDisservice: The ending of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-7Q3akfr7c Hitler's third trip to Japan]] may very well be one of the greatest instances of the trope. Ugh...
* {{Flanderization}}: The officers are usually flanderized to just their most obvious actions. For instance, Jodl constantly objects, Krebs has a map-pointing fetish and Gunsche informs Hitler of anything. In the spin-off parodies, Mallory is a psycho whose solution to any problem is through explosives (usually dynamite), leading him to constantly blow various things up.
* FluffyTheTerrible: Fegelein has a pet panther called "Mr. Cuddlepants" in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qNX4TIhT64 Hitler is a Mall Santa]].
* {{Foil}}: Captain Heinrich Lemann-Willenbrock to Hitler. Hitler spends most of his time ranting and shouting at his incompetent staff to carry out plans which they can never manage. Meanwhile, Willenbrock, who doesn't even have a position of government, is calm, rational, and plans his schemes carefully. Guess which one normally succeeds. Merriman, Kittredge and Parkington also served as a stark foil to Hitler's sinister image, being that they were depicted in their original stories as loveable children and as role models.
* ForcedTransformation:
** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zVEkj95bAE Hitler Becomes a Wizard]], Hitler turns Grawitz into a cat toy and later into a toilet plunger. Then, when Fegelein gets a hold of the wand, he [[spoiler:turns Hitler into a toilet]].
** There's also a video where [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wn0q0h5IrV4 Hitler gets transformed into a dog]].
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: In one video, where [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eY7bf09RSA Gunsche tells Hitler that he's being watched]], [[spoiler:Hitler eventually figures out that he's on [=YouTube=] and looks at the viewer, telling them to stop or he will take drastic measures.]]
%%* GameMod
* GenderBender:
** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3ESw8nA2MU one video]], Fegelein turns Hitler into [[Film/IronSky Vivian Wagner]].
** While it isn't an actual transformation, there's also a video where [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf2vTTJaiwA Fegelein traps Hitler in a Kit Kittredge costume]] and later in a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCK057TuzTY Saige costume]]. On the opposite side of the spectrum, there's another video where [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTE-yKyL99s Fegelein traps Traudl and Gerda in a Gunsche costume]].
* TheGhost:
** Steiner, though some have found ways to make him appear. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD9JvKtVlyw It doesn't end well]].
** Wenck is also constantly mentioned throughout the parodies, but doesn't make any appearances.
* GilliganCut: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qNX4TIhT64 Hitler is a Mall Santa]]:
-->'''Mohnke:''' You could try to get a seasonal job when you're at the mall. Try to make some extra cash.\\
'''Hitler:''' ...That's actually a pretty good idea, Bonkers. I have a pretty damn impressive resume. There's no doubt in my mind I'll get the best job the Berlin Mall has to offer.\\
''(cut to Hitler at the mall, having been assigned the job of a Mall Santa)''\\
'''Hitler:''' {{You have|GotToBeKiddingMe}} ''[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe got]]'' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe to be fucking kidding me.]]
* {{Gorn}}: Varies between parodies.
* GrammarNazi: Lampshaded in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShM22z7Pbek "Hitler the Grammar Nazi"]], when Günsche mixes up the words "you're" and "your".
** And taken to its logical conclusion in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8fbrUjjivw Downfall of Grammar]], where Hitler rants about a sentence ending in a dangling participle.
* GroinAttack: Numerous videos center around Fegelein finding new ways to painfully hit Hitler in the crotch.
* GroundhogDayLoop: This happens in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H99gn0gwSsE Hitler's Time Loop Tantrum]], in which Hitler accidentally pushes a button that traps himself and his generals in a time loop.
* HalloweenEpisode: An overwhelming amount of them have been made ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrDxAPzZ4c0&index=1&list=PLiFGfjR2QKlGqJbo59Pbwhi1-ZczYS3gI see here for a playlist containing most of them]]), the examples below are only just some of them.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waHqmRBzr_U Hitler is informed it's Halloween]]''
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1fz-B0gnv8 Hitler's White Halloween]]''
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxtzSAxbfVg Hitler throws a Halloween party!]]''
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4TXXRlm7zA Hitler's Spooky Halloween]]''
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KApUNRhtu6w Hitler's Halloween Antics]]''
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhR8s2ZV-Q8 Hitler is informed it's Halloween again]]''
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LUYEnp3ZPM Hitler's Scary Halloween]]''
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zc9e-wXA37w Halloween In The Führerbunker]]''
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVNHyXYjLZs Ghost in the Bunker]]''
* HeavyVoice: Happens when Hitler becomes overweight in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiCqll3UViw ''Hitler and Operation Plumparossa'']]. He then demands that everyone in the bunker gains weight, as he likes how it makes their voices sound more masculine.
* HeliumSpeech: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQrgYGmpKJQ Many]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FcwqTy2ZkA videos]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHeeltPsIoI have]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GfTYxUkpXE depicted]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gytz_FB-_xc Fegelein]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zum8L6nQyOE filling]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfOm0FMC2mQ the]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwZnrpRMJfs bunker]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9KaNrMlZ7E with]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UJaWbKvUzQ helium.]] Of course, each time, HilarityEnsues.
* HellHasNewManagement: If a parody features Hitler winding up in Hell, there's a good chance that Hitler will [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu straight up insult the devil to his face]] (like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKDWJY1I0BU&feature=relmfu here]]). Others seem to imply that Hitler ''dethroned Satan and took control of Hell.''
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Stalin, Steiner, Wenck and (sometimes) Fegelein, [[HiddenInPlainSight which is often played with]]. Stalin's shown up more since he got his own series.
* HiccupHijinks: Naturally the plot of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgyo9N4vtqw Hitler has the hiccups]]''.
* [[OrcusOnHisThrone Hitler in His Bunker]]: Hitler plans a lot, but he remains in the bunker most of the time while his henchmen carry out his work.
* HowTheCharacterStoleChristmas: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiySedyRp1Q How the Führer Stole Christmas!]]
* HumiliationConga: Hitler is usually on the receiving end of the stick, due to Fegelein's antics, bad luck, or a combination of both.
* IAmGreatSong: Burgdorf's VillainSong "Greatest in the Reich", as one can probably tell from the title.
* IdiotBall: Goes back and forth depending on the parody. Hitler can go from being the OnlySaneMan in one video to a complete moron in the next. Then of course there's Jodl, whose reasons for objecting to his plans range from pointing out blatant flaws to outright insanity.
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Gunsche, as shown [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebfUPZqC4jM here]]. And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QlLXWzbZhw here]].
* ImplacableMan: Anyone associate with antics will find a way to come back from the dead.
* InsaneTrollLogic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtfFugVfFKQ Hitler tries to kill Fegelein with his phone]], because he concludes that since weapons have never worked on him, non-weapons will therefore kill him.
** Hitler's main reason for ignoring Jodl is because he is convinced it is bad luck to listen to a "bald virgin".
* InstantSoprano: Is the focal-gag of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrMe_6WJdUA this video]].
* InterserviceRivalry: Taken to the ridiculous extreme, with Hitler overseeing the regular German army while the ''entire navy'' is out to get him, though granted the German navy in this universe consists of two U-Boat crews and a slightly loopy Captain who's almost always drunk.
* InUniverseNickname: Goebbels is typically called "[[Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse Skeletor]]" by everyone else, much to his annoyance.
* ItsAllAboutMe:
** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSD0Mjt64LQ one video]], Hitler complains that his pizza will be late, not caring that the delivery boy is literally risking life and limb to get it to him.
** In a video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8WZxhjM1kw where Hitler's attempt at a fundraiser fails spectacularly]], he laments, "I can't believe how selfish the people of today are. Thinking about themselves and not me!"
* ItAmusedMe: This is the motivation for most antic masters.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Even Hitler and the Nazis thought [[https://www.youtube.com/user/kitty0706/videos kitty0706]] was a creative and funny young man. Upon learning he'd passed away, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAIsESei3yY they decided to pay their respects.]]
* JokerImmunity: Practically every single one of Hitler's arch enemies. On the rare occasion he does catch one of them, they'll always escape.
* KarmaHoudini: Just about every antic master normally gets away with whatever scheme they've just pulled to make Hitler's life miserable. Once in a while, Fegelein gets arrested, but he usually gets out of it.
** Mallory has yet to receive any form of comeuppance for what may be over thousands of dollars worth of property damage he has caused, or his numerous attempted murders.
* KarmicTrickster: Stalin's plans have one thing in common -- to piss off Hitler.
* [[KnightOfCerebus Knights of Cerebus]]: [[spoiler: [[Film/IronSky Space Nazis]]]], who are directly and indirectly responsible for everything that happens in DarkerAndEdgier [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m5a43NGv1c The Assassination of Hitler]] video series and are set up as {{Big Bad}}s in [[spoiler: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x14QGWrIhkM "The Final Conflict"]]]].
* LargeHam: Three guesses on who.
* LockedInARoom: Several videos had the entire Bunker staff stuck in everything from [[http://youtu.be/fEaW42iUOjo elevators]] to [[http://youtu.be/cEYDPrRJwWc closets]] to [[http://youtu.be/fDhsFnmMsio roller coasters]].
* LovecraftLite: The aforementioned ''The Menace of Fegel-Forest'' is for the most part a very dark parody in which many familiar characters are forced to endure the horror of [[spoiler: The Slender Man]]. That is until the very end, when [[spoiler: Mallory successfully kills the Slender Man with an antic rifle, and then proceeds to detonate a liquid explosive specifically to blow up Hitler, as always]].
* LoveableRogue: Captain Willenbrock and the crew of U-96.
* MagicWand: One is used by Hitler in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zVEkj95bAE Hitler Becomes a Wizard]]". It doesn't end very well for him, though.
* MalevolentMutilation: Fegelein painfully re-arranges Hitler's face in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHORuk_Y66w Hitler plans a facial plastic surgery]]".
* MassivelyMultiplayerCrossover: Happens multiple times.
** HRP's "War of the Hitlers" is a crossover between Downfall Hitler and a very large amount of other movie depictions of Adolf Hitler, battling it out in a huge war to determine who's the strongest Hitler. It even features the real life version of Hitler as the BigBad by utilizing footage of his real life speeches.
** Der Disneygang features many Disney characters being oppressed by and, at the end, in battle with the Downfall characters. Even characters from other entertainment brands, like Hasbro's Transformers and My Little Pony make cameo appearances.
** Likewise, the sequel to Der Disneygang, the Battle for the Bunker, features many cartoon and anime characters taking vengeance on Hitler and his Nazis for taking over Disneyland, only for both sides to be attacked by alien spaceships from multiple alien invasion movies. The latest episode in this serial even features [[spoiler:the Joker from Batman]] leading another attack.
* MegaCorp: Some parodies mention one by the name of "Reich Tech", which apparently makes...well, ''everything.'' Hitler is CEO.
** Another major company is [=FegelCorp=]. You can probably guess who owns it.
* MediumAwareness: In some videos, Hitler and some others are aware of the parodies, often in disgust.
* MirrorUniverse: While not frequently explored, there is one that exists for the Parody Universe, where everything is reversed. The fact that everything is spelt backwards (regardless of how pronounceable it may make people's names) aside, Hitler has successfully conquered the world and worked his way into other dimensions, regularly performs antics on Fegelein and relentlessly tries to blow up Mallory who is also Juan's unwilling lackey, Captain Willenbrock constantly fails at his schemes due to the actions of Hitler and often rants about it, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and Justin Bieber is the greatest singer of all time]] [[MindScrew while Kate Bush is the absolute worst]].
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Frequent in many videos. "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15lWBin06f8 Hitler plans to breathe]]", for one example.
* MushroomSamba: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTDI1qPgnCg Hitler's Magical Desk.]]
* NaziProtagonist: Hitler and his staff whenever the focus is on them.
* NeverMessWithGranny: Hitler's attempts to steal Fegelein's grandmother's purse [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hYGzkX6-oM fail rather spectacularly.]]
* NominalHero: Sure, Mallory, Willenbrock, Fegelein, Kittredge, and others are all out to get Hitler... just not for the reasons you'd normally expect...
* NotMeThisTime: Given that Fegelein made several antics towards the inhabitants of the bunker, he had to clarify at times when a misfortune is not a result of him that time when everyone looks at him[[note]]particularly in a clip where he's nearby the door the time Hitler lets out his rant[[/note]].
* OncePerEpisode: In the "Hitler Is Informed" parodies, they will almost always include the lines: "I'm fucked!" and "Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein!"
* PoliticalOvercorrectness: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfysvgkKqUc Hitler is definitely not amused by this.]]
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Given that the "hero" is often ''Adolf Hitler''.
* PoesLaw: Has occurred a few times. Most notably, several viewers mistook [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic [=FegaMan=]]]'s "paid DLC" to be a serious statement.
* PornStache: Stalin and Mallory.
* PottyEmergency:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHBbXwiJuLo Happens to Gunsche in one video]], where he's prevented from going to the bathroom because of everyone asking him for favors.
** Serves as the "explosive" finale of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5_FSZv2KMg "Hitler plans to get Göring in shape"]] when Hitler spikes Göring's food with laxatives.
* PragmaticVillainy: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GixcYrEx3HA&feature=related this video]], Hitler is outraged that the Jews have been subjected to extermination... because he wanted them to finance Germany's reconstruction
* RealityWarper:
** Fegelein, although Hitler has his moments.
** Hitler's pencils have the power to do anything from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPmXgvuE-U4&lc blowing up buildings]] to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwImZpi6RBA stopping time]]. It gets even more absurd, as quite a few characters have superweapons hidden in seemingly ordinary objects, such as forks, bottles, and even select body parts.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ztJrZ1thiI Captain Willenbrock tore a hole in the space-time continuum]], in the process creating mass chaos, and forcing Hitler to listen to a horrible alternate mirror version of Music/KateBush ''just for a laugh''.
* RoadRunnerVsCoyote: Pretty much any parody where Mallory appears. To be fair, Hitler doesn't get off quite so easy, it's just that Mallory can never permanently kill him with his explosives.
* RogueAgent: Willenbrock.
* RuleOfCool: Most of the action-themed parodies.
* RuleOfFunny: The main reason these videos exist, and often revolve around trivial things. Oddly enough, this defense won an Australian man his job back and a settlement from his employer in May 2020. About a year and a half earlier during contract negotiations, he posted one of these videos to his union’s closed Facebook page and management saw it and fired him. A lower court ruled that since the man was clearly joking and was not literally calling them Nazis, the video was protected speech and his termination was unlawful. The company tried to appeal but the federal court rejected the case and let the lower court ruling stand.
* RuleOfSymbolism: There are very specific individuals representing good and bad music. Music/KateBush exists as the personification of beautiful, powerful, and incredible pop music while Music/JustinBieber is used as a personification of crappy music. It's not just limited to music, though. There are many others.
* RunningGag: This meme is full of running gags, due to reusing and recycling many of the same scenes, and humor derived from eccentric characters and their personality quirks. Examples include Krebs's fish obsession and Jodl's objecting to everything.
* ScaryStingingSwarm: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIBY_7oqFeU Hitler's adventure in Africa]], Hitler gets attacked by a bee swarm. It gets ridiculous [[spoiler:when they drive a police car to [[CarFu destroy]] [[VehicularAssault his]]. Then Hitler fights a giant bee and loses. Fortunately, it's AllJustADream. OrWasItADream [[GainaxEnding Because the ending doesn't make any sense]]]].
* SchmuckBait: the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu4gosgp-cc FegelStations]]. Even before playing the first one, Hitler suspects there is something amiss. Upon playing it he immediately catches on that the [[GameBreakingBug "bugs"]] in it were put there on purpose and that the entire system is made to {{troll}} him. And yet, even three Fegelstations later, he still didn't learn his lesson to just not touch the damn things.
* SdrawkcabName: Nielegef, and pretty much everything from the Mirror Parody Universe. Exaggerated in some parodies, where his name is ''mirrored horizontally'' in the subtitles.
* SeadogBeard: Captain Willenbrock and the crew of U-96 frequently, though they do tend to shave more frequently than they did in Film/DasBoot.
* SelfDeprecation: In many of HRP's videos, whenever Hitler mentions him, he calls him an idiot and a loser for making so many ''Downfall'' parodies.
* SeriousBusiness: For starters, try telling him [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfkDxF2kn1I that his Xbox Live account has been banned for life]].
* ShaggyDogStory: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRqWoRMehpo Hitler meets Fegelein (FINALLY!)]]", Fegelein finally arrives to Hitler's office after the former has called for him so many times. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, Hitler has forgotten what he wanted to talk to Fegelein about.]]
* SharedUniverse: It would be impossible to count how many people have made parodies, though different people have different views on continuity. [=HitlerRantsParodies=], for example seems to be set entirely in his own independent continuity, while [=HitchcockJohn=] and Benad361's parodies appear to be set in the same reality, occasionally collaborating in crossovers or borrowing characters from each other's work.
* ShoutOut: Many. Listing them here would just stretch the page, so just look up the parodies if you want to.
* SickeninglySweet: Invoked with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CNhQNlLy0Y Burgdorf's music video]], which depicts him [[HollywoodToneDeaf singing poorly]] near a pretty rural cottage, dancing with young children and petting rabbits. For some reason, he made this as a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eF62NmD_NWg recruitment commercial]] for the ''[[ChildSoldier Hitler Youth]]''! Hitler was very [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJE5BoihVHo embarrassed and enraged by it]].
* SinisterSurveillance: Hitler attempts this on the bunker in the fifth Viva La Fegel video to stop Fegelein's antics once and for all. It of course backfires once it comes to light that Speer, who installed the cameras for him, was in cahoots with Fegelein and also put in a [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys Foxy animatronic]] as well.
* SmokingIsCool: Krebs smokes in some scenes, and Koller smokes in his major scenes.
** Apparently not in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWjN0g0_hws Hitler's Orange Mocha Frappuccino]].
* SoundEffectBleep: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbK2afdpC1I Viva La Fegel 2]]", Hitler gets an enormous cock as a result of Fegelein messing with his medicines. Leads to weird sex with Eva, which the others listen in on. But when asked about what he was doing:
--> "I never knew Viagra would help me *WHINNY!* so well. The *SQUAWK!* was that noise?! Now he's censoring me! He's *ELEPHANT TRUMPETING*. Don't tell me I'll have to walk around doing this all *OWL COOING* day. Tell *CAW!* to undo this! *CUE MORE BLEEP SOUND EFFECTS*"
* TheStarscream: As of "The Assassination of Hitler," [[spoiler:Gunsche]] is revealed to be this: He [[spoiler:was the one to assassinate Hitler in the first place,]] and is revealed to be working with the Space Nazis.
* TheStinger: The supposedly wild Pikachu that Hitler encounters in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmKspNOz0vs Hitler Tries to Catch Pikachu]]" turns out to be Fegelein's, who contemplates sending out Mewtwo next time after returning Pikachu to its Poké Ball.
* StuffBlowingUp: Mallory has made it his goal in life to blow up Hitler. Anything that gets in his way also goes boom!
** The Silver Universe's parodies has lots and lots of explosions that would make Creator/MichaelBay proud.
* StylisticSuck: A lot of parodies use cheesy special effects, such as pasting characters and objects into other video clips in a crude fashion. It can still be very funny though.
* TakeOurWordForIt: We never get to see the process of Hitler's facial surgery thanks to Fegelein, but judging by the screams Hitler makes during the process, it's painful. We ''do'' get to see the final product of the surgery, and it's terrifying.
* TakeThat: Towards Music/JustinBieber mostly, although any form of media that Hitler rants about qualifies as well.
* TankGoodness: Not really. Super Hitler Kart proves otherwise.
* TeamRocketWins: Once in a while, one of Hitler's plans actually succeeds.
* TechnologyMarchesOn: Invoked. in "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Hitler's Movie Theater]]" (Fegel-Dolf), Dolfy plans to open a cinema operated with an old 35mm projector, however Jodl's objections prove true and the theatre turns into [[spoiler: the [=FegelAntics=] Theater]].
* TemporalParadox: [=HitlerRantsParodies=]' parodies run on the Multiverse Theory of time travel.
* TemptingFate: Usually combined with YouJustHadToSayIt.
* TerribleIntervieweesMontage: This occurs in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SnWe8e0l-0 Hitler wants to find a new successor]]", where he's shown quickly rejecting numerous interviewees, including [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]], [[UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte Napoleon I]], [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Sauron]], and UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush.
* ThanksgivingEpisode: Several have been done, including:
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Zx9IMXbOOA Hitler's Thanksgiving Day!]]''
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfCXVhF_wRg Hitler is informed it's Thanksgiving]]''
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXAGAkVwhY4 Hitler is wished a Happy Thanksgiving]]''
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCIhCVi4QhA Hitler gets everyone to try and kill Fegelein]]
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: InUniverse, this is actually the standard for these videos, including the TropeMaker video.
** In particular, this was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0SaeMNbNCo Hitler's reaction]] to recent attraction changes at [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks EPCOT Center]], even ranting over it's name change to just "Epcot".
* ThrowTheDogABone: Very rarely will things work out in Hitler's favor.
* ThumbtackOnTheChair: One episode of ''Viva la Fegel'' has Fegelein do this to Hitler, among other antics.
* TimeMachine: Several videos revolve around one being invented, and usually end up being used by Fegelein.
* ToHellAndBack: Numerous videos have the characters going to Hell, but then escaping via various means.
* TooDumbToLive: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWjN0g0_hws Hitler's]] [[Film/{{Zoolander}} Orange Mocha Frappuchino]] ends with Günsche lighting a cigarette while he, Jodl, and Burgdorf are covered with gasoline, detonating the gas station and killing the three (but not Hitler).
* UltimateJobSecurity: Despite all the antics he pulled on Hitler, Fegelein somehow still remained in the bunker.
* UnfortunateImplications[[invoked]]: This is Hitler's biggest problem with Miley Cyrus's "maturity" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYZRsL6ie4A during the MTV 2013 Music Video Awards]].
* UnwinnableByDesign: Taken to extremes with Fegelein's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu4gosgp-cc FegelStation video game console]], which has games programmed with instant death traps just to piss Hitler off. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijcDExJyJVM Then he trolls Hitler again with the FegelStation 2.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6bL_k51jYc And the FegelStation 3.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmASDp7w-VY And the FegelStation 4!]] To top it off, he manages to break Hitler's television... twice!
* ValentinesDayEpisode: Many have been done, below are just a few examples:
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUu1obI4W-c Hitler is informed it's Valentine's Day]]''
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oZS8-ppp6g Hitler has not received a Valentine's card]]''
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zlNZyrKUss Hitler's Valentine's Day]]''
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLsJx1rMAiE Hitler finds out it's Valentine's Day]]''
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl-gEDz0FSM Pros and Cons with Adolf Hitler: Valentine's Day]]''
* VestigialEmpire: Played straight to the extreme. The ''Fuhrerbunker'' is all that is left of Nazi Germany. Some takes make this ''slightly'' less vestigial by having Hitler's authority extend to at least part of topside Berlin.
* VillainSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CNhQNlLy0Y "Greatest in the Reich"]] serves as this for Burgdorf.
* TheVillainSucksSong: "You're a Mean One, Mr. Führer"
* VolleyingInsults: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlUyruXauUo Happens between Mohnke and Goebbels at one point.]]
* VulgarHumor: Many of Wonky-Tonk-Botty's parodies (and {{YouTube Poop}}s) fit this trope to a T, due to his graphic use of ToiletHumor, [[ClusterFBomb vile profanities/references]], [[DeathAsComedy mockery of people getting killed/seriously injured]], racist content or politically incorrect/MoralEventHorizon material.
* WeNeedADistraction: Particularly done in the ''Viva La Fegel'' videos by Günsche to distract Hitler.
* WhamEpisode: ''Battle for the Bunker'' episode 6: [[spoiler: Hitler's deceased mother used to be a member of the Destroyers, and Günsche is revealed to be the group's spy.]]
* WorldOfSnark: Virtually every single character at one point has made a joke or snarky remark in a serious tone of voice. Hitler himself is usually this, most commonly in parodies where he is portrayed as the OnlySaneMan.
* WorldWarIII: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EKePR5TaCo Hitler eliminates Vladimir Putin]]", Germany invades Russia, and Adolf Hitler personally executes UsefulNotes/VladimirPutin. [[TooDumbToLive Hitler did this believing that he would maintain world peace, but instead he causes a nuclear apocalypse.]]
* YouBastard: Subtly done in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYgyDW8ugR0 A Lonely Christmas]]; you'll feel bad after laughing at Hitler's antic on Jodl, who is left alone by himself to celebrate Christmas after his wife died.
* YouClonedHitler: And usually against his own will.
* YourAnswerToEverything: Every problem Hitler faces will be met with ranting, Fegelein will always deal with his problems via antics, Krebs will point at maps, and of course Mallory's solution to everything is to blow it up.
* YourMom: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF3nqpIwBb4 Viva La Fegel 3]]'' features a "Yo Momma" contest.
* YuriFan: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6mniy20vas Hitler Ships]] [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Korrasami]]
