* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:
** Is Hitler the real Hitler? Is he his ghost in Hell? Or perhaps he's a clone who has no choice but to reenact the life of the original Hitler. The HRP channel itself seems to suggest that there is not just one Hitler, but now a whole bunch of different Hitlers who all live in alternate universes.
** Is Fegelein really messing with Hitler for his own pleasure? Or is he actually trying to kill Hitler so he can take his place as Fuhrer?
* AnnoyingVideoGameHelper: PlayedForLaughs in some of the 'Hitler plays' videos.
* {{Anvilicious}}: ''The Antic Menace'' condemns human {{greed}} in its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYnB0lYn4Gg fourth episode]], via a quote by Creator/CharlieChaplin.
* ArchivePanic: Hitler Rants Parodies has over a thousand parodies. Happy catching up.
* CargoShip: Krebs and his maps. Alternately, Krebs and his fish.
* CreepyAwesome: Goebbels thanks to his permanent KubrickStare.
* CrossesTheLineTwice: It's Adolf Hitler and his wacky adventures with his RagtagBunchOfMisfits!
%%* DesignatedLoveInterest: Gerda, to Gunsche.
* EnsembleDarkHorse:
** Fegelein, big time.
** Traudl Junge for being a SexySecretary who's also {{Adorkable}}.
* FanNickname: At least one given to each character.
** Hitler: Dolfy, Shitler, Mein Failure
** Günsche: Stupid Giant
** Jodl: Baldy, Baldilocks, Mr. Clean, [[Series/TheAddamsFamily Uncle Fester]], Bald Fuck
** Burgdorf: Fast-Talking Boozing Burgdorf
** Krebs: Krebs the Map Pointer
** Goebbels: [[Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse Dr. Skeletor]]
** Mohnke: Bonkers, Mohnkey
** Fegelein (FEGELEIN, FEGELEIN, FEGELEIN!): Anything with the prefix Fegel-, F-man
* FridgeBrilliance: Pick any Hitler Rant where Hitler and company interact with characters from or play/discuss games made or owned by Creator/{{Bethesda}}, such as ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'' and ''VideoGame/Doom2016''. Since Hitler is a popular choice for the HistoricalDomainCharacter and HistoricalVillainUpgrade tropes, he has appeared in the ''VideoGame/{{Wolfenstein}}'' series (which Bethesda currently owns) as a recurring GreaterScopeVillain, thus making him a Bethesda character.
* FridgeHorror: Why might Wiedling be constantly stopping Burgdorf from shooting Fritzsche? Because there is a possibility that Burgdorf might've pulled his "Magnificent Gun" on someone else, and compared to Fritzsche, that person might've not been so lucky. So Wiedling might be trying to prevent such an incident from happening again.
** [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos The Slender Man]] has been shown to exist in the Parody Universe, so who's saying that other internet horror characters don't exist in this universe? If so there is nothing stopping someone like Literature/JeffTheKiller or [[Blog/SlimySwampGhost Cartoon Cat]] from paying the bunker a visit...
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The ''Downfall'' parodies is so immensely popular in Japan, and it didn't take too long for Japanese fans to make their own. However, keep in mind that due to cultural differences, Japanese parodies vastly differ from Western ones: In Japan, the parodies -- both the Western and the Japanese ones -- are commonly known as 総統閣下シリーズ[[labelnote:transl.]]''Soutou Kakka Series'', meaning ''The Führer Series''[[/labelnote]]. Unlike the Western parodies, the Japanese parodies only use the film's SignatureScene (though other scenes are also used as well), and the main characters are given new {{Catchphrase}}s, based on... [[MondegreenGag the buffalaxed pronunciation of their German dialogues]]. A few examples: Hitler's "大っ嫌いだ！"[[labelnote:transl.]]''Daikkiraida!'', meaning ''I really hate it!''[[/labelnote]], "バーカ！"[[labelnote:transl.]]''Bāka!'', meaning ''Idiot!''[[/labelnote]], and "畜生めぇぇ！"[[labelnote:transl.]]''Chikushō mē!'', meaning ''Goddamn it!'', the result of mishearing "Sie ist ohne Ehre!"[[/labelnote]].
* GrowingTheBeard: When it initially took off, most of the videos were just Hitler ranting about whatever he was informed of in the video and only used two scenes from ''Downfall'', Hitler's rant regarding Steiner's failure and the scene where Gunsche informs Hitler of Fegelein's desertion. The videos began to evolve once more ''Downfall'' scenes were used and more named characters emerged, being given various personalities rather than just being unnamed informers (Fegelein and his antics, Gunsche as the CaptainObvious informer, Jodl as the CommanderContrarian, etc.).
* HarsherInHindsight: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Nppu3Iyanc This parody]] depicts Hitler's TV channel getting hijacked by Fegelein via a transmission showing Eduard Khil singing Trololo, during which Hitler suffered a stroke and was taken to a hospital. Two years after the video was uploaded, Khil suffered a stroke that took his life.
** The "Fenton The Dog" one ends on Hitler deciding to call on (then still Sir) Jimmy Savile to help him. Not longer after the latter's history of sexual deviancy became public knowledge. Also counts as HilariousInHindsight in a CrossesTheLineTwice sort of way, given one dead depraved scumbag is calling on another to help him, and almost makes Jimmy as bad as Hitler just by association given that he'd been an object of lampoon and seen as a complete creep for years beforehand.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIkxDOSK7Ag The thirteenth part of the "War of the Hitlers" series.]] Doubles as SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** Given Hermann Fegelein's position as a superhuman master of [[StupidJetpackHitler eldritch Nazi super-science]], it makes a twisted sort of meta-sense why [[Creator/ThomasKretschmann his actor]] would again be cast in such a role as HYDRA leader Baron von Strucker in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron''.
** Constantin Film, the same company which brought us ''Downfall'' and tried in vain to delete all of its parody videos, has since released a WhatIf movie about Adolf Hitler titled ''Film/LookWhosBack'' -- which happens to be a satirical comedy in which the Führer [[FishOutOfTemporalWater somehow finds himself in the 21st century]], is treated as a [[AdolfHitlarious laughingstock]] instead of a terrible tyrant (at least at first), and even becomes a [[MemeticMutation YouTube personality]]. Hell, there's even a few [[ShoutOut references]] to ''Downfall'', such as an image of Bruno Ganz's role as Adolf Hitler, and a spoof of the classic rant scene in which the [[DaEditor editor of the media company]] that handles Hitler's media return takes his place as the pissed off boss.
** ''Film/IronSky'' features a scene that homages the famous rant scene, and stars Götz Otto (Günsche's actor in ''Downfall''). Shots from the film end up being used by ''Hitler Rants Parodies'' in his ''Finality Saga'' trilogy, where Günsche is the main antagonist and a spy for the Space Nazis.
* HoYay: Krebs and Burgdorf. Also Hitler and Gunsche. No, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3Q4eYUmETo really]], and let's not forget Fegelein and Hitler.
* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: What some people thought of parodies that only used the "original bunker scene".
* JerkassWoobie: Adolf Hitler (the version you see in ''Downfall'' Parodies). He's still a [[{{Jerkass}} mean]] and [[HairTriggerTemper hotheaded]] VillainProtagonist, and he's often [[AssholeVictim very]] [[UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist unsympathetic]]. However he isn't as evil as the real life Hitler, as HRP's version of the character turns out to ''NOT'' be a racist war criminal. [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain You'll probably feel sorry]] for his [[ButtMonkey extreme case of bad luck]], just as much as [[BlackComedy you'll be laughing at his suffering]].
* MemeticBadass:
** Fegelein, largely thanks to his JokerImmunity. He almost always evades Hitler and even if he's killed, he's back in the next episode anyway.
** Music/KateBush not only is the most talented singer in the Parody Universe, but she's led ''entire armies'' against Bieber's fans and several times and ''always won''. I think it's worth pointing out that when the United Bieber Fever Alliance first appeared the entire German army couldn't stop them, but a platoon of Kate Bush fans come onto the scene and they immediately start dropping like flies.
* MemeticMutation: The videos themselves are a prime example of this.
** Krebs and his fish.
* MemeticTroll: Fegelein is constantly portrayed as a nuisance.
* MisaimedFandom: [[https://youtu.be/Fu4gosgp-cc The Fegelstation series]] by ''Fegelein: The Lost Tapes'' were some of the first and more popular videos to combine elements of LetsPlay and usual ''Downfall'' parodies, and had [[FollowTheLeader many follow ups by other Untergangers]], including ''Hitler Rants Parodies''' "Reichstation" videos. Unfortunately, most of them seem to miss the point: while it's true that Hitler couldn't get far, this is because Fegelein made the games UnwinnableByDesign. In ''VideoGame/SonicCD'' part of "[[https://youtu.be/HmASDp7w-VY The Fegelstation 4]]", Hitler managed to complete half of the game up until getting an instant GameOver at the beginning of Wacky Workbench. Though exceptions aren't unheard of, most people seem to think Hitler's poor performance is a main source of comedy, and depict him being bad at pretty much any video game, even if Fegelein's intentional bugs aren't involved. Best summarized by one of the comments under The Fegelstation 4.
-->'''[=MonguinAssasin=]''': Many tried to make sequels to this video series, but they don't realize why these videos are so funny. It's not because Hitler sucks. It's because an antic was added into each of the video games so Hitler can't beat it.
-->'''Fegelein: The Lost Tapes''': I was wondering for the longest time when someone would finally get it.
* NarmCharm: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lcottCoAjk Kyubey tricks Hitler into becoming a magical girl]]. Of course, the video is [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments hysterically funny]] from the beginning to the end, but then you realized how much the DespairEventHorizon of either the movie's Hitler and [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Sayaka]] [[spoiler:before turning into a witch]] resemble each other, and how Hitler died on April 30, [[spoiler:the Walpurgis Night]].
* NightmareFuel: [[NightmareFuel/HitlerRants Has its own page.]]
* NightmareRetardant: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLKAMkQ2VXY The Goebbelman]] in itself is a generally scary video in the series about the ghost of Joseph Goebbels haunting the bunker, possessing people as he go... But if you look closely in the background while his is possessing his wife trying to convince Hitler into going to sleep, you will notice that the actual Joseph Goebbels is present in blink-and-miss moment behind her.
* ShipToShipCombat: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J86p6yNMTAE Hitler dislikes the direction that]] ''{{Series/iCarly}}'s'' relationship development went. Even includes a "Never thought I'd say this but I agree with Hitler." top rated comment as of the edit.
* StrawmanHasAPoint: Usually Hitler is presented as the embodiment of {{Hatedom}} during his rants, but other times he actually presents legitimate arguments. Expect lots of comments saying "Never thought I'd agree with Hitler" when that happens.
* TearJerker:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay_HlWBCkZw&t=12m53s The ending]] of War of the Hitlers' Episode 12.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYgyDW8ugR0 A Lonely Christmas.]] The worst part? It's TruthInTelevision for 25% of the elderly.
** Another Christmas-themed TearJerker is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE-C8l6bpps Hitler's Christmas Dilemma]]. The video has MultipleEndings. [[spoiler:Both are {{Downer Ending}}s]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwImZpi6RBA Hitler stops time]] - At least until the end.
** Any video, especially from Hitler Rants Parodies, that commemorates a celebrity who has recently passed away. That goes double for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1R4oUBj0L0 this video commemorating]] Creator/BrunoGanz.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T1txBRoQxQ Hitler reacts to the fall of Afghanistan]] where he's furious at the failure of stopping the Taliban and horrified at the fate of the Afghan people.
* UnintentionallySympathetic: Hitler in ''Hitler is a Mall Santa''. In the process of trying to buy Christmas gifts for the others, he endures a '''''long''''' NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished [[spoiler:that's ultimately AllForNothing]]. Sure, he's usually TheChewToy and a JerkassWoobie... but this time, he can just come across as a straightforward {{Woobie}}.
