Red-Flag Recreation Material

She said, "Human Centipede is a tour de force"
I think, "Holy shit, I'm gonna be the main course"

— Tom Cardy, "Red Flags"

In the event that a villain's pastimes don't consist solely of things like animal abuse, sexual assault, bloodsports, and golf, chances are that they'll be portrayed enjoying TV shows and books like anyone else on the planet. However, it's also very common for their choice in media to be something that gels with their nature, often to serve as a red flag to the audience before the full scope of their unpleasantness is revealed — hence the name.

Most commonly, mundane entertainment media enjoyed by villains takes the form of extremely dark subject matter: horror movies and novels are very popular, especially with serial killers, Blood Knights, and even outright monsters. More strategic villains may enjoy works like The Art of War or The Prince, the better to emphasize their calculating natures. And of course, overtly political villains will often have a work that emphasizes their philosophy of choice — Mein Kampf being an obvious presence on any Neo-Nazi's shelf.

This may overlap with Wicked Cultured, but not always. Though Red Flag Recreation might include classical novels, films, music, and even artworks, it will always feature extremely morbid subject matter — like the works of the Marquis de Sade, for example. For good measure, lighter classical works are often the mainstay of the heroic Cultured Badass.

See also Pastimes Prove Personality and Villains Love Entertainment. Depending on the nature of the entertainment, may overlap with New Media Are Evil or Murder Simulators. If the character shows interest in such media as a child, it might overlap with Troubling Unchildlike Behaviour, Entertainment Above Their Age, and either Enfant Terrible (if they're a villain who's a kid) or Early Personality Signs (if they later grow up evil).

Compare and contrast Bad People Abuse Animals, in which animal abuse as a form of entertainment is used as an immediate confirmation rather than a red flag.

See Damned By a Fool's Praise if the author has the morally depraved character liking a certain reading or viewing material as a Take That! against the work.

Examples:

Anime & Manga

• Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories: Larxene, member of the villainous Organization XIII, is seen reading a book by the Marquis de Sade, the infamous French libertine writer. In canon, she is quite a sadistic assassin, who delights in tormenting the hero Sora and the girl Naminé — as much as an all-ages Disney/Square Enix game allows.
• In Liar Game, the villainous Yokoya is shown to be reading Hitler's Mein Kampf while he was being recruited into the game. He then criticizes the dictator, not because of his atrocities or his ideals, but because he committed suicide and failed to bring his plans to fruition.
• The first episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! features Seto Kaiba, still in full-villain mode, reading Also sprach Zarathustra. Interestingly, one can argue that even after the bulk of his Heel–Face Turn character development he never quite sheds his dreams of being a sort of Übermensch.

Audio Plays

• Big Finish Doctor Who: In "Master," one of the Doctor's gambits results in the Master having all memory of his past misdeeds suppressed, allowing him to live a relatively normal life as Dr. John Smith. Unfortunately, the Master's villainous personality is only dormant, not gone, resulting in increasingly troubling symptoms for the otherwise mild-mannered physician. When the Doctor inspects John's collection of books, he finds it full of works on the human mind, collected by the ex-Master in an attempt to understand his own brain... but it's not until he finds The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde that he starts getting really concerned, though.

Comic Books

• Discussed and ultimately inverted in Detective Comics #638 "The Bomb", where Batman grows a hunch that the titular bomb-mutant isn't the psycho-killer The Men in Black make her out to be when he sees books like Pride and Prejudice in her cell. He then immediately lampshades it:
  Batman: That's wrong, of course. You could be the biggest monster in the world and still read what you read.
• Nowhere Men: The four members of the eponymous Beatles-esque science team are given profiles in a magazine article at the start of the series, all of which include favourite songs, movies, and books. In Simon Grimshaw's profile, his favourite book is Atlas Shrugged, firmly establishing him as the group's cold-hearted business-minded Token Evil Teammate long before he's revealed to be up to anything overtly villainous.

Fan Works

• Danganronpa: Paradise Lost: Insufferable Genius Akihiro Garaki mentions that one of his personal favorite books is The Island of Doctor Moreau. In Chapter 3, he's revealed to be, like Moreau, an Evilutionary Biologist who'll go so far as to gruesomely fuse his own sister with a rat.

Films — Animated

• 101 Dalmatians: Horace and Jasper are criminals who want to kill and skin puppies. One sign that they're no good is that their favourite Show Within a Show is a game show about guessing the crimes of criminals.

Film — Live Action

• American Psycho: Though Serial Killer Patrick Bateman claims to enjoy musicals like Les Misérables and can ramble on about Phil Collins and Huey Lewis for hours on end, it's clear that these are just superficial methods of disguising his true nature. In private, he can be seen watching porn films and horror movies like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, early indications of his real interests — just in case audiences might mistake the first two murders as one-offs.
• Beetlejuice: Betelgeuse mentions that he's seen The Exorcist a hundred and sixty-seven times "and it keeps getting funnier every single time I see it!", firmly establishing him as an extremely morbid character even before he starts launching ghostly attacks on the Maitlands.
• The Book of Eli: The first thing we see of Carnegie is him sitting in his office (in the town he took over) reading a biography of Benito Mussolini.
• Central Intelligence: Played with concerning Robbie Weirdicht/Bob Stone's interests. His interests in the present day when he reunites with Calvin Joyner initially seem harmless and occasionally even girly, such as a unicorn shirt, Twilight, and Sixteen Candles. It's when he explains why he likes that stuff that it veers into this trope: he likes unicorns because they can impale people with their horns, and he gushes about the werewolves in Twilight the way one would about the werewolves in a straightforward, non-romantic horror film. While he's not a villain, he does turn out to be a CIA agent who is willing to quickly and gruesomely kill his opponents when necessary, and is also a Cloud Cuckoolander who is often oblivious about people viewing him that way despite otherwise being so skilled and confident in his current job.
• In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Mike Teavee is changed from being obsessed with television to being a gamer whose interview after he pulls the Golden Ticket takes place while he's playing a very violent shooter game. And apart from being an Insufferable Genius, he's just as much of a disruptive, selfish Bratty Half-Pint as he was in the original story.
• Hellboy: In the DVD special features, the characters are all given their own profiles, including likes and dislikes. The apocalyptic-minded Rasputin naturally enjoys Paradise Lost and the works of Modest Mussorgsky.
• The sequels to The Human Centipede have a Meta Twist on this, with each subsequent film portraying the previous films as works of fiction In-Universe... and becoming inspirations for the Villain Protagonists' own uniquely horrific acts of kidnapping, torture, and worse.
• Downplayed in Mermaid Down, since the Big Bad Dr. Beyer is introduced as evil in his Establishing Character Moment, but when he gets back to his private asylum he is shown to be a weapons collector, and has a book about serial killer H.H. Holmes as the secret door to a hidden torture chamber on his yacht.
• In Seed of Chucky when Chucky is trying to fill a cup with his seed, he looks through a bunch of porn mags and none of them interest him, but then he finds an issue of Fangoria (a horror magazine) and is able to... get the job done.
• Se7en: Invoked. After a "Eureka!" Moment, Detective Somerset is able to home in on the Seven Deadly Sins killer's identity with the help of a friend at the FBI, who have been secretly monitoring library borrowing habits to isolate potential terrorists. From the Bureau's data, the killer turns out to have been borrowing The Divine Comedy, Paradise Lost, Helter Skelter, In Cold Blood, and Of Human Bondage.
• Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: The meagre library on Ceti Alpha V includes some very dark works, including Paradise Lost, Dante's Inferno, and Moby-Dick. As such, Khan's thematic connections to Lucifer and self-destructive obsession with revenge are hinted at well before he formally reintroduces himself with the ambush on Chekhov's team.
• Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory: As with his counterpart in the original novel, Mike Teavee is obsessed with television, especially Westerns... and he's also a mean-spirited brat who proves to be just as cavalier and blunt as the cowboys he idolizes — to the point of even dressing like one. However, this incarnation of Mike proves to be even worse: like the other kids, he's been offered a bribe from Mr Slugworth to spy on Wonka's inventions, but he's the only one definitely confirmed to have accepted it, as he can be heard asking his mother if Mr Slugworth might pay extra for certain information.
• Zodiac: The Zodiac Killer's first letter remarks on the joys of hunting his victims as "man is the most dangerous animal of all", which Robert Graysmith identifies as a reference to The Most Dangerous Game. As such, police get very interested when the prime suspect Arthur Allen Leigh admits that it's his favourite book.

Literature

• Played with in The ABC Murders as the material in question is outwardly innocuous. Franklin Clarke proudly admits to rereading his favorite children's book by Edith Nesbit. However, it's one of the clues that make Poirot suspect him since it has long been figured out that the killer has a playful, boyish disposition. Not to mention that the book turns out to be The Railway Children, and the murder spree is railway-guide-themed.
• Animorphs: In "Animorphs: The Discovery", it's foreshadowed quite early on that the group's Sixth Ranger David can't be trusted, not only by his cowardice and lack of maturity but by the fact that he likes horror comics like Spawn and heavy metal bands like Megadeth.
• Greg Rucka's Novelization of Batman: No Man's Land has one of the Penguin's mooks observe that he's constantly reading The Prince. Poor guy thinks it's a fairy tale.
• The Bone Clocks: Hugo Lamb, having already established himself as a charming con artist and thief, reads The Art of War (Sun Tzu) while on holiday in Switzerland. Not long afterwards, he screws over his friends, abandons his family, eschews a chance for redemption with Holly Sykes, and plunges to new lows by accepting an offer of recruitment from the the Anchorites.
• Boy Parts: Irina is obsessed with "extreme" cinema. She's mentioned as watching Nekromantik and Irréversible among others, and she's an S&M photographer with a special interest in very young-looking men, some of them actually underage teenage boys. It's also suggested, but not made clear, that she tortured, murdered, and dismembered a runaway.
• Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Discussed in one book where Rodrick Heffley and his friends had to watch horror movies and then draw the first thing that comes to mind, as part of a study on whether watching horror movies gave people "violent thoughts". Rodrick's brother Greg notes that they did do some nightmarish drawings, though none of them ever became violent (just a bit jerkish).
• Hannibal Lecter:
  • In the backstory to Red Dragon, FBI agent Will Graham first realized that Hannibal Lecter was the very Serial Killer the two of them had been working together to catch when he glanced at Lecter's bookshelf and saw a copy of The Wound Man, a medieval surgical diagram that resembled the killer's latest work.
  • In the sequel, The Silence of the Lambs, Clarice Starling suspects she is in the home of the Serial Killer dubbed "Buffalo Bill" - a man who, among other things, inserts moth cocoons down the throats of his victims - when she notices the Macabre Moth Motif in the decor.
• Deconstructed in How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom. Main character Souma Kazuya was a humanities undergrad in Japan and is a big fan of The Prince in particular. However, whenever he refers to it (which is often, especially in the first four volumes), his Internal Monologue goes into great detail on how the work is frequently misquoted and misunderstood, and how his current course of action is Truer to the Text. For example, he explains that the famous comment that a ruler should prefer to be feared is a Quote Mine: Machiavelli actually wrote that a ruler should strive to be both loved and feared and only prefer fear if they're forced to choose between them, and furthermore that they should above all avoid being hated. At most, his admiration of Machiavelli is a signal that he's a Guile Hero who's willing and able to Shoot the Dog on the rare occasion the situation requires it; aside from this, he's very much The Good King.
• In the novelization of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Captain Nemo is initially saddened at the damage inflicted on Dorian Gray's library during the initial fight with the Fantom... up until he takes a closer look and realizes that the books are works by the Marquis de Sade, annotated with illustrations and even photographs, a good indication that Dorian is a) Deathless and Debauched, and b) almost as anti-heroic as the rest of the League. He's actually the Fantom's mole on the team.
• In the Modesty Blaise novel I, Lucifer, the villains Mr. and Mrs. Seff like putting on puppet shows with extremely dark and sexual subject matter (supposedly their profession before they turned Diabolical Mastermind). One of their senior minions muses that the shows are even more creepy because of their tendency to manipulate other people psychologically as they physically manipulate the puppets.
• The Name of the Rose: Though Jorge of Burgos cannot read for himself (being blind), he expresses a great admiration for texts concerning the apocalypse, rhapsodizing about one to Adso in their first conversation — firmly identifying him as easily the most extreme of all the monks at the abbey. He's actually responsible for the deaths around the abbey, having driven Adelmo to suicide out of homophobia and poisoned the book of Poetics in order to prevent mankind from accepting laughter as permissible.
• Northanger Abbey: Implied. Co-antagonist John Thorpe, who generally dismisses the novels Catherine loves as fluff, only professes to liking two: Tom Jones and The Monk. Both novels are much more sexual and scandalous in nature than Catherine's current read, The Mysteries of Udolpho ^note  Whose author actually despised The Monk so much she wrote The Italian in response , and center around a virtuous character's downfall due to sex, giving away Thorpe's less-than-innocent intentions for Catherine. Since Catherine hasn't read those novels, however, the intent is lost on her.
• Red Dwarf: In "Last Human", a visit to the alternate Starbug reveals that Lister's alternate self has a room overflowing with cheap horror paperbacks, heavy metal records, and magazines featuring a worrying number of Nazis. Our Lister — who prefers Frank Capra movies and reggae/rockabilly music — considers his other self's tastes to be a bit disturbing but ultimately dismisses any concerns he might have, believing that his alternate has to be enough like him to be worth rescuing from Cyberia. He's wrong. The alternate Lister is a brutal psychopath who murdered his shipmates, kills several defenceless guards during the prison break, and forces his rescuer to take his place at Cyberia.
• The Star Diaries: In "The Eleventh Voyage", one of the reasons for the Calculator's alleged rebellion and vicious hatred of humanity is that he absorbed the rather colorful arrangement of books and documents from his starship's cargo, including protocols of meetings of the cannibal section of Neanderthal writers' union, three fictional Agatha Christie murder mysteries, the biography of Jack the Ripper, and the memoirs of Marquis de Sade.

Live-Action TV

• American Horror Story: Hotel: Early in the series, the Countess and Donovan reportedly enjoy binge-watching House of Cards (US) when they're not out hunting for blood, an appropriate choice given how manipulative and treacherous they are — even towards each other.
• Black Mirror: Played with in the episode "USS Callister." Programmer Robert Daly plays the virtual reality game Infinity in order to escape from disappointments in the real world, with his NPC crew apparently reskinned to resemble his boss and fellow employees. As such, when he responds to a bad day at work by throttling the NPC version of Walton and using him as a footstool, the Intended Audience Reaction is to assume that Daly has a dark side under his shy exterior. However, it's soon revealed that the characters aren't NPC programs at all, but fully sapient doppelgangers of real people that Daly has cloned and imprisoned for his own twisted amusement — meaning that this isn't a character-revealing choice of entertainment, but a conscious act of villainy.
• Boardwalk Empire: In Nucky's first meeting with the Commodore in the pilot episode, the latter remarks disgustedly on his former protege's dealings with Arnold Rothstein and hands him a book he's been reading: The International Jew by Henry Ford, a notoriously antisemitic work. It's an early sign that the Commodore is a nasty piece of work even before his credentials as a Retired Monster are revealed. Given his ties to the Ku Klux Klan and his attacks on Chalky White in season 2, it's also foreshadowing.
• Criminal Minds episode Popular Kids provides a two-fold example. The murder was committed by a local rich kid, who tries to set up a local group, "Lords of Destruction" as the Fall Guys by staging signs of a Satanic ritual at the crime scene. The local police are quick to believe LOD is a Satanic Cult based on their style of dress and taste for heavy metal. However, the true culprit is foreshadowed early on when Reid notices the rich kid, Cory, is carrying around a Friedrich Nietzsche book.
• Father Ted: In "Are You Right There Father Ted", Ted borrows a copy of The Shining from Father Seamus Fitzpatrick... and it turns out that reading the extremely dark Stephen King novel is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Fitzpatrick's hobbies, as he's also an avid collector of World War II memorabilia — all of which are from the Nazis, leaving Ted deeply uncomfortable when he returns the book. Soon after, it turns out Fitzpatrick is actually a Nazi sympathizer and has been harbouring a former Wehrmacht soldier in his house. Fortunately, this resolves itself when he and said fugitive accidentally mix up Valium with the elderly Nazi's cyanide pills and kill themselves. Unfortunately for Ted, Fitzpatrick left him all the memorabilia in his will.
• Firefly: In "War Stories":
  • Downplayed with Shepherd Book, a very devout and good-natured traveling pastor who is strongly implied to have a significantly less-savory past: he's a crack shot, a martial artist, and is strangely familiar with the inner workings of both the criminal underworld and the Alliance's intelligence services. In The Teaser he quotes from the writings of Shan Yu, a psychotic dictator who wrote a great deal on "war, torture, the limits of human endurance" while wondering aloud if the surgeries the Alliance performed on River's brain were all part of an attempt to see how much she could take, "to truly meet her" in Shan Yu's words.
  • Played straight later on in the episode with Adelai Niska, already known from an earlier episode to be a complete psychopath, who references Shan Yu while torturing a subordinate who had skimmed from a Protection Racket. He later repeats Book's quotation about "truly meeting someone" by torturing them, while torturing Mal.
• House of Anubis: Vera, who is first introduced as a seemingly nice housemother with shady motivations, quickly begins to encourage Victor to be smarter about the way he handles the children. She openly references The Art of War (Sun Tzu) and uses its tactics to take advantage of what the kids are doing and gain an advantage over them, one of the first signs that she's a lot more cunning and calculating than she seems. Later on, Victor himself begins to use tactics from the book, which results in an excited "Victor! You've been reading The Art of War!"
• House of Cards (UK): Francis Urquhart is a fan of Shakespeare's darker plays, most prominently Macbeth and Richard III, taking great delight in quoting from them before enacting another masterful act of treachery or murdering associates who have outlived their usefulness.
• House of Cards (US): Frank Underwood is an avid gamer who enjoys extremely violent video games like God of War — his method of venting his inner brutality when not scheming and backstabbing his way across Washington. Amusingly enough, he finds more introspective games like The Stanley Parable dissatisfying and "too much like my real life."
• Red Dwarf: Played for laughs in "Demons And Angels." The Low Red Dwarf crew, as the personification of all the darkest aspects of the characters, are found to possess a collection of entertainment media "designed to sicken the soul and shrivel the spirit": Exploitation Films, weapons magazines, Hammond Organ music, and karaoke.
• The Sandman: In "Dream A Little Dream," John Dee keeps himself entertained at the mental hospital by reading a book on the history of occultism in Britain, resulting in very tense conversation with his mother about one of the figures in the book, Roderick Burgess — John's long-lost father. Not only is this a worrying attempt to delve into his dark family history, but it's also an early warning sign of John's psychotic hatred of lies in any form, as the book is a non-fiction work.
• Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Garak's love of Cardassian literary classics like The Neverending Sacrifice not only indicates that he's a proud Cardassian even in exile, but the fact that he praises the novel's borderline fascist theme of obsessive devotion to the state regardless of cost is one of many hints that he's Reformed, but Not Tamed: he may not be torturing or assassinating Bajorans anymore, but he's more than willing to do the same to Starfleet's enemies if it means saving Cardassia and the Alpha Quadrant (in that order).
• Supernatural: The mid-tier Demon Crowley is introduced in "Abandon All Hope" watching a Nazi propaganda silent film on the home cinema system of his luxurious mansion.
• Twisted Metal (2023): Dirty Cop Agent Shepard, who's additionally the lieutenant of a fascist police state, is eventually walked in on while pleasuring himself to a lolicon manga.
• Vinyl: Demented radio personality Buck Rogers is encountered drunkenly playing the drums to Black Sabbath's "Iron Man," and later watches Frankenstein on a portable screen in his mansion — despite freely admitting that the film scared him when he was a kid. For good measure, he follows up by drawing a gun and shooting the monster in the head the moment Karloff gets a close-up, all firmly establishing him as dangerously unstable.

Music

• Tom Cardy: The song "Red Flags" is about the singer hitting it off with a girl on a date, until he figures out her favorite film is The Human Centipede. Over the course of the song, she tries to relieve his itchy eye (really him trying to signal the waiter) with a knife and wishes she could sew the guests at their potential wedding together like the victims in the film, confirming his suspicions, but he's still willing to give her a chance.
• In "Gopniki", a song by Zoopark, the classic traits of a gopnik include listening to heavy metal, Arabesque, and Ottawan. It Makes Sense in Context, since a lot of music genres and performers, even those that seem quite innocuous nowadays, were prohibited or at least severely frowned upon by the Soviet government, and listening to them at all already meant one wasn't quite a law-abiding citizen.

Theatre

• Little Shop of Horrors: A cut song, "I Found a Hobby", had Orin Scrivello sing about how he grew up using torture scenes from horror films and lithographs of torture devices to turn himself on from the time he was ten years old, until finally, he grew up to be a dentist and enact torture as part of his job (as well as domestically abuse his girlfriend Audrey).
• Jud Fry of Oklahoma! is a quiet and lonely farmhand with an unrequited affection for his employer Laurey. When Curly, Jud's rival for Laurey's affections, visits Jud's squalid digs, he remarks upon the pictures of nude women hanging on the wall, and it isn't long before Jud shows Curly the rest of his vast collection of erotica, the content of which Curly remarks could make him "go blind." ^note Considering the setting is 1912 in a very remote part of an unincorporated territory, it wouldn't take much to shock the average person. This antisocial behavior, coupled with his Hero Worship for a farmhand who murdered his employer's entire family after being spurned (assuming he isn't talking about himself), cements him as not only a poor romantic interest for Laurey but a genuinely unstable individual who won't take kindly to being rejected.

Video Games

• Bioshock 2: Very early in the game, players can find copies of Unity and Metamorphosis, a book of radical collectivist philosophy by Sofia Lamb. Players will naturally be suspicious of anyone reading the book, given that the author was last seen forcing Subject Delta to kill himself in the intro... and a few rooms later, it turns out that the city is now ruled by the Rapture Family, who all revere Lamb as a prophet and her book as a bible. As such, copies of Unity And Metamorphosis are one of the many warning signs of Rapture Family territory, followed closely by butterfly sigils, cult graffiti, and hordes of extremist splicers.
• Saints Row IV: Played with. Galactic conqueror and Big Bad Zinyak demonstrates his Wicked Cultured credentials through dark works, quoting from Macbeth and playing music like Night On Bald Mountain on one of the Mind Prison's radio stations. However, the dark works aren't actually his favourite: Zinyak's true passion is for the lighter classics, most prominently the works of Jane Austen. It turns out that he's such a Loony Fan of her that he's actually used his time machine to kidnap Jane Austen herself from the past and is currently keeping her imprisoned aboard his mothership. Following the events of the game, Jane is freed from the Mind Prison by the Boss, hence the mysterious narrator of the game.

Web Videos

• CollegeHumor: The video "His Netflix is F*cked Up" features a woman on a first date who decides to investigate her prospective boyfriend's Netflix history while he fixes her a drink. The man seems to be interested in multiple red flag topics including Nazis, Anime (which the woman thinks is the same as Hentai), the rape scene from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, animal cruelty (Old Yeller getting shot), suicide cults, and Nazi Tentacle Hentai. However, he's revealed to be sharing an account with his ex, so it's not clear which of the red flags really apply to him.
• Mr. Plinkett Reviews: Discussed in the review of Revenge of the Sith. Plinkett finds it weird that Anakin doesn't question how Palpatine is reading the works of "Darth Plagueis the Wise" despite supposedly being on the light side. He compares it to someone casually mentioning that they're reading Mein Kampf, and how that would naturally grind the conversation to a halt while making you question the person you're talking to.

Western Animation

• Family Guy: In the early seasons, Stewie Griffin enjoys reading books like The Art of War and The Prince when he isn't at work on his latest doomsday device. As the series continued, Stewie evolved from a Bond Villain to a broadly amoral genius, and his tastes expanded to less obviously villainous material like children's TV shows and the History Channel.
• Robot Chicken: Played with in this sketch featuring Evil-Lyn and Teela watching TV while on treadmills at the gym...
  Evil-Lyn: You care if I change the channel?
  Teela: Really? Rachel Ray?
  Evil-Lyn: Yeah, so what?
  Teela: Your name is Evil-Lyn. I thought you'd watch something more, y'know, [waves arms dramatically] eeeeeee-vil.
  Evil-Lyn: What do you think I watch when I'm on the treadmill? Faces of Death?
  Teela: Yeah, maybe.
• South Park: "The Passion of the Jew" is about Eric Cartman watching The Passion of the Christ, and how he, as an Anti-Semitic person, interpreted the film as propaganda against Jews. He even starts to dress up as Adolf Hitler and convinces several oblivious people around town to spread the messages. Cartman then gets the people to march around town, spouting Anti-Semitic words in German while they are none the wiser.
