Godwin's Law: A new variation "as the number of webcomics based on ironic misappropriations of culture increases, the probability that one of them will be about Hitler approaches one."
Historical In-Joke - The punchline of the "Uniforms" comic. Here, have a ruined joke: Hugo Boss already made Nazi uniforms, so he's buying what he has already. Not just that, but Hugo Boss made SA uniforms, SA being the purged branch during the Night of the Long Knives. He's repeating history.
Hitler's testicles... er, testicle... uh... penis.
The 20 July plot, which is averted because Hitler thinks the bomber is bourgeois.
Incredibly Lame Pun: Pretty much all of Hitler's shirts feature some Nazi-related pun, including "Three Reichs and You're Out", "Heilvetica", and "Blitz or GTFO".
"OPERATION BRO-BAROSSA"
This is because it turns out that Hipster Hitler's arch-nemesis is... BROSEPH STALIN!!
And now he's using "reverse reichology" to get people to buy his shirts...
Memetic Mutation: Quite a few of the jokes use internet memes. invoked
Merchandise Driven: With only two strips up, the creators were running a poll as to which t-shirts based on the strip readers would most like to buy. By strip three, an on-line store was up with a dozen different t-shirts for sale. The entire strip seems to be little more than a cynical ploy to create a link-bait property as a vehicle to sell things to exactly the kind of people the strip parodies (not talking about Nazis here). However, we can all forgiven this because the strip really is just that funny.
is a Webcomic about Exactly What It Says on the Tin: the 20th century's most-hated dictator reimagined as a member of the 21st century's most-hated subculture.
