History YMMV / IronSky

* HilariousInHindsight: While this isn't the first time Creator/UdoKier (Kortzfleisch) has played a Nazi, it certainly wouldn't be the last; he'd go on to star in ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyWWII'' in its Zombies mode as Dr. Peter Straub, the main antagonist (modeled after Mr. Kier himself through performance-capture).

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: On the one side we have [[StupidJetpackHitler Moon]] [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazis]] who want to destroy and/or conquer the Earth. On the other side we have the people of Earth, a collection of {{Jerkass}}es and [[TheDitz Dumbasses so universally horrible they almost make the Nazis]] look like good guys in comparison.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment:
** Adler and Richter's populist message proving extremely successful after being adapted into the US Republican presidential campaign can have a bitter aftertaste after the real-world global rise of right-wing populism from 2015 onward, especially in the US.
** The Moon Nazis forcibly change Washington's black skin to white to "aryanize" him, making him appear like an albino black man, PlayedForLaughs because of the ridiculous pseudo-science involved. In the third season of ''Series/TheManInTheHighCastle'' aired in 2018, another work centered around technologically-advanced Nazis, their scientists are shown performing similar experiments on black people, this time playing it for unironic NightmareFuel.

* {{Anvilicious}}: Republicans are nazis, at least on the surface

* CriticalResearchFailure: 2018 was not an election year in the US. 2016 and 2020 were. Perhaps the film takes place in the same universe as ''Series/TheWestWing'', though it might also be a reference to the Palin 2010 jokes.

* MoralEventHorizon: When Vivian orders the attack on the Schwarze Sonne, over objections of "What about the women and children down there?". ([[FridgeLogic How the crew]] ''[[FridgeLogic knows]]'' there are women and children inside a secret Nazi base on the "dark side" of the moon, which they only first saw a minute earlier, we aren't told.)
** Considering the Nazis have been on the moon since the Second World War and aren't elderly, it is reasonable to assume that they have women and children inside their base.

** When the Indian representative sees the swastika on this incoming spaceships, he quickly hides his own NonNaziSwastika.

[[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment And that's all we have to say about that]].

* MST3KMantra: The characters don't take the science seriously. Why should you?

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The film is definitely critical of the Republican party, but its message is ''much'' more nuanced than "Republicans are terrible people." It's a treatise against an extreme nationalist mindset that encourages competition rather than cooperation among the nations (something the Republican party is certainly guilty of promoting, at least in recent years). In the film, an international dick-measuring contest reduces the people of Earth to such mindless, violent, selfish, slobbering monsters that the Nazis end up looking civilized by comparison.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The CGI was quite well done, and a surprising amount of it.

* CriticalResearchFailure: 2018 is not an election year. ([[WeAllLiveInAmerica Well, in Finland, it is, but the Finnish President is elected for a six-year term]].) 2016 and 2020 are.

** The national anthem of the Moon Nazis uses the tune of the old German patriotic song "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Wacht_am_Rhein Die Wacht am Rhein]]" with different lyrics. From World War One to the end of World War 2, "Die Wacht am Rhein" was so popular that it was one of the ''de facto'' German national anthems (the other one being the more famous - and still used today - "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutschlandlied Deutschlandlied]]"). So, the Nazis kept as their anthem a tune their ancestors viewed s such.

* CrazyAwesome: When Wiki/TheOtherWiki article has the summary using phrases such as "Nazi Space Battleship", and add in a few flying saucers and political/technological jabs, you're in for a ride...
