This is played partly for laughs and partly as a parable in the movie "Er ist wieder da!"
Here Hitler pops up in contemporary Berlin and is flustered at first about what development Germany has taken, but then a small (fictional) TV station takes interest in him and so introduces him in their program.
The part of the parable is that Hitler is taken as a paragon for the dark parts of the human psyche, especially those that feed into chauvinism, discrimination, and even more sinister traits (it is explicitly stated as such in the end).
Would this qualify, or could another potential trope be derived from it?
