* GeniusBonus: Hitler's remark to Sawatzki that the human body can handle a small amount of Jewishness has some basis in his historical beliefs; the real Nuremberg laws considered Germans who were only 1/8 Jewish to be normal Germans.

Added DiffLines:

* CrossesTheLineTwice:
** Racial impersonations have become a risque form of comedy in the 2010s, but it's hard not to laugh at the sight of a German comedian coming off stage dressed like an Arab terrorist and taking off his costume, only to put on {{blackface}} for an Obama impression.
** Hitler shooting a small dog that bit him is a horrible act and [[spoiler:nearly destroys his political career]], but the sheer excessiveness, combined with the sight of him [[FunnyBackgroundEvent desperately trying to shake the dog off his leg while the unaware Sawatzki keeps talking]] about what a great animal lover Hitler is in front of the camera, makes it a hilarious moment of BlackComedy.
** The very fact that in the ending [[spoiler: people of color seem to unwittingly greet Hitler cheerfully while Neo-Nazis are disappointed in Hitler and think he's only a fake.]]

to:

[[redirect:YMMV/ErIstWiederDa]]* {{Anvilicious}}: The film ends with a montage showing real pictures of European nationalist and far right political movements while Hitler comments that he "can work with this". It drives the point home with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.
* MisaimedFandom: It's not uncommon for Neo-Nazis to like the book and its film adaptation, often agreeing with Hitler's points about modern Germany and his solutions.
%%* MusicToInvadePolandTo: One of the German trailers used the ''Music/RideOfTheValkyries'' with that effect in mind.
