Downfall Parody; Hitler Finds Out About VIATeC's New Site
VIATeC couldn't miss joining in on the Downfall meme sensation and this is the result.
According to Wikipedia:
Downfall (German: Der Untergang) is a 2004 German-Austrian epic drama film directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, depicting the final ten days of Adolf Hitler's life in his Berlin bunker and Nazi Germany in 1945.
One scene in the film, in which Hitler launches into a furious tirade upon finally realizing that the war is truly lost, has become a staple of internet viral videos. In these wildly anachronistic videos, the original audio of Ganz's voice is retained, but new subtitles are added so that he now seems to be reacting instead to some setback in present-day politics, sports, popular culture, etc. One parody depicted Hitler flying into a rage in response to being banned from Xbox Live. This video accumulated a vast number of YouTube views and was posted on video game related sites.
By 2010, there were thousands of such parodies, including one in which Hitler is incensed that people keep making Downfall parodies.
