I’ll pass. Not funny, and using Hitler as a comdedic device makes light of how evil he & what he did was. Here’s what I wrote in 2008 about this subject:
In the last few years it’s become more and more acceptable to use Hitler as a comedic figure, in skits and youtube videos. What surprises me is that many Jews, (usually in their teens or early 20’s) think this is funny. A popular Jewish blogger whose site I read often recently posted a link to one of these videos.
Maybe it’s just me, but I find using Hitler for humor extremely distasteful. The man was the epitome of evil in the last century and the murderer of most of our people. When I was a kid we spoke of Hitler in hushed tones, sort of in a negative reverence. The utter and stark reality of what he did relegated him to a place below parody & humor. I’ve found his evolution into a comedic figure in the last few years something that takes away from the horror of what he and Nazi Germany did.
Poor taste. I can see some ignorant goyishe website posting a comic about Hitler, but we are Jews, we should know better…this is extremely disrespectful to the lives of our grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who perished. I propose that you remove the post altogether.
It’s hysterical.
I can’t stand all those people out there that get upset when someone makes fun of Hitler.
It’s good to make jokes about evil people. The only time it’s distasteful is when jokes are being made about the VICTIMS.
This is not a joke about victims of Hitler’s mass genocide. It’s a joke about Hitler.
seriously hesh?
Get off your high towers, Philo and Mordy. People like you two are vastly annoying. That said, this was okay. This specific play on words is as old as the “I like my juice from concentrate” joke. I didn’t really laugh, but it was ‘clever’.
