Here, Hitler discovers Ohio State lost to Purdue [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3L\_i9o2fgA](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3L_i9o2fgA) Here, he loses XBox access [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfkDxF2kn1I) This his reaction to Terrell Owens to the Bills [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okhiJjuefPw) There are dozens of these all from the same 4 minute segment. Are there other clips out there? ---

There are probably hundreds of those clips by now.

The first one I saw was where they broke the news to him that Michael Jackson was dead. ---

There have actually been a few clips where they used a different rant from _Downfall_. If we continue discussing this, it will eventually devolve into an argument between those who think that this meme has produced massive sales of a previously obscure art house film and copyright absolutists who don’t believe this sort of use is covered by the Fair Use exception. ---

The Where’s Waldo rant uses other scenes and is hilarious. ---

> [@Long\_Time\_First\_Time](#): > > made-for-TV Hitler movie I think you’ve overlooked the significance of the Oscar-nominated cinema movie [_Der Untergang_](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downfall_(film)) (_Downfall_) - one of the first major portrayals of Hitler by a German filmmaker, and thus a cultural watershed. (IMO, it’s the astonishing quality of _Downfall_’s acting that makes the subtitled clips even more amusing, mind you. My favourite is the “Grammar… what’s the word…” one.)
