Here is one. It may not be the same one the poster was talking about though.

That was pretty good, even though the subtitles were a little quick. The downside to these clips is that I’ve got Downfall in my DVD queue and when I get to that scene I’m not going to be able to stop myself laughing.

That’s not the one I was thinking of, but I think it’s actually better than mine now that I’ve found it. Not as good as I remembered: [here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4s7dXMuAPo)

However, in searching for it I found two that amuse me even more.

The first one is still the best, the one with Hitler as a cowboys fan.

Terrific stuff and I haven’t come across this meme before.

Yes, I think that line is funny in each version.

The self-referential ones are pretty amusing.

I have a script I’d like to have produced. Anyone got a good idea of what to use to get the subtitles on this, or willing to do it themselves?

Hitler was a beautiful dancer, not a lot of people know that.

At first I thought, “wow, the level of acting, costumes, etc is just incredible for a short about a video game,” then I realized that the grammar in the subtitles didn’t hold up to the production value, then I read the description. I’ve never seen _Downfall_ :).

This is great. Pick a spot on the tree, and explore the hundreds of branches.

Agreed. That was the first one I ever saw, courtesy of our beloved Dope. Twisted, brilliant fun. And I _still_ want to see the movie!

I’ve only seen the one about Brett Favre, which I thought was hilarious. The funny thing is that that scene in the movie is horrible and full of fear, and if I ever see it again I don’t think I’ll be able to not laugh.

I agree. That one’s a riot. Hell, let’s link to it:
