    • SteveIsTheDude, on 08/09/2008, -1/+2Yours is the best ***** comment on here. You link to WHY twitter is having probs.... Thanks.
  • ff4marvel, on 08/09/2008, -10/+21You know, these Hitler parody videos were pretty funny the first few times. But now it's been so overdone; this footage is seriously used to parody EVERYTHING, and it's just not that funny anymore.
    • boot20, on 08/09/2008, -3/+4Thank you! I thought I was the only one. It was funny the first 10 times, now it's just stupid.
    • Linake, on 08/09/2008, -4/+11This is the first time I've seen this footage used for anything, so it was still hilarious to me. I'm sure many other people are in the same situation, so why not let us have our fun, eh?
      • Nossie, on 08/09/2008, -0/+2replace hdvd with twitter, bluray with downtime and add a pinch more explicitives and you'll be close.... I believe the owners of the film pulled it from youtube ... not sure about now though but you'll get the idea
  • brickbat, on 08/09/2008, -7/+2That was the best laugh I've had in months.
  • Xraven92, on 08/09/2008, -4/+6god damnit Scoble
  • LR2_, on 08/09/2008, -4/+1My favorite one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEtSmoNkZSk
  • cdelongo, on 08/09/2008, -4/+0watching twitter vid on digg, will update later
  • eggballs, on 08/09/2008, -3/+1Heil Twitter!
  • HOTM, on 08/09/2008, -1/+16I don't get twitter. I have no real friends that use it, or even know it exists.... It seems to be great if you are in that whole Tech TV ring of people, but past that all I people I know just use Facebook.

    Great video though.
  • ctrlfreak13, on 08/09/2008, -1/+21The video is from the movie "Downfall" (english translation) and is a fantastic film that offers a unique perspective from inside Hitler's bunker at the end of WWII and was written using first-hand accounts of the events.

  • Kokichi, on 08/09/2008, -6/+13Twitter sucks.
  • Kozy, on 08/09/2008, -2/+1This one is the first i saw, about Ronaldo leaving Manchester United, i prefer it because of the creative swearing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWhWV8lt_1I
  • bmcnally, on 08/09/2008, -1/+1Bigger fan of Hitler gets banned from Xbox Live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfkDxF2kn1I
  • vrikis, on 08/09/2008, -4/+2two of my friends died while trying to send out a tweet that they were eating a baked potato
  • spankaccount, on 08/09/2008, -5/+2As someone who knew survivors of the Holocaust, this really isn't funny.
  • GunsGermsSteel, on 08/09/2008, -0/+3Videos like this are the reason Downfall was made. I'm sure Oliver Hirschbiegel couldn't be happier.
  • Whitey07, on 08/09/2008, -1/+2This video was pretty funny.
  • 9mileshigh, on 08/09/2008, -2/+0When did twitter ever rise?
  • glowwyrm, on 08/09/2008, -0/+0That may very well be the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Hysterical!
  • christianboutin, on 08/09/2008, -0/+2Apparently, "Steiner" is german for "Twitter"
  • brixtonasias, on 08/09/2008, -1/+1I think that's only funny for people who don't understand German.
  • Akaziel, on 08/09/2008, -0/+1I think most of us have seem that scene from "Downfall" re-subtitled for one thing or another (the aforementioned XBox Live one, the BluRay/HDDVD one, etc). It's been done many times, and yet always gets a giggle.

    Thus I think it's almost adorable that the guy who runs that site has the extensive "Oh dear, I hope this doesn't offend anybody! Just remember, this isn't about Hitler! It's just a joke, please don't be mad, blah blah blah". It's like the Internet just needs to pat him on the back and say "Shh, it's okay....we know."
  • craigshimmon, on 08/09/2008, -0/+0brilliant!! great find!
  • antych, on 08/09/2008, -0/+1lol nice one, Twitter is for losers
  • rizalembi, on 08/09/2008, -0/+0oh...i did't see it...but i fine the video later...sorry..
