Update: It seems Constantin Film AG has contacted YouTube about using their video, and YouTube has started removing them. Too bad, this was probably the best publicity this film could have gotten. Another sad case of the entertainment industry not understanding the consumer.

For those who follow YouTube like it’s the trash-heap of pop-culture (like we do), you may have come across one of these crazy sub-titled Hitler videos.  It’s actually a scene from an Oscar-nominated German film called Der Untergang (it was released in North American theaters as “Downfall”).

The parodies are too numerous to count, but the formula is the same: Take a scene with Hitler and a bunch of people, a whole lot of drama, and what appears to be some fabulous acting. Add in the ridiculous sub-titles. Voila, cheap laughs!

And every imaginable topic has one of these videos.

In one, Hitler finds out that Churchill has stolen all his Big Macs; in another, Hitler gets banned from Wikipedia.

You get the idea.

Some are quite clever, and some are just plain stupid. Some are quite funny, and some are downright offensive.

Then we came across this one –

Life really boils down to 2 questions …

1. Should I get a dog?

2. Should I have children?

There’s nothing like cute animals set to music that makes “It’s a Small World” seem sanity-inducing by comparison. Two and a half million YouTube viewers can’t be wrong! Or can then?

Adam was hanging around the garden of Eden feeling very lonely.

So, God asked him, ‘What’s wrong with you?’

Adam said he didn’t have anyone to talk to.

God said that He was going to make Adam a companion and that it would be a woman.

This pretty lady will gather food for you, she will cook for you, and when you discover clothing, she will wash them for you.

She will always agree with every decision you make and she will not nag you, and will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you’ve had a disagreement.

She will praise you!

She will bear your children, and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them.

She will NEVER have a headache and will freely give you love and passion whenever you need it.

Adam asked God, ‘What will a woman like this cost?’

‘An arm and a leg.’

Then Adam asked, ‘What can I get for a rib?’

Of course, the rest is history.

I just discovered this, thanks to my friend Jodie.

Here’s one for you to test…

what is the capity city of Canada

(note the typo, even)

The now defunct Southern Airways was a little ahead of it’s time, according to a Globe and Mail article today describing the downfall of legacy airlines.

While the article isn’t particularly, funny, the 1970′s TV commercial they described is hilarious. Enjoy!

Apparently, things were not to remain so rosy…

But in 1979, Southern became part of Republic Airlines, which in 1986 was folded into Northwest Airlines, which merged last year with Delta Air Lines – a proud promoter of business class.

It makes you wonder … what the heck is a “stewardess”?
