This is how you feel at times. The film the clip is taken from is called Der Untergang (Downfall); Hitler was played by Bruno Ganz. There are many videos on You Tube that use this (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downfall_(film)#Parodies ), including an amusing one where Hitler is considering swapping from Canon to Nikon (cameras).
But World War II seems very serious and real to me, whereas to a lot of others it’s just ancient history. I have a hard time laughing about it. Also, the movie is so well done, and so few people could have pulled it off like Bruno Ganz, I also wonder if it doesn’t undermine his excellence. Imititation is also the sincerest flattery . . . is parody?

Sadly, the up-themselves wankers who made this film have taken down the clip due to ‘copyright’ infringement issues (http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/04/21/2878994.htm). I hadn’t seen the film, and now in protest, I will refuse to. So much for worrying about making some dosh, Constantin Film.
