That’s right. Nobody cares when something bad happens to a Nazi. They can be set on fire, perforated with bullets, thrown from airships, decimated, dessicated and damned by biblical age spirits/curses and you’re not going to think, “Oh many. That poor Nazi.”
It’s like if a tree falls in the forest . . . but nobody cared about that tree either. Or maybe that tree was a real asshole.
I came up with this theory a while back after . . . . some beers. But it’s true. It may be one of my most astute statements.
Look, when I say Nazi, I’m not talking Schindler or the poor bastards that were stuck with the “Join the Jugen or Die” or the “Conscript or we Kill your Family” clauses.
I’m talking NAZI Nazis.
Indiana Jones villian, Tarantino antagonist, Hitler loving, Swastika Flashing, Skinheaded or otherwise jerks that believe that through a lack of Melanin, circumcision, kinky hair or fabulousness they are soooo much better.
I once interviewed a man who was a part of the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp. When he got there, he saw some of the men held there beating a guards head in. And he just kept walking.
Other liberators of concentration camps would just hand over a pistol and point to where the guards were running to or being kept. Ta-Ta Fritz.
But really though, Nazis also make the best movie villains. They are an inherently evil, white and well organized force of fodder for cinema. You can keep throwing Nazis at Indiana Jones and every time he knocks one down, you always feel happy.
Or, we can keep taking that one “Hitler Reacts To:” clip and subtitling it over and over and over again and it never gets old. The man who thought he would lead the greatest of the great has become the bait for giggling stoners the web over.
What about Hitler Cats? It’s a thing.
Anyways, please share your favorite Nazi doom, Hitler mocking or meme-ing. I want to see them all.
Nazis are a great thing, because almost universally everyone agrees they’re horrible. If someone stands up for Nazis you will instantly know that you need to end your association.
Hipsterhitler.com <— Probably one of the funniest, non-politically correct sites I've ever seen. Guaranteed a guilty laugh. :]
I definitely agree that Nazis makes some of the best villains in movies, though, whether it be in Indiana Jones or the always awesome Inglourious Basterds.
I personally like when Indiana Jones shoots one bullet through 5 Nazis in The Last Crusade when he is standing on a tank.
Personally I’m tired of movies bringing in Nazis as villains unnecessarily all the time. Can’t we have a little more creativity?
I kind of agree with Sherbet. I think they’re an EASY villain to do BUT I love love love love Hugo Weavings’ Johann Schmidt (Captain America) and Christoph Waltz’ Hans Landa (Inglourious Basterds).
