"Everybody Kills Hitler"

Via Reddit, this is very funny.

Amazing. A website where Hitler is mentioned about 50 times and still not Godwinned.

[some guy]

Godwinning was mercifully banned by then.

[John-David]

Nobody knows what Godwin's Law means anymore. He must be rolling in his grave.

[Episiarch]

They went back and killed Godwin. Duh.

[NotThatDavid]

Oh, man, imagine the trolling.

"Dammit, somebody replaced the Declaration of Independence with a copy of Hustler again."

I'd only go as far as mildly amusing. Huh, a rare miss.

[Dave W.]

If Hitler had been killed they would have just invented another one. Maybe even a more deadly one smart enough to get nukes before warring with Russia.

[Dave W.\'s Hitler]

No one will be able to withstand our corn syrup-powered atomic super soliders!

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Warty]

I'd replace Nixon's farewell address with Rick Astley.

[Rimfax]

That Taiping Rebellion reads like an Asian Paris Commune. That is, a prototype for future repressive socialism.

It would have been funnier if they had invented an Asian atrocity that never really happened so that AsianAvenger's act could be seen as a success in our current timeline.

Warty-

It's a good thing I read your comment before taking a sip of coffee, because otherwise I'd be searching for some q-tips to get the stuff out of my keyboard.

I read this one comic book where the heroes go back in time, kill Hitler, and return to the future where the nazis had taken over.

Only, it turns out that they where really, really, nice guys and that they where "really embarrassed about the whole 'kill the Jews'" thing. And, as it turns out, the world turned into a shining utopia ever since the Nazis took over.

I can see that. Hitler was crazy. They probably would have done better fighting the war without him.

That pretty much looks like most geek forums I've ever read. Of course, nobody got duckrolled, so I have to question the author's cred....

[Warren]

Given the Sci Fi nature of this thread I don't think I'm out of line in expressing my grief over the passing of Arthur C Clarke.

I'm pretty much expecting he'll get his own thread, but I thought it'd be up by now.

Clarke postulated scientifically valid technologies in his works. So no time travel. But that's what made him great.

RIP Sir Arthur.

Lay off grandpas!

I believe you mean rolling around in the Wikimedia Foundation, where he's the General Counsel.

[Pro Libertate]

Oh, crap. I just got Hitler to emigrate to the United States in 1922. With his Jewish mistress. Oops.

[joshua corning]

God damn it

He killed all the blacks in the US and without Blacks there would be no Obama and no implosion of the democratic party and no Liberta America no rocket program no independent space race and no time travel...friggin nub.

I just went back to 1947 and took credit for Velcro?.

Woo-hoo! I'm rich beyond my wildest dreams! Eat it George de Mestral!

Why is everything in the Space Station strapped down with duct tape?

[Joshua Corning]

Woo-Hoo

I went back in time and got George de Mestral to invent Duct tape!!

[Danny]

It took me a couple of minutes to figure out what I was reading, but once I did I thought it was brilliant. Pretty hilarious how the writer ties in current trends (moderators bugging forum posters about posting in the wrong threads) and everybody rolls their eyes when somebody tries to kill Hitler *again*.

[JW]

Curse you Corning! I'll get you and your glass making kin.

They'll be many a kiln accident! Just you wait and see!

I think Reason should stay away from commenting on what they think is funny.

[Warty]

You fucking listen to 10,000 Maniacs. Do not cast stones when it comes to taste.

[mediageek]

Lonewacko-

I think you should stay away from commenting on, well, anything.

[JW]

LW doesn't see the humor since it doesn't involve going back and sinking the Santa Maria on the way over.

[t-1000]

I wonder why no one went after sarah or john connor. Either would be my 1st choice.

Since this is a political site, here's a political satire that those who dislike HowardDean et al might find entertaining.

[highnumber]

Show of hands:
Has anyone followed a LonelyWhacker link more than once?

[Urkobold?]

HIGHMINION,

WHY, CERTAINLY, IT'S THE URKOBOLD'S HOME PAGE!

WAIT, THE URKOBOLD THOUGHT YOU SAID "BONE WHACKER." THE URKOBOLD HAS ERRED!

[JG]

I just went back to 1993 and fixed the Iraq situation.

Yeah, you read that right: fixed.

This is as good as I could get it, especially compared with how President Perot messed things up during the first timeline.

Yeah, you read that right: Perot.

Lonewacko-

Speaking as a professional who not only works in but teaches graphic design and video production, your skills at video editing really suck.

Really, really suck.

As in, you would not pass my class.

I only have WindowsMovieMaker, which is more than a bit limited. And, of course, the video linked above is basically just a narrated slide show, with screens appearing at precisely-timed moments depending on the text.

To get the full impact of my work, here's something that I shot and, before I learned how to analog edit, had someone else edit: link. Enjoy!

Cut to Harlan Ellison dialing his lawyer...

[economist]

I went back in time and got the winning lottery numbers!

[Lucrezia Borgia]

I traveled forward in time and married you. Would you like a drink?

[economist]

I also convinced Calvin Coolidge to run for a second term.
