Godwin's Law, as explained by QI

[VamLoveAndKisses]

Uh oh. This is the first QI video I'm watching tonight and I know I won't be done until at least 2am...

[babbies321]

Just what hitler would have posted.

[Deel2506]

Hitler, in that uniform towards the end of the clip, must've said, "Allright, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up!"

[slightlyinsaneFTW]

...I've never had an argument involving Nazis in my life.

[salamut2202]

Glenn beck has there fore lost every argument he has ever made.

[Diazreta]

Hitler dislikes this

[AndyAce83]

Hitler loved Godwin's Law

[erantio]

end of thread.

[Zed1967]

2:45 Say what you like about Hitler but credit where it's due, he sports an epic camel toe. :)

[Braddurs]

This is what my Mum always says to me.

I can't have a simple conversation with her about eugenics, euthanasia or genocide :(

[gbushimprov]

No-one's daring to dislike this video because that's what hitler would do.

[GBGMrBlue]

this videos what hitler did

[Kropikovo]

This law should be updated. Anyone who get's into an environment concerned discussion and mentioned "paid by the big oil" loses the argument immediately.

[lcyw20]

@Kropikovo even when big oil ploughs in money to maintain the status quo and handicapping research into greener energy?

[Cyberwaste138]

Which series was this?

[fowzie777]

doesn't Stephen Fry look like a taller version of Hitler? put a Chaplin moustache on him and he could play the part...

[redragon200]

that's what the nazi's did

[hejcoze]

Godwin's Law . .. . is it for Fox News?

[LGD3]

The Pope (yeah the one who was a member of the Hitler youth) went to Britain on the taxpayer's purse and called Stephen Fry (well, atheists and secularists in general) a Nazi.

[RollingMuffin]

@LGD3 like it matters...the pope is a fucking crazy old man in a dress with a gold stick made of plastic.

[BigG99]

@RollingMuffin stop being such a nazi!!!

[irishgodfatherchris]

@LGD3 a Jewish Nazi its a bit of an oxymoron isn't it

[therrydicule]

@irishgodfatherchris Ironic answer: It's not really an oxymoron... Have you seen how many contradictions that are present in "nazi-ism"? Too many, the nazi were not able hold an ideology on rational, too many self-contradiction were present... In fact, they would have won WW2, I think they would have fall anyway on the weight of self-contradiction and internal-fighting after Hitler's death.

So, there are no reasons to not have a Stella Kübler or something like that ;)

[irishgodfatherchris]

@therrydicule she was a turn-coat by necessity in her mind, not that that excuses what she did (she had been a prisoner for almost 4 years prior to becoming an informant and even got married to a fellow prisoner) rather than a willing conversion as it were. Nazism yes as you say is full of contradictions the same as Fascism (indeed Italian Fascists did not agree with Hitler in the murdering of Jews and other "undesirables")

[therrydicule]

@irishgodfatherchris Interesting... I think the Italian fascism had fewer contradictions than the nazi... But these two are irrational as it could get, so I think a jewish-nazi could happen (but it might be good for a psychiatric hospital). However, even if I have some interest in totalitarian ideology, it is not a period of history where I am really knowledgeable. I just remember her, and Jozef Szerynski, as jewish colabo.

[fritspas]

@LGD3

I always wondered why he came to Britain, well that's that question answered.

[SatoTM3]

america is so nationalistic today
