Downfall of Grammar

[dillonator42]

These Downfall subs are usually mildly funny.. but this one's just hilarious!! "It's on the tip of my tongue!" Haha fantastic

[TheStillman37]

"Me hates grammars police they correct everyone, liek I! Me doesn't has bad grammars me is a good english talker!"

[mikerhoa]

this shit is classic...

[Caddi1234]

Not that funny when you understand german ^^

[tya04]

"And who put these pencils in my hand?"

[EvilTwerp45]

listen at 1:36 :D

[UberMcNuberz]

A++

[mphello]

The word you're looking for, Mr Hilter, is REPUBLICAN.

[Foilsdown]

The homos are pretty picky about their homophones.

[AnnoyingXboxer]

This videos are less funny when you actually understand German.. Lol.

[PolarSmoke]

@AnnoyingXboxer these*

[AnnoyingXboxer]

@PolarSmoke I did that on purpose O.o

[PolarSmoke]

@AnnoyingXboxer I did that purposely* I purposely did that* is also accepted

[AnnoyingXboxer]

@PolarSmoke Fail troll is fail O.o

[PolarSmoke]

@AnnoyingXboxer sentence fragment, and did you just use a noun as a verb?

[AnnoyingXboxer]

@PolarSmoke No but i used my penis as a waffle maker.

[PolarSmoke]

@AnnoyingXboxer well played...

[TheArchsage74]

@PolarSmoke No, he used a noun as an ADJECTIVE!

[PolarSmoke]

@TheArchsage74 am is are were was be being been do done did have has had can could shall should will would may might must

[smelloftheice]

0:22 - "Führer", not "Fuhrer"!

[MarchMay03]

I hate grammer nazies!

[PolarSmoke]

@MarchMay03 Grammar* nazis*

[championofcathay]

@PolarSmoke Grammar *N*azis.

[awfulguitarplucker]

THOSE PENCILS

ARE GRAMMATICALLY INCORRECT!

[xaiber16]

Oh my God, I'm getting the disease, the Nazi grammar disease. Can somebody cure me?

[Roflcopter4b]

Very technically, there is no English rule defining that prepositions may not end a sentence. Sometimes it is necessary, and other times it simply does not matter. Shakespeare himself often ended sentences with prepositions. Though, in other cases it is a good idea to avoid terminal prepositions, with the example used in the video being a good one.

[mphello]

Well, one of the very good things about THIS particular Downfall parody is that all of the words are at least SPELLED CORRECTLY!

Christ, I do not know WTF it is with the horrible misspellings in most Downfall parodies. Non-native speakers? I don't think so. The misspellings DO distract from the mental timing of the comedy when reading.

[MikeWoohoo]

wait...what other way could you have phrased that where it didnt end with "with"?

[ithungers]

@MikeWoohoo "I don't give a shit which finger you use to point at the map."

[daphneisthebest]

@MikeWoohoo Wow… The great downfall is caused by our current generation.

[MikeWoohoo]

@daphneisthebest yep, im part of this generation. im not trying to urge the movement, though. screw our generation. you should hear the ebonics they speak at my school.

[Roflcopter4b]

@MikeWoohoo "I don't care WITH WHICH finger you point at the map."

[xaiber16]

@Roflcopter4b "I don't care (with) WHICH finger you point at the map."

[MikeWoohoo]

@Roflcopter4b true...

[mphello]

So, if the Nazis are trying to win the war against bad grammar, does that mean the Red Army is trying to win the war against bad spelling?

[mphello]

This parody is awesome because it's timeless (as long as the English language exists in its current form).

[mphello]

LMFAO!!! ROFL!!!! LOL!!!

Thank you for keeping this particular Downfall parody up this long!

I'd fly into a rage, too, if corrected over such a minor detail in the middle of a war!

(Although, I, too, am very self-disciplined for myself about not ending sentences with prepositions.)

[bajabret60]

Brilliant!



[jaykrue]

Awww! You ended the video too early! It should've gone all the way to the end of that brilliant scene in Downfall.

[xaiber16]

@awfulguitarplucker Thank God, that there (are) is no case of English or is it?

[awfulguitarplucker]

THANK GOD there are no case in English's

or are there?

[kilerseven]

The beginning was well planned.

[aimalysev3]

@kilerseven I agree. It's probably the best one I've seen. :)

[AssassinsJustice]

what is the name of this movie? >_>

[MrGreenwage]

@AssassinsJustice The downfall

[loqiloqi]

Okay, then.

"Honestly, I don't give a shit which finger you point at the map with, asshole."

[TheKinello]

Prepositions are perfectly good for ending sentences with!

[aimalysev3]

@TheKinello That made me lawl.

[evilrobottolhurst]

Just discovered this fabled classic - 1:54 "You guys are like some kind of grammar...strict police...Dammit! what's the word I'm looking for?"

and "godammmit" (1:30)? *God damn it (2:07) then start worrying about profanities lol.

[Sandafluffoid]

Learning German ruins these videos for me. All I could think when the subtitles said "you ended a sentence with a preposition" was 'no he didn't', and 'Sometimes German requires that you put a prepositions at the end'. Stupid education, ruining the internet for me.

[d41yy]

@Sandafluffoid Im german and i think these vids are fucking funny

[xaiber16]

@Sandafluffoid "Learning German ruins these videos for me. All I could think of, when the subtitles said " You ended a sentence with a preposition" was 'No he didn't, and 'Sometimes German requires that you put (a) preposition(s) at the end". Stupid education, ruining the internet for me.

[pandarsson]

Brilliant!!

[DarcBird]

That was so funny I nearly pissed myself! roflmao

[bigglyguy]

Youtubes change of password thing IS A REAL PAIN IN THE ASS!!! Do one about that, please...

"The questions chosen are deliberately difficult" yeah, no kidding! Fukkit, I'd rather lose my fucking account than jump through your fucking hoops

[DarcBird]

@bigglyguy What has that got to do with grammar and nazis?

[StickReverb]

Lol "Who put these pencils in my hand?"

[liquidchicken23]

"My God, its not easy being a Naz!!" Couldn't have been more right..LOL

[wkschatz1s]

@parzit888 Actually, if you want to get technical, it's "different FROM," not "different THAN." Things differ from each other. You're not saying that there are varying degrees of differring.

[HailRussia1388]

@wkschatz1s But what would you say about "different TO"?

[mssinatra]

"Führer"! For god's sake, "Fuhrer" is incorrect!! -:|

[Liolar43]

The best Hitler Parody I've ever seen. XD

[h2inuyasha2]

How can i hold...all these pencils?

[Sparkle071409]

you do realise that german has an entirly different system of grammar then english?

[h2inuyasha2]

@Sparkle071409 You do realize no one gives a shit?

[toothfareie]

@Sparkle071409 than*

[parzit888]

@Sparkle071409 You do realize that during comparisons of diffrent things, it is improper to say then, the correct

way of pronouncing it is "German has an entirely diffrent system of grammar THAN english?"

[SpectralIndigo]

Thank you for sending me here Christina H of Cracked.com!

[piezano1]

Does anyone know what movie this is from?

Now that I think about it:

Does anyone know from what movie this is?

[jacs91]

@piezano1  The Downfall

[AvsJoe]

@piezano1 "Does anyone know from which movie this scene originates?" is the most proper way of putting it.

[SamPD2]

@AvsJoe It comes from the movie Downfall, during the last days of Hitler's regime.

[Episcleritis]

Awesome. Thanks, Cracked. :)

[LappyMc]

CRACKED

[AttractiveMeat]

God, I hate Christina H.

[Dinodain]

Apparently, Hitler was not a Grammar Nazi. Who knew?

[WayOfTheBastard]

These downfall parodies never get old.

[Kitsua]

Still one of the best.

[LillianMoon]

Gotta agree with Hitler on this one, which is something I never thought I would say. People can be way too picky about grammar, especially on the Internet. Why should it matter if someone confused "your" and "you're" in one sentence? Shouldn't we judge them based on what they are trying to say, rather than how they say it?

[Maxl1ne]

@LillianMoon

Yes. Christ yes we should judge the hell out of them.

[fenrir007mx]

@LillianMoon No, no, we should not.

[MrMagicPenguin12]

Like in cracked.com liked you! :D

[AgentOfOblivion]

What kind of people whine about grammar police? Ignorant halfwits who feel the world owes it to them to humor their abject stupidity.

[OMGitsFay]

Favorite Hitler reaction video ever.

[KurttBaine]

What a bunch of Grammar Commies!

[hakutosukuzan]

Whiny preteens- the original grammar "police"

Internet users- Mistaking autocratic enforcers with actual law enforcement, and equalizing autocratic enforcers with whiny preteens.

[xFLAMExREAPERx734x]

Heil Webster!

[LittlePikachu]

Nazis: The original Grammar Nazis

[OasisFae]

Hahahaha! Wonderful. XD

[aimalysev3]

By the way, what movie is this from?

[LucienFati]

@aimalysev3 Der Untergang [English title: Downfall]

[aimalysev3]

Lol made-up subtitles are usually really stupid, but this one was actually really funny. Good timing and good grammar. :D

[earmite100]

Amazing...

[TheKw93]

It really shouldn't be incorrect. The quickest way to being a boring or ineffective writer and communicator is to follow every single grammar rule. All you need is a Winston Churchill quote to put this in perspective: "That is a rule up with which I will not put".

[Pablofilmmaker]

Well it's true that you should end a sentence with a preposition or even a proposition, what?

[eenayeah]

LOOOL Man this is TOO funny.

[SovietUnion100]

LOL FUNNIEST ONE EVER XD

[EpicTroll666]

I cant spel god at al but i tink ya underztandz mi anywey!

Problem, grammar?

[PseudonymicBob]

Grammar Nazis?

[xxPsychorabbitxx]

I just lost my shit when he said about the pencils in his hand. That had to be the best hitler parody line ever...

[SniperMaske]

Grammar Jewish Bolshevik!!

[MrDarinWarren]

Could have been very funny.  The foul language killed it.

[Fletchman1313]

This was one of the earliest Hitler parodies, and it's one of the best because the subtitles match with some of the words in the dialogue (like Stalin, SS, Fuhrer).

[pattayalob]

@Fletchman1313 The actual German dialogue is very good compared to the subtitles...

[chris1129s]

Best Downfall subtitles I've ever seen

[EmeraldJunkie]

Hitler was not a happy chappy.

[thevaultdweller1]

good lord that was hilarious!

[mikerhoa]

classic

[tworaf]

this is the best hitler downfall parody :D

[PanzyMistress]

probably my favorite hitler downfall.

[ApocalypsePlough]

One of the best Hitler Downfalls, I think.

Totally obscure, focusing on Hitler's grammar of all things, and that's why it works.

Is there a message here from the poster of the video? I believe there is. To not get your shorts tied in a knot because someone has spelled something wrong or they use incorrect grammar. YouTube is viewed by people across the planet. There are going to be many people whose first language isn't English. But you can usually get the gist of their post. Give them a break.

[ambromeli]

press 8 and listen to hitler's beatbox

[SirGabriel2076]

One thing I had noticed about the so-called "adult things," is that they are actually immature. Seriously, I know that the people that have dirty minds don't like to think as much and therefore have childish hearts, especially with bathroom jokes, the same level of maturity as being toilet trained.

[teedonster]

grammar police - for those who cannot win arguements

[Bllackguard666]

I seriously think if there were no subtitles, most of you people probably wouldn't be able to write anything correctly. In case you are wondering, I am serious. People are both stupid and lazy with reading, writing and grammar, and people saying that people like me are "grammar nazis" or pricks, is a fine way of ignoring the fact you just need to man up and improve what is wrong.

[Occsei]

"If anyone can't overlook grammar during a fucking... strategy... session just go home".

Shouldn't it read; "If anyone can overlook grammar" instead?

I ask because the ones staying inside are the ones who complained in the fisrt place and defended their grammar nazism.

[joe59788]

This is my favorite Downfall parody.

[DarthLee117]

47 people can't overlook bad grammer

[a16gregjockca]

@DarthLee117 stab your mother's milkbags with a ginzu blade. YAY!

[hgnchsignsmeu2]

funny, but despite what many say, it's not incorrect to end a sentence with a preposition.

[a16gregjockca]

@hgnchsignsmeu2 shut the fuck up.

[DoctorQuestionMark]

@a16gregjockca Did you just end a sentence with a preposition?

[a16gregjockca]

@hgnchsignsmeu2 i don't just end my sentences with prepositions. i also end them with many propositions like "... so try eating a bomb, bitch".

[mysterioso2006]

@hgnchsignsmeu2 GRAMMAR NAZI

:P

[SodomyJBalltickle]

@hgnchsignsmeu2 Up the fuck shut.

[Blockization]

@hgnchsignsmeu2 It still sounds kinda strange though, in my opinion at least.

[AeriaGames95]

@hgnchsignsmeu2 Depends on the situation. :]

[MEGAJASONGUY08]

@hgnchsignsmeu2 I don't care what kind of word people end with

[purplefloyd1739]

@hgnchsignsmeu2 Why do you say that? I would be willing to believe it because in Moby Dick, Herman Melville ended many sentences with prepositions, but where did you get your information?

[longfenglim]

@hgnchsignsmeu2 It's not incorrect, it is just preferable, though, to be honest, I am sick and tired of every last person in the internet reminding us of this fact- I, for one,never heard of it until everyone started talking about how it is okay to end with a preposition, and, after the seventieth person to make mention of this fact, I have finally made it my life mission never to end with a preposition unless it is absolutely necessary.

[spacedout93]

@hgnchsignsmeu2 You can't in German.

[cinnomonsinner]

mortal wombat is thaT u?

[Ry112390]

This is why Germany lost the war.

[MaggieLizer]

The smartest "Hitler Finds Out" clip. Congratulations!

[hauffenschweiler]

haha damn i love it. "Your priciples are stupid! And who put these pencils in my hand?"

[km9OOO]

There should be a question mark at 1:56 (I'm kidding... sorta)

[joe59788]

fucking amazing video. One of the best downfalls.

[SchmittyRKD]

Seriously, though, (as someone else has probably pointed out by now), this idea that one must not end a sentence with a preposition is just plain wrong. What one must not do is end a sentence with an UNNECESSARY preposition. E.g.:

"Where are you at?"

In "...which finger you point at the map with," the preposition is completely acceptable, for the sentence is incoherent without the "with."

[Nysyarc]

@SchmittyRKD Technically it still makes sense as "I don't give a shit which finger you point at the map." It makes more sense in the context when you add the "with," but it isn't necessary to make it coherent. It's just the difference between saying you're pointing at the map with a finger versus pointing a finger at the map.

It doesn't always work both ways though; consider "I don't care which gun you shoot at the wall" versus "I don't care which gun you shoot at the wall with".

[SchmittyRKD]

@Nysyarc That's a good point. Omitting the "with" slightly changes the meaning, though, as you pointed out. I guess the key is to distinguish between verb + preposition phrases (such as "point with," or for that matter, "point out") and completely unnecessary prepositions tacked onto the end.

[ptoner87]

@Nysyarc What about "I don't give a shit with which finger you point at the map."?

[Nysyarc]

@ptoner87 Yah, that'd be one of the proper ways to say it, although we all know nobody actually talks like that these days, lol.

[ptoner87]

@Nysyarc True...

[SchmittyRKD]

This made me laugh harder than any video I've seen in quite a while.

[CONKER17]

This isnt your video stop taking credit for something you didnt do.

[tyrannasaurasalan]

@junmiguel2007 Many shortcomings.

[verg77]

Actually he only had one pencil in his hand, and he's talking about "pencils", in plural form, what an inconsistency! That's simply outrageous how one can make such a...

...

...oh...

[flashart]

Brilliant !

Danke Schunn fur Posten Machen ;)

[MASEK360]

he wrote goddammned with 2 m's

[Phelan666]

@MASEK360 As did you. If you wished to demonstrate his error, it would have been best to add [sic] to inform the reader of the intentional mistake.

[MASEK360]

@Phelan666 He wrote ''goddammned'' instead of ''goddamned'' . :3?

[Kelly14UK]

@junmiguel2007 Could you stop talking at me please?

[Kelly14UK]

@junmiguel2007 Whitcchhhhhhuuuuunnnggg!! Went your comment...

[elfinstyle]

47 people put the pencils in Hitler's hand.

[Hamakeis]

@elfinstyle : Nope they wasn't born at that time, or even if they did, they were too young. It's just they disliked the vids. Nothing else.

[iMacOSXSnowLeopard]

@Hamakeis "no they weren't"

[kylematthewdiduck]

So it's decided: this is the best of the downfall parodies. It's actually clever, not just a typical, topical weak one.

[Lazierc]

"And who put these pencils in my hand?" Laughed really badly there :D

[aey20]

Who put these pencils in my hand???

[MegaBENGUIN]

@aey20 Three question marks? Your grammar is wrong. (LOL) Jokes.

[lamaddussa]

ha ha... and the problem with prepositons is that when you use them correctly you sound like a pompous ass. better to misuse them.

[RoyVanNistelrooij]

GRAMMER NAZI'S!!! I thought existed did they not.

[Jh5kRadio]

He found the word he was looking for without being aware of it.

[dIiZzZiI]

Grammar Nazis FTW!

[TheXenomorph1]

Fegelein's fault?

[SurgeTheDarkKnight]

i hait bad gramarr

[onealhart54]

@SurgeTheDarkKnight thats bad spelling bud

[LlednarJediMaster69]

why this scene is always made into a parody? ...aside from the fact that its EPIC!??!

[Kelly14UK]

One of those Police States... like Britain!!

[arryarrfiddledeedee]

WHO PUT THESE PENCILS IN MY HAND

[Dave0921]

Bwahaha finger pointing!!! XD

[psxws]
