* A sketch from ''Series/TheCarolBurnettShow'' has the Nazis having captured a US airman (played by Lyle Waggner). The officer in charge of the capture (Creator/HarveyKorman) is interrogating him and getting nowhere. So, he calls in Germany's top interrogater (Creator/TimConway) to get answers out of him. This being a Korman and Conway sketch, HilarityEnsues. At one point, Conway's Nazi pulls out a cute little hand-puppet Hitler to do the questioning personally. Conway and the puppet converse and at one point, the puppet gives Waggner a boop on the nose with a pencil after Conway warns him "you're gonna get it now!". The scene is so wonderfully ridiculous that [[{{Corpsing}} Waggner can't manage to keep a straight face himself throughout]]. In the end, the Nazis are so comically inept that not only do they not get any useful information out of Waggner, but [[EpicFail he manages to escape after getting vital military secrets]] ''[[TooDumbToLive from them]]''.

This was the most common portrayal of Hitler (and Nazis as a whole) [[WartimeCartoon in most anti-Nazi media]] before and during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. German atrocities in eastern Europe, which were dismissed as Communist propaganda elsewhere, made this portrayal a little more controversial there. After the Western world became fully aware of UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust in the late 1960s and 1970s, it became more common to portray Hitler as the ultimate manifestation of evil rather than a foolish clown. This is because some people think that making fun of the Nazis makes the war crimes and genocides they perpetrated seem less serious. Thus treating Hitler and the Nazis too flippantly may evoke reactions of "DudeNotFunny" Still, many people subscribe to Creator/MelBrooks' view that the Nazis' evilness itself qualifies them as AcceptableTargets.

AcceptableTargets, and Hitler's personal image (with the toothbrush moustache, side-swept hair, and enormously baggy trousers) has certainly not become any less recognisable or ripe with comic potential with age - it was a set of controversial fashion choices in its own time, and is now perhaps the most thoroughly CondemnedByHistory look worn by a tyrant ever.

* In most of the Franchise/IndianaJones franchise the Nazis are a serious and credible threat, but ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade ''features one scene where Indy (disguised as a German soldier) is trying to escape a Nazi rally with his father's diary (that is the key to the mystery of the location of the Holy Grail which the Nazis have been searching for), and literally bumps into Hitler himself. Hitler sees the book, takes it from Indy, opens it... then signs it and hands it back to him, apparently assuming the only reason a person might be carrying a book around in his presence would be because they wanted his autograph.

* Many issues of the original run of ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'' treated Hitler this way. In one story, Captain America and his boy sidekick Bucky battle Hitler and Göring. Both senior Nazis squabble over who will get to fight the child hero rather than Cap himself...and then Bucky beats them both up before the heroes just leave the two behind despite the wartime setting. Of course, this is obviously a case of RealLifeWritesThePlot, since the real Nazis hadn't been defeated and deposed. Nor did Cap or Bucky ever "canonically" encounter Hitler himself (not counting the appearance of the original Hate-Monger who may or may not have been Hitler).

* ''Literature/ErIstWiederDa'' ("Look Who's Back") is a comedic novel in which the Führer himself ends up in present day Germany, and becomes a media sensation. At least, that's the general plot. The book opens with Hitler blithely wondering why Germany isn't an uninhabitable wasteland as per his SaltTheEarth instructions shortly before his actual death. Initially, Hitler's naivety about the modern world is portrayed as amusing, and possibly even endearing, but once he gets a grasp on modern media such as the Internet, he quickly starts to exploit these inventions to great and chilling effect, managing to gradually worm his way into popularity with the ills of intentions. It should be noted though that this portrayal of Hitler aims not to make yet another caricature (unlike countless others) but to portray him as a charismatic people person, someone funny but trustworthy and scarily good at adapting, to explain how he got so far in RealLife. In a way, this is much more terrifying than the bumbling idiot or screaming madman portrayals typically seen.

* ''Literature/ErIstWiederDa'' ("Look Who's Back") is a comedic novel in which the Führer himself ends up in present day Germany, and becomes a media sensation. At least, that's the general plot. The book opens with Hitler blithely wondering why Germany isn't an uninhabitable wasteland as per his SaltTheEarth instructions shortly before his actual death. Initially, Hitler's naivety about the modern world is portrayed as amusing, and possibly even endearing, but once he gets a grasp on modern media such as the Internet, he quickly starts to exploit these inventions to great and chilling effect, managing to gradually worm his way into popularity with the ills of intentions. It should be noted though that this portrayal of Hitler aims not to make yet another caricature (unlike countless others) but to portray him as a charismatic people person, someone funny but trustworthy and scarily good at adapting, to explain how he got so far in RealLife. In a way, this is much more terrifying than the bumbling idiot or screaming madman portrayals typically seen.

The lyrics mock Hitler as someone who stole Creator/CharlieChaplin's schtick, and the song's popularity led to Sempoliński going into hiding from the Nazi occupying forces (who actually had orders to detain him).

* This is the premise of the ''WebVideo/HitlerRants'' GagSub videos.

In the early days, people just added {{Gag Sub}}s to a scene of Hitler (Creator/BrunoGanz) angrily ranting (originally about a counter-attack he'd planned but was not carried out on account of it being impossible), making it look like he is ranting about whatever the video creator takes issue with at the moment. But later on, people started adding comical special effects, creating a bizarre cartoonish universe, wherein Hitler comes up with outlandish plans to win the war, which are usually foiled by the incompetence of himself or his generals or the jokes and antics of his brother-in-law Hermann Fegelein. There are also crossovers with other Hitlers sometimes, usually goofy ones such as the one from ''Film/InglouriousBasterds''.

* Many issues of the original run of ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'' treated Hitler this way. In one story, Captain America and his boy sidekick Bucky battle Hitler and Göring. Both senior Nazis squabble over who will get to fight the child hero rather than Cap himself...and then Bucky beats them both up before the heroes just leave the two behind despite the wartime setting. Of course, this is obviously a case of RealLifeWritesThePlot, since the real Nazis hadn't been defeated and deposed. Nor did Cap or Bucky ever "canonically" encounter Hitler himself (not counting the appearance of the original Hate-Monger who may or may not have been Hitler).
* Several ''[[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]]'' stories of the 1940s also had Hitler as an almost childlike villain, including one where he is defeated temporarily when exposed to an "honesty ray" that forces him to tell the truth for 24 hours. Or Reltih, the Reverse Hitler, who chose to try and conquer his own world by marrying into the United Kingdom's Royal Family. You get the idea.

Hitler sees the book, takes it from Indy, opens it... then signs it and hands it back to him, apparently assuming the only reason a person might be carrying a book around in his presence would be because they wanted his autograph.

* In most of the Franchise/IndianaJones franchise the Nazis are a serious and credible threat, but ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade ''features one scene where Indy (disguised as a German soldier) is trying to escape a Nazi rally with his father's diary (that is the key to the mystery of the location of the Holy Grail which the Nazis have been searching for), and literally bumps into Hitler himself. Hitler sees the book, takes it from Indy, opens it... then signs it and hands it back to him, apparently assuming the only reason a person might be carrying a book around in his presence would be because they wanted his autograph.



* ''Literature/ErIstWiederDa'' ("Look Who's Back") is a comedic novel in which the Führer himself ends up in present day Germany, and becomes a media sensation. At least, that's the general plot. The book opens with Hitler blithely wondering why Germany isn't an uninhabitable wasteland as per his SaltTheEarth instructions shortly before his actual death. Initially, Hitler's naivety about the modern world is portrayed as amusing, and possibly even endearing, but once he gets a grasp on modern media such as the Internet, he quickly starts to exploit these inventions to great and chilling effect, managing to gradually worm his way into popularity with the ills of intentions. It should be noted though that this portrayal of Hitler aims not to make yet another caricature (unlike countless others) but to portray him as a charismatic people person, someone funny but trustworthy and scarily good at adapting, to explain how he got so far in RealLife. In a way, this is much more terrifying than the bumbling idiot or screaming madman portrayals typically seen.

No, this doesn't intend to excuse or underplay anything done under his regime. The point is that instead of being treated as some kind of boogeyman or evil incarnate, he's treated as something stupid, for reasons stated in the above quote. Focus is often put on Hitler's actual personality and behavior outside German propaganda - that he was a short, somewhat goofy-looking man prone to hysterics and narcissism, the opposite of the image he tried to portray to his supporters.

* Possibly an UrExample: In 1939, some Nazi leaders denounced the popular dance tune [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lambeth_Walk "The Lambeth Walk"]] as "Jewish mischief and animalistic hopping." So Charles Ridley of the British Ministry of Information took some footage of Nazi troops from ''Film/TriumphOfTheWill'' and [[OlderThanTheyThink remixed it to make it look like they were dancing]] to (you guessed it) the Lambeth Walk. Comics historian Creator/MarkEvanier remarks, "It is said the film was shown for Joseph Goebbels and he exploded and ran screaming from the room in anger. If so, that alone was reason enough to make it." You can watch it on his blog [[http://www.newsfromme.com/2011/11/12/todays-video-link-561/ here]].

So Charles Ridley of the British Ministry of Information took some footage of Nazi troops from ''Film/TriumphOfTheWill'' and [[OlderThanTheyThink remixed it to make it look like they were dancing]] to (you guessed it) the Lambeth Walk. Comics historian Creator/MarkEvanier remarks, "It is said the film was shown for Joseph Goebbels and he exploded and ran screaming from the room in anger. If so, that alone was reason enough to make it." You can watch it on his blog blog [[http://www.newsfromme.com/2011/11/12/todays-video-link-561/ here]]. [[note]] Unfortunately Nazi Education Minister Bernhard Rust also saw it, and wrote a memo to his underlings pronouncing it "Absolutely hilarious! Insulting and wrong, but also hilarious!" [[/note]]
