Yet Another Housing Bubble Video: Hitler the Flipper
We’ve all probably seen enough YouTube videos about the housing crash to last us a lifetime, but this one still made me smile. Hitler as a real estate flipper? It’s embedded below, but here is the direct link for those RSS readers who can’t see it. Via LH on Bogleheads. Over 2 million views!
Apparently, this is a popular meme based on a scene from the movie Downfall about the final days of Hitler.

This is the best Downfall parody I’ve seen in quite a while (and there have been tons). As an aside, Downfall is an amazing movie and everyone should watch it (preferably in a well lit, sunny room with lemonade – anything else and it could drive you straight to depression). The DVD is on Netflix.

I like how they involved the woman crying as the Realtor and the other woman consoling her with some minimum wage job or something. They weren’t even really mentioned in the original movie scene.

That is a pretty good clip! Thanks for sharing.

Maybe it’s because I’m a software engineer but I thought this one on Cloud Computing was much funnier.

Yes MM, Jonathan’s clip is much funnier to us non software ‘engineers.’

I’ve seen a few of these before, but they never fail to make me laugh. I just about lost it at the bit about the sign.
