adaptations Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 My favorite is the graduate bowling comment.
cliopatra Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 LOL! as a history TA, the part about all the essays saying the same thing "things changed and stayed the same" is SO true. Definitely had a good laugh with this. thanks.
prolixity Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Okay, this YouTube video definitely made me laugh: Your subtitles are quite off. virmundi and Grunty DaGnome 2
UnlikelyGrad Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 It's even funny for those who understand German and therefore know what he's really saying.
runonsentence Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 It's even funny for those who understand German and therefore know what he's really saying. This clip gets remixed a lot, but I've never actually seen the original movie. What's happening in the scene, out of curiosity?
long_time_lurker Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) This clip gets remixed a lot, but I've never actually seen the original movie. What's happening in the scene, out of curiosity? The long and short of it is he tears his generals a new one and then admits that he is going to lose. The clip from the original film is here: Edited August 24, 2011 by long_time_lurker
InquilineKea Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 haha, someone better now make a "shit TAs say" video... akyl and soupmachine 2
purpledinosaur Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Oh god, laughing so hard! This is amazing. And perfect because right now, for the first time, I'm teaching a class where all I want to do is scream "FOR GOD'S SAKE SAY SOMETHING! ANYTHING!!" newms 1
cokohlik Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Sheer brilliance!! "Every valley girl and 6th year senior wants to add my class..." "My game is to list all the 15th center popes..." Ahahahahaha!!!!
newms Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Oh god, laughing so hard! This is amazing. And perfect because right now, for the first time, I'm teaching a class where all I want to do is scream "FOR GOD'S SAKE SAY SOMETHING! ANYTHING!!" I know that feeling sometimes! There's nothing like that awkward silence before you answer your own questions. Edited February 3, 2012 by newms
cokohlik Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) I've literally been giggling about this to myself all day long. I love it! I wish I could understand German... I'm sure it's chalked full of irony. Edit: Oh wait, there's the original scene! yay! Edited February 3, 2012 by cokohlik
fuzzylogician Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 The original scene is not ironic at all, it depicts one of Hitler's last days in the bunker. His generals tell him that the Allied forces are advancing in several fronts and that several battles have been lost/forces have been annihilated/ generals are dead. He goes on a fit but then recognizes that the war is lost. I always liked the dubbed versions more... "FOR GOD'S SAKE SAY SOMETHING! ANYTHING!!"
mandarin.orange Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Funny! My favorite version of this, however, is one made at the time of the iPad release where he discovers its not really a full Mac OS platform and rants about its limitations. I sent it to a tech-savvy friend who replied, "I never thought in my life I'd say this...but I agree with Hitler." The director of the original has even commented that he finds its presence as an internet meme hilarious. I really want to see the original, esp. with my Dad, who likes historical war films. Alas, Netflix doesn't offer it as a stream.
We regret to inform you Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Alas, Netflix doesn't offer it as a stream. The movie is called Downfall, and IT IS on netflix IW. In fact, i just watched it for the first time a few weeks ago. It's pretty interesting.
georgestrait1982 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Don't watch it unless you are in the mood to see some really disturbing shit. It's an excellent film tho.
Lola Wants Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 This is funny as hell. Especially since this is my first semester TAing. But I'm at a small liberal arts college so I don't have to lead separate discussion sections from class. All I do is grade and lead in-class discussions. But all in all, it's still hilarious.

It's pretty interesting. Good to know! I'll have to remember this next time I'm with the family. We had looked for it last summer, when Netflix pricing/shipping/stock/everything was kind of a brouhaha.
