watch it: “Hitler reacts to the news that Osama bin Laden was killed”

This meme simply will not die, and with good reason: this scene, from Downfall, is a perfect portrait of shock, outrage, and resignation in the face of bad news. It’s just a bonus that it’s Hitler in whose mouth Web wags get to place such ridiculous words. This is one of the best examples of the meme I’ve seen yet -- watch it before it gets pulled from YouTube -- with a killer punchline.

(If you’ve never seen Downfall, by the way, do check it out. It’s a brutally brilliant movie.)
