| 00:00 - 00:03 | I've been thinking for a while about Dowfall parodies, |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | which aren't popular any more |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | even though they are |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | a closer approximation of reality now than anybody could have imagined when |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | we were doing them. |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | is it ironic that we're not doing Downfall parodies any more |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | when Trump is giving us Downfall material daily? |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | I dont think Trump is a natural fit for Downfall parodies |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | because Hitler was crazy and competent |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | and Trump is crazy and incompetent |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | (several people are typing at once) |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | (several people are typing at once) |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | hmm, I'd question that competent |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | I think he had certain areas of high competence |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | and other areas, like military strategy of total incompetence |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | but it's too early for a Hitler debate |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | haha yeah |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | i think the reason there arent downfall memes anymore |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | is because they required people to write a lot of dialogue |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | and craft an arc, and then edit those into subtitles. |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | more recent memes are
lazier? |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | downfall was just a lot of work! |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | millennials are "ghosting" on memes |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | the downfall meme peaked well before trump started running, no? |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | Lazy Gen-Zers Are Killing Sophisticated Memes |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | it was big about a decade ago |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | the times wrote about it in 2008 |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | so |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | may |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | also |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | just |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | be |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | timing |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | lets bring it back |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | see if it holds up |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | Downfall is also a really good movie |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | that's what these meme kids miss |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | I saw it in theaters in high-school. |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | Found it to be kind of a downer |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | instead of quick chats |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | lets just do downfall vids |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | for a day |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | Video of me |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | being told the editors |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | won't let me call Trump Hitler |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | but what if ten years from now |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | we elect as president a motorcycle guy who has chair-throwing arguments |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | or a president who walks down the street with his wife craning his neck to look at another woman while she looks aghast? |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | If Im allowed to go outside that day Ill whisper to one of the other inmates this would be a great meme |
