The Hitler/Downfall meme has suddenly taken a strange new turn with this video of Der Fuhrer taking on Kirk’s legendary nemesis Khan. No, Hitler is not merely bitching about Khan’s attacks, like most of the Hitler videos; this time, other Downfall movie footage is used so that Hitler is actually battling Khan in space, and it’s a little awesome. I am immensely looking forward to more of these, because making fun of Hitler never, ever gets old. (Via io9)
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
