  1. Adam B Says:

    That’s high satire, there, Kermit…

    Well done.

  2. Irish Yeti Says:

    That Wood bit at the end about killed me. Very Very Very good, sir.

  3. *In a Nutsack Says:

    Wow. Nice. I never saw that movie, nor do I know which one it is, but I seriously thought that one of the dudes in the room would tell Hitler that the Cubs don’t have Wood anymore and then he’d shoot himself in the face.

    Alas, it’s still made me laugh.

  4. Erich B. Says:

    HIlarious. Well done, sir.

  5. John Says:

    Fantastic job! This is my new favorite of the Hitler series. Unlike the others, this one has a strong ending.

    But, where is Cliff Floyd on the list of RF flops? Other than that, I think you nailed this one.

    Keep up the great work on the site!

  6. Bad Kermit Says:

    @John – Holy crap, I’d completely blanked out Cliff Floyd. Thanks. Fixed.

  7. TDubbs Says:

    I normally hate everything about you and this site, but this was awesome. Next stop, Kansas City.

  8. flannj Says:

    Great job Kerm. It really captures the ANGRY.

  9. StPatrick Says:

    SLOW CLAP.

  10. PenFoe Says:

    You should have seen how angry Hitler was about Prior…

  11. Seth Says:

    peavy
    zambrano
    dempster
    harden
    lilly

  12. Flem Says:

    Hahaha!! Holy shit, “Don’t cry Mrs. Ticketmaster.” That’s well done, sir.

  13. Rick Says:

    Wow…thanks for that video. Funniest thing i’ve seen in months.

  14. Hal Burke Says:

    Great Cub video…………….using a great movie “Downfall.” An excellent film (Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film 2004) about the last days of Hilter in his bunker as told by his personal secretary, Traudl Junge, who survived the Russian advance. She died shortly after being interviewed for this documentary.

    One thing I would add to the Hitler video is him saying this about the Cubs….”Wait till the next millennium!”

  15. LarryT Says:

    At first I rolled my eyes when I saw who you were using and thought it in bad taste. But, I stuck with it and this is utterly brilliant because it expresses the feeling that those of us who have stuck around for 50 years have about the team- management and players alike. I tell people I’m going thru a trial separation- you win the first round of the playoffs next year and I’m back in. Otherwise, the entire squad can go into a bunker and stay there.

  16. Superminikeg Says:

    Just about pissed my pants laughing at the Kerry Wood reference at the end. Nice work.

  17. SoCalCubsFan Says:

    Awesome! Haven’t laughed like that since game 2 with the Dodgers @ Wrigley a couple mnths ago. Only then I was laughing in pure disgust & disbelief what was happening in the game…this time I’m laughing to relieve some stress.

    Too bad Wood is with the Indians now. That’s the funniest thing in the video, it’s like a few guys already know it, that he’s actually gone now, but they’re nervous and don’t want to tell him…

    OMG, still giggling.

  18. LN Says:

    pretty funny, but to correct one small detail, it’s tickets.com, not ticketmaster, not that ticketmaster isn’t a convenience fee mongering bohemoth too.

  19. Bad Kermit Says:

    @LN – The problem with that is that there is no Mrs. Ticketsdotcom.

  20. Jim Stacho Says:

    Kudos, sir. Best Hitler send-up since The Producers. Although the new Tom Cruise movie appears promising!

  21. Sue Dinem Says:

    *sigh* only a dumbass cubs fan wouldn’t recognize THIS HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzYsiNZgZ7M

  22. Bad Kermit Says:

    @Sue Dinem – Hence, “internet meme,” you dimwit.

  23. Sue Dinem Says:

    @Kermit -Yuck Fou

  24. Bad Kermit Says:

    @Sue Dinem – Got any other insights you want to share with us? Maybe about water being wet, or Ozzie Guillen being an incomprehensible narcissist?

  25. Irish Yeti Says:

    Kermit, you DUMBASS

  26. Mike D. Says:

  27. Jim S Says:

    maybe if the cub fans showed as much passion (instead of just being beer and wine swilling yuppies) the cubs would have a team worthy of being Division, League and World Champions

  28. Irish Yeti Says:

    @Jim S – Yes, Jim, you have it PERFECTLY. The Cubs fans are at fault for going 0-3 in the Divisional series this year. Damn. Thanks for making me realize that. I caused the Cubs to not be WORTHY. After 2 months of being unable to sleep after the NLDS debacle, you have allowed me to sleep easy tonight. Lord praise thou

  29. Pubic Enemy Says:

    Yeah, because every Cubs’ fan is a passionless yuppie.

    And, you know, the fans are the people out on the field.

    Dumbass.

  30. Pubic Enemy Says:

    Haha, Yeti, nice timing.

    BTW…I fucking love this version of the meme.

  31. Mr. Maz Says:

    Fuck the SOX….there NAZI lovers anyway. LOVE YOU CUBBIES..WAIT TILL NEXT SEASON..GO CUBS

  32. Jim "Stormy" Strong Says:

    This is the best since Lee Elia…Great.

  33. Bad Kermit Says:

    @Pubic Enemy – I laughed at your screen name, and I’m not ashamed to admit it.

  34. Pubic Enemy Says:

    @Bad Kermit – :-D

    Somewhat off-topic: I saw Yeti’s post on BCB questioning the offensiveness of this video has been deleted. Nice one, Al.

    Looking forward to our “guest” speaker.

  35. Una-Red Says:

    Herr Dunner, there’s the answer!

  36. SOXITIS Says:

    Wow!!!! As great as it was I can’t believe there wasn’t a reference to solving the
    “Bartman Problem”

  37. marc Says:

    hell no i laughed my ass off the whole time keep it up

  38. mark Says:

    pure genius! laughed and laughed throughout.

  39. marc w Says:

    Pretty cool almost as funny as the motorcycle one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukAhlxl4hmM&eurl

  40. Carlos Says:

    “Don’t cry, Mrs. Ticketmaster”

    HAHAHAHA

  41. Babs Says:

    I am crying! That was so funny! I’m a Sox fan; my husband’s a die hard Cubs fan, and we were both cracking up! How can any of these comments be anything but congratulatory for a totally hilarious video? Lighten up, Sue Dinem and Irish Yeti! (It’s never “gonna happen,” by the way…)

  42. Ronnie Poo-Poo Says:

    You, my friend, are a genius. Wearing one’s visor upside down is a red flag of epic magnitude. High-gd-Larious, but don’t you think it should have been “Frau Ticketmeister”?

  43. Laven Says:

    Wow. So original. I totally have never seen anyone use this video before.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfkDxF2kn1I
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnwf2RShNV0
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_9UTvESBIc
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cKtFhArBps

    You got anything original? Or just the same old recycled shit

  44. Isaac Says:

    For a second I thought he was going to say his favorite pitcher was Jason Marquis….. but that would be pushing it.

  45. Keith Says:

    Imagine being the guy who tells Hitler that Kerry Wood is an Indian.

    Either way he interprets that, you’re screwed.

  46. Bad Kermit Says:

    @Laven – I feel sorry for you. I hope you wrote to the hundreds of people who have parodied that video and accused them of being unoriginal.

  47. Pete Says:

    “Es wird noch einmal passieren!”

  48. Jonathan Says:

    hahahaha… convience fee??? hahaha…

  49. Jimmy Says:

    Go Bleep yourself Laven/Bad Kermit(exactly, you give Kermit a bad name)! Yeah, I’ve seen it too, in other formats….And? What did he steal your humor? Doubt it. I feel sorry for you pal/miss. I can’t stand people like you!! What, have you have you been in the arts too long, you cynical…! Try looking for good things. You might actually smile and laugh!

  50. Jimmy Says:

    As for the person who made this. That was awesome! The Fukudome being skrewed in the ground is priceless! Yes, the ending. Leaving us with the our own visual of Hitler eventually going off again…brilliant!

  51. tim Says:

    this is hysterical… the part about Corey Patterson is classic because it’s the exact same thing I used to scream at my tv every time “that fucking guy” was at bat LOL

  52. cubsfan Says:

    can someone put this on youtube? i want to send it to someone but they’re having problems viewing it on their computer.

  53. Bad Kermit Says:

    @cubsfan – If someone does do that (I have no idea how), can you send the file to me, so I can make sure it’s not a violation of the Terms of Use of Overstream.net, and then host it either here or on YouTube?

  54. Paul Says:

    Any more of these movies because that was some of the funniest s*@t I’ve ever seen.

  55. Jeff Says:

    Well done! It’s been a long time since I laughed that hard.

    Thank you!

  56. Tony Says:

    This is one of the funniest damn things I’ve seen in a long time. Nice work.

  57. aka Says:

    Hilarious, it was original, not the clip, but the conversation. Dont be mad because you cant produce something as enjoyable…

  58. Bob Waters Says:

    Only one problem: Hitler would have been a Cardinals fan.

  59. Mary Ward Says:

    Soriano like Patterson will ALWAYS swing at an outside breaking ball in the dirt–why would any pitcher with half a brain ever want to throw him a strike. And we are stuck with him for 6 more years !!!!!

  60. Little Schaul Says:

    Sorry not scouring youtube to compare videos you douche…this one is funnier.

  61. Dave Says:

    That is hilarious. Absolutely brilliant idea.

  62. Linda Says:

    This is hilarious, if you can handle the language. Wayne

  63. kebmo Says:

    whoa….relax. sheesh

  65. joe grippo Says:

    Unbelievable … well done ! Best parody on the Cubs I’ve ever seen only I couldn’t seem to e-mail it to others !

  66. Julie B. Says:

    Brilliant! Absolutely hilarious.

  67. Rob Says:

    One of Hitler’s henchmen is named Chad…I love it.

  68. Steve Says:

    You need to get this one on youtube – far better than anything created to date

  69. Dick Says:

    Ho-ly Cow! Next they’ll be playing hockey at Wrigley Park.
    Jeff

  70. Mr. Mxyzptlk Says:

    you must complete the mission
    by announcing woods departure

  71. Michael Says:

    AWESOME. The Corey Patterson reference was classic. Great job

  72. Mike Says:

    I cried I was laughing so hard.

  73. JOHN Says:

    @Bob Waters – No, no, no; Hitler would have been a Yankees fan.

  74. dave Says:

    love your site. want to link ours:
    justonebadentury.com ?

  75. Fred Karb Says:

    Brilliant! The bits were hilarious and well strung together from beginning to end. I can’t think of any way to improve this. If there was an Academy Award for Best Meme of 2008, you would win it my friend!

  76. erik Says:

    dude, you need to upload this to youtube!! leave your URL in the sidebar to get more traffic here.

  77. Phil Montross Says:

    Oh, my God, that is hilarious.

  78. simon Says:

    Finally, the simple truth about visors is stated publicly. And the fans with their stupid signs who sit down and become quiet whenever anything goes wrong instead of cheering get theirs too. Highly amusing from start to finish! Well done!

  79. Craig Says:

    Absolutely brilliant. I’m crying. Its perfect.

  80. Ron Says:

    The Best !! If you saw the movie, even better.

  81. frank Says:

    Genius? Yeah. Took a lot to steal an idea that came out in June from English Football!

    …Cub fans….crap!

    http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz3yLkHHpKs

  82. Bad Kermit Says:

    @frank – Too bad you Brits “stole” it from American Football in February of 2008.

    This can go on and on for as long as people like you don’t realize that there are DOZENS of these videos on the internet and that I’m AWARE that there are dozens of them. That’s why it’s called an “internet meme.”

  83. TDubbs Says:

    This is getting VIRAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  84. Al Yellon Says:

    Nothing about Hitler is ever funny. You should be ashamed of yourself.

  85. Ken Says:

    “I almost pissed myself”

    Alex: Correct
    Me: I’ll take Colossal Disasters for $1,000.

  87. Rob Nielsen Says:

    Yah Vol

  88. Moon Says:

    That was tremendous.

    /Bad Kermit, are you inferring that Mr. Ticketsdotcom is a homosexual?

    //Not that there’s anything wrong with that!

  89. pdawg Says:

    that was pretty funny – a little too long with some dry spells but the end was great

  90. dbrigham Says:

    BRILLIANT–how do I get this on facebook–the share link isn’t working–any ideas? I’ve GOT to share this with my Cub posse.

    I have no clue. I’ve never tried to do a video share on Facebook.

  95. LongSufferingCubFan Says:

    Try telling that to Mel Brooks.

  96. Big Daddy Says:

    Great work. Laughed my ass off. Showed it to a couple of my Jewish friends before sending it on. They laughed their asses off and sent it to their friends.

  97. Irish Yeti Says:

    Why do you HATE the Jews!??? This is so offensive on so many fronts…

    *I was shocked to see there are still comments still being thrown on here. Well, I know the traffic is still there because I passed it around yesterday. You’re “famous.” Asshole.

  98. J.T. Says:

    Really good , Just think what you could do having Hitler talk about the Bears last season or the Bears playing their last Superbowl, keeping three and out Grossman in the whole game

  99. TDubbs Says:

    My Cub pussy wants me to pass this along too. Can you hook a brotha up? LOL. I’m LOLing.
    SLUGGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  100. Irish Yeti Says:

    @TDubbs – Secks?

  101. TDubbs Says:

    @Irish Yeti

    Yeppers

  102. Donna Says:

    Convenience fee my ass!! My thoughts exactly….Was hoping he would go off when he found no Woods…lol

  103. Amy W. Says:

    Way to go Kerm, Hysterical..you really know how to get people talking! lol

  104. Manny Says:

    Dude
    That was great

  105. packy Says:

    All you needed at the very end was a little something like, “at least they finally picked up a person with my mild manor, go Milton, I’ve got a couple of his games.”

  106. Vince Says:

    Funny, but anachronistic. The real Hitler would’ve been ranting about Jimmie Wilson running this team into the ground. But Charlie Grimm’s back in charge – can he turn things around? Is that all it takes to bring back the glory days of the 30s? He complained then about how they couldn’t win the big one – not since his artist days – but at least they were always contending. Last year’s season was over as soon as it started. An opening day win, and then they drop 13 straight! They showed some promise by the end of the season, but do they have what it takes? Can Peanuts make up for the loss of Dim Dom, and what’s with all of these miniature leftfielders, anyways? Derringer’s washed up, so why are they talking about making him a regular starter again? Just what we need: more innings from a guy nearing 40. Etc.

    The irony of it all is that it was next year, but poor Adolf would never find out that his boys were on their way to the pennant.

  107. Bad Kermit Says:

    @Vince – Now THAT’S how you comment. Awesome.

  108. geopoliticus monk Says:

    This is absolutely brilliant.

  109. George Hook Says:

    Why, just yesterday I posted a comment that Adolf Hitler would have been a better relief pitcher than Mel Rojas. Glad to see the concept is catching on ….

  110. Kathryn Wilson Says:

    Wow, can’t believe there is someone else who thinks the way I do. E 1 acts like Jim Hendry is some kind of F—g genius, I think he is an idiot!! They got rid of all the good players, and kept someone like Zambrano and Soriano, then they go and pay some psycho $30 mil. Go Figure!! The Cubs are going nowhere this year, and I will be rooting for Cleveland!!

  111. Sean K Says:

    Love to hear what Hitler has to say about Milton Bradley — although they both have the same temper,….

  112. Irish Yeti Says:

    Huh? DT20??

  113. jibro165 Says:

    This is funny…plain and simple.

    Now if only Soriano wouldn’t do his best Corey Patterson impression in the playoffs. Last pitch of the NLDS? Slider in the dirt.

  114. Shirley Disch Says:

    AWESOME!

  115. Tyler Janese Says:

    PLEASE jibro165!!!! i dont want to have to relive the horror!! lol

  116. Hugh G Rection Says:

    As Rod Blagojevich would say, “THATS F*CKING GOLDEN” !!!

  117. tim Says:

    this is the dumbest fucking thing I have ever seen. Cubs fans are total douche bags. Get a fucking life you losers.

    What does that say about a douche bag who comments that people are “douche bags”? A bigger douche bag.

  119. Gunnar Says:

    This was great. I just saw it. I sent it to my Cub Buds and they loved it too. It is too bad it is so true.

  120. chicago BoB Says:

    Hey tim or is it Timethia? If you had any brains, you would have rated the video higher, but you are probably too busy sniffing your dog’s ass!!!
    LOSER

  121. Indiana Mike Says:

    Just had this sent to me in Florida. It was f…… unbelievable! Thanks much from a diehard fan.

  122. cubbieblue Says:

    Yeah, because every Cubs’ fan is a passionless yuppie.

    And, you know, the fans are the people out on the field.

    Dumbass.

  123. GlenAllenHill Says:

    BADKERMIT, you gotta get this to work again!! It’s freikin hilarious but it doesn’t work anymore. Youtube probably deleted that specific video. Upload it again please!

  124. Bad Kermit Says:

    @GlenAllenHill – Thanks for the heads-up, man. I embedded the YouTube version for now.
