D&D 5E (2014) Hitler Learns About 5th Edition

John Morrissey · Dec 23, 2016

I've taken a light-hearted jab at 5th edition in this new video. Hitler will never be the same.

One of the best of these I've seen in a while.

Meh.
Would have been slightly topical and amusing a couple years ago, now it just feels tired.

I can't even remember the last time I saw a Downfall meme. I thought they'd fallen out of vogue. They've been around for like 5 years now.

I dont care what anyone else says, hitler makes me laugh.

All about context. Military movies are so serious all the time. A heart-breaking scene about D&D is better.

It is an old meme (from what I understand). That said, I saw it for the first time only a few months ago (I don't keep up on that stuff), so it's still rather fresh for me.

I think the OP did a good job with it. Most of the ones I've seen end up being the editor's rants against things they clearly appear to hate. The vitriol in most of them is readily apparent, and there's usually little to no humor to it. The OP's version didn't fall into that trap, and it was probably the most enjoyable version of that meme I've ever seen.

Nice usage of incorporating names and some items he says into the actual video at times.

Nice effort, I suppose every edition needs one of these eventually.

Best part was where they say the guy still plays Warhammer. Loved that remark.

I don't know why, but I don't tire of these Skyfall memes, but I agree that a Hitler reacts to D&D 5E video, like it was just released, probably would have been better, you know, when D&D 5E was released.

Skyfall memes are all about knee jerk reactions and hating on change
