MGTOWers, a little late to the party, try their hand at a Downfall parody video
How to make a hilarious “Downfall” parody, in two steps.
Step One: Make one like this.
Step Two: Don’t make one like this.
Naturally, the second video here went over like gangbusters on the Men’s Rights subreddit. One critic declared:
Another had this suggestion:
I dunno. “Your_Fun_Counselor” doesn’t really strike me as being very much fun at all.

i thought downfall videos got shut down by the producers like two years ago?
They’re again failing to realize that feminists don’t care if they GTOW, and if guys like that want to makes themselves “unproductive” that’s their problem.
How many of these unproductive dudes have planned for their futures and their retirements before they go off not working or whatever they mean by that? I’m guessing most haven’t thought this through, seeing as they also hate welfare and any kind of safety net. They probably think that their mighty manliness will get them by.
Note for the painfully literal MRAs–I’m not saying get married, just wondering what the plan is.
Um..wait the founders of the MGTOW movement are married!?
Well, that explains so much about why MGTOWs won’t go away. Apparently they think that anyone within earshot is their marital partner and every feminist space must be the cramped apartment they want to start arguments in.
Also, I’ve seen funnier feminist parodies of the downfall.
@hellkell: Sssssshhh, baby. All you have to do is dare to imagine.
We menz will up stakes and move away, and we’ll be able to be dudebroly together, and everything will be pleasant, and there’ll be plenty of trains and heavy industry free of looters.
Are you imagining?
Also: Downfall videos? Aren’t they like, so six months ago?
I can haz modern meme?
Falconer, that cartoon sums it up nicely.
They’re complaining that women don’t earn enough money, but they also don’t believe in a wage gap. They’re also forgetting how much of women’s unpaid work helps prop up the system they are enjoying. Blue Milk from feministe said it best with
Not that I would expect the MGTOW to understand or appreciate any of this, though.
Their whole whine about not wanting to pay taxes is cute. They think feminism’s bad? They’ve clearly never had the IRS up their asses.
If anyone wants to make a response there’s this little app:

Heidihi – thanks so much!
And, completely OT, but this is a great Onion article – http://www.theonion.com/articles/mars-rover-beginning-to-hate-mars,2072/?ref=auto
annnd, that was totally the wrong thread – sorry!!
1st rule of Man Boobz: It is never the wrong thread to post an Onion article. Or an animal video.
I thought the first rule of Man Boobz is “don’t talk about Man Boobz”
Funny: Hitler wants to be friends with a cat.
Not Funny: Hitler repeating tired MGTOW talking points like anybody ever takes that shit seriously.
Seriously, the one where he calls the cat is hilarious.
cloudiah: Can we do both?
(Technically an onion, rather than the Onion :P ).
LOL – thanks, Cloudiah! In my defense, I DID say it was off-topic… :-)
And Blitzgal – I just had an idea!! You know how in FC they had that bar of soap that was so prominent in the ads? What if for here, it was (looking around to make sure no MRAs are listening…) SCENTED soap??
SCENTED FUCKING SOAPS! Little fruity soaps, even!
I think they should be scented clamshells.

Yes, the downfall parodies were getting taken down, but they seem to have realized it’s a lost cause.
To be fair, I thought their Downfall video was hilarious. I just probably was laughing for a completely different reason.
/laughing at them, not with them

“Not that I would expect the MGTOW to understand or appreciate any of this, though.”
Quoting feministe? That’s priceless. Where does all that magic money come from? Ahh, yes. It’s comes in the form of debt to the bankers. You do know the Rockefeller foundation is the major shareholder of the federal reserve. Don’t you? You do know Obamacare has been handed over to the federal reserve. Don’t you? There really isn’t much the Rothchild/Rockefeller corporation doesn’t run in your everyday life. they run your banks, medical, schools, government, AMA, ADA, FDA, FEMA, CFR, UN. FBI, CIA, Pretty much everything.
I’m sure they’ll be happy to pay for all the unpaid labor, as debt. 16 trillion not enough for ya? Why they’ll be happy to make it 32 trillion.

Tick, tick, tick goes the timebomb. Surely you didn’t think all those entitlements you voted for are free? Did you? Women aren’t all that bright. One day, when you wake up find everything is owed to the bankers, including yourself, don’t act surprised. My guess is, our forefathers were quite a bit smarter than the combined intellectual might of feministe. Times almost up kiddies.
Well that explains how and why Rosie the Riveter kicked Hitler’s ass, dunnit?
Somehow I do not think that was the point they were trying to make.
You know, I think they’re sort of oblivious to humor.
Let me ‘splain.
What makes the Downfall videos a bit amusing… well, the first one I saw, I would have called funny… what gives it bite is that it’s Hitler. Screaming. Only suddenly it’s about something totally innocuous. Maybe even cute.
There is dissonance. It is Hitler, after all.
When what you put into his mouth is just a pile of hateful bigoted shit that DOESN’T SOUND SO VERY DIFFERENT FROM STUFF HE SAID??
Well. Instead of irony, you just paint a giant freaking line between you and Hitler.
GIANT. FREAKING. LINE.
I like scented soap though, it’s nice.
Wow. That second one read like a parody of what MRAs think of feminists. Right down to them really being nazis. It’s easy to forget that the person who made it actually believes every word.
FYI all, this is going to be a thing. Our little buddy brought it up in an earlier thread. I was withholding judgment, but I was afraid that it was going to turn out this way:

Howard, given that Tom thinks being funny = having other people make jokes for you, I’d say you’re probably bang on in guessing that most of them probably don’t really know what the fuck humor is.
..most of them probably don’t really know what the fuck humor is.
Is it a type of cake?
/third usage of crappy joke
They don’t know what facts are, why would we be surprised that they don’t know humor?
Blitzgal, that article depresses the shit out of me, but contrary to what our lil’ MRA pals will think, it doesn’t mean that every woman lies or that crimes shouldn’t be investigated.
Ahem.
I have discovered the secrets of this so-called humor that people use. As you watch me now, I will demonstrate it. Penny, you’re fat. You see, it’s funny because I’ve said something that clearly isn’t so! This is the part where you all laugh.

That NONONO cat video was awesome. I feel like that’s how actual relationships with cats go:
“Affection? Belly rubs? Fetch?”
“NONONONONO!”
Exactly. Unfortunately, we will continue to hear about this case just like we continue to hear about the Duke case every single time a rape story is reported in the news (that’s the way it is in the comment section of my local news, at any rate).
The police investigated and found out the woman was lying? But I thought they were the tools of feminism who auto-believed anything bad a woman says about a man!
Quick MRAs, to the Anti-Contradiction Bullshit Machine! *WweeeOOOeeeeooooOOOoeeee*
(That was supposed to be the sound of the machine working, btw. Imagine the TARDIS sounds, but with more whining and less awesome).
Well, not exactly, but some cakes can be pretty funny http://www.cakewrecks.com/
How cute, they’re trying to convince us that it would be bad if they finally went their own way.
Guess they got tired of no one caring?
The WAHMIS, Whining About Happenings of Minimal Importance and Scale.
What does men being, “unproductive” mean? I hope it means not producing offspring. Having a baby by one of these losers sounds like a nightmare. So if they choose not to procreate, I’m perfectly fine with it.
sometimes it feels like they try to be bad at activism
I want a video mashup of Ruby’s comments and the NONONO cat.
‘well maybe you dont appreciate what im saying now, but what if you read the same as subtitles to a clip from an eight year old movie about hitler. huh. how does that feel?’
i mean we could make a downfall video where hitler is ranting about brown people, but that would really just be a video of hitler
Even if it weren’t talking, the NONONO cat would be totally hilarious just because it’s all puffed-up and funny-looking.
But the real question is, why isn’t its body a Pop-Tart?
fuck, i just set up for a multi-page tantrum about godwinning and strawmanning didnt i?
For MRAs, I think this would be more appropriate:
i apologize for nothing. i would have hated myself more for seeing that shot teed up and not taking it.
Sharculese, I don’t think it’s Godwinning if someone is actually talking about how Western civilization is superior.
i know that and you know that but ruby is stupid and has incredibly thin skin
I think Godwin’s only applies to conversations that do not start out about Hitler or Nazis. If you start out on that topic, you kind of have to do the mentions.
D’you know what feminism is like? It’s like a certain 1940s totalitarian fascist regime that shall go unnamed but it liked little mustaches and saluting way too much if you know what I mean.
That’s the MRA’s subtle attempt at Godwinning. Anything more subtle than that can’t count as Godwinning in my book!
It says a lot about the movement that every little slogan, YouTube video, or macro is suddenly the most groundbreaking thing in the history of ever that will surely change hearts and minds. Whereas out here in the real world, a Downfall parody video is two minutes amusement and a click of the Like button, if that.
Yeah, gangbusters. Out of 44,000 subscribers it has 55 votes for it and 25 votes against it.
And roharareddit’s contribution has one point, the other has 4 points.
You sure got them good!
Hey, i didn’t laugh or smile at either video, except, I will say that that last line about Krebs, you’re single, followed by the reaction shot of Krebs, did make me smile.
I’m also kind of sure that downfall videos are supposed to have hitler spewing casual nerdrage, you’re not supposed to put him in the position of the people you hate.

You’re probably right, but if you’re not aware of the meltdown at Freethoughtblogs.com, and if you have 48 hours to read and either laugh or weep or both at acts of self-immolation, then google feminazi femistasi.
There are plenty of women that could not be described as anything other than feminists that see parallels between aspects of modern feminism and a certain 1940s/1950s set of totalitarians.
“I’m also kind of sure that downfall videos are supposed to have hitler spewing casual nerdrage, you’re not supposed to put him in the position of the people you hate.”
Yep, I agree, that is exactly why the video failed.

Is it ’cause of the total control of a violent police state that we wield? Or is it our sassy boots?
You have the googles and I am sure you can google and read and understand just as well as I can.
I think I’ve shared this before, but back when I was still doing union work someone got really mad at me and accused me of being part of the “gazpacho.” Good times, good times.
You mean he called you a cold tomato?
Ha ha ha!! That gave me the googles!
Lolz! @ video.
NWOslave is bang on the money about the debt bubble.
And as long as the bubble stays pumped up, take a good long look at Japan’s grass-eaters… You’re gazing into one version of your future, and the women who are already living it don’t like it much – efforts are being made to get the grass-eaters to “man up”. lol!

Here’s another version of your future – you’ll like this one, it comes out strongly against “slut shaming” further down and heavily criticises lots of the MRM for being nasty to honest sluts.:

“…Once single, I stuck a sign inside the entrance to my unit which was my declaration of independence. It had three headings in large letters, with a small explanation of each underneath. The three headings were:: NO MARRIAGE, NO DEFACTO, NO KIDS. My open stance on this did not seem to limit my sex life at all. In fact while it drove women who wanted any of these things away, it attracted those who were like minded. I accumulated many ‘friends with benefits’ who all knew about each other. I had even explored the swinger’s scene on some occasions, though it was not a predominant part of my life.
Most of the women in my life were affectionate, extremely sexual, and most of all, very independent. Some of these women would casually refer to themselves as feminists. Some had disowned the term altogether. All of them would become aware of my anti-feminist opinions over time and, apart from some disagreements, it didn’t seem to affect anything much between us.
…
At one point, in the early days of my MGHOW lifestyle, I was seeing a woman who I allowed to hassle me into agreeing to monogamy. Almost immediately the relationship changed and I began to feel uncomfortable with the arrangement. This was because after agreeing that she would be my sole source of sex, it would also become apparent that she would also be my sole source of female companionship and affection of any kind. Not only that, I had to alter my life so that I could be seen to be abiding by this.
….
I came to the conclusion that it was not enough to rule out marriage, de facto, and children. Indeed, if I had no intention of having more children, then monogamy was redundant…..”
^So, that’s no-sex grass eaters.
And yes-sex, but no-monogamy free range MGTOWs….
Not marrying. Not paying for houses & kids. Working no more than they have to, to support themselves and do what they want.
Now, who’s going to pay those all those gov’t debts off??? Who’s going to keep the banksters in the bailouts they have become accustomed to???
Not these^ men. Sure as fuck not me!
(So sorry, I’m too poor to pay tax! No Kids, No Wife, No Mortgage, No Worries. Why would I want to work my arse off just to contribute to endless wars, police states, secret family courts and prison industrial complexes anyway? Hah!).
How about…. YOU.
Shouldn’t you be at work instead of posting on the interwebz??
There’s trillions of dollars of debt to pay if you want to keep YOUR system afloat!
Or – you could choose to Go Your Own Way too.
Pick one.
Yeah, but how does Sasquatch fit into all this?
Is it just me, or does Joe seem more incoherent than usual?
He says at 7:30 PM. Fucking time zones, how do they work?
Joe, the beauty part of MGTOW is that we really aren’t begging these dudes to stick around. Go your own way. Feminists are not the women who this will give pause to, so go tell them.
No, I’d say about usual.
Ninja’d by Katz on time zones.
I think Joe’s drunk posting again, seems to be a thing with our UK MRAs.
