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 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.

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.
Do these guys really believe that women don’t work? I mean, where do they live that this seems to be the case? I go out and I see women going to work or women returning from work or women working, they’re hard to miss.
@Katz – I’m sorry the magic device on my PC that tells me where in the world anonymous blog posters are seems to be broken. Perhaps you could wave your magic wand and call the magic pixies to fix it for me?? /SARCASM. Also, don’t care.
@Hellkell – Fantastic, I am so glad to hear that you have no problem with MGTOW! We agree on something! Yay!
I do hope you stick to that when the gov’t is really scrabbling around for nickels and decides to institute that “man-tax” that gets brought up every now and then. Make sure and stick to your principles and lobby your representative against it. Kthnxbai.
Apparently, Myoo, we live a life filled with bon-bons, silky drawers, and pedicure, all paid for by somebody else. If we’re really hard up for cash, we just cry in the street, and voila! we get monies. Sweet, sweet moniessssssssss.
Those women you see working are all in HR.
@Myoo – Reading comprehension FAIL.
Enjoy your sense of smug superiority as you have to get two (or three) jobs to stay afloat.
Man tax? The fuck you on about?
