Hitler & Penzance

[npod]

I have this video meme in so many different ways. But I had not seen it in reference to pipe tobacco. Hilarious.

To quote my grandfather, "never let the truth get in the way of a good story."

Your grandfather sounds like a lot of fun!
My grandfather had a bit of the wild as well. He taught me how to spit, which for awhile buoyed my status. in the car if a woman was walking within vocal distance he'd lean out the window and yell "Hey Mabel!" He said had he not married my grandmother he'd have become an alcoholic. As it was he drank his share of cheap beer but never caused problems. He would eat dinner and walk to the bar, which was what he knew to do.

That video always makes for a good laugh. I've seen other versions of that video as well.

Yeah, I had seen one of these a couple of years ago dealing with the climate change thing. Hilarious.

But how do we know what he smoked?

You mean the actual character? Nothing. It's a well-known fact that he was anti-smoking, anti-alcohol, and anti-meat.
His propaganda machine even printed signs aggrandising him for being such a wellness-oriented person. This is on display in the Deutsches Historische Museum:

"Yeah, I wonder which actual movie is the source."
It's called 'Downfall' and it is a remarkable film from 2004 which won numerous awards. It details the last ten days in the bunker before the death of Hitler and stars Bruno Ganz. I don't speak German so I personally can't tell, but I read once that he totally nailed Hitler's Austrian accent.

I think he meant Stalin. He smoked cigarettes and pipe and cigarettes IN the pipe. This has been covered numerous times and if I remember correctly, there are reports of him smoking Edgeworth. I think the Royal Yacht story is pure myth.

Hitler did not smoke, drink or ate meat. There was a health conscious craze and he wanted to embody that as a head of state.

LMAO!! :rofl:
Forum humor at it's best!

I watched it several times and can't get enough of it. There is another one I enjoy watching as well:

Yet, the POS was a drug addict.

 

[saltedplug]

Hitler was an addict? Substance?

I believe it was amphetamines, though I've heard his doctors injected him each morning with a secretive cocktail of a lot of drugs.

 

[aldecaker]

Huh. I always thought that was well-known enough to be considered common knowledge.

 

[cigrmaster]

That video is too funny. Thanks for sharing it.

 

[ukbob]

Brilliant video.

I agree, the original movie was very good. I lived in Austria as a young boy, and those accents were spot-on.
