Oh Hitler, you are such a comedian

No wonder Adolf Hitler had such a grudge against the Jews: he wanted to be the one acknowledged as THE comedic genius. A new book reveals that Hitler was quite the cut up!

The dictator would often break from the serious nature of waging his campaign to “pull the legs” of his entourage of generals and hangers on.

His favourite victim was the Luftwaffe chief Herman Goering, who was notoriously fond of awarding himself medals and decorations.

According to the book by the last surviving member of his bunker, Hitler recounted how Mrs Goering found her husband waving a baton over his underwear in the bedroom and asked him what he was doing.

“He replied: “I am promoting my underpants to OVERpants”", Hitler then joked.

Hitler was said to be so proud of his joke that he had medals made from gold and silver paper for Goering to wear on his pyjamas.

On another occasion he noticed his official photographer Heinrich Hoffman had drunk too much and told him: “Don’t stand to near the fire Heini – you might burst into flames.”

Wow. I’m sort of speechless. That underpants joke MIGHT be the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s so awful. Almost charmingly so. Then you remember that he murdered about a quadrillion Jews and it’s like, hmm, that’s slightly less funny. Unless he wore a clown nose while doing it.

Hollywood, I’m begging for an Office-like show with Hitler as the silly boss. SOMEONE out there do it. PLEASE. Or how about Hitler’s Def Comedy Jam? “Have you ever noticed how fat Jews burn more quickly than thin ones. It’s like, ha ha, let’s eat a little less MATZOH eh tubbowitz? HA AM I RITE?!” I don’t ask for much.
