YouTube right now! Hitler covers “Gangnam Style”

Memes collide in a Gangnam Style remix featuring footage from the 2004 film Downfall (or, as the Internet knows it, "Hitler Reacts").

In YouTube Right Now, the Daily Dot looks at videos that catch our eyes, push our buttons, and move our dials—and that you’ve just got to watch. Right now!

Adolf Hitler has gone mad before. He’s gone mad about Pokémon, and he’s gone mad about Star Trek.

Hitler got heated when he found out that gays were getting married, and he was even more venomous when he learned that Obama won the presidency.

He absolutely freaked when he somehow smelled a fart.

He’s lambasted just about everything under the sun since YouTubers made a meme out of a scene in Oliver Hirschbiegel’s 2004 film Downfall that depicted the führer screaming in the boardroom. But we rarely get to see him sing.

Fortunately, “Gangnam Style” has taken over the world in ways that Hitler could’ve only dreamed, which means there’s now magically a YouTube video that finds the altogether terrible Nazi leader offering his own rendition of the PSY hit.

This particular “Gangnam Style” cover is just a few frames short on that crazy guy dancing in the yellow suit, but we’re told Hitler kept a pretty strict war room dress code.
