Originating from the 2004 historical drama Der Untergang (Downfall), this meme features the climactic scene where Adolf Hitler, played by Bruno Ganz, realizes the end of the Third Reich is near. The parody phenomenon began in 2006 when users on YouTube started adding humorous English subtitles to the German dialogue, making it appear as though Hitler was ranting about modern pop culture, sports losses, or tech failures. Despite copyright takedown attempts by the film's production company, Constantin Film, the meme's popularity persisted due to its versatile emotional intensity. Today, it remains a staple of internet culture for expressing extreme, over-the-top outrage about trivial inconveniences.
