The 'I Am Adolf Hitler, Commander of the Third Reich' meme stems from the debut episode of the viral YouTube series Epic Rap Battles of History (ERB), which first aired in 2010. The lyric continues with the phrase 'Little known fact: also dope on the mic!', delivered with an aggressive, theatrical flair that caught the internet's attention. Since its release, the template has been used to introduce absurd or ironic facts, often playing on the juxtaposition of the historical figure with the modern concept of battle rapping. It remains a staple of early 2010s internet nostalgia, used primarily to mock self-importance or to introduce unexpected trivia in a dramatic fashion.
