The One-Man Reverse-Parody Downfall Video Hits YouTube

[Jaqen Hghar]

I love this guy. Been following his channel for a long time. This isn't really a parody though... he has made reenactments of many movies in this style. I really like the Pan's Labyrinth [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG5BLSERFbg&feature=related] one, and of course the V for Vendetta [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk392A-Dq3Q] one. Oh, and the one who introduced me to him: The Dark Knight [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4IrhgM84ec&feature=related].

EDIT: Oh God, and this one! A Scene from Silence of the Lambs reenacted by Woody Allen and Arnold Schwarzenegger! [http://www.brandonhardesty.com/videos/?action=view&id=yox2OGNW]

He is awesome. Really. I think the can "parody" most actors out there. And it seems like he can act pretty well on his own. Glad he is getting some recognition.

 

[Lemon Of Life]

Superb acting, did a great job there, but I didn't find it very funny.

 

[VanityGirl]

Epic and awesome. The guy actually did really well with the language, he seemed confident. When he was the girl, I started cracking up.

 

[SturmDolch]

I liked that. Especially when his moustache fell off. His German was actually understandable in many parts.

Hardesty is right though, German sounds completely ridiculous. Was the language invented by someone with strep throat?

Wow, this is one of the most ignorant posts I've seen on the forums. You do know that English came from German? And what are you talking about, strep throat? English sounds just as ridiculous to someone who does not understand it. I don't ask you if English was invented by someone with numb lips. Then again, I try not to bring a load of negativity to everything I comment on.

 

[Totenkopf]

That was quite funny. But the pronunciation made it a bit hard for me, I had to rely on the subtitle at some parts.

 

[Jared]

lmao, thats actually really good! Excellent Paraody!

 

[HK_01]

It's that much funnier when you're German and hear how terrible his pronounciation is. Great!

 

[antipunt]

Wow, that was a pretty en-captivating performance.

 

[Femaref]

It's that much funnier when you're German and hear how terrible his pronounciation is. Great!

It wasn't that bad though. And Hitler was displayed really well.

 

[Tharticus]

That was a perfect comeback to Constantin Films. I laughed like the other Downfall videos.

 

[Outright Villainy]

Oh I've seen him before, I saw the Pan's labyrinth re-enactment and a few others, very entertaining...

 

[chstens]

It was incredibly well done, and I can overlook the bad german, it's dwarfed by the awesomeness of this video.

He's only echoing every comedian or non-German-speaking person to ever speak of German, and that's the lightest I've ever seen it put.

Whether it reflects most speakers of the language or not, you really can't blame people for being under this misapprehension and/or joking about it.

I don't ask you if English was invented by someone with numb lips.

A shame, because that would be accurate. Much like Russian might be said to sound full of saliva and Japanese to sound very small-tongued.

 

[Musclepunch]

The guy is wonderful, to think of it, film it and then master it the way he did was brilliant, I was waiting for the sobbing woman part and went it came I shrieked with laughter, simply amazing.

Someone take this new video and re-subtitle it.


A re-subtitled copy of a re-acted copy of a re-subtitled original.

No no no...It sounds like an old type writer chewing on tin foil while being kicked down a flight of stairs.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

I barely know what to say here. I just hope this guy doesn't get pulled like the other parodies did, considering he filmed the actual acting.

Just gutteral screams coming from angry Germanic Tribes.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

That was actually awesome. I mean, he's a good actor and his German sounded legitimate, but it was also really funny at parts.

 

[TsunamiWombat]

It would be epic if people start using his video for the parodies.
