This is not SkarPad…gasp!

'I just don't know what's real anymore...' - Padalecki realises: War is Hell

Well, while the SkarPad army is still processing the dramatic, world shattering conclusion of Round 3 (aka my bizarre, bizarre sleep-deprived sports commentary on Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. Word of advice – If you had less than two hours sleep last night, stay at least 2 metres away from any blogs at all times and whatever you do, don’t write a mock news report on two celebrities playing a children’s game, no matter how hilarious it is in your own head.) I think it’s time to take a little light relief from the hard philosophical challenges presented by SkarPad.

Personally, this War of Tall has made me reassess my place in this modern age so fundamentally that I no longer know whether I prefer the times in Super Mario Galaxy when the gravity goes all squidgy and you’re suddenly upside down on a different planet or the bits in Resident Evil 4 when you shoot someone in the head and their brain splatters all over the screen. It’s like nothing is solid anymore (especially zombie brain). So, let’s distract ourselves with less important, challenging things. Like Fascism. And here we are:

Once again, I feel like I’m way behind the internet-times. I’m such a fogey. I just discovered a parody of Downfall, one of my favourite films, that I thought was deliriously funny. It went like this:

I laughed for about five minutes, although I didn’t really get what it was all about. Then I found another parody of the same film. Then another. And another. And realised I’d pretty much already missed all the fun. So, the video above suddenly makes a lot more sense. As usual, a meme is all over the internet and I live on oblivious. I’m pretty annoyed – it seems a bit unfair that I caught the brunt of the whole tedious Boxxxee debacle but missed this much, much funnier one. The universe hates me. Especially since it’s far better than this tasteless, boring sketch that I did manage to stumble on from Al Murray who, believe it or not, used to be funny:

What the hell was John Barrowman thinking?

Anyway – question of the day. Where did all these Downfall parodies come from? And what’s your favourite one? Post up the links in the comments below.

Round 4 coming tomorrow!
