But it looks like the fun is over.

If you’re not sure what we’re on about – Downfall is a German language film depicting, you guessed it, the final ten days of Adolf Hitler’s life in his Berlin bunker. One scene has been endlessly parodied using the same premise: snatch the film’s climax, in which Bruno Ganz as Hitler is told he cannot win the war, and add new subtitles to make the Fuhrer rail against anything from the iPad to the new Hannah Montana album. There have even been law firm adverts [not all the clips are in good taste!] and upset law professors in the mix. But not any more.

Hollywood Reporter: Constantin Film, the production company behind the Adolf Hitler film “Downfall” that spawned hundreds of Internet parodies, defended its decision to have YouTube remove the clips in part as a response to complaints from those satirized in them.

…

“Sometimes we have been asked to take certain ones down — by companies whose products have been ridiculed or from Jewish associations who were offended by certain neo-Nazi parodies using ‘Downfall’ footage,” Martin Moszkowicz, Constantin’s head of film production, told THR. “But we don’t want to be the judge of what’s good or bad taste. We just see this as a simple case of unauthorized use of our copyright-protected material.”
