Somebody better tell Mel Brooks: The Producers is cancelled. So is his hit record from 1983, To Be Or Not To Be.
Because Nazi jokes are officially banned, now.
You better not be laughing at this. The Good Oil.
The CEO of the Anti-Defamation League has slammed Elon Musk for a series of Nazi-related jokes on his X platform.
The Tesla founder has been under fire after repeatedly making a gesture during President Donald Trump’s inauguration that drew parallels to Hitler’s Nazi salute.
To the dumb hammers of wokeness, everything is a Nazi nail. Except of course, when their own high priests do it.
The whole furore is a ridiculous storm-in-a-teacup, so naturally the mainstream media are going all-in on the lie that it was a ‘Nazi salute’.
Musk rightly mocked the pearl-clutching liars and fainting aunts.
Musk dismissed the links on his social media account, but on Wednesday morning he referenced a number of senior figures within the SS regime in an attempted joke as he doubles down on his innocence.
‘Don’t say Hess to Nazi accusations! Some people will Goebbels anything down! Stop Gőring your enemies! His pronouns would’ve been He/Himmler! Bet you did nazi that coming,’ Mr Trump’s head of the Department of Government Efficiency posted to his 214 million followers.
So, how is that any different from stuff like this:
Now I surrounded myself with some unusual cats.
There was skinny little Göbbels and Göring mister fats
And let’s not forget ole Himmler and Hess.
You’d better believe we made a hell of a mess
Say Heil – Heil – siegety Heil
We gonna whip it on the people teutonic style.
Then there’s:
Don’t be dumb, be a smarty: c’mon and join the Nazi Party!
Only a decade ago, uber-right-on Monash university student magazine, Lot’s Wife, celebrated those gags as, Heil-arious!! Nazi-shabby!! Swas-ticklingly good!!
And it was only five years ago that the painfully woke Taika Waititi yukked it up as Hitler in Jojo Rabbit.
Thousands of comments slammed Musk, who was defended by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, including Johanthan Greenblatt, the head of the Anti-Defamation League.
‘We’ve said it hundreds of times before and we will say it again: the Holocaust was a singularly evil event, and it is inappropriate and offensive to make light of it,’ he replied to the post.
‘Elon Musk, the Holocaust is not a joke.’
So, sorry, Taika, you’re cancelled.
So are you, Mel. And you, Ernst Lubitsch and Jack Benny, for both of you having the hide to make Nazi comedies even as Jews were being slaughtered in 1942. Classic TV comedy Hogan’s Heroes? Gone, gone, gone. La Vita è Bella and Roberto Benigni? Ooh, you are so cancelled.
That’s how it works, these days, apparently.
Now, Nazis, go into your dance.
