About

The Guy Who Killed Hitler refers to a series of jokes, pranks and memes intended to trick people into praising Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, who in World War Ii was responsible for the deaths of millions of Jews, Soviets, non-Jewish Polish civilians, disabled people, homosexuals and more. In 1945, Hitler committed suicide, making him the person responsible for his death. These jokes usually feature the teller suggesting that they "build a statue of the man who killed Hitler" in hopes that another will agree.

Origin

The earliest known reference to the "guy who killed Hitler" was posted by Urban Dictionary [1] user Random Blackman 1 on February 17th, 2014. They published a joke in which one person suggest they "make a big ass statue of the man who killed Hitler" (shown below).


Ray "hey man, you know what they should do?" Tim "what?" Ray" they should like, make a big ass statue of the man who killed Hitler." Tim "uh-huh..." Ray "and they could like, gild it with gold and silver and s---, and -" Tim "I don't know about gold and silver, but s--- sounds just about right for it." Ray "and they could put it in the middle of D.C., and children could take school field trips to see it, and learn about such an international hero." Tim "Ray, do you know who killed Hitler?" Ray "no, but it was some ally soldier, wasn't it" Tim "no, no, it definitely wasn't an allied soldier" Ray" then who-" tim "he killed himself, you dumb ass." #nazis #race #hypocrisy #napoleon dynamite #country stomping #ass holery by Random Blackman 1 February 17,2014
