Annotation

This paper collates Hitler Rants parodic subtitles in three languages: English, Hebrew and Spanish. The critical distance vital to parody was mainly shown in register odds. Inanity was discerned in the juxtaposition of a banal matter and the grave original theme. Most commentators appear to have found this humor mode tolerable.
