Am I sick for finding this funny? - stellar - 06-02-2017
I feel his pain and the reason I have slowed down my posts is I believe I think what I found is correct however as some have pointed out there is no way to prove my work. Now if I'm correct I fear we all will never find meaning of the text of the VMS. Maybe language is not my game, I'm no dictator but has anyone here thrown a fit over the VMS or do you know of anyone who has been driven mad over the VMS? This maybe sick humor, but we are adults and we can handle it lol.

Aaaaand the Godwin point has been reached, albeit in a most unusual way.

There has been an exceptionally funny series of parodies of this and some other scenes of this movie in Russia - all linked to actual governmental activities or newsmaking, and thus the more so funny.
But the real value was that they were not only subtitled, but professionally dubbed into "pseudo-German" - a mix of German and vulgar Russian enveloped in German word morphology - which satirizes Russian stereotypes about the German language. And the subtitles provide "translation" of that speech in courteous expressions.
Those were true masterpieces, after those I can't force myself to watch subtitled-only versions, they all are so bleak as compared to the dubbed ones.
Unfortunately, only Russian speakers can enjoy those clips by definition. Here's one example, anyway ("Hitler & Skype", inspired by the plans to ban Skype in Russia promoted by the major mobile operators losing voice telephony revenues):
