OMG that is the funniest thing I have seen in a LONG while.
I’m a little disturbed at the comparison of old-school literature folks to Hitler, and it fails as support for argument according to Godwin’s Law, but as entertainment it is awesome!
I agree with your points, Matt. I don’t think the comparison is traditional literary study = Hitler.
I think the comparison is trying to keep all of English studies traditional = Hitler.
Which isn’t a great comparison. But is hilarious!
Oh my gosh, too funny. I love the part especially where he says, “Anybody who assigns anything other than a five-paragraph essay, please leave the room.”

As I understand it, this clip has been remade for a variety of contexts. I wasn’t part of the editorial process on this piece, so I don’t know if this is it or if there’s going to be a larger contextualization of remix culture along with it.
