Hipster Hitler is a Web Comic about Exactly What It Says On the Tin: the 20th century's most-hated dictator reimagined as a member of the 21st century's most-hated subculture.

This Webcomic contains examples of:

Aesop Ju Jitsu
Anachronism Stew: Hitler playing Pacman. Lampshaded by one of his advisers yelling at him that it won't be invented for another 40 years.
Big No: "Goebbels, you deutschbag, this is Arial!"
- BLONDI NEEIIIIN!!
Butt Monkey - Rommel getting sabotaged by Hitler's douchiness.
- Aaaand the rest of his advisers.
Completely Missing the Point: Guess who.
Droste Image: See above.
Even Evil Has Standards: We're fascists, not monsters.
Face Palm: Last panel.
Fun T-Shirt: Hitler has one in every comic. See Incredibly Lame Pun below.
Granola Girl - Moar like Granola fascist, amirite?
Groin Attack - Remember rumors of Hitler only having one testicle? Well, so did every other World War One soldier. "REMOVE THE OTHER ONE."
Godwin's Law: A new variation "as the number of webcomics based on ironic misappropriations of culture increases, the probability that one of them will be about Hitler approaches one."
- Referenced by Hitler himself in this comic.
Historical In-Joke - The punchline of the "Uniforms" comic. Here, have a ruined joke: Hugo Boss already made Nazi uniforms, so he's buying what he has already. Not just that, but Hugo Boss made SA uniforms, SA being the purged branch during the Night of the Long Knives. He's repeating history.
- Hitler's testicles... er, testicle... uh... penis.
- The 20 July plot, which is averted because Hitler thinks the bomber is bourgeois.
Incredibly Lame Pun: Pretty much all of Hitler's shirts feature some Nazi-related pun, including "Three Reichs and You're Out", "Heilvetica", and "Blitz or GTFO".
- "OPERATION BRO-BAROSSA"
- This is because it turns out that Hipster Hitler's arch-nemesis is... BROSEPH STALIN!!
- I fucking LOVE Juice.
- BENGUIDO! From the same comic, "Heil" for everything. Like "Heilvetica".
  - EASTSIDE
  - WESTSIDE
  - GENOCIDE
- "Weimar Guitar Gently Weeps"
- And now he's using "reverse reichology" to get people to buy his shirts...
Memetic Mutation: Quite a few of the jokes use internet memes.
Merchandise-Driven: With only two strips up, the creators were running a poll as to which t-shirts based on the strip readers would most like to buy. By strip three, an on-line store was up with a dozen different t-shirts for sale. The entire strip seems to be little more than a cynical ploy to create a link-bait property as a vehicle to sell things to exactly the kind of people the strip parodies (not talking about Nazis here). However, we can all forgiven this because the strip really is just that funny.
- They even lampshaded it in "Advertisement."
Moral Myopia: Played straight. Hitler sees himself and his people as fascists, but as the good guys.
- not quite if you know what the term originally meant.
Never Heard That One Before: "I fucking love juice."
Refuge in Audacity
Self-Deprecation: The picture of the creators of the comic on the about page depicts a trio of alcoholic mice.
Shout Out:
- YOU ARE TEARING ME APART, LEICHTATHLET!
- I can tell by the grain and from having seen a few films in my time.
  - Oh hai guise. In the same comic, Oh god, oh man. Oh god, oh man.
  - Y U NO NOT NO WHO KIM JONG-IL IS?!
- References to an attic woman. Well, either that or Anne Frank.
- Apparently, Mussolini is the grandfather of all Guidos.
- Hey. Godwin's Law.
- All the chill people are exactly 42 minutes late.
- It's just a series of tubes.
- Bitches don't know bout my dicktatorship.
Stylistic Suck - Deliberately meant to evoke something a minimalist hipster would draw.
Take That - Don't worry, I can't hurt you. I'm French.
- In regards to Kim Jong-il - "The fuck? Begone, troll doll."
- Robert Mugabe boasting that he's ten times better than Hitler, AND can rap.
Those Wacky Nazis: But of course.
What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous? - NOT CALENDARS!!!!
World War One - Still was a hipster in it. Terrible at messaging.
Worth It - "You mean in the very end I'll be remembered as being underground? This is PERFECT! Totally worth it."
Yet Another Christmas Carol - Christmass
