Although starting out as a series of videos of the same scene, with Hitler ranting about whatever topic comes up, it has since evolved into a universe of its own with more scenes from Downfall being used. The character sheet for the original film is here.

---

Adolf Hitler

• Berserk Button: EVERYTHING!
• Butt Monkey: Nearly every scheme plotted by anyone, including (or perhaps especially) himself, ends with something bad happening to him.
• Hair-Trigger Temper
• No Indoor Voice
• Only Sane Man: At least he thinks so.
• Psychopathic Manchild
• Reality Warper: His pencils have been capable of blowing up buildings and stopping time.
• Surrounded by Idiots: Sure, he's a Psychopathic Manchild, but it's hard to argue with a lot of the stupidity that goes on inside the bunker.

Wilhelm Burgdorf

• The Alcoholic
• Commander Contrarian: While nowhere near the level of Jodl, he often objected to Hitler's rants during the early videos and sometimes still does if the original Bunker scene is used.
• Trigger Happy

Hermann Fegelein

• Adaptational Villainy: In Downfall and in real life, Fegelein was only an assistant to Himmler and got shot for desertion upon trying to leave the bunker. In the internet videos, he's more of a Trickster making life in the bunker a living hell. The real life Fegelein did commit serious war crimes though.
• Nigh Invulnerability: The few times Fegelein has been caught and even killed, he comes back like nothing ever happened. It's been taken to its extreme a few times. Hitler did once try to have Göring eat Fegelein, but it failed.
• The Prankster
• Reality Warper
• Say My Name: FEGELEIN! FEGELEIN! FEGELEIN!
• Trickster: His antics range from Sitcom Arch Nemesis levels to outright malevolence.
• Troll

Joseph Goebbels (AKA Dr. Skeletor)

• Hair-Trigger Temper: Just like the Führer, he can rant up a storm.
• Kubrick Stare
• My Name Is Not Durwood: He HATES being called Dr. Skeletor.
• Yes-Man

Hermann Göring

• Big Eater
• Extreme Omnivore
• Fat Bastard
• The Quiet One

Otto Gunsche

• Captain Obvious: Gunsche often informs Hitler of obvious things, such as that he is Hitler.
• The Ditz: He is not very bright
• The Stoic

Heinrich Himmler

• Trickster: He's also involved with Fegelein's antics.

Alfred Jodl

• Bald of Evil: As far as Hitler is concerned at least.
• Commander Contrarian: His only purpose is to object to whatever comes out of Hitler's mouth. Of course, the one plan he agreed to was the plan Hitler actually wanted him to object to.
• Deadpan Snarker

Hans Krebs

• Companion Cube: Loves pointing at maps.
• Mr. Exposition: Usually the one to explain the situation at hand.
