Der Untergang: The Parody

'You can participate in this collaboration! Read this section for more information. Click here for reservations.'

Der Untergang: The Parody is an ongoing community collaboration parody that spoofs the entirety of Downfall. It is the second such full-length parody, preceded by The Downfall Parody Movie by YouTuber ASSHOLELA (which have since been removed).

Setting
The parody takes place within an online virtual reality game, The Greater War, which means that each character is a virtual representation of him or herself. The main conflict surrounds an online rivalry between Hitler and Stalin, and each one's attempts to force the other out of the game.

''Participants can expand and put forth their own ideas, of course. This is just a general plot outline''.

Plot
{| border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:100%;" ! scope="col"|  SPOILER ALERT!

Part One


The movie opens with Traudl discussing "this grand new MMO" she experienced when she was young, and she reminisces about her experience with the game, and how she was persuaded by her friends to join. This is followed by the beginning of the main movie, starting with Traudl's job interview with Hitler. He needed a chat writer to help him write orders to be sent to his troops, as he did not want to have to write them all himself. Traudl immediately had an advantage, as she was a professional chat writer, and secured the position easily.

Part Two
The scene cuts to three years later, on Hitler's birthday. The Soviets have started to gain the upper hand, much to Adolf's chagrin. He is informed by Burgdorf that Squad Charlie, led by Koller, has been sent into battle while at Commando Level 3, while Hitler believed them to be at Commando Level 5. Koller confirms this over the phone, as well as adding that the Soviets have taken to teabagging the dead Nazi players. This disgusts Hitler, who proceeds to walk off to presumably plan "revolutionary tactics".

The scene then shifts to Eva making a cake, both to celebrate Hitler's birthday and to feel "useful". Traudl comes in, and expresses concern that Hitler might lose the war, and that he will kill himself if such a thing happens. However, Eva has not yet resigned hope, and is in fact quite confident in Dolfy's ability to handle things. Unfortunately, Adolf's troops do not have the same optimism, holding each other in contempt and doubting his planning skills. Himmler remarks to Fegelein that "the Führer's plans are too rediculous (sic) for words" and points out that the bunker contains plenty of good game players that aren't actually doing anything in the game! Fegelein then reveals that he has "an evil plan", but is cut off by Hitler's entrance into the room before he can elaborate further.

Part Three


The scene starts at the in-game servers, where German soldiers are clearing out spambot accounts. Schenck comes across Müller and asks him what's going on. Müller responds by explaining that the spambots are being purged manually to prepare for a server upgrade. Schenck questions why some software, such as Akismet, had not been installed to do the process automatically, then proceeds to Tellermann stating that the admins are being swamped. Schenck also indirectly offers to take over the operation, and Tellermann accepts. The camera cuts to Hitler presumably doing some kind of "deodorant check" on his men. Himmler takes an opportunity to ask Hitler to request a client upgrade, which would lead to better graphics. However, Hitler refuses, stating that he'd rather focus on beating the Soviets, and thus leaves Himmler to his own devices. Himmler and Fegelein proceed to the garage, scheming another antic. Himmler reveals to Fegelein that he's collaborated with Speer to create a bugged map, and that they will present it to Hitler to use. Fegelein is at first cautious, saying that Hitler might realize it's bugged, a fear quickly dispelled by Himmler. Speer soon arrives to present the map to Hitler. Much as Himmler predicted, Dolfy suspected nothing from the map, and even highly praised Speer for its construction.This section requires expansion

Call for a full-movie parody
Talks calling for a full-movie spoof have been around for a long time by a lot of people, fellow Untergangers and fans alike. Most declare that they themselves wished to spoof the whole movie or requested other influential untergangers (most notably HRP) to do it.

The first solid suggestion for a full movie parody came from a forum thread by PikaParodies on 2 August 2012. For about two months the thread received around 6 replies. Later on 27 October 2012, sarahsktr posted on the fan group, suggesting a very similar idea for a collab spoof of Downfall, albeit to a much lesser degree (10-15 minutes). She was suggesting a happy/sad (drama) themed parody.

mfaizsyahmi supported sarahsktr's plan, replying on the FB post with suggestions on how to coordinate such a large collaboration. His idea was to have everyone claiming a scene, and each would only have to communicate with the person working with the previous or next scenes to ensure plot continuity.

He quickly passed the suggestions on the forum thread, with an addition of a proposed overseer (he suggested HRP for the job). Soalric, who has stated his interest in partaking such collaborations earlier, agreed with the general plan and on 23 November 2012 uploaded the first part, commencing the collaboration project.

In the month leading to the first upload, discussions in the chat room finalized the series' general theme, and mfaizsyahmi circulated rumours of the collaboration to increase interest amongst Untergangers on the chat.

Claim-staking
The parody, as previously mentioned, would be a compilation of parody scenes made by many different Untergangers. The process is currently ongoing, and anyone who wishes to participate may claim a scene here. More information below the table. Current rules forbid one from choosing random scenes in Downfall 's timeline (because you don't always get what you want), and an Unterganger can only choose one or several consecutive scenes that directly succeeded the last reservation.

In order to get a favourable scene, one must wait until at least one scene leading to the targeted scene has been reserved or parodied, whichever comes first.

More or less every scene in Downfall is listed here for reference.
