Parody Universe

The Parody Universe is the world where all of the Downfall parodies and it's spin-offs take place. Different Untergangers have their own views on exactly what this world is, but the most common interpretation is that it is some form of parallell universe or wierd alternate dimension.

In most cases, the Parody Universe follows a vaguely similar timeline to the real world, as most real-life historical events also exist in the parallell world. However, the timeline is extremely inconsistent, considering the references that are frequently made.

For example, the music of Justin Bieber, an artist discovered in 2009, has apparently existed as early as 1945. During that year Hitler made several efforts to have Justin Bieber eliminated. This also led to the formation of the United Bieber Fever Alliance, an organization of teenage girls who declared a war against Hitler after one of his attempts to kill Bieber. Interestingly enough, in the parallell timeline, Bieber not only existed 64 years before he was discovered in real life, but was also around at the same time as the height of Kate Bush's career, which was largely in the 1980's.

It's also worth noting that the parody universe seems to have very unusual technologies considering the timeframe. For instance, Hitler is often talking about video games, and in one of the most famous parodies, rants about getting banned from X-Box Live. There are also the various strange superweapons used by various characters, such as Hitler's Pencil of Doom, Mikhail Tukhachevsky's Fork of Pwnage, or Captain Thomsen's bottle of mass destruction.

The spin-off parody series such as Benad361's Stalin Parodies, HitchcockJohn's U-Boat Parodies, and Juniermahri246's recent parodies centered on Korean soldiers have helped to expand on the strange universe in which the parodies are set.
