Retirement

Retirement is when an Unterganger, due to either lack of ideas (Unterganger's Block), time, interest or any number of other reasons, quits parody-making, either for a short time or permanently.

Some retired Untergangers have chosen to close their accounts following their departure (this is known as Suicide, which in turn was coined from the fact that most high-ranking Nazi officers, including Hitler himself, ended their careers by committing suicide), but many others choose to leave their accounts open, allowing people to still view their videos.

Executions (forced retirement or termination) may also occur if YouTube has decided to close down an Unterganger's account due to what they see as a "copyright violation"; the latter is generally considered to be unfair given the rather draconian nature of copyright enforcement on the Internet, as most Untergangers would only use parts of copyrighted works as a commentary, satire or parody and not as a blatant act of piracy.
