Antics

Antics are ludicrous gestures or acts committed by clowns, pranksters and various other individuals. Such action range from the mundane, like moving a log while someone's walking across, to the surreal, like transporting an entire room to the moon. The best known person who commits antics in the Downfall universe is probably Hermann Otto Fegelein: The Master of Antics.

According to some legends, Hermann Fegelein learned how to perform his antics with the Grand Master of the Antic Order: Heinrich Himmler. Himmler, as Fegelein's teacher, decided to teach the student on how to anger the German Führer, Adolf Hitler. Together, they commit antics almost all days, with an uncertain final objective. Albert Speer has also been known to work as an Antic dealer who supplies antic equipment to them

In Stalin Parodies, Mikhail Tukhachevsky is Fegelein's counterpart in commiting antics (having a B in anticology), and has committed several antics so far. Recent U-Boat Parodies have established Lt. Werner as the master of antics aboard U-96, though he is currently only a beginner and has only been seen to perform one antic which was vaguely similar to that of Tukhachevsky.

There are also some other non-Downfall characters who are known to commit antics, like Felicity Merriman, who has been pulling off pranks since childhood as per family tradition, and Khamis al-Gaddafi, who was allegedly killed during the Libyan Civil War but is presumed to be still alive committing antics on his father.

Trivia

 * Walther Hewel, in contrast with his geeky image in Downfall, was probably the only character appearing in the film who performed antics in real life - he often played practical jokes on Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, to Hitler's amusement. He thus can be considered the real Antic Master.
 * In April 2011, "Herman Fegelein" was added to the "See Also" section on Wikipedia.org's main article on "Antics". The reference stayed up for almost a year, until March 2012, when an editing war began to remove references to "that imbecile" Fegelein. The *actual reason* stated by Wikipedia's Counter-Vandalism Taskforce for removing the reference was, "This page is not about Fegelein. It is about antics! ANTICS! ANTICS!! ANTICS!!!".  Do not attempt to restore the link to "Hermann Fegelein" on the "Antics" article.
