Subtitle

Subtitles are textual versions of the dialog in films and television programs, usually displayed at the bottom of the screen. They can either be a form of written translation of a dialog in a foreign language, or a written rendering of the dialog in the same language, with or without added information to help viewers who are deaf and hard-of-hearing to follow the dialog, or people who cannot understand the spoken dialogue or who have accent recognition problems.

In the parodies
Subtitles are a recurring theme in the Downfall parodies and its spinoffs. Almost all of the parodies that involve the film make use of fake subtitles, usually leaving the original audio intact, or in some cases, use bits of the said audio and splice them on another clip, along with the captions for humorous effect.
