A huge revelation by Venkyra21 on the original author of Hitler gets banned from Xbox Live, as he researched the website link on the video to find original postings of the parody (as Hitler's Ultimate Downfall). Follow up diggings by mfaizsyahmi reveal the name of the site owner: Bowlch, with his full name possibly being Chris Bowley.
Benad361 explained in detail why he removed or edited his previous videos, explaining that he wanted to remake his parodies to remove blasphemous or offensive content/profanities & make his works more family-friendly.
Venkyra21 reiterates his position regarding his decision to remove his Hitler PPAP parody from the public with this blog post.
The results of the Unterganger Awards have been uploaded. Big thanks to TheSilverUniverse for making the video, and to Ako675 who helped out with some things as well. From now on, Ako675 is the manager of the UA, until June 2017. Congratulations to all the winners!
10 December 2016
JennieParker87 has announced that she will be on leave from the Unterganger Awards until June 2017. The reason is her chronic illness, which drains all her energy more than usual. Ako675 will be in charge until she is well enough to return as manager.
The new Unterganger Awards website is finally open! Click here to nominate. Also note that you can nominate for Parody of the Month for September, October and November.
Ako675 has announced that the new site he's working on for the Unterganger Awards will be up and running on the 5th of November! This means that the UA will return in a few days. More details will follow.
A new site specifically for the Unterganger Awards is currently being built by Ako675. It will hopefully be ready in the start of October 2016. The UA will take a break during September. The results from August will be uploaded as usual. More information can found here.
Hitler Rants Parodies both wanted to withdraw from and remove the Unterganger of the Year contest from the forum, thus it closed a bit earlier than planned. JennieParker87 wins. She doesn't feel comfortable making a result video about it though, since it was an award she started herself.
The deadline for the Winter Bunkerland Christmas Contest has now passed. Judging will now begin and the results will be expected to be released around Christmas Day.
The results of The "Spooky Hitler" Halloween Contest have been released. Congratulations to Venkyra21 for winning 1st place and the €8 ($8.81 USD) Steam game! (Since Venkyra21 doesn't have Steam, HRP will get the price as the runner up of the contest.)
He's alive! Gokyr586 has returned with a brand new channel under the name of Venkyra21!

Gokyr586 the Terminator was terminated by Google for an unspecified reason. Further correspondence between him and Google are ongoing to know the exact reason of his termination. RIP, our favourite Gunschinator...

June 27 2015
4th-generation Unterganger Charizard has been revealed to be AlphaSkyRaider in disguise after much speculation. The two channels would later be merged under the single name of Charizard. All awards received by "Charizard" would be revoked as well.
Benad361 opened the final round of voting on the Downfall Parodies Forum, to elect a new Unterganger of the Month leadership. The nominations are over, and the three candidates to choose from are AKO675, JennieParker87, and Soalric. Good luck to the candidates, and happy voting!

3 January 2014
Hitler Rants Parodies has just set up a new community site and forum dedicated to the Downfall Parodies meme. Users from the old Downfall Parodies Forum will still be able to post and reply on that site, but are strongly encouraged to migrate to the newly-made portal, especially as both HRP and Subtitlecomedy proposed plans on slowly locking down the DFP (Downfall Parodies Forum) for archival/legacy purposes.

Deficere2's parody, "Nazi Rock Anthem", was taken down (presumably a community strike) and his channel is consequently suspended for 2 weeks.
Results for August and September's Unterganger Awards is announced. Numerous errors were spotted in the upload, which Benad361 later apologised for and corrected.
Taking heed of suggestions made by some Untergangers, the UotM skips to August/September round leaving the months of May, June and July without recipients. The UA continues with the previous nomination month of July receiving no nominations.
DictatorAntics eats a smoked salmon and a raw chicken egg, fulfilling part of his promise as a HoF inductee. Watch it here.

Echoes1224 released a new parody, marking his return after a long-standing dormancy. (parody)
2 May 2013
The wait is over as Echoes1224 expressed his returning into the Unterganging scene on his channel. He admitted a delay with the comeback video, but promises that a parody is already in the works.
Announcement video for April 2013's Unterganger Hall of Famehas been released. DictatorAntics, after a fierce voting campaign, wins and thus becomes April's inductee. Congratulations, DictatorAntics! Now we're waiting for the fish... :P
Much competition can be seen with the Unterganger Hall of Fame with Ako675, Benad361 and DictatorAntics pleading for votes. Benad361 also opened a question-and-answer exchange in anticipation for a 1000 subscriber celebration.
11 April 2013
Benad361 and DictatorAnticsannounced that the Unterganger of the Month and the Parody of the Month would cease their state of semi-integration with the Unterganger Awards, which had been initiated as a temporary solution in January. Effective from the running month of April 2013 onwards, each of the three will have their separate nomination thread and separate judging.
9 April 2013
Echoes1224 announced that he would either resume making parodies after an extended dormancy or officially retire on 1 May 2013, when he would either upload a new parody in years or a farewell video.
DA's first act as the new PotM judge is to hold a referendum which, among others, is to decide on whether TheSilverUniverse, who was made judge under Master Studios last year but later sacked on MS's will, should be brought back to the judging panel.
Hitler Parody Wiki now sports a brand new main page design, developed entirely from scratch. This replaces the previous design that dates back to the founding of the wiki which has been extended over the years.
1 April 2013
Hitler Parody Wiki becomes Blondi's Wiki
Unterganger Hall of Shame is launched
Downfall Parodies Forum becomes Pope Fegelein Forum
Master Studiosannounced an official "Hiatus" (temporary retirement) that according to him has been long overdue. He also confirms that the Parody of the Year Awards will be announced (without a deadline) as his last act before going full sabbatical.
In response to MS's retirement Benad361opens a thread to nominate and vote two new, independent PotM judges.
20 March 2013
Swedish television channel SVT1 aired a programme (Kobra) about Downfall parodies, with interviews from Hitler Rants Parodies at 20:30 UTC. Watch Kobra on SVT's website
Hitler Rants Parodies announced that the Unterganger Hall of Fame will be inducting the last Unterganger on June 2013's round. After said period, an evaluation will be made (through yet undetermined means) as to whether there are any more noteworthy Untergangers to induce, in which the HoF may reopen on July 2013. (Announcement thread)
14 March 2013
Unless reported otherwise by the judges, all the three awards - the Unterganger of the Month (UotM), the Parody of the Month (PotM) and the Unterganger Awards (UA) - will be assumed to have their nominations in the Unterganger Awards' thread. Those who wish to nominate for any of the three awards are advised to look at UA's nomination thread first before asking away. This wiki's Contests Portal will act on this assumption.
11 March 2013
Benad361 officially confirms (yet AGAIN, as nobody was listening the previous time) that the Unterganger of the Month has not stalled, but has been semi-integrated into the Unterganger Awards instead (hence the 'Unterganger of the Month' category in the UA). More to follow...
As previously agreed, after some delay (due to coordination), Ako675 released the Unterganger Awards' announcement video for February, due to a prior agreement in which he and Benad361 agreed to take turns. This in turn led to the opening of the voting thread for March on the forum. Vote away!
9 March 2013
As of today, two Unterganging award events are stalled, or lagging behind. Whether these hinted at possible internal problem within the community is open to speculation, given recent turmoil and flame wars. These award events are:
Parody of the Month: Still on January 2013's phase
Parody of the Year Awards: No word about this annual event lately.
Master Studios the maintainer of the two award systems, has been increasingly inactive in recent times. Whether the results of the PotY will ever see the light of day, remains unknown.
Fegaltube, previously presumed dead, came down to the chat in person, and confirmed that the forum post about his death was completely false, written by his trolling ex-girlfriend. And it seemed that the whole community had helplessly fallen for the hoax.
Benad361 and HitchcockJohn have released yet another collaboration parody, featuring the adventures of Hitler and friends, in the face of an insidious enemy. The parody is a long story, and part two is expected to arrive online in the coming days...
Master Studios has finally released a video formally announcing the winners of the Parody of the Month for the months of October, November, and December to fulfill the demand by the community to publish them at the 31st deadline in order to maintain his leadership over the award series.
Due to a relatively low number of votes in the Unterganger Awards for January so far, Benad361 has been attempting to persuade many who have not voted as yet, to make their contribution on January's voting thread, in time for the closure of the vote on January 31st.
The thread for January's Unterganger Awards has been opened, as promised, by new leading-judge Benad361 on the Downfall Parodies Forum. Hurry and vote, before time runs out! In relation to this news, it has been announced that the Parody of the Month and year awards will be handed over to a new, elected leadership (a collective decision has been reached on this) if Master Studios fails to release the last three months of awards by the 31st of January (the closing time of January's nominations).
In the above video, TheSilverUniverse announces that he's stepping down from the main judge post for the Unterganger Awards, and is handing over the role to Benad361 who also presided over the Unterganger of the Month.
In turn, Benad361 hereby announces that the thread for voting in January's Unterganger Awards will open on the 23rd of January on the Downfall Parodies Forum, under his new patronage. He has also reminded viewers via Facebookthat UA nominations, and UOTM nominations are now one and the same. Benad361 now has a leading role in the UA's, and the Unterganger of the Month - can he withstand der pressure? Tune in soon to find out!
Soalric, original uploader of part 4 of Der Untergang: The Parody, has re-uploaded his part - now parts 5 and 6 - back on YouTube. Subtitlecomedy has yet to reupload his part of the mega-collab.
13 January 2013
It has been noted for the past 3-5 days that parts 3 and 4 of Der Untergang: The Parody has been taken down within days of their upload. This has been largely attributed to Constantin Film's assumption that long videos are parts of the movie uploaded illegally on YouTube. No solutions have been agreed on - the parts taken down remain unavailable.
As it seems the world is very much intact, the voting deadline for the Parody of the Year Awards has been extended to December 31st, and the results will be announced on New Years Day. Submit your ballots.
19 December 2012
Mfaizsyahmi won his third Unterganger of the Month title, and is subsequently inducted into the list of judges. Congratulations to Mfaizsyahmi!
Benad361 has announced that the Unterganger of the Month announcement video (for November) will definitely be announced on the 18th of December, and December's voting thread on the forum will also be opened on the same day. Benad apologized for the delays, citing university-related issues and other Christmas-based commitments as why they have been late.
The run-off for October's Parody of the Month has been decided. The winner will be announced alongside the winner of November's Parody of the Month tomorrow.
The Parody of the Year Awards have moved into the Final Voting Stage where the Untergangers community decides the winners of this first annual awards show. Submit your ballots here
After recent stagnation, Master Studios has announced there is a tie for the October winner of the Parody of the Month award and contest rules dictate that ties shall be resolved by vote. The Run-Off will end on December 3rd, and the winner will be decided by the Unterganger community
24 November 2012
Following the eventual tie-breaking, Staedty86 won his third Unterganger of the Month title, and is subsequently inducted into the list of judges. Congratulations to Staedty86!
The run-off vote again descended into a stalemate between Benad361 and Staedty86, much to the former's irritation. In an attempt to break the deadlock, Benad361 has again re-opened the run-off vote for another 24 hours, hoping that others will make the effort to vote. He later overturned his decision after mfaizsyahmi finally voted after a few days of being coerced to, thus breaking the tie at long last.
Soalric initiated Der Untergang: The Parody, a mega-collab to spoof the whole of Downfall. Similar to a relay race, each Unterganger continues where the last one left off, parodying one or two scenes each. Join the biggest Unterganger collaboration in history! Information and discussion can be found here.
22 November 2012
Benad361, frustrated at the lack of votes, has been attempting to cajole untergangers into voting in October's Unterganger of the Month? run-off vote, worrying that a similarly indecisive result could be imminent if voters don't bother to make a contribution.
21 November 2012
Benad361 finally returns to take charge of the severely-delayed October Unterganger of the Month, but, due to the inconclusiveness of the nominations, a run-off vote will be held until 23 October. Submit your votes quick!
The Category nominations for the Parody of the Year Awards have been decided. The fifth spot had been tied, however in the run-off the result was also a tie, so Master Studios has decided to allow all six categores:
Best Parody Series,
Best Special Effects,
Most Innovative,
Most Entertaining,
Best Full-length Parody, and
Best Music Parody.
With the categories finalized, the nomination process for each category will soon begin.
All is quiet on the Western Front..... None of the September unterganging contests except the Unterganger Hall of Fame had been finalized and had the winners announced. Benad361, Master Studios and Hitler Rants Parodies are all currently busy with real-life matters, with the latter giving [temporary] admin rights to TheSilverUniverse to take out spam on the Downfall Parodies Forum.
Hitler Rants Parodies, despite having two weeks off moving house, will still be overseeing October's Unterganger Hall of Fame, as evidenced by the contest's move to the first round of voting. Vote submissions are now open.
The Voting stage to determine the categories for the Parody of the Year awards. The five categories with the most votes would be chosen. Four out of the five spots were filled, however there is a tie for the fifth spot so a run-off vote between the two tied categories is now underway. Also, to reduce the risk of voting fraud, instead of an anonymous poll, Master Studios has required that votes be done openly through thread replies.
Another unterganging contest vote-rigging has been detected. Hitler Rants Parodies reported that the Unterganger Hall of Fame, currently in its third month, has been deliberately rigged to raise vzorkic's votes so that the two final candidates tie, adding that up to 8 votes to vzorkic might be directly related. This is reminiscent to the Unterganger of the Month vote-rigging by Hanif837 nominating himself back in May. It is unknown whether the newest case is perpetrated by one person or more. As a result, the HoF contest will be suspended, and final nomination would restart after the perpetrators are tracked down.
–by MF
A few hours after the rigged vote page is closed, voting for the final phase of the Unterganger Hall of Fame has once again been opened. It's expected to run for only two days and all previous votes in the rigged vote page is thus invalidated. Resubmit your votes to determine who will be inducted into September's HoF!
The perpetrator of the vote-rigging have been tracked down by the unterganging community to be a certain troll named UberOgre1337. Please don't feed him, bitte!
27 September 2012
Notoriousrob01 is catching up with his Downfall Parody Awards with the announcement of August 2012s results (announcement video, hosted on Vimeo). Perhaps for technical reasons, it's not uploaded to YouTube, and so far is only announced through the Facebook fan group (permalink). The video is also uploaded to YouTube (announcement video).
Depending on whether the new Downfall Parody Awards management will take over notoriousrob01's duties on October, this might be Rob's second last DPA results announcement.
Master Studios has yet to announce August 2012's Parody of the Month results as of today. Co-judge TheSilverUniverse revealed that the winner has been decided two weeks ago, but the announcement video has not been made by Master as yet, and he (TSU) doesn't have the permission to make his own announcement.
The award announcements are getting more and more delayed... Master Studios have yet to announce August's Parody of the Month due to some preoccupations. The Downfall Parody Awards have practically stalled and are now three months behind schedule. Notoriousrob01 did not respond to any queries regarding the DPA for the whole duration. Untergangers handling the other three award ceremonies have thus come together and are planning to take over the DPA, possibly without notoriousrob's permission if such silence in communication continues.

The Parody of the Year Awards has now moved to the next phase of voting - to vote for award categories that will be featured in the actual parody nominations. Voting closes on 30 September. Submit your votes now!
After a fierce nomination battle between voters of both KakashiBallZ and TheSilverUniverse in the Unterganger Hall of Fame, KakashiBallZ prevailed with 13 votes against TSU's 10. KakashiBallZ thus became the second unterganger to be inducted into the prestigious Hall of Fame. Congratulations!
Contrary to his announcement of a final retirement back in 27 May 2012, Sparx476 seemed to be coming back yet again, releasing 3 parodies beginning on 21 August. It's unsure what is his standard of being active in the community; he only confirms that he will release parodies when he feel like it - probably in a similar burst like this one.
–by MF
22 August 2012
TheSilverUniverse has been added to the panel of judges for the Parody of the Month contest. After adopting a similar rule to Benad's, Master Studios has decided that if an unterganger wins three Parody of the Month awards within the same year, then he will be sent an invitation to sit on the panel. If he accepts he will become a judge and as such will be bound by the contest of the rules.
–by MS
20 August 2012
Benad361 expressed a desire to take a break/short period of retirement after he finishes his newest series. He will still indefinitely preside over the Unterganger of the Month contest. He named upcoming university commitments as key to this decision. He declared via his wikia page that he will return again at some point, if he does go through with this plan.
Hitler Rants Parodies became the first unterganger to be inducted into the Unterganger Hall of Fame. While the Hall of Fame was his creation, he won this month's round fairly by popular vote.

Some time between 16 June 2012 and today 1979Onetime retracted his retirement statement. Aye aye aye untergangers! Please make up your mind before you announce your retirement! :P–by MF
Incredibly, Hanif does not seem to have taken the hint, ironically congratulating Mfaizsyahmi on the Unterganger of the Month award video. Has he even watched the video?! We'll bring you more news as it comes in...–by Benad
KNIGHTCleric has turned to the dark side of unterganging. His persistent inability to enjoy the parodies finally fell under the radar of vigilant untergangers in this parody of smelloftheice's. In the words of nietzscheprime in this parody: "This handicapped neanderthal tends to go on dislike sprees because he suffers from brain aneurysm...and his? language barrier problems - any video whose English is not "Hallo I want food eat now good" it dislikes."–by Benad and Mfaizsyahmi
May 2012
31 May 2012
Mfaizsyahmi is announced Unterganger of the Month for May by Benad361, making him the first to receive the title for two months in a row (announcement video). The notorious Hanif837 was further exposed and condemned by Gaddafi in the presentation, praising Mfaizsyahmi for foiling the "Hanif conspiracy".
