    Shout Factory TV made DVDs for Super Mario among other kids cartoons.
    Interesting contrast between that and *literally Adolf Hitler*

    I have to watch this every few days, to push aside the incoming fascist bullshit under trmup. Has made me smile since 1985.

    I think they messed up by showing Hitler right away. It would have been so much funnier watching this music video, not knowing what it's about, seeing all the girls say hi, and then seeing Hitler pop out for the first time at 0:28. It would have been very surprising. Opportunity lost.

      I think it wouldve changed the joke from "ha, look at how funny it is to laugh at nazis" into "surprise hitler"
