That explains why they were concentrating the Jews...

[–]Anadyne 21 points22 points ago

What do you get when you squeeze a synagogue?

Jews...

A swing and a miss.

[–]HerpMcDerpenheimer 27 points28 points ago

"Ich habe nach einem Glas Saft gefragt, nicht dass ihr die Juden vergasen sollt." Makes sense.

[–]vercetian 7 points8 points ago

Thank you, I was hoping someone who spoke German could do this for me.

[–]Herpbert 1 point2 points ago

Hmm... Maybe it was something like:

"Ich meinte das Glas dieses Juden, nicht vergast diesen Juden!"

Sounds stupid, but maybe hitler was a collector of fancy, sometimes jewish, glasses...

[–]Hatchet86 1 point2 points ago

i wanted to write exactly the same ...

[–]TotallyFlaccid 21 points22 points ago

old joke is old

[–]CopperHead12 2 points3 points ago

Bo Burnham

[–]I_Need_A_Beard 1 point2 points ago

I swear, Reddit is full of Hitler and Fallout today.

[–]Slurrrr 1 point2 points ago

I'm very certain Hitler's primary language was English...Definitely

[–]coottenhimer 1 point2 points ago

It's funny because millions of people died.

[–]PerhapsPossibly 3 points4 points ago

That was heilarious.

[–]I_CAPE_RATS 1 point2 points ago

Too soon

[–]Schnitze1 0 points1 point ago

Deleted. Read comment below.

[–]ScratchBomb 13 points14 points ago

[–]downvotesarefunny 7 points8 points ago

Sigh... while you are correct you have also made an error. Which I'll break into two parts.

A) It's Gas and Glass that are being put side by side which in German are Gas and Glas. So they do sound similar there.

B) "Juice and Jews" to "Saft und Juden" The phonetic difference between Saft and Juden is even greater, and considering those are the two words actually being compared here THAT'S where your criticism should've been.

Also the fact that the two words even have a different number of syllables would've made your sarcastic comment (notable by the extended "so") actually funny.

EDIT: to include the phrases (via Google Translate as I don't know German grammer) "Glass of Juice" >>> "Glas Saft" and "Gas the Jews" >>> "Gas die Juden"

[–]seltsame 3 points4 points ago

Mh. Well. "Gas" can not be used as a verb in German, at least no in that form, it would be "vergasen" but, I guess, we have dissected this pun enough for now.

[–]77108 4 points5 points ago

Well, if there ever was an appropriate time to be a grammar nazi...

[–]downvotesarefunny 0 points1 point ago

I believe you win sir/madam

[–]Schnitze1 0 points1 point ago

You are right on all counts. I am sorry for dissecting the joke as well as it was pointless. I admit defeat and will repent to the great cat overlord of reddit for my spiteful failure of a comment. Do to my current job I am forced o live with my grandma in an old folks home that is in the area for a few months to avoid paying rent... I am slowly going insane and my comment above was just more evidence of this.

[–]Sadonyoriik 4 points5 points ago

The downvotes... my brain hurts.

[–]TotallyFlaccid 2 points3 points ago

why do people do this? logically dissect a joke like this?

[–]Schnitze1 1 point2 points ago

Hate people who do that. My temporary living situation with grandma is causing my brain to corrode. Maybe that is the source of all spiteful comments? Science.

[–]alcakd -2 points-1 points ago

Because somebody has to do it. Imagine if NOBODY corrected anything for the fear of looking like a "smart alec" or etc. Everything that is wrong just continue being wrong.

[–]xrisnothing -2 points-1 points ago

We like smart jokes and/or speak German and the phrases translate immediately in our brain and make no sense and aren't funny?

[–]alcakd -2 points-1 points ago

Are you implying the Germans don't speak English?

[–]ScratchBomb 0 points1 point ago

and he never got his glass of juice. Probably went something like this

[–]RNRSaturday 0 points1 point ago

He was so misunderstood.

[–]04pags 0 points1 point ago

holy shit repost

[–]Tatpixie13 0 points1 point ago

[–]dirtyword 0 points1 point ago

I came to reddit for the cats. I stayed for the constant, incessant making light of the holocaust and jokes about the millions upon millions killed within living memory.

It helps when the jokes are so thoughtful and original.

[–]AnArmyOfWombats 0 points1 point ago

I prefer Eddie Izzard's take on the vegetarian painter...

hunched over a painting, holding a brush "I can't get the fucking trees... Augh! I will kill everyone in the world!"

[–]Yells_at_reposts 0 points1 point ago

SERIOUSLY? THIS AGAIN? I THOUGHT WE WERE DONE WITH THIS JOKE.

[–]Albino_Polarbear 0 points1 point ago

Is this funny to people? I can handle Holocaust jokes so long as they are actually funny

[–]kyz_xox 0 points1 point ago

I laughed so hard

motive is probably the wrong word... still funny though

[–]reallyannoyed -3 points-2 points ago

Meh. Not that funny. Not because it's offensive, just because it's stupid and not clever in any way.

[–]fab11 -4 points-3 points ago

Me and my Jewish friend laughed so hard at this.

[–]reallyannoyed 0 points1 point ago

Ah, the ethnic friend mention. Weak sauce.

[–]shakycam3 -1 points0 points ago

Not funny. Not at all.

[–]FishWash -1 points0 points ago

Hi, I'd like a gas the jews.

[–]TheAntiStud_ -4 points-3 points ago

I have been seeing the same post for years, I don't see why you are still on this planet. Get some new content or I will down vote all your posts

[–]Rasta_Man69 -1 points0 points ago
