    I always knew there was something about Patrick I didn’t like. His treatmemnt of Spongebob was suspicous.

  • 5 Mr. Slick on Feb 9, 2009 at 7:08 pm

    or treatment

  • 6 Eddie Colton on Feb 9, 2009 at 7:19 pm

    Well… I’ll TRY to beware, but me and Starfish Hitler are in AA together. And we hit all the same bars.

  • 7 Nick Fechter on Feb 9, 2009 at 8:09 pm

    Does this have something to do with the neptune men blowing up the Hitler Building?

  • 8 Michael M. on Feb 9, 2009 at 8:39 pm

    Hitler wanted to turn himself inside out to eat the Jews! Of course! It all makes sense now!

  • 9 Chris Hughes on Feb 9, 2009 at 9:42 pm

    How can a screenwriter pen a scene like this and not realize that somehow their life has gone terribly, terribly wrong?

  • 10 justhesh on Feb 9, 2009 at 10:20 pm

    Turns out civilized Europe could have avoided the whole damn conflict had they just daintily spun to the left and into the comfort of a shade tree.

  • 11 jason on Feb 9, 2009 at 11:06 pm

    He’s still cooler than Samuel L. Jackson as Col. Klink in The Spirit…

  • 12 Jesse on Feb 9, 2009 at 11:22 pm

    I’m set for next Holloween. I hope they sell Starfish Hitler at Ricky’s.

    I bet they only have Sexy Starfish Hitler though.

    If there’s a better argument in favor of nuclear disarmament, I’v e yet to see it.

  • 14 Bryan on Feb 10, 2009 at 12:52 am

    Was that a fan…belt?

  • 15 AJ on Feb 10, 2009 at 1:01 am

    So, that’s where the Power Rangers originated from huh?

    Where was this movie during the MST days?? It would have been the perfect episode!

  • 16 AJ on Feb 10, 2009 at 1:02 am

    LOL! Damn, you beat me to it! Stupid time difference.

    When did Liberace join the fascist movement?

  • 18 Jack B on Feb 10, 2009 at 3:21 am

    Was that a pull-starter on the good guy (what is he called, GoofyBug Man)?

  • 19 Tv Miller on Feb 10, 2009 at 6:12 am

    Additional episodes include a Mussolini Octopus, Pol Pot Potted Plant and Idi Amin Lady Bug.

  • 24 Lord Bob on Feb 10, 2009 at 8:07 am

    In hindsight, Starfish Hitler’s greatest mistake was trying to invade the Soviet Union in winter.

    Because all the water was frozen, the idiot.

  • 25 vik44 on Feb 10, 2009 at 8:31 am

    The only thingsI hate more the hitler are starfish! The perfect bad guy!! But seriously what movie is this from? I must own it!!!

  • 26 Casey on Feb 10, 2009 at 8:48 am

    FINALLY someone made the connection between those Godless invertebrates and pure evil! Those little buggers are hellbent on world domination and NOBODY seemed to be onto them.

  • 27 Dean-o on Feb 10, 2009 at 9:43 am

    I don’t. I just. I… what? Where am I? Who’s president? Why is there blood coming out of my eyes?

  • 28 ashaman88 on Feb 10, 2009 at 9:57 am

    Japan must pay for this affront. Let us hurl the mother of all affronts at them. And by “mother of all affronts,” I mean “Celine Dion.”

  • 29 Mr. Alexander on Feb 10, 2009 at 11:25 am

    “Now, Lulabelle, if the Russians dumped Hitler’s body into the ocean, and aquatic protozoans completely infiltrated the corpse before its decomposition, is Hitler alive or dead? WRONG!”

    What I think I’m trying to say is that Israel needs to stock up on sodium…

  • 30 Just me on Feb 10, 2009 at 11:42 am

    Is it sick that I wanted to know what they were saying? Who knew Hitler spoke Japanese?

  • 31 Houndstooth Mind on Feb 10, 2009 at 11:51 am

    One word: Drugs.

  • 32 Houndstooth Mind on Feb 10, 2009 at 11:53 am

    LOL I was watching and thinking surely if we just understood what they were saying this whole thing would all somehow make sense.

  • 33 NanoRiffite on Feb 10, 2009 at 12:30 pm

    These are the kinds of hallucinations which come from eating sashimi (raw fish). I think we should stick to cooked bacon — even though that results in pictures like “Mitchell”

  • 34 Onil on Feb 10, 2009 at 12:35 pm

    Aww, poor BugMan, he’s gotta finish putting on his costume’s face plate manually. Did he run out of magic transformation juice?

  • 35 Mr. Slick on Feb 10, 2009 at 12:42 pm

    You said it

  • 36 Yanni on Feb 10, 2009 at 2:39 pm

    You know, I think I remember reading something about wanting to destroy Kamen Rider X in Mein Kampf…

  • 37 monosaccharide on Feb 10, 2009 at 2:39 pm

    Hey, remember when you asked “what do you FEAR?”

    I’m changing my answer. It’s now Starfish Hitler.

  • 38 Remmie Barrow on Feb 10, 2009 at 3:18 pm

    With all the violence and Nazis…I bet this was a kids film in Japan.

  • 39 Steve on Feb 10, 2009 at 3:37 pm

    That’s only slightly weirder then the time anime Science Task Force Gotchaman fought a volcanic Jesus.

    I repeat “slightly”

  • 40 Sasha on Feb 10, 2009 at 3:56 pm

    Oh, wow. The crazy Japanese tv show that spawned this clip has a wikipedia page:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamen_Rider_X

    It lists the other villains in this series, including Spider-Napoleon, Ghengis Khan-Condor, Leech-Dracula and Ant-Capone. Fantastic.

  • 41 Sean K on Feb 10, 2009 at 3:57 pm

    WAIT! HOW DOES IT END?! Oh I hate cliffhanger endings

  • 42 Henry Slinkman on Feb 10, 2009 at 4:01 pm

    Volcanic Jesus? Sounds like a Christianity/Scientology merger.

  • 43 SHSOBA on Feb 10, 2009 at 4:14 pm

    There is a part 2!

  • 44 Sean K on Feb 10, 2009 at 4:38 pm

    Yes there was a part 2 but that’s a cliffhanger too! I’m on the edge of my seat.

  • 45 Banana_Oil on Feb 10, 2009 at 4:47 pm

    OK, cultural nerd time. This is what the Japanese had instead of superheroes. Kamen Rider is more or less their Batman, Ultraman is roughly their Superman, and the Rangers are kind of their Superfriends or Teen Titans.

    Watching these shows has been known to cause serious injury. A clip of Go-Onger, for instance, may make your brain atempt to escape out of your ear-hole.

  • 46 Brooke on Feb 11, 2009 at 9:27 am

    What it’s just the sequel to PUMA Man. They couldn’t get the original actors since they got all big and famous…

  • 47 Mike Burgess on Feb 11, 2009 at 2:58 pm

    And yet, somehow this is still saner and more entertaining than either “Being John Malkovich” or “Camp Rock.”

  • 48 jenifersf on Feb 12, 2009 at 12:41 am

    Yes, the lack of drugs is a terrible thing.

  • 49 jenifersf on Feb 12, 2009 at 12:43 am

    u left out the underwear.

  • 50 Kevin on Feb 12, 2009 at 6:50 am

    Oh, it gets better. In one storyline a couple of years ago on one live-action kids’ show, there was a fairly straight story arc about one of the heroes getting implanted with a parasite egg, which was slowly hatching/growing in his chest; when it hatched completely, it would EAT HIS HEART AND KILL HIM.

    In the middle of this arc, the monster of the week, shaped like a public mail dropbox, had a plan to go around licking people, turning them into stamps. The bad guys would then put the stamps on their end-of-summer postcards (a tradition similar to sending christmas cards over here), which the monster would then eat. When it absorbed enough life energy from turning people into stamps, it would explode, simultaneously destroying the Earth AND sending the villains’ postcards out across the universe to all their evil space ninja friends!

    Writers for Japanese kids’ shows apparently have access to The Really Heavy Stuff.

  • 51 Brian O. on Feb 14, 2009 at 5:56 am

    Kamen Rider. Now I’m filled with shame.

  • 52 Brian O. on Feb 14, 2009 at 6:09 am

    Yet it barely comes close to the Japanese Spider-Man!

    You should also try Tomica Hero Rescue Force, a recent show where a team of specilized emergency and rescue experts solve all their problems by simply using their massive (mechandisable) robot fire engines to simply freeze everything in blocks of ice before smashing them with a blunt object.

    Oh, and the main villain is a psychotic female robot. In a frilly skirt.

    Starfish Hitler came from an episode of Kamen Rider X, which while made by Toei, is pretty much separate from Super Sentai, the show Power Rangers comes from.

    Saban did try to bring Kamen Rider BLACK RX over as Masked Rider, but the show failed spectacularly.
