Guess they're not all gone, but this one is a direct response to the loss of the videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBO5dh9qrIQ Did some more digging.

Not only has THIS video been pulled, but as far as I can tell, ALL of the Hitler Downfall videos have been pulled. Its sad. So many of them are funny, and they help keep this particular movie to the forefront of the public's mind. If it wasn't for these, I might never have wanted to go check out the original, and now that they've pulled this, their free advertising and evangelism has ended. They killed it. Perhaps they had their own reasons. Perhaps they were worried about their artistic integrity. Perhaps they simply needed to enforce the copyright in order to maintain it. Whatever the reason, a meme is dead and the action seems awfully short-sighted.

Hilarious video, but really cool to hear about Chris's journey, as I too went to an animation school and majored in that. Great stuff Hutch. Dude, that interview was stellar!
