He could tattoo "NAZI" on his forehead and some people will tell you that's actually "IZVN" upside down
"Well what about that tattoo on your chest? Doesn't it say 'Die Bart, die'?"
"No! That's German for 'The Bart. The."
Nobody who speaks German could be a monster.
Having studied history and lived in Germany - this must be sarcasm, no?
It's a reference from The Simpsons. Sarcasm is a good explanation, though it's probably more accurately satire
I’d call it irony. Satire is usually a more pointed critique- it would be referencing a specific situation or trope or person it wanted to lambast. So maybe a bit of satire about the US prison system? Honestly I don’t think they were trying to go there though.
It's a gag line from the Simpsons
for the longest time I thought that line had way more to it, but nope, that's it. it's just a reference to Hitler.
I only thought there was more to it because classic Simpsons always had fantastic writing with multiple underlying references.
