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.
