It’s from the Behind the Bastards series about G Gordon Liddy who, in addition to being a bumbling idiot with delusions of competence, was a BIG fan of the original Nazis. To the point that he would keep bringing up the SS all the time, including to American WWII veterans

    Am I very out of the loop, or just not understanding this? Nazi stuff and Ben Stiller?

    Edit: thanks everyone for enlightenment, I did not know about that. Glad Ben isn’t into Nazis or anything like that. Especially because isn’t he (Ben Stiller) Jewish? (Although I do know that doesn’t stop some people).

      Apparently what he meant was that the kind of character Ben Stiller is known for playing would be a great representation of G. Gordon Liddy, not that Ben Stiller is a nazi. (phew.)

        Yeah, you do you. But don’t be disappointed if you meme doesn’t hit as well when you set expectations (due to the format of the meme) and then leave people hanging without delivering ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

        I like it and I think, you are right. Fuck the conformists!
