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.)
