    On the one hand I hate to see Rowan used like this. On the other hand you’re not wrong.

      Wasn’t there an episode of Mr Bean where he pretended to be Hitler? Like miming the Nazi marching and using a finger or something as a mustache.

        I don’t think it wasn’t Bean specifically. It does sound vaguely familiar. Perhaps one of Rowan’s stand-up specials? Bean is definitely his most recognized role outside the UK but he’s had a long and varried career.

        Though we could both be misremembering the chancellor of the ministry of silly walks. John Cleese as Basil Fawlty series 1 episode 6 The Germans.

      The meme is wrong! None of those three items historically tie together, except that they share the racism angle.
