So you have a story you want to write, but there's just one problem. Your villains just aren't villainous enough. You want villains that are threatening, intimidating, and just reeking of evil, but you can't come up with anything. Here's an idea: throw some Nazis in there! What's that you say? Your work doesn't take place during World War II? No problem! If you want them showing up during the Battle of Gettysburg, just have some jump in a time machine! The reason they don't show up in the history books early is because a bunch of Allied time travelers dragged them back to the 20th century before they could change anything. Or you could just skip the whole backstory altogether! They're Nazis - everyone knows they're bad guys! Fair warning though, sudden use of Nazis may have your audience invoking both Godwin's Law and Chandler's Law. They may also accuse you of pandering, as they didn't need to see swastikas to know the villains were evil. Sometimes used for Historical Hilarity (of the Adolf Hitlarious variety), particularly if a character utterly fails at history. But be careful... many audiences don't find Nazis funny at all. Note that this trope is about actual Nazis that are shoehorned into something that has nothing to do with World War II or Nazi Germany. If a character is in a Nazi-like uniform, but is not actually wearing a real Nazi uniform, it's Putting on the Reich. If a Nazi-like organization exists, but isn't the Nazi Party, it's A Nazi by Any Other Name. This trope also doesn't apply to non-World War II settings that one would expect to find Nazis, such as a secret Argentinian hideout. Inversely, it does apply to a World War II setting where one wouldn't expect to see Nazis, such as the Battle of Midway. Compare Gratuitous Ninja (ninjas in a work that's not about ninjas), Instant Awesome: Just Add Mecha!, (Humongous Mecha in a work that's not about giant robots), and Everything's Deader with Zombies (zombies in a work not about zombies or The Undead); they can overlap in Nazi Zombies. Contrast No Swastikas (Nazis are removed from a work about them) and Non-Nazi Swastika (where unrelated things may look Nazi). For gratuitous comparisons to Nazism in debates, see Godwin's Law. |

El Nazi and La Nazi from CMLL, then came Furia Nazi later. La and Furia would become known as La Comandante and Furia Roja instead but Roja still kept a swastika on his mask. | |

A variation in Hellboy, since Nazis (or rather, reactivated Nazis with Gnarly Weapons projects) are recurring foes: in Hollow Earth, a half rusted machine with a great big swastika is found miles underground, but has no real influence on the plot (since the subterranean dwellers are already hostile to the surface dwellers). | |

And one day, when he has the Spirit tied up, it's Nazi day and he dresses himself, his assistant and his base up in a Nazi theme. The Octopus is played by Samuel L. Jackson, by the way. | |

Cracked: The Quick Fix article entitled "4 Baffling Ways the Continent of Asia Loves Hitler," which showcases bizarre appearances by the Third Reich in Asian businesses. Besides the Hitler Fried Chicken example above, the article features an Indian clothing store named "Hitler," magnets and key rings of a vampire Hitler in Taiwan, and an SS-themed cake shop in Indonesia. An article about incredibly offensive weddings features a Chinese couple having a Nazi-themed wedding, complete with the groom in an SS uniform and saluting. Seanbaby's banner on Cracked features him kicking Hitler in the face for some reason. As of this time, he only has one article that has anything to to with World War II, and it contains no actual Nazis. |

Rat Race has a scene where the (Jewish) Pear family, on a road trip through Nevada, sees a sign for the Barbie Museum and decides to visit. It turns out to actually be the Klaus Barbie Museum, and it's staffed entirely by Neo-Nazis. This serves to set up an Overly Pre-Prepared Gag where Randy Pear (played by John Lovitz) gets mistaken for a very tasteless Hitler impersonator by a convention of WWII veterans. | |

Persona 2: Innocent Sin has the Last Battalion, an army of Nazis who were rumored to have survived the war and are looking for the Crystal Skulls in Sumaru City. One could think that, while it is true that some of the Nazis were interested in getting their hands on Public Domain Artifacts, the Last Battalion could easily be replaced with any other treasure-hunting group (even a fictional one), and the plot would still make sense. Then it is revealed that they exist precisely because Nazis were so infamous and surrounded by conspiracy theories. They're basically rumors brought to life by the power of Nyarlathotep, who impersonates Hitler himself. | |

The Nostalgia Critic has made a few out-of-the-blue Nazi jokes: Parodied in his review of Bridge to Terabithia. He criticizes the animation of the fantasy segments as inconsistent, and uses his reviews suddenly changing styles to Frank Miller's as an example. The scene then shifts to a monochrome Sin City-like setting with Samuel L. Jackson standing behind him in a Nazi uniform. In the review for Sharknado, he and The Cinema Snob are trying to come up with snappy titles for B Movies. One of the titles they think of is "Nazi Cannibal Spiders". |

In Ninja High School, multiple characters (especially during the earlier stories) appear with Nazi-like uniforms to show how evil they are. Main character Jeremy also has a Nazi Superpowered Evil Side. It's largely thanks to Ben Dunn's Author Appeal for all things World War II, as other stuff from that time period (like heroes wearing G.I. gear) randomly pop up as well. | |

Parodied in his review of Bridge to Terabithia. He criticizes the animation of the fantasy segments as inconsistent, and uses his reviews suddenly changing styles to Frank Miller's as an example. The scene then shifts to a monochrome Sin City-like setting with Samuel L. Jackson standing behind him in a Nazi uniform. | |

Also, several early Super Sentai Big Bads had the title "Führer", despite not being German or having any apparent connection to the National Socialist Party, such as the Black Cross Führer and Führer Hell Saturn, in case "Führer" wasn't enough indication that he's evil.note The actual title they both used was "Soutou", which roughly means "dictator" or "supreme leader." It was introduced as an equivalent for Hitler's title of "Führer" and is translated as such to maintain its connotation to the Nazi regime. | |

The Doctor Who story "Silver Nemesis" adds a bunch of neo-Nazis led by an elderly Third Reich fugitive (an overt No Celebrities Were Harmed for Martin Bormann) to a 1980s-set story which already has two other villainous factions, for no particular reason. This was the only 1963-89 Doctor Who story to feature actual Nazis, although a lot of stories feature evil alien cultures with a suspicious resemblance. | |
