Aksel’s Hitler filter

Aksel brings in an unopened packet of cigarettes.

He takes a moment to point out the irony that something that will kill you can still make you feel good, but then reveals that his prize actually has nothing to do with the cigarettes themselves. Instead, Aksel draws attention to the plastic wrap covering the packet, which he refers to as a “Hitler filter”.

He then quotes the beginning of one of Hitler’s speeches – with the caveat that no-one asks why he knows the words – and points out that his voice doesn’t sound at all cool while doing so. He then repeats the start of the speech while holding the plastic wrap against his lips, which causes his voice to take on the grainy, buzzy qualities of old recordings of Adolf Hitler.

Atle awards Aksel second place.
