Some people see a top 5 and grunt in disgust, others enjoy reading them...so I figured I would give you all something you least expected...try not to take it too seriously.
Sure he was insane, but aren't we all to some degree and sure he was responsible for the murder of millions upon millions of generations, but lets be honest with ourselves, if we came into that much power...we would kill people too.
Well, maybe not but lets not kid ourselves. When we get together we enjoy the lightly racist joke here and there. Even if you are not Caucasian, you would enjoy jokes being made about Caucasians (Most black comedians have proved this). Hilter just decided to take the humor of racism and turn it into genocide. No biggy.
So with that being said, lets have a look at the things he has done to make your life better.
While he may not be the inspirational leader you would right an essay about in Highschool, he was classic example of how somebody who was brought into a world with nothing can become the most feared and followed man in existence, which is more than what I can say for myself.
After failing art school Hitler said 'Fuck it, if I can't put a dint in the art world, I'll just put a massive dint in the world itself'...and he wasn't joking. After failing Multimedia, I said 'Fuck it, if I can't put a dint in the art world, I'll just sit at home and write about how Hitler is better than me'...Inspirational.
...who wrote a best selling book
Wow, big deal. Thousands of people write books that sell millions of copies every year. While this is true, keep in mind that most of the time books sell because the content is creative (in the eyes of the target audeince of course). Hitler sold books because he was Hitler. People didn't give a fuck about what was written in it. Well...maybe some Neo Nazi morons out there hold it close to their heart while singing the American National Anthem (Which never made sense to me considering Hitler was German) but none of this matters in terms of writing talent. Which Hitler had none of.
People read what he wrote because they hated him...so in turn, he was the first troll on a global scale. And while you may think that having trolls existing does not benefit us as a whole, you forget that without them (as I have stated before), we cannot know what is shit, and therefore we cannot recognize what is true greatness.
If you were (or are) ugly as a child, fear not! Hitler proved one thing above all else (aside from Vegetarians being fucking crazy), which was that even if you are cute as a kid, you can still turn out fucked as an adult. Both mentally and physically. So when your friends come up to you and show you their precious month old spawn and wait for you to compliment it, all you need to say is, 'Hitler was cute as a baby too'.
I hope that from reading this, your self esteem issues will be shot out of this world, the same way Hitler's existence was when he put a barrel and a cyanide capsule between his teeth.
Have you even read his Wikipedia page? I got half way through it and thought to myself that it's an effort to read all the shit, let alone do it. Seriously, the guy never stopped. Which tells me one thing: The less you do, the better off you will be.
Hitler is a prime example of this, he seemed to keep moving like clockwork and what did it get him in the end? A failed campaign that is now frowned upon in every society around the world. It just goes to show you that you just need to take your time, relax and let the important things take care of themselves. The way America did during the war before Pearl Harbor got attacked.
He may have fixed the German economy back in the mid 1940's but we are in 2009 now and although the global economy is still fucked (Cheers America), the influence Hitler has had on our modern economy is only positive.
We have countless World War II video games, films, documentaries, television series (Which are ironically mostly owned by Jewish Investors), books, papers, testimonials and memorabilia. Not to mention the circulation of money generated from war profiteering which started with World War II and is probably now the digital dollar you use to pay for games online because you can't be fucked walking down to the store to use hard currency...fuck, now I am preaching aren't I?
But do you or I care in the long run? Of course not. After writing this I'm going to go back to playing Call Of Duty and not giving a shit about the lives that were sacrificed so that I could be entertained by imitating their actions on a controller while having a chuckle.
Well, with that being said. I will leave you with a classic comedy piece which had me in fits of laughter when I first saw it:
Note: While I realize that even human beings with the most outrageous sense of humor could still be offended with my writing here, try not to take it too seriously. I stated 5 reasons he bettered your life because I couldn't be fucked writing 10,000 ways he worsened it. But who cares anyway, the fucker is dead and anybody who still follows his fascism needs to go out the way he did.
Tune in next week for: The 5 (or 10) video characters most likely to rape something
P.S - I would have noted that he created Volkswagen...but as I said, this is about how he bettered our lives
Y'know, I honestly read that as Why Hitler Was Better At Life Than You and I got thinking 'yeah, despite being an all-round-hideous-monster fucktard, he did run a country for a while...unlike me'.
I was going to do that, but as Puppy Licks mentioned, Sterling already beat me to it with Pokemon to molest...which is much better if you think about it.

Y'know, I honestly read that as Why Hitler Was Better At Life Than You and I got thinking 'yeah, despite being an all-round-hideous-monster fucktard, he did run a country for a while...unlike me'.
The prick.
Damn, you are right. I am going to fix the title! Give me a sec.
Bah, I got half way through editing the title picture and said 'fuck it'
Best list ever.
This was highly amusing in a twisted sort of way :P
Did you see that IGN has a "Top 25 Video Game Consoles Ever" feature??
*facepalm*
@Celicacrazed...
You're not serious are you?!
...Fucken...LOL
@Celicacrazed
I just watched it, and all I was thinking the whole time was how hot the host was
Hitler is born to be alive.
*checks site again*
I didn't even realize they had a video feature as well!? Haha and yeah Chobot is a hottie :D
Yeah, as Celica said... amusing in a rather twisted way! :)
You can't forget the most important contribution : The Hitler 'stache!
@Naim Master
He stole that from Chaplin, and ruined it for the rest of us.
@ace of knaces
Yeah, but Chaplin made it look stupid, Hitler made it look stupid and scary !
At least he got the trains running on time...in one direction anyway...
Er...sorry 'bout that.
@ NAIM MASTER: "Yeah, but Chaplin made it look stupid..." Stupid cool?
Nice write up. I lol'd.
One sentence I did not get was the "Even if you are not Caucasian..." line. Is that to imply that only Caucasians can be racist! Surely you jest!
/jk
I love that pic for #1.
Anyway, not bad.
I don't think his art was all that bad. Too bad he didn't find success with that.
"I would have noted that he created Volkswagen...but as I said, this is about how he bettered our lives"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHH!!!!
@puppylicks
lol
hey, where is the Top 10 Animals to Molest ? :( you LIE!!!
Bluki,
I was going to do that, but as Puppy Licks mentioned, Sterling already beat me to it with Pokemon to molest...which is much better if you think about it.
I will work on something specially for you :O)
