I haven't seen this movie and I don't remember him being in it, but the thought of him playing Hitler (if it's the "Hitler" I'm thinking of) just cracks me up to no end.
shareGottfried's colorful cameo as a raving neurotic Hitler ("I like to play air guitar!") is an absolute hoot and one of the comic highlights of the whole movie. Moreover, the brief appearances by both a pre-stardom Ben Stiller and his dad Jerry Stiller at the diner are likewise quite funny as well.

Don't forget his mother, Anne Meara, as the diner waitress — and his sister, Amy Stiller, as Cleopatra. (And that was Ben doing double-duty as both the cook at the diner and later as Attila the Hun.)
The whole family seems to have the gift of comedy.

Atilla is in the same scene with Hitler and Cleopatra, sitting at the table and listening to Hitler's rant. They both can't take it any more and get up and leave.
shareI mean, Atilla and Cleopatra both can't take Hitler's rant anymore and get up and leave.
shareWOW It has been so long since I have seen this movie that I have forgotten about Gilbert Gottfried having a small part in this movie! I miss seeing him host USA UP ALL NIGHT like he once did back in the day.

Seems like he was just ad libbing that nonsense he was spewing out.
Damn, I'm good.
