A Downfall-style parody in which Hitler rages about functional programming concepts such as monads and Haskell. It runs about four minutes.

Shared purely for laughs in functional programming and Haskell threads, as a well-loved programmer meme.

Anytime I see Monads or Monoids in the title I am obligated to share one of the greatest YouTube videos of all time :) ▶ this video

They come up because people who don't understand them think they are important and people who do understand them want other people to know. Also, speaking of memes: ▶ this video

I don't know why but the first thing that came into my mind was this video. Btw I love Haskell. ▶ this video

I recommend not watching this and searching for the FP / Haskell version of this. It is really funny and much more clever imo Edit: ▶ this video

Whenever I see Milewski’s name I immediately think of this video: ▶ this video It’s a shame I don’t know that many people who’d enjoy it as much as I do!
