    He could tattoo “NAZI” on his forehead and some people will tell you that’s actually “IZVN” upside down

      “Well what about that tattoo on your chest? Doesn’t it say ‘Die Bart, die’?”

      “No! That’s German for 'The Bart. The.”

          Pretty sure I already watched that but can’t remember what it is. There’s a jumping thing close to it? Don’t know why I’m thinking the protagonist jumped from one side of the fence to the other using that jumpy thing (don’t remember the name of the jumpy)

            Community S02E07 - Aerodynamics of Gender. Troy and Jeff find a secret trampoline owned by Joshua (who is revealed as a racist at the end of the episode). Pierce discovers it and insists he gets “double bounces” which is one of Joshua’s only rules and in doing so gets flung over the garden wall and breaks both his legs.

            As mentioned elsewhere it’s a line from a TV show. I’m not going to try to determine what type of humor it is, but the joke is that an incredibly charismatic psychopath has been trying to kill Bart, the local troublemaking kid. The psycho is claiming it’s all a misunderstanding and the kid points to him having a tattoo that says “die bart die”, which is explained as being German for “the bart the” (and yes part of the joke is likely that the German is incorrect). The cops, who the show routinely depicts as incredibly stupid, believe it and add the line “nobody who speaks German could be evil” which is meant to be a further joke about how stupid these cops are.

            It’s a reference from The Simpsons. Sarcasm is a good explanation, though it’s probably more accurately satire

              I’d call it irony. Satire is usually a more pointed critique- it would be referencing a specific situation or trope or person it wanted to lambast. So maybe a bit of satire about the US prison system? Honestly I don’t think they were trying to go there though.

                The word irony has too much confusion attached to it nowadays, in part thanks to Alanis Morissette. I would say it was meant tongue in cheek.

            for the longest time I thought that line had way more to it, but nope, that’s it. it’s just a reference to Hitler.

            I only thought there was more to it because classic Simpsons always had fantastic writing with multiple underlying references.

              Sometimes a pie in the face gag is just a pie in the face gag.

              But yeah, the joke is that people in charge of the prison system are so clueless on the nature of evil that they cannot differentiate between good and bad behavior.
