My Hero

This is a dark and ironic one-liner. The 'hero' is someone who killed one of history's most infamous villains, a character whose death is widely considered to be a good thing. The humor comes from the very unexpected twist that the 'hero' is in fact a universally accepted bad guy.

• Someone at my school the other day said that whoever killed Hitler was a hero. Who's going to tell him?
• You know who deserves a medal? The guy who killed Hitler.
• Hitler is a national hero, he killed Hitler... Oh wait.
• "Hitler wasn't such a bad guy, after all, he did kill Hitler."
