Comedian Strums Ye’s ‘Heil Hitler,' Goes Viral...Gets Fired Faster Than You Can Say 'Sensitive Content'

In a world where humor is apparently a crime punishable by unemployment and social exile, meet Toad, the latest victim of cancel culture’s relentless war on anything remotely funny.

Toad, a computer programmer, comedian, and co-host of the "Tower Gang" podcast, thought he’d share a ukulele cover of Kanye "Ye" West’s eyebrow-raising track "Heil Hitler" on X.

Big mistake.

The video racked up nearly nine million views overnight—only to be slapped with a "sensitive content" warning, banned from reposting, and labeled with a broken link.

Watch Toad's banned performance here.

Because nothing screams "freedom" and "free speech absolutism" like censoring a ukulele jam, right?

Toad’s employer, clearly lacking a spine or a sense of humor, promptly fired him after a decade of service, proving once again that in 2025, you can’t even strum a tune without the woke mob coming for your livelihood.

Toad, a self-described "prolific ukulele artist" and former Libertarian Party presidential candidate, shared his frustration in a video on X.

"I was doing what I usually do, having fun messing around… [the video] unexpectedly completely blew up to about 18 million views,” he said, though the actual count is closer to nine million.

The woke mob "started coming out of the woodwork… threatening to cancel me, threatening to remove my livelihood," he continued. And that is exactly what they’re trying to do… my employer immediately fired me."

Toad called the ordeal a stark example of "being canceled over saying something that you’re not allowed to say," and announced a fundraiser to help him relocate from "this God forsaken hellhole in Massachusetts" and cover legal expenses.

His co-host, Clint Russell, quickly stepped in, launching a GiveSendGo campaign that has raised over $8,000 at the time of this publication.

Russell didn’t mince words in his plea for support.

"As a consequence of his virality… a man who had a 10-year career as a computer programmer was shown, cancel culture is alive and well," Russell said on X.

He pledged $500 of his own money to his "piece of shit friend, Toad," adding, "If you would like to contribute so that he can continue to say racist and retarded shit on the internet and get away with it, this is your opportunity to do so."

The fundraiser’s description paints Toad as "an autistic man with a big heart, a gentle spirit, and a deep love for his ukulele," who was fired simply for being "unapologetically himself."

The song at the center of the controversy, Ye’s “Heil Hitler,” has been making waves since its release last week.

Featuring the chorus "All my niggas Nazis, nigga, heil Hitler," the track is the latest in Ye’s string of outbursts warning against powerful Jewish networks, drawing both condemnation and support.

Joe Rogan, on a recent episode of the "Joe Rogan Experience" with comedian Tom Segura, called the song "kind of catchy" while acknowledging, "I don’t think antisemitism is good."

Yet he went on to defend its message, saying, "If you ban it, then people want to hear it more… it kind of supports what he says, which is that there’s this concerted effort, if you talk about Jewish people, that they’re going to remove you from everything."

Rogan also referenced Ye’s diamond-encrusted swastika necklace, joking, "You know a Jew sold him that," and adding, "The Jewish have been controlling diamonds for a long time."

Ye’s antics aren’t new. Earlier this year, he sold swastika T-shirts on his website, further fueling outrage.

The "Heil Hitler" track has only deepened the divide, with some conspiracy-minded figures rallying behind Ye while others decry the normalization of antisemitic rhetoric.

So here we are, folks—Toad’s out of a job, Ye’s still stirring the pot, and the internet’s a battlefield where ukuleles are apparently weapons of mass destruction.

If this is the future of free expression, maybe we should all just stick to humming in the shower—unless, of course, the woke police start bugging our bathrooms next.

Stay tuned for the inevitable sequel: “Toad Strikes Back with a Kazoo.”
