Making Fun of Der Fuhrer

Gary North - January 22, 2013

"Adopph Hitler was not a laughing matter." Wrong! Humor can deflate tyrants. The old rule is true. In a debate, think of your opponent wearing a tutu.

In the USA, there was Spike Jones' The Fuhrer's Face. This song is one of my earliest memories.

Then there was this 1942 British film shot in newsreel style. The kicker: Doing the Lambeth Walk.

Bugs Bunny got into the act in 1945. The great Mel Blanc, who was Jewish, saw his opportunity. About 3 minutes in, he draws blood.
