I've watched it twice, and I only found it funny in spurts.
"They're trying to steal our precious bodily fluids." |

You really had to grow up in the 50s and 60s like I did to appreciate much of the humor of "Strangelove." But every character in the film had a real-life counterpart, and that's why it was so scary and so funny at the same time. |

Being something of a history buff, I had had no problem getting the satire in the film...I just found that most of the humor fell flat. |

The problem is that history didn't really deal with the attitudes of people back then. In fact, history has debunked a lot of misconceptions we had at the time which is why the jokes would be so incomprehensible. |

That's the problem with politcally based satire, a few years down the road it just becomes more and more irrelevant. And the thing is that lots of politicians these days seem to be making fools of themselves so well that making fun of them is just an excerisize in redundancy. |
