HISTORY'S FUNNIEST NAZIS

Okay, yes, the Nazis also committed some of the greatest crimes against humanity in history, and are therefore some of history's greatest monsters. In no way do I want to diminish that. The Nazis were, and are, horrible, evil, murderous people.

But, in addition to being history's greatest monsters, Nazis are also history's biggest clowns. Especially years after World War II. They're so humorless. They wear outlandish clothing. They goose-step. They espouse stupid philosophy. They're like Satanists in that it's really difficult to take them seriously in this day and age. It's like, "You're a Nazi? Really? Seriously? Well, okay. (snicker, snicker)."

Tomorrow, I'm posting my review of the Star Trek Nazi episode, something of an exercise in humor itself. I figured that tonight, I'd make a warmup post featuring history's funniest Nazis.

Here goes.

Colonel Klink, from TV's Hogan's Heroes



Sergeant Schultz, also from Hogan's Heroes



General Burkhalter, again from Hogan's Heroes



...and one more from Hogan's Heroes, Major Hochstetter



Major Toht, from Raiders of the Lost Ark



John Cleese playing Hitler in a Monty Python episode



Franz Liebkind from Mel Brooks' The Producers

There you have it. History's funniest Nazis. Really, the best thing you can do with a Nazi is to point and laugh. They're idiots. Idiots who think they're better than you. And that's pretty funny, isn't it?
