for a number of reasons count dacula was not very funny - he relied on a dog instead of a cat (which are inherently more beautiful and ridiculous pets).. and the "gas the jews" instruction altho epitomizing the most outrageous thing anyone could say, did not work well cos he failed to hook it into any other live character on the screen..
of course all of that is now entirely irrelevant cos of the alice in wonderland response where now exploring this taboo has apparently been made totally illegal by anyone who is not already a well known celebrity or does not have access to a to well payed lawyer.. we now live in a very scary world where it is illegal to joke about gassing the jews while at the same time the tyrant who commits almost identical crimes in north Korea has the red carpet laid out for him .. and (as i am always pointing out) many people are celebrating the birth of a royal who is only so special because he is descended from the man who gave a knighthood to the UK civil servant who voluntarily handed jews over to the Nazis during the holocaust..
