 Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The popular television series The Simpsons contains several references to Dr. Strangelove.
Strangelove explains to the staff assembled in the American war room how the device is a natural extension to the Cold War strategem of mutually assured destruction as a deterrent to an actual nuclear exchange.
Strangelove takes passing shots at all sorts of Cold War attitudes, but focuses its satire on the theory of mutual assured destruction (MAD), in which each side is supposed to take comfort in the fact that a nuclear war would be a cataclysmic disaster.

 The Return of Dr. Strangelove
Michael Strangelove is a lecturer in the Department of Communication at the University of Ottawa.
Strangelove contends that the Internet breaks with the capitalist logic of commodification and that, while television produces a passive consumer audience, Internet audiences are more active, creative, and subversive.
"As Michael Strangelove argues, unlike the unidirectional control over its commodified signifiers and images that Mattel was accustomed to maintaining in mass culture, corporate capacity to maintain monopolies over the flow of symbols or control the meanings of their signs is severely compromised in digital contexts.

 The Kubrick Site: Brian Siano on 'Dr. Strangelove'
Strangelove is not without precedent; in fact the film is one of the best examples of a brand of humor designated, by Tony Hendra, as "Boomer humor." It's a vein of humor that takes a strong antiestablishment stance, frequently with a very dark or "black" tone, and usually raises very unsetling questions about modern life.
Strangelove -- a former Nazi, now a cripple in a wheelchair coldly calculating the effects of nuclear war-- explains that such a device is certainly plausible, and perhaps even desirable as the ultimate deterrent.
Strangelove is such a potent character -- twisted, coldly rational, his mechanical arm likely to spring into a Seig Heil at the slightest provocation -- that many people have speculated on who Strangelove might be "based" on.

Sellers' portrayal of the title character, Dr. Strangelove, whose full name, according to the source novel, was Dr. MerkwŸrdigichliebe, bore some similarities to former Secretary of State Dr. Henry Kissinger which were noted at the time.
This was Sellers at his best, inventing bits of comic action that added immeasurably to the role, such as the bit of Dr. Strangelove's uncontrollable, homicidal hand.
Strangelove (1964), director Stanley Kubrick's brilliant satire on sex, politics, nuclear Armageddon and the military industrial complex, is also a cornucopia of outrageous comic performances, not the least of which were the three roles portrayed by Peter Sellers.

 Amazon.com: DVD: Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (Special Edition) (1964)
Strangelove is a perfect spoof of political and military insanity, beginning when General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden), a maniacal warrior obsessed with "the purity of precious bodily fluids," mounts his singular campaign against Communism by ordering a squadron of B-52 bombers to attack the Soviet Union.
There are so many things to enjoy about Dr. Strangelove, but one of its most notable themes is male virility.
Yet, for all that, "Strangelove" was embraced by the American public--a sign that long-existing distinctions between underground and commercial moviemaking were disappearing, and also that the public was growing more acceptant of ideas and images once thought of as exclusively for the avant garde.

 Dr. Strangelove is a black and sarcastic comedy about a commander of a U.S. Air Force Base, General Jack D. Ripper, who diverts his B-52 bombers from airborne alert to an attack on the Soviet Union with nuclear weapons.
One theme of this paper is that many of the fears raised by Peter George and in Dr. Strangelove were remarkably close to reality.

 Movie Database - [TV Guide Online]
Expertly directed by Kubrick, who deftly intercuts the events at Burpelson with the War Room conference and the action on Kong's B-52, DR. STRANGELOVE is the ultimate black comedy, one that makes unthinkable horror unbearably funny.
STRANGELOVE also contains some truly remarkable comic performances, especially from Sellers in his triple role and Hayden as the mad general, and genuinely priceless dialogue ("Gentlemen, you can't fight in here.
The film is a model of barely controlled hysteria in which the absurdity of hypermasculine Cold War posturing becomes devastatingly funny--and at the same time nightmarishly frightening in its accuracy.

 Rumsfeld's Dr. Strangelove - Keith Payne says 7,000 warheads aren't enough. By Fred Kaplan

Strangelove, put it, "I'm not saying we won't get our hair mussed up, but 10-20 million tops, depending on the breaks.")
For 20 years before he came to the Pentagon at the start of the George W. Bush administration, Payne was at the forefront of a small group of think-tank mavens—outspoken but, at the time, marginal—who argued not only that nuclear weapons were usable, but that nuclear war was, in a meaningful sense, winnable.

 Dr Strangelove
While Strangelove is clearly centered on the concerns of the time it was produced the black humor still holds today, perhaps considering the anxiety over terrorism so prevalent today, even more so.
As we watch the ex-Nazi Strangelove reverts back the ‘glory days’ of the Reich we see that America is willing to embrace old enemies to fight new ones.
Sellers moves between three vastly different roles with grace and ease, from the ineffectual President to the obsessed doctor and the dedicate, sane Captain, Sellers makes us forget that its him in each role and accept the characters for the bizarre people the are.

In his film "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb," Stanley Kubrick, to some a "god" in the pantheon of cinema, made us laugh out loud at thermonuclear war.
But as "Dr. Strangelove" evolved into a satire, Zogg's voice of reason shrank to essentially a single question: "Sir, do you think this might be some kind of loyalty test or security check?"
