Oh god, you're not from PoE, are you. Look, this is black comedy. It's how normal human beings deal with terror. The same basic plot in "Failsafe" makes us all sad and tearful and stressed, but this is catharsis.
Besides, you'll learn more about an era from its satire than its documentaries.
You mean you don't already own this on DVD or at least have an .avi file of it somewhere??
Back in the day when I worked in a movie theatre, we did a big revival festival and this was one of the movies we had. I had enough sway there as a projectionist to be able to do private screenings by invitation after the theatre closed for the night (alcohol and other recreational substances were an optional part of the experience as long as you cleaned up after yourself to the point where there was no trace the next day) which resulted in everybody boozed up and/or stoned and singing along at the end of the movie. Ah, memories...
