Although stated in shrill German and with scratchy, poor audio quality the lost comedy routines of the famed Nazi propagandist are finally being made available on Itunes. "Goebbels was hilarious," said Harvard Sociologist Martin Goldberg. "Sure, he was a monster and pure evil but at the same time really quite funny. Professor Goldberg was one of the first serious thinkers in the US to analyze the lost tapes, pointing out that such routines he performed at the Reichstag such as his "No You Didn't" routine also known in German as--"Nein Loch FeidenHozen!" The routine predates such familiar jargon using ebonics and improper English usually involving a distraght Negro woman upset at some sort of undesirable circumstance. "We've seen this time and time again," continued Professor Goldberg. "But now we know it's origin. Goebbels Nein Loch FeidenHozen routine predates Negro comedians by more than a half century!" he exclaimed. "Usually Goebbels would warm up the crowd," continued Professor Goldberg, "by proclaiming how much he hated the jews etc. Then he went for the juggular. They were putty in his hands. The no you didn't material was completely improv before there was such a word. But his material did not invlove the day to day like a boyfriend cheating or a mishandled food order, which is portrayed on Negro situation comedies or sitcoms as particulary irksome. Goebbels No You Didn't bit revolved around states rights and property ownership. I can't do it justice," blushed Professor Goldberg. "Goebbels was a master of timing along the lines of a Bill Cosby or Martin and Lewis." The lost recordings with accompanying photos and histories are currently on display at the Holocost Museum in Washington D.C. Also of note: some Goebbels material has recently been remastered and is available on compact disc as well as on Itunes as a download --"Berlin or Bust: The Comic Stylings of Joseph Goebbels. Rhino Records is also planning a Christmas release of a box set---"Hey Joe" The complete collected speeches and comic masterworks of Joseph Goebbels.
