I think it is simply dated now. It was hilarious at the time. There is not a seriousness about a total nuclear threat anymore as there was. We have the "dirty bomb" worry somewhere in the back of our heads, but at the time of this release there were fallout shelters ready everywhere and school children were drilled on emergency procedures. Public warning systems in the form of massive horns were even periodically tested in many places. Truely creepy stuff, and the perfect setting for a black comedy.
