The perfect villain

Watching Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade recently, I came to a realization... Nazis really are the perfect villains. They're brutal, hold crazy beliefs and are completely unlikeable (I mean think about the whole Jew thing).

Sure they're often good looking people -- you really can't go wrong with blond hair and blue
eyes -- but they're intolerant of pretty much everyone, stupid and completely evil. They also have ridiculous accents and clothes. And the way they goosestep is just plain silly.

It's enjoyable to see Indiana Jones kick so much Nazi ass and no matter how much abuse they take you never feel sorry for them, because you can't really relate to people who oppressed so many while following a short, angry man with a booger of a moustache.
