I laugh at Fritz too, I laugh at the overwrought stagey moments and the way Colin Clive behaves like a petulant man-child.
No way I'll ever laugh at the Monster, though. Karloff owns my heart. Also, I know that this scene is madly melodramatic, but I've always held that no one is ever allowed to parody or laugh at the blind hermit's making friends with the monster. That's sacred, everything else is fair game. (I had to skip through the parody scene in "Young Frankenstein.")
