By the late 1940s, the once impressive Universal horror films had become marred by constant regular resurrections of casts and scripts. This film resembles that more than anything else.
It reminds me of a couple of occasions where this was more successfully played for laughs. "The Simpsons" spoofed this whole mini-canon well by having Blacula and Blackenstein kill a "honky" who insulted them by wanting to turn their roller skating rink into a hockey rink. ("You mean HONKY rink!"). And then suggested that there was an option for a story the earlier filmmakers hadn't considered- "The Blunchback Of Bloter Blame"! (Black Quasimodo would have been the more likely title, though.)
These kinds of films were also spoofed very well several times on the sketch comedy show "Mad TV" when Keegan Michael Key and Jordan Peele were cast members. Naturally, there was a Black Frankenstein involved but they gave him a better name- "Funkenstein"!
Fun movie lol
