1It would be almost impossible to list all of the funny moments in this film:
2
3* As the Russian trade delegation makes to leave, Peripetchikoff explains they're in a hurry to an emergency meeting with the Swiss Trade Delegation. They'd received twenty car-loads of cheese from the Swiss but found the cheese unacceptable, why? The cheese was full of ''holes''.
4* [=MacNamara=] and Otto's first meeting.
5--> '''Otto''': I spit on your money. I spit on Fort Knox! I spit on Wall Street!
6--> '''[=MacNamara=]''': Unsanitary little jerk, isn't he?
7** And let's not forget the finale...
8---> '''Otto''': We will take over West Berlin. We will take over Western Europe. We will bury you!
9---> '''[=MacNamara=]''': Do me a favor. Bury us but don't ''marry'' us.
10* Otto's idea of a "magnificent" apartment? One that's only a short walk from the bathroom.
11* The chase scene, when the Russian trade delegation guys are after Mac and the gang. [[TheAllegedCar Then their car keeps falling apart piece by piece.]]
12* When poor Schlemmer has returned from East Berlin [[spoiler: still wearing Ingeborg's dress]].
13--> '''Schlemmer''': I'm sorry I didn't shave this morning, I had difficulty getting out of the girdle.
14* Count von Droste-Schattenburg proudly declaring that his family is not only one of the oldest in Europe, it is one of the most inbred.
15* When Otto is about to have ''another'' break-down, and [[CloudcuckooLander Scarlet]] is the ''practical'' one.
16--> '''Otto''': I will not have my son grow up to be a capitalist!
17--> '''Scarlet''': When he's 18 he can decide for himself, whether he wants to be a capitalist or a rich communist.
18* When Otto bursts into Mac's office wearing boxers, shirt, tie and a morning coat and tells Mac about his "big plans".
19--> '''Otto''': You know, I think I'm going to like this job!
20--> '''[=MacNamara=]''': It's about time you started cooperating.
21--> '''Otto''': You know what the first thing is I'm going to do? I'm going to lead the workers down there in revolt!
22--> '''[=MacNamara=]''': Put your pants on, Spartacus!
23* When Otto's about to have a ''complete'' mental break-down, and Peripetchikoff is no help at all.
24--> '''Otto''': Is everybody in this world corrupt?!
25--> '''Peripetchikoff''': I don't know everybody.
26** [=MacNamara=] tries putting things into perspective, that doesn't help Otto feel any better.
27---> '''[=MacNamara=]''': Look at it this way kid. Any civilization that can produce [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking the Taj Mahal, William Shakespeare, and Stripe toothpaste]] can't be all bad.
28* This exchange:
29-->'''[=MacNamara=]''': You've defected?
30-->'''Peripetchikoff''': Is old Russian proverb; Go west, young man.
31* The Pepsi bottle gag at the end.
32--> '''[=MacNamara=]''': (''looking furious'') Schlemmer!
