Funny / One, Two, Three

It would be almost impossible to list all of the funny moments in this film:

• 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.
• MacNamara and Otto's first meeting.
  Otto: I spit on your money. I spit on Fort Knox! I spit on Wall Street!
  MacNamara: Unsanitary little jerk, isn't he?
  • And let's not forget the finale...
    Otto: We will take over West Berlin. We will take over Western Europe. We will bury you!
    MacNamara: Do me a favor. Bury us but don't marry us.
• Otto's idea of a "magnificent" apartment? One that's only a short walk from the bathroom.
• The chase scene, when the Russian trade delegation guys are after Mac and the gang. Then their car keeps falling apart piece by piece.
• When poor Schlemmer has returned from East Berlin still wearing Ingeborg's dress.
  Schlemmer: I'm sorry I didn't shave this morning, I had difficulty getting out of the girdle.
• 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.
• When Otto is about to have another break-down, and Scarlet is the practical one.
  Otto: I will not have my son grow up to be a capitalist!
  Scarlet: When he's 18 he can decide for himself, whether he wants to be a capitalist or a rich communist.
• When Otto bursts into Mac's office wearing boxers, shirt, tie and a morning coat and tells Mac about his "big plans".
  Otto: You know, I think I'm going to like this job!
  MacNamara: It's about time you started cooperating.
  Otto: You know what the first thing is I'm going to do? I'm going to lead the workers down there in revolt!
  MacNamara: Put your pants on, Spartacus!
• When Otto's about to have a complete mental break-down, and Peripetchikoff is no help at all.
  Otto: Is everybody in this world corrupt?!
  Peripetchikoff: I don't know everybody.
  • MacNamara tries putting things into perspective, that doesn't help Otto feel any better.
    MacNamara: Look at it this way kid. Any civilization that can produce the Taj Mahal, William Shakespeare, and Stripe toothpaste can't be all bad.
• This exchange:
  MacNamara: You've defected?
  Peripetchikoff: Is old Russian proverb; Go west, young man.
• The Pepsi bottle gag at the end.
  MacNamara: (looking furious) Schlemmer!
