YMMV: The American President
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: In January 2012, Australian cabinet minister Anthony Albanese plagiarised lines from this film in a speech slamming Tony Abbot, specifically the "We have serious problems to solve, and we need serious people to solve them," speech. This will undoubtedly affect the way many Australians see the film in future, as will the line, "Well I sure hope "the Sydney issue" refers in some way to a problem we're having with Australia, because if it's anything else-".
    • Also, a lot of lines become this for fans of The West Wing, in particular "Someday someone's going to have to explain to me the virtue of a proportional response."
