* FifteenMinutesOfFame: Stanley wishes to become a pop star; George delivers on his request, but then immediately makes him yesterday's news with his own new pop act.


Added DiffLines:

* GodTest: Stanley wishes for a Frobisher's ice lolly as proof of George's claims. Rather than conjuring one, George just takes him to a candy store and buys one (and makes Stanley pay for it). Stanley is, not surprisingly, unconvinced.

'''''Bedazzled''''' is a 1967 film vehicle for Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.

Moore plays Stanley Moon, a short-order cook at Wimpy's who is hopelessly in love with waitress Margaret (Eleanor Bron) but too shy to tell her how he feels. Depressed over his lot in life, he attempts to hang himself. When his attempt fails, in steps Satan, who goes by the unlikely name of George Spiggott and is played by Peter Cook. George offers Stanley seven wishes in return for his soul, and in his desperation, Stanley sees no reason to refuse... after all, WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong?

A remake of the film was [[Film/{{Bedazzled 2000}} released in 2000]].

!!This 1967 film contains examples of:

* AffablyEvil: George puts Stanley up in his mansion and plys him with food, drink and Lillian Lust. His hospitality makes it all too easy for Stanley to forget how cruel and manipulative he really is.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Aversion.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor
* BlowingARaspberry
* CampGay: Envy.
* TheChessmaster: George knows what his victims will wish for and is able to identify the flaw in every one of Stanley's plans.
** "You should have specified the sex."
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: ''Everything'' George inflicts on Stanley.
* CoversAlwaysLie: This cover makes it look like Rachel Welch as Lust is one of the core characters. Although Lust does have a pivotal role in the film, she's only on for about seven minutes.
* TheDevilIsALoser: Possibly the most literal example ever.
* DistractedByTheLuxury: Subverted in the rich man wish, where Margaret is running around with another guy, and Stanley buys Margaret a [[PrettyInMink mink coat]]. She enjoys how it feels, but then just takes it off to run around some more.
* EvilIsPetty: "Your pranks are so miserable." George's petty schemes include posing as a door-to-door salesman and phoning people while they're in the bath.
* FatGirl: Gluttony.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: During Stanley's third wish, a pair of female breasts are shown in the bathroom mirror.
* JackassGenie: George Spiggott ''embodies'' this trope.
* ManipulativeBastard: George's entire schtick is playing with Stanley's feelings for Margaret.
* NaughtyNuns: "And I love you too, Sister Luna."
* SevenDeadlySins: All seven are introduced. Raquel Welch is Lillian Lust.
* StuntCasting: Raquel Welch, who gets star billing even though she's in a supporting role.
* VillainousBreakdown: George is in a wager with God: he has been promised that if he claims a billion souls before God does, he will be allowed back into Heaven. He achieves this easily but [[JerkassGod God still finds a way to deny George entry to Heaven, and sends him back to square one.]]
