History Film / Bedazzled1967

* LazyBum: Sloth

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: George's red socks identify him in each of his alternate identities. When he [[spoiler: tries to return to Heaven at the end]], he swaps them for sandals.

* BlowingARaspberry: How Stanley ends each wish, but averted when his numerous raspberries do nothing to stop the final wish.

Moore plays Stanley Moon, a short-order cook at Wimpy's who is hopelessly in love with waitress Margaret (Creator/EleanorBron) 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?

* BlandNameProduct: While "Love Me" by Stanley and "Bedazzled" by George[=/=]Drimble Wedge appear for the all the world to be performances on the classic Creator/{{ITV}} music show ''Ready Steady Go!'', a sign indicates that ''Go Going!'' is the actual name of the show.

* BlowingARaspberry: How Stanley ends each wish.

* SevenDeadlySins: All seven are introduced. Raquel Welch is Lillian Lust.

* 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.

''Bedazzled'' is a 1967 film directed by Stanley Donen and written by and starring Creator/PeterCook and Creator/DudleyMoore.

* GodAndSatanAreBothJerks: George is certainly the living embodiment of EvilIsPetty and perfectly happy to damn a billion souls as long as it gets himself back Heaven. But God, for His part, was the one who agreed to the contest in the first place ([[spoiler: and then weasels out of it when George wins, causing George to declare that he's going to be ''even worse'' from now on]]), demands that George literally grovel in the dirt before Him while they talk, and just generally comes across as a self-obsessed tyrant.

* 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 [[GodAndSatanAreBothJerks God still finds a way to deny George entry to Heaven, and sends him back to square one.]]

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: During Stanley's third wish, a pair of female breasts are shown in the bathroom mirror. Also the film's final lines:
--> '''Satan''' (to God): "You're unbelievable!" (God laughs).

* LaserGuidedKarma: God finds a loophole that enables him to screw George over and deny him reentry into Heaven using ExactWords and a technicality... in exactly the same way that George had been screwing Stanley over with regard to his wishes.

* FatGirl: Gluttony.

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: George's red socks identify him in each of his alternate identities.

* BlackAndRedAndEvilAllOver: George's red socks identify him in each of his alternate identities.

* TakeThat: The absurd cloister is probably a veiled potshot at ''Series/TheFlyingNun''

* 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.

* CerebusCallback: "What about the [[ChekhovsGun Frobisher & Gleeson raspberry ice lolly]]?"
