1	!'''This section is for the Creator/WoodyAllen film {{Film/Sleeper}}:'''

3	* Much of the humor is how hilariously shoddy the future looks. This isn't a case of the effects not standing the test of time; Allen ''specifically'' wanted everything to look ''really'' [[StylisticSuck tacky]], to rub in how the oppressive government has screwed everything up.
4	* When Creator/WoodyAllen and a guard fight with enormous-sized food including a [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything gigantic banana]], and a super-sized strawberry.
5	** Not to mention slipping on the gigantic banana peel!
6	* A gay couple give Allen a balloon suit to escape in, but it gets a hole in it, sending him speeding across a swamp!
7	* The cops and their weapon to catch the hero just keeps failing!
8	** First, the weapon blows up; later, it's the plunger that blows up. [[spoiler:And finally, the cops' transport van explodes!]]
9	* When they show Miles a picture of UsefulNotes/RichardNixon, he glumly admits that it's of the President when he was frozen.
10	-->“Whenever the president went on foreign leave, the White House staff counted the silverware.”
11	** Also an Awesome Moment for Allen; remember, in 1973 ''Nixon was still President.'' And do remember that the jerk was on '''[[RedScare HUAC]]!''' Allen risked his career there.
12	* It wasn't enough for Allen to parody HAL-9000; he actually brought in Douglas Rain himself to monologue about growing a new leader out of the old one's nose in the same velvet monotone.
