Vince, I really appreciate your post. I hadn't thought of drawing the line between the two movies, but there's an irreverence that the two movies share that really serves to emphasize how great the U.S. and A. really can be, despite the wrongheadedness of some (many) of its people. Both movies celebrate the country's diversity while making sure to do some necessary deflating at the same time. And I too cannot get that indelible image, which is so specific, yet depends so much on the individual imagination to bring out its full comedic force, out of my mind-- when I heard "like sleeve of wizard," I laughed so hard I thought I was going to go blind, which would've been okay at the time, because I could have still heard and appreciated the vocal acrobatics Sacha's Baron Cohen's performance. Oscar, perhaps?
