I feel like the whole movie was just an excuse to deliver that speech. As in, he came up with that speech and then said, “but I need another 90 minutes of gags in order to get people to watch this.”
In some weird way, it’s a movie I’ve gotten to appreciate more over the years.
On one level it’s kinda slapstick silly, but there is also some really biting satire of the sort: “you call me a dictator, but in the USA there are stealth dictatorships, like corporations and (corrupt) politicians.
This was hamhanded for the gag (still kinda funny) I remember when there was this huge build up to find out Homer's middle name, because his license just says Homer J. Simpson. Only to find out his middle name was Jay. So Homer J. Simpson is Homer Jay Simpson.

They do this in the Naked Gun movie too

His real name is Roger "Verbal" Kint, but maybe it is Keyser Söze.

Fred Armisen. I love that he can play just about any race under the sun and nobody questions it 😂

All names are made up, though.

How can you say something so bold yet so true!?

Isn't this film really racist?

It's very Aladeen.

"The Dictator" for those curious. Pretty funny but not the best.
TheWhiteBarry
Well that's one way to get your comment an Aladeemvote

I thought it was the Usual Suspects, but yep, it's the Dictator

The helicopter scene always cracks me up. 911 its the best.

Ok I gotta do a re-watch, I had no recollection of this scene.

The Di tator speech at the end was just perfection tho.

Seems like a perfectly reasonable process lol.

SBC has a disgustingly good track record of inadvertently exposing the hypocrisy in people and factions.

Much more clever. Always loved this gag.

The hamhandedness is why its funny.

I don’t know that anything can be held up against writing for seasons 3-9ish of The Simpsons. ‘Twas a golden age.

IMHO venture brothers is that good.

I disagree, but an argument could be made there.
