It's often joked about that Denise Richards' nuclear physicist was only named Christmas Jones so the writers could have Bond drop that infamous closing line, "I thought Christmas only comes once a year." And it's probably true.

While many still groan at the punny, innuendo-laden line, it's clearly shot through with a certain self-awareness and feels about one step away from having Brosnan literally turn to the camera and wink.

Much like the famed "I think he's attempting re-entry" line from Moonraker, it's surprisingly vulgar even for the standards of the Bond series. However, it brings with it a cheekiness that also makes it hard not to laugh at (even if you might be embarrassed at yourself for doing so).
