I never really understood the saying "With friends like these, who need enemies?"
The meaning (my friends are as good as enemies) is clear enough, but honestly I think my friends are rather good and I still have no requirement for enemies at all.

You could shorten it to "Who need enemies?" and it would be equally valid.

I've always seen it as "With 'friends' like these, who needs enemies?" - adding the quote marks around friends emphasizes the point that they're not good friends at all, the way you can't get across in text.

Is it sad that I am only just now getting the joke from Finding Nemo?

Though, let's be honest, I still probably don't get it.

'With friends like these, who needs enemies' ie. My friends are so terrible, I don't need anyone else to fulfil the role of 'enemy' cause I've brought my own! :)

@MacAndy That's actually not a typo. It's a joke off of the saying that's been around forever.
