Woody Allen made some damn funny movies. He laced social observations and critiques with one-liners and other jokes inspired by guys like Groucho Marx. I remember one from the movie. Alvie (Allen) is giving a standup routine at a college and he says, "I was thrown out of N.Y.U. my freshman year for cheating on my metaphysics final, you know. I looked within the soul of the boy sitting next to me."
That's funny because it's unlikely that someone would take a metaphysics "exam," and, if you did, that's how you might cheat.
