Woody Allen interview 1971 PART 2/4

[@sallybites]

I can't handle the sheer perfection of this. God damn it I am almost in tears. "What I do is I plagiarize the best ideas from, um, text books. You know? So, for instance, say I have a book on algebra. What I do is take the best equations, film them, and hope that it comes out."

[@funkyjones]

Ahhhhhh....finally......at 4:29 the interviewer strikes back with a little sarcasm AND gets Woody to smile!

[@aristotledixit]

"I show up on he set every couple of weeks and I kinda walk around"...lol.... (I bet he could chose this quote for his epitaph) Long live Woody Allen, you're such a wonderful artist

[@EricELT18]

"Say I have a book on algebra, I film them, and hope it comes out." Delightful!

[@GetMeThere1]

When the interviewer noted that he was in several places in the credits, and asked what he did on the film, he should have said "Well, I just did the credits."

[@ZwienerZ]

Agreed. This IS one of the funniest things I have ever seen,

[@webbess1]

Did the interviewer have to stop because he was laughing so much?

[@robertflint2549]

This is brilliant. I'm a Woody Allen fan all over again!

[@moeezS]

I'm crying right now, after he mentioned that he filmed the best equation in an Algebra book!

[@woody91142069]

@priapus56 The way that the interviewer laughs, and some grips ect laugh i the background, makes me think it is unscripted. very very funny.

[@VanPebble]

the interviewer had to take a break...Man, Woody was a gamer for this interview!

[@Jimothy86]

I love woody.

[@NickAndTommyFight]

WHERE IS PART THREE

[@piromaniac9999]

DAMM nice job woody in getting the interviewer to laugh. LOL i think he purposefully did this pull his leg

[@bitofacunt195]

I am sure that the interviewer is Peter Cook. One of the few people cabable of interviewing Woody Allen.

[@quiet451]

"Say I have an algebra textbook. I take the best equations and film them."

[@andwhatfire]

It seems like their at a standoff---Allen is letting the interviewer run the track of the interview he wants to stay on track, and giving his tongue-in-cheek answers to make it more of a point. He's funny, incidentally.

[@RickS2369]

I am curious if this is all improvised.

[@Findulidas]

Because its fun, its interesting to see. It works to air this and its diffrent.

[@IndieMovieChannel]

This is like that scene in Office Space when Peter is being interviewed by the two Bob's and just doesnt give a shit anymore :D

[@funkyjones]

Ahhhhhh....finally......at 4:29 the interviewer strikes back with a little sarcasm!

[@peliche77]

I'm very impressed with God.... I really like his work.... err.... but nobody else

[@shurwali]

@MrGreen428 hahah funny you say that, was thinking of Dylan throughout the first half of the interview!

[@NomNomGohan]

This is so fucking genius

[@MrSirMrSirMr]

@farleigh17 It's definitely not Peter - that's not his voice, and he's witty enough not to have been playing the straight man. Someone else mentioned that it's Barry Took (creator of Monty Python), and it does sound more like his voice.

[@pollardmark]

VERY WITTY :-) But any idea who the interviewer is ? he sounds familiar :-)

[@pacattack05]

Constructing the puerto Ricans was extremely expensive ahha ahhaha ahaha

[@JAXandDAX]

He's actually making an inside joke when he says the prisoners are sent from casting. He means Central Casting. Parole officers frequently take prisoners there. Have been for decades. It's actually rehabilitative. One of the extras on My Name Is Earl was a Mongel (sp?) gang member and made it to the front page of the L.A. Times when they put him (back) in prison.

[@estebanrivera4786]

6:57 I would've told Woody "Gesundheit".

[@anitasseo]

well,,, makes sense!

[@TroyOi]

@thehumancrisis He ought to remake Bananas today. With CGI, he can avoid the high expense of constructing Puerto Ricans. On the other hand, perhaps he can just go to the studio's Props department.and see if they still have the Puerto Ricans from the first movie.

[@jovossuck123]

this is too funnny i really mean it waaayy too funny

[@anitasseo]

why did the interviewer go on? i don´t get it... triyng to bother him, trying to having fun himself?--

[@farleigh17]

Yere, I think its highly likely that it is Peter Cook because it can't be scripted and 'Do people come up to you on the streets and say 'you're Jewish, great to meet you' and that sort of thing?' is a very Peter Cook-esque thing to say.

[@Manfromperu]

peter cook was rock and roll!!!!

[@vicalieg]

Is it Peter Cook?

[@MoeGreensRightEye]

Not Peter cook. It's this guy: www.cinemasauce.com/all-about-woody/ Scroll down, he talks about this interview

[@vicalieg]

@@MoeGreensRightEye Johnnie Hamp - great name

[@shararockboy]

@MrGreen428 no this is not a dylen impersonation, dylen did not do the same thing , he would laugh at audience but this guy plays a character

[@Attritive]

Witness the invention of trolling.

[@MrSirMrSirMr]

@DejectedPanda Indeedio - but you can be sure it'd never be Peter Cook. Besides, it clearly isn't his voice or accent.

[@semiflex]

it sounded a bit steve coogan

[@unclespinnydervish2471]

A lot of Woody-hate going on...jeez. I feel Boris in Love and Death when he's recruited to go fight against Napoleon.

[@Gos1234567]

is this interview for real? i am gonna die laughing?

[@BunnyMan456]

No they just walk up and say, "You're Jewish." haahaha

[@SmutJunkie]

No, they just come up to me and say, "You're Jewish." And leave it at that.

[@MrGreen428]

I wonder if this is a Dylan impersonation?

[@nogoodbastid]

well first you'd have to get him to adopt you.

[@tomjdennis]

haha building puerto rico was not so much, but constructing the puerto ricans was a fortune

[@semiflex]

actually scratch that he would have been 6

[@WillisProvidence]

Peter Cook wouldn't laugh... he's just as swift as Woody

[@popancake]

This is great it's almost like a Ricky Gervais type thing just making himself out to be the worst type of person imaginable!
