"Bananas" courtroom scene

[SlugaBoziji]

Somebody has actually hit dislike. He must have not had a sexual relationship with a girl with big breasts.

[athrough0]

Gotta love the jury passing a joint around...

[Greenhornet270]

Brilliant comedian...a Great person!!

[CalebTheTimeTraveler]

@Greenhornet270 Aside that whole Womanizing thing.

Still, he's nice.

[2makepeace]

" Officer Daud, Have you had sexual relations with girls with big breasts? YES.

How did you find it? Very Errotic."

hahahaha How can one not laugh when Woody asks it with such a straight face.

[slovak80]

2:50 hahahahahah real democraty hahahah and then comes miss America hahahaha

[mrckunkel]

mr. hoover !! lol

[DanRioNY]

That beginning part is such an homage to Groucho Marx. The same cadence and everything.

[123jlp]

haha 3:23

[TheLosthigh]

were were you on the night of june 23rd

[Chuichupachichi]

Perhaps, if they had treated him as if he was from the Valley & "gagged him with a spoon", the witness would have testified that he was a cross examining, fork tongued, silver spoon witness that was bound to do this judicial gag scene.

Marijuana juries with homosexual fruits, nuts & "Bananas"

[bloomingdedalus]

Woody Allen is fucking hilarious!

[chodeshadar18]

Remindes me of the Sholom Rubashkin trial.

[jst1998]

Miss America: ...differences of opinions should be tolerated but not when they are too different. Then he becomes a subversive mother....

This little scene has more great jokes in it than other comedies in entire movies.

[olebarca99]

LOL

[aglewi41]

lol hoover.

[Suryavideo]

is the jury smoking WEED?!?

[EspioArtwork]

SO LONG SUCKERS

[bapyou]

<3 Woody. Legally insane hilarious.

[worsethanamistake]

I thought it was mean of him to put his hat over Eleanor Roosevelt's face ...

[starstuff]

Brilliant!

[RandallFlaggNY]

Some of our modern terrorist trials remind me of this....

[burnt62]

A total cradle snatching creep ... but what a fantastic comedy writer !

[puck30]

I was little and I asked my Mom to take me to the Theatre to see this movie (on a double bill w/ Take The Money And Run). After the movie she said I wasn't allowed to see another Woody Allen movie again.

[clapphamjunction]

This has got to be the best trial scene ever in the history of Hollywood ; )

[my1990ful]

One of the funniest movies i've ever seen

[atticana]

Pure comedy gold!

[piscean60]

the guy playing the lawyer lived down the street from me when I was a kid- he was a nice guy-

[Robin4ever1970]

this part inspired me to do my skit all by myself for my english class :)

4:00 to 4:55

[ramboconan1]

The best part is the begining where he covers that lady's face with his hat!!

[rr7firefly]

The best section starts at 5:00. Hilarious!

[rr7firefly]

Was that Eleanor Roosevelt in the first 10 seconds?

[harrydunneX]

@rr7firefly That is one of my favorite jokes in ANY MOVIE! It always makes me roar and I wonder what he told the unfortunate-looking actress who he cast for that moment...

[slappy6817]

"A New York Jewish intellectual Communist crackpot. I mean...I dont wanna cast no aspersions."

[euginam91]

I don't know which woody allen movies I like more... the early screwball comedies or the later pseudo-philosophical movies... love and death was my favorite b/c it was a mix of both

[tallcoolone1]

i have to wonder if the joke about J. Edgar Hoover being dressed as a woman was the result of knowledge at the time....???

[parkingtech]

OMG I forgot about that scene where he is gagged & questioning the witness. Fricking hilarious!

[Vexis525]

"I've known Fielding Mellish for years, and he's a warm, wonderful human being."

"Would the clerk read that statement back please?"

"I've known Fielding Mellish for years, and he's a rotten, conniving dishonest little rat."

[mmartini50]

5:15 LOL

[jakster355]

isnt this Epstein vs Epstein?

[bobula101]

I thought the funniest part was the part at the end where he talks to the woman who goes into hysterics.

LOL

[wreckedpc]

Still a pedo lover.

[Rodney17302]

I love Woody Allen as an actor and a writer... I don't have to like him as a person...

[MemoriesOnTheMoon]

very well said! i agree

[jerryhello100]

Differences of opinion should be tolerated, but not when they are too different. hahahhaha

or, when the jury is smoking the joint.

[Vexis525]

I don't think it's a joint. I think he's just blowing bubbles in a fishbowl.

[Vexis525]

Ah, nevermind. I was thinking of a different scene.

[kondurperusix]

This movie is like a parody of all left winger leaders who try to emulate the cuban revolution during the 60's,70's and 80's,great movie

[kondurperusix]

This movie reminds you the sandinista revolution ,actually all left winger leaders who try to emulate the cuban revolution during the 60's,70's and 80's.....great movie,very underrated

[fazelife]

"i will order the marshall to bind and gag you..."

haha

[Marc11a]

LOL this movie is so funny, love woody allen, my inspiration as a cinematographer! Write, direct and play in his movie, thats a lot of work!

[greg5566]

Well, that's weird, because he doesn't light his movies!

[TexanComedian]

its a travesty, its a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham

[rosario508]

I wonder if that was the real Miss America.

[deviantrake]

Unfortunately not, the part was played by Dagne Crane.

[kondurperufive]

I saw this movie in 2004,but I don't remember this scene,very underrated movie,1 of best woody movies,BETTER THAN VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA

[zombiemonster]

Witness: I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I've known Fielding Mellish for years and he's a warm, wonderful human being.

Fielding Mellish: Uh, would the clerk read that statement back please?

Court Clerk: "I've known Fielding Mellish for years and he's a rotten, conniving, dishonest little rat."

Fielding Mellish: Ok, I just wanted to make sure you were getting it.

Judge: You're out of order!

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

using the word "thighs" in mixed company.

[wookie72]

His early movies were some of the funniest of all time.

[hamtrak]

This clip is a travesty of a mockery of a sham.

[stankoop]

Brilliant then and still.

[I4gotmyMANTRA]

heavy breathing X)

[UberSecret]

There seems to be a some passive aggressive hostility at 3m54s (hehe).

[MosheNL]

see that guy sitting next to the woman in yellow dress at 0:18? He's His Majasty Kingof Jordan !

[pandagal21]

I love 4:00-4:55

[winslowbennett]

That's the best part!!!

[StFrancisChurch]

Honduras should review this clip to use in their Trial of President Zelaya!

[Flacocachubi]

Woody Allen is God

[hugatag]

Fielding says to Police officer "did you ever have sex with a large breasted brunette?" Police Officer says "as a matter of fact I have" Fielding says" how did your find it" Police Officer says " very erotic!" Fielding says = just checking, no more questions! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mmartini50]

LOL -3:04 and and 5:18!!

[SteerforthBinoculars]

Fielding being coy with himself haha

[dekekyo]

the ''wouldnt you or couldnt you'' was on the money alright!!!

[JoeMoron2000]

Makes you wonder WHY she was able to understand him...

[acebrawler73]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhah­a. goddamn man thats funny. if you mean what i think you mean. lol

[johngalantini]

FANTASTIC!! The guy sipping from a fish-bowl and the woman's face he covers up!!!

[Winston2004]

lol

[RingoWinfrey]

"I object, your honor. This trial is a travesty, it's a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham."

What a hilarious line!

[liatino]

I GET IT!

[youvebeenthunderstru]

Opinions should be tolerated, but not when they're too different. Then he becomes a subversive mother. xD

[joejoeboston]

I don't get the joke "wouldn't you or couldn't you". Can someone explain?

[glen1ster]

Wouldn't you or couldn't you? (lol).

[Vaekkrinhart]

so annoying- not funny at all

[888edward888]

I object, your honor. sukit

[welshfilmbuff]

You can tell Zucker and Abrahams were influenced by this film!

First time I saw this scene, I was in agony from laughing!

[Valsaydia]

I love Woody Allen!!! This scene was funnnnyyyy!!!! :)

[tdstdstdss]

i love how he just put the hat over that lady's face!!! =P

[dAvrilthebear]

the last witness is great!

Of course you have to watch a lot of American cinema before you can watch Woody Allen.

[hksMovies]

is that woody allen?

[Winston2004]

darn funny

[thenightprowleracdc]

LMAOFF hahahahahah jajajajajaj que risa pendejete jajajajaja 3:23

[hamtrak]

......Walter,it's for you.

[word3r]

i would do the same as the jury in 4:44 watchin him interrogate him self lol

[superdooperstupor]

A riot. One of my favorite comedies. It was quite a coup to have J. Edgar Hoover and Anita Bryant in the same film.

[kboy20]

That wasn't Anita Bryant. Get outta that stupor, superdooper. That actually WAS Hoover, however. Hoover however, hoover however, hoover however!!! Somebody stop me!!!

[2008marian]

Miss America has some strong points there ! :)

[lonelygnome1]

lol nice

[kirk7524875248]

Nice voice!

[camilorojas89]

"name?"

"j. edgar hoover"

just... genious

[GetMeThere1]

This is hilarious because Hoover WAS a cross dresser (and gay), but that was absolutely not known to the public at the time.

[MusicJew158]

I mean I don't wanna cast no aspersions

[matzoball101]

when he was interviewing himself was sooooo funny

and the fishbowl part

[ryanskapa]

3:30 Luckily, I wasn't sipping a cola or I'd have spit it all over my computer screen.

[matzoball101]

OMG this is the funniest thing i have seen in in months

[BorisCollage]

"using the word thighs in mixed company" sooo goood!

The Miss America Jump Cuts are brilliant!

[sleepyduo37]

The part when the stenographer reads back the statement is the best.

[hugatag]

The part when he made the woman confess while he is bound and gagged was just soooo frigin funny.; She says "don't put words in my mouth"!

LMAO!

[squarebusinessent]

ahahahahah i love how he covered up that ugly lady's face hahahahah classic.

[Pletet]

fucking hell... i wanna have a shirt like that one woody is wearin'!

[86kinky86]

o mio babbino caro... I fukkin love that song. Written by Puccini.

[mev186]

This is the best courtroom scene ever!

[weeweemonsieur]

plus the one in Duck Soup.

[alun101]

Don't put words in my mouth!

Genius!

[Deggia]

from 5:04 to 5:45 is the BEST part lol

[hawkssens]

LOL!

Thanks!

[antifolkhero]

Your name please? J. Edgar Hoover. Amazing.

[zgole]

This is the quintessence of humor.

If someone does not like it, there is a Fox Life for them.

[coralarch]

When he puts his hat over the woman's face- is she meant to be Eleanor Roosevelt? And when he's carrying on about it being a travesty, sham etc- isnt that a nod to the Msrx brothers?

[scotpens]

She does look a lot like Mrs. Roosevelt, doesn't she? Funny, I never noticed that before. Don't know if the resemblance was intentional.

Of course, Woody is riffing on Groucho Marx in that bit. Check out the scene in "Love and Death" where Woody's character Boris is challenged to a duel of honor -- he's practically channeling Groucho.

He also does a lot of Bob Hope schtick in "Bananas" and "Love and Death," doing a variation on Hope's lovable-coward routine.

[scotpens]

"Miss America" really looks like a Miss America -- or an astronaut's wife!

This entire sequence plays like something out of a Marx Brothers picture -- especially the bit where Woody questions himself on the witness stand.

[vickss5]

"don't put words in my mouth" hahahaha hilarious!

[LarryDachslager]

You think Dumb and Dumber is funny and Bananas isn't??? Now THAT'S funny!

[hughtub]

Everything is so over the top and unfunny. It's slightly funny when he interrogates himself in the witness box. I think this style was done much better by the Naked Gun movies.

[Ramatganski]

Watch here, on youtube: "the directors" zucker,abrahams,zucker, just so you'll get some idea about what your actualy saying.

[scotpens]

You think "Dumb & Dumber" and the "Naked Gun" movies are funny -- but THIS is over the top?

[phlizmo]

lol

[southrules]

I love his old stuff, love it!

[hughtub]

Oh boy. I didn't laugh a single time. AGAIN. Woody Allen is so overrated it's a joke.

[fredpim11]

so what kind of film makes you laugh ?

[hughtub]

Dumb & Dumber is THE funniest movie of the past 50 years.

[TCall2004]

Yeah, if you're retarded.

[gucker07]

And you're 25 years old. That's just so sad.

[urourogyn]

Really you need to walk in front of a fast moving train. That is if you haven't already. Then please disregard.

[TCall2004]

What's the matter - Adam Sandler more your thing?

[hughtub]

Leslie Nielsen in Naked Gun movies is funny. Sandler is a little too Jewish/corrupt for my style.

[gucker07]

Fucking nazi. You disgust me.

[trackstar789]

thats probibly because you're so stupid all the jokes went right over your head

[gucker07]

You didn't laugh because you're retarded/mentally challenged/dumb/stupid. Take your pick...

[TCall2004]

Right over your head, huh?

Poor thing.

[Antimatter245]

Get out.

[welshuser]

One of the funniest scenes I've ever seen. 5 stars.

[WillyHill74]

awesome scene

[mcarthurrobert]

fcking great!
