It is certainly true that his early films (this film, What's Up, Tiger Lily? Him: "Yeah but what other ways?" Don’t worry, it won’t take long. It is typically filled with many of Woody Allen's funny one-liners and gags. Fresh.
QUICK! Woody Allen is funny by reason of being Woody Allen, but that is becoming a decreasingly cashable asset. March 18, 2010 Search. The sharply satirical, uneven and often bizarre Bananas comes from Woody Allen's zany period and tells the story of New York nebbish Fielding Mellish (Allen) who ends up El Presidente of San Marcos, a tiny war-torn Central American banana republic after he falls in love with a radical political activist (Louise Lasser) who is more interested in making revolution than love. An example while they were breaking up - Him: "How am I immature?"
