Best & Worst: Jewish Gag
Best: Opening monologue
Film: Annie Hall (1977)
Why It Rocks: Like the classic Vaudeville comedians that Woody admires, this is such a Jewish joke it's in the Talmud!
"There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions."
Worst: Jewish Robot Tailors
Film: Sleeper (1973)
Why It Sucks: It's the kind of joke that would make even Mel Brooks want to leave the cinema and take a schvitz.
Oh look, the robots have big noses. Ha. And the suit doesn't fit. Who would have guessed? EVERYONE, Woody. Everyone.

Ah, but I love the Bananas courtroom scene! if only for the pan of the jury when we see one of them drinking from a fish bowl. Unexpected, surreal, hilarious. Plus you have the intro to that scene with the old lady and the hat, again, brilliant. Hell, the trailer is funnier that alot of his recent output and certainly more amusing than anything Apatow and the rest of the 'Jew-tang Clan' has been involved with (Anchorman being the sole exception).

Glad I'm not alone in thinking that Bananas dragged on throughout its last half hour.
