Woody Allen has been the source of much controversy through the years, but what is easily overlooked past the scandalous headlines are the funny quotes ascribed to the man. His infamy has made him a much-known celebrity, and as the man behind films such as Annie Hall, Manhattan, Hannah and her Sisters, and a lot more movies which subscribe to the same film genre, he finds himself dealing with recurring themes that hinge on sexuality, philosophy, literature, psychoanalysis, and New York City. Aside from that, his films often portray a self-reflective Woody Allen persona: the neurotic writer in New York City.

But it’s his wry, sarcastic, intellectual, neurotic, and self-deprecating humor that is the focus of this video. Woody Allen’s witty quotations reflect an observant manner of criticizing society. These funny quotes unmistakably echo an undeniable truth. He has long championed the brand of humor that doesn’t undermine the audience’s intellect.

Here now are 10 of the funniest quotes by Woody Allen. These funny quotes were taken either from his interviews or from the characters of his movies. Most of these quotes deal with issues of sex, marriage, literature, death, relationships, and pop culture. They’ll bring a wry smile to your face and encourage you to think about the themes involved.

“I took the speed reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It’s about Russia.”
“If my films don’t show a profit, I know I’m doing something right.” (By that logic, this video is doing something right too, lol.)
“I sold the memoirs of my sex life to a publisher. They are going to make a board game out of it.”
“In Los Angeles they don’t throw their garbage away. They make it into television shows.”
“Another good thing about being poor is that when you are seventy, your children will not have you declared legally insane insane in order to gain control of your estate.”
“A fast word about oral contraception: I asked a girl to go to bed with me and she said no.”
“I’m not afraid to die. I just don’t want to be there when it happens.”
“I took a test on existentialism. I left all the answers blank and got a hundred.”
“The only time my wife and I had a simultaneous orgasm was when the judge signed the divorce papers.”
“When I was kidnapped, my parents snapped into action. They rented out my room.”

The quotes on literature, film, and sex exhibit that wry, ironic, and sarcastic sense of humor which defines Woody Allen. The speed reading quote is funny because of his mockery of pretentious reading. The second funny quote echoes the hilarious intellectual pride that “great films don’t appeal to the masses.” The third funny quote is a classic self-deprecating joke which Woody often associates with himself, that of an unattractive, nerdy New Yorker. Ultimately, it just shows that Woody Allen’s funny quotes affirm how humor is indeed a universal language.”
