“What is so fascinating about sitting around watching a bunch of pituitary cases stuff a ball through a hoop?”
I’ve always seen this as a quote on Basketball. Or rather, an insult on Basketball. It’s from the movie Annie Hall by Woody Allen. To me it’s also a quote about Liberal Editing. I call it that because every reference or graphic that has that quote fails to post the answer to the question, which Woody Allen answers in the movie:
“What is fascinating is that it’s physical. You know it’s one thing about intellectuals, they’re proof that you can be absolutely brilliant and have no idea what’s going on.”
When I looked for this quote online, the second part is always left out.
And I think it’s left out because it’s difficult to decide whether you’re: 1) a dumb person who watches pituitary cases stuff a ball through a hoop or, 2) a really smart person who has no clue what’s going on. Liberals definitely don’t watch pituitary cases stuff a hoop. Better leave the second part of that quote off.
Now Woody Allen says ‘intellectual,’ not liberal, in the movie. I guess that’s my bias towards intellectuals being liberal. That’s probably not true, but then it’s not funny. Well, to me anyway.
