Annie Hall is the only comedy that’s ever won an Oscar for best movie of the year. It ends with a joke that reveals EVERYTHING. Woody Allen’s character, in trying to explain why he keeps trying to have relationships even though none of them have ever worked, tells this joke (I’m paraphrasing):
Man goes to a psychiatrist: “Doc, I don’t know what to do. My brother is out of his mind. He thinks he’s a chicken!”
Psychiatrist: “Why don’t you have him committed?”
Man: “I would, except I need the eggs.”
Allen goes on to say, “Why do we keep longing for relationships when they make you crazy? I guess because we need the eggs.”
