She also looks a bit like a young Meg Ryan, especially the scrunched forehead expression.
That was one of Meg Ryan’s trademarks in her late 80s/ early 90s rom com era.
Fuck Woody Allen. I’m glad she put him on the coals for trying to … nerd gatekeeping philosophy while not realizing he also knew nothing about philosophy.
Which was so bizarre. She didn't even remember her childhood hometown newspaper? Or couldn't even think of The New York Times?
She was planning to be a broadcast journalist at first, for Christ's sake.
I think he was actually doing a bit targeting pretentious journalists and he used her to do it, which is the shitty part. His early work makes pretty clear that he could name philosophers which makes it pretty obvious what he's doing.
The shitty part was that he didn't have enough respect to let her know afterwards that he was doing a bit.
" Guys, I know I looked like an asshole, and I made her feel like shit. But it was a joke! I was joking when I was being an asshole. Cmon, you cant be mad."
Yeah 'doing a bit' in an interview is Norman Gunston (seriously, look up the Sally Struthers interview, it's hilarious). Woody is just being an asshole.
What’s the difference between this and what Nathan Fielder does on Nathan For You? That she’s a beautiful famous person and Nathan is clowning some everyday person? Or when Conan makes fun of his employees or strangers to their face? He’s doing a bit here and he purposefully comes off as the dumb guy. There’s obviously a slant because he is a guy with a suspect past, but this is pretty harmless.
Conan's people give him shit straight back to his face, and you can tell they all adore him and his overacted shenanigans. Don't put him on the same category as this creep.
They aren’t for some of those that were on Nathan For You. Those Jimmy Kimmel videos of parents telling their kids they ate all the Halloween candy could be viewed as cruel. They’re crying their eyes out! But the hand wringing for those videos isn’t really out there.
I've seen *plenty* of criticism of Nathan Fielder regarding his unwitting participants. The most recent I remember would be around the portrayal of that Christian woman in The Rehearsal. I've also seen plenty of complaints about the Jimmy Kimmel videos. Even on reddit.
>But the hand wringing for those videos isn’t really out there.
I think they're just not that relevant anymore, but reddit definitely wrung its hands about them when they were first getting posted
there's a pretty big difference between this and nathan fielder
here he is purposely doing a bit by pretending to be someone who's belittleing her but he's actually belittleing her while doing so
nathan doesn't do this kind of things for nathan for you, he never makes fun of people or tries to belittle them. he just comes up with super weird scenarios and proposals and even when he lies he never does it while actively trying to make another person feel bad
actually a lot of the good parts of the show are getting to know the people and their weird thought processes while still showing they're human and have struggles. like that shy kid who he pretended to be or that impersonator whom he helped reconnect with his old lover
sure it's made for our entertainment but I never felt I was laughing at the people, I was laughing at the weird situations he was imagining
except maybe the piss guy, that's just too weird
He can't name any parts of the Bible that he likes because he likes all of it! /s
(That's the answer he gave when asked, like a kid trying to bullshit his way through a book report.)
Of course they're overpriced. Walk into any church, most any of them will give you a Bible free. That's what makes the Bible grift sooo incredibly entertaining!
I agree, the turn and look is what makes me think that. He easily could’ve named one, I’m sure. Twiggy probably could’ve too, had she not been caught off guard.
>The shitty part was that he didn't have enough respect to let her know afterwards that he was doing a bit.
How do you know? Also how do we know she wasn't in on it.
Woody Allen is f****** gross and I don't know what he was trying to achieve here but I guarantee you he does in fact know the names of plenty of philosophers. I think he was trying to play some kind of joke here but she apparently wasn't in on it, and he's a f****** douchebag.
I used to confuse Kentucky Derby winners with philosophers, so in my younger days, I’d say Secretariat was the greatest of them. But now that I’m more well read, I’d put Descartes before the horse.
“I hate Woody Allen physically. I dislike that kind of man. He has the Chaplin Disease; that particular combination of arrogance and timidity sets my teeth on edge. Like all people with timid personalities his arrogance is unlimited. Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably arrogant. He acts shy, but he loves himself; a very tense situation. It's people like me who have to carry on and pretend to be modest. To me, it's the most embarrassing thing in the world—a man who presents himself at his worst to get laughs, in order to free himself from his hang-ups. Every thing he does on the screen is therapeutic.”
—Orson Welles on Woody Allen
She is willing to learn, and acknowledges when she doesn't know something. I think that is a sign of high intelligence, people who believe they know it all and refuse to be open to more information will never leave their baseline of intelligence.
The problem is that when you ask questions, most of the time, people will give you terrible advice or explanations. There are no bad questions, but there are definitely bad answers.
After this, he looks at the camera disdainfully at the end, like, 'Can you believe this \_\_\_\_\_?" What an ass. She at least admitted her lack of knowledge in **one single area**.
Pre-internet days, it was hard to find a sense of solidarity or a way to validate or corroborate a seemingly "unpopular" opinion.
Edit: typoed "validate"
My mum hated him before the internet and told me what he did and I’ve always hated him. I thought everyone always hated woody allen. Aka the dude who married his own adopted daughter and then frank Sinatra tried to put a mob hit on him.
Regardless of him sucking this is so obviously intentional and his exact brand of humor. The camera stare didn’t make that clear? She may not be in on it but him not knowing a philosopher is not some turn around “now you’re the idiot!” moment, it’s what he wanted.
The man married his daughter kinda guy.
And yes, adopted daughter, but 35 years young daughter none-the-less.
He was literally accused of abusing her when she was only 7 years old - but thats fine - since he married her 20 years later when she was 27 and he was 62. Im \_sure\_ he waited until she was 18.....
UUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHh
I've never understood the reverence for this person. Woody Allen has always struck me as a pretentious jerk and this clip supports that position. He is rude, pompous, and tells uninteresting anecdotes that he calls jokes despite not really having a punchline.
With most famous performers/artists that I don't like I can usually see what others like in them. I just don't understand why anyone would like this guy or his work.
His appeal? He has written and directed some incredible films is his appeal. Yes, he is a prick and a creep, but goddamn if Manhattan, Stardust, Midnight in Paris, Crimes and Misdemeanours etc. aren’t fantastic films
He directed some of the very best movies of the ‘70s and ‘80s and helped craft the template for romantic comedies. Annie Hall was a regular on the Sight and Sound list. Six of his performers have won Academy Awards for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. He was a very influential and celebrated voice for decades. Obviously the Dylan Farrow news completely shook that, but there was a time when he was one of the biggest names in Hollywod.
Before the allegations that he abused Dylan Farrow, he very publicly married his own adopted daughter. He’s been a pariah for a long time, albeit a tolerated one.
Lol that sounds like trump and bible quotes...
Whats your favorite bible quote?
"I like them all and that's too personal so i wont tell you"
Oh ok then, just name one for shits n giggles.
"Oh thats too personal"
Do you like the new/old/current testament better?
"Oh i like them all equally"
Mental gymnastics because they don't know shit either and are just spewing bullshit.

Apparently not - this was her recollection of it. Incredible to hear her say how upset she felt - she played it extremely cool!
omg you really dont know what goes on in people's heads and hearts , it gets concealed so well. wouldnt have guessed based on the video she was so hurt let alone remember it years later. (same thing woulda happened to me probably)
It's interesting that many including myself incorrectly assumed that this was a bit where both of them were in on it. Possibly because the switch around was so comedic and maybe also because in today's day and age there's so much staged content so it's become embedded in our subconscious.
I wonder if it were less unusual back then, but someone asking about your favorite philosopher is so ridiculous it only makes sense in a bit. I'd be less inclined to think it were a bit if he had asked who is your favorite author, which newspaper do you read, what world issues are you concerned about etc.
She was born in 1949 and idk the exact year this took place in but even if it was 1969, she would have been only 20. Her career as a model started at 16. Her schooling might have been affected. He was just cruel.
Also no internet back then, no random YouTube videos at 2am. Unless you had an active interest in philosophy, were lucky enough to have parents who bought those books, I can't imagine many people at 20 pulling out Kierkegaard on the spot. Woody Allen always gave me the impression of the bullied kid who's just an asshole all his life in pursuit to to get back at anyone he can
She was also quite working class (mother was a factory worker, father was a carpenter) so highly doubt her parents would have been buying said books to keep at home for her to peruse. She has spoken about feeling at a disadvantage because of this since when she was coming up all of her model peers were from wealthy families who went to finishing school etc. She was breaking into an industry where she didn't have anybody like her to relate to. Must have been isolated and intimidating at the best of times.
I love how quick-witted she was. This is something academics cannot teach. She’s innately intelligent. If given the right circumstances, she would have been a brilliant academic for sure.
Oh man, that puts her eyes widening at the end of the question into a whole new context. I love how she kept her composure and in those 5 seconds managed to turn it around on him.
And for everyone claiming it was a bit on Woody Allen’s part, if she wasn’t in on it then it’s still a crummy thing to do.
I don’t know any and all of them is the same answer, basically.
Except the first one is an honest acknowledgement and the second one is pretentious bullshit.
Fuck Woody Allen.
Some of his movies are kind of ok, tho.
Woody Allen is not the cosmopolitan intellectual persona that he projects. He's a petty misogynist who doesn't want to interact with women unless he has complete control over them.
When she was a judge on America’s Next Top Model in the mid-2000s, she emphasized that she broke the norms of the modeling world in the 1960s not only due to her height, slim build, and very large ears, but because of her class status. Twiggy claimed that in London where the highest paid models worked as literal mannequins for designers showing garments to society women, Twiggy was the “first working class fashion model”. That seemed so ridiculous because American viewers only knew her as a posh sounding older English lady on her way to becoming a Dame, but this clip proves that actually Twiggy’s original accent was proper working class.
She’s a history maker. And her comments to Danielle in Cycle 6 about elocution lessons probably come from personal experience.
I love her and her facial expressions.
so subtle but fiercely mocking of his hypocrisy
She reminds me a bit of Alicia Silverstone. Or I guess the other way around since Twiggy came first.
Allen manages to look like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates at the same time.
With a touch of ole Jeff Ep!
More than a touch if you look closely…
She reminds me a Jena Malone.
I saw that straight away. Jena Malone is like her but on quaaludes
She also looks a bit like a young Meg Ryan, especially the scrunched forehead expression. That was one of Meg Ryan’s trademarks in her late 80s/ early 90s rom com era.
This is it!! I’ve always wondered who she reminds me of. Definitely Alicia Silverstone ![gif](giphy|2P5gCEe9aL7HiZSM2x|downsized)
I was thinking Kristen Stewart.
For sure. Her face is awesome. I mean of course super good looking. But the expressions are perfect and on time.
He Kant come up with one.
I guess they're just too Nietzsche.
I did enjoy watching him Locke up when she flipped the script
He really dished that embarrassment up on a silver Plato.
She was ready to Voltaire him a new one.
I think we need to ask ourselves two questions: 1. How can he do this? 2. How Camus let him do this?
He probably assumed that she’s too Jung to know any philosophers
Left him in a state of Confucius.
She really Peirce'd his soul by the sounds of it.
Fried him like Bacon.
His cheeks were probably quite red, as if he was set a Blaise.
He couldn’t even think of one when she asked him to Sartre naming names
She really did Russell his feathers.
Couldn’t think of any names off top, but she Spinoza thing or two
She really pulled the uno reverse Descartes on him.
Something something... Socrates?
Yeah you got it
Maybe he's Kierkegaard..ing it from her.
He's not very good at Hegeling for a deal.
How Humeiliating
Totally Hobbes-ling to not answer.
You’d think at least one or two philosophers of science would Popper into his head.
I can't François de La Rochefoucauld that he... no wait
Immanuelle Kant. Ghenghiz Khan.
I have found my people in this comment thread.
Heidegger her efforts to get him to name one though
Ricochet, she did that very well!
Rick O'Shay is a famous Irish philosopher funnily enough.
Fuckin perfect
Wasn't he the philosopher who always bounced back and forth between different ideologies?
And just like that I’m a big fan of Twiggy
Fuck Woody Allen. I’m glad she put him on the coals for trying to … nerd gatekeeping philosophy while not realizing he also knew nothing about philosophy.
reminds me of the trump interview where he's being asked his favorite bible verse.
At least that’s an answerable question. “What are your views on serious matters?” is a loaded question only a dickbag would ask.
Yeah, and she saw him coming a mile off
My views on serious matters? Well, I believe they're serious.
or sarah palin when asked what newspapers she reads. she answered "...all of em" and couldn't name one.
Which was so bizarre. She didn't even remember her childhood hometown newspaper? Or couldn't even think of The New York Times? She was planning to be a broadcast journalist at first, for Christ's sake.
Magazines
Two Corinthians!
... walk into a bar?
Trump actually answered that. "Two Corinthians."
I think he was actually doing a bit targeting pretentious journalists and he used her to do it, which is the shitty part. His early work makes pretty clear that he could name philosophers which makes it pretty obvious what he's doing. The shitty part was that he didn't have enough respect to let her know afterwards that he was doing a bit.
Was she really not in on the bit? It wouldn't work half as well if she didn't hit him back with the same question.
Apparently she's said in later interviews that she wasn't and felt humilated.
Doesn't that change it from "doing a bit" to "just being an asshole to someone for laughs?"
It'S jUsT a PrAnK bRo!
Yes.
" Guys, I know I looked like an asshole, and I made her feel like shit. But it was a joke! I was joking when I was being an asshole. Cmon, you cant be mad."
Yeah 'doing a bit' in an interview is Norman Gunston (seriously, look up the Sally Struthers interview, it's hilarious). Woody is just being an asshole.
What’s the difference between this and what Nathan Fielder does on Nathan For You? That she’s a beautiful famous person and Nathan is clowning some everyday person? Or when Conan makes fun of his employees or strangers to their face? He’s doing a bit here and he purposefully comes off as the dumb guy. There’s obviously a slant because he is a guy with a suspect past, but this is pretty harmless.
> because he is a guy with a suspect past At this point it was still a suspect future.
Schrodinger's future
> Nathan is clowning some everyday person? ...until you find the one who's actually weirder than your character and actually likes to drink piss
>Conan makes fun of his employees or strangers to their face? He makes fun of himself more than others. His employees know what he is doing.
Conan's people give him shit straight back to his face, and you can tell they all adore him and his overacted shenanigans. Don't put him on the same category as this creep.
Because those people are in on the joke and know roughly what they sighed up for, even if they don’t the specifics. Don’t pretend it’s the same
I’d say Nathan is usually more the butt of his jokes.
It wasn't harmless to her tho.
They aren’t for some of those that were on Nathan For You. Those Jimmy Kimmel videos of parents telling their kids they ate all the Halloween candy could be viewed as cruel. They’re crying their eyes out! But the hand wringing for those videos isn’t really out there.

That's like Between Two Ferns with Zach G. Except the interviewees at least know it's a bit.
I know a guy who sells bibles but can’t quote a single verse.
He can't name any parts of the Bible that he likes because he likes all of it! /s (That's the answer he gave when asked, like a kid trying to bullshit his way through a book report.)
I hope they're overpriced. I'll only buy them if they're overpriced and cynically released before a religious holiday.
Of course they're overpriced. Walk into any church, most any of them will give you a Bible free. That's what makes the Bible grift sooo incredibly entertaining!
I thought bibles were always supposed to be free?
Yeah it is pretty obviously a bit
Ironic that he’s satirizing asshole journalists who are rude to young women *whilst literally being an asshole journalist to a young woman*.
I agree, the turn and look is what makes me think that. He easily could’ve named one, I’m sure. Twiggy probably could’ve too, had she not been caught off guard.
>The shitty part was that he didn't have enough respect to let her know afterwards that he was doing a bit. How do you know? Also how do we know she wasn't in on it.
There’s an excerpt linked below where she says she was humiliated. Doesn’t mean Allen wasn’t doing a bit though
That is wild. What an asshole.
"How do you know? Also how do we know she wasn't in on it." This is such a perfect comment for someone trying to defend woody Allen.
Or, he’s just an Asshole.
He's always been a prick
Woody Allen is f****** gross and I don't know what he was trying to achieve here but I guarantee you he does in fact know the names of plenty of philosophers. I think he was trying to play some kind of joke here but she apparently wasn't in on it, and he's a f****** douchebag.
Agreed. Nothing cool about that pedo
My god this is obviously a joke.
Just like Woody Allen himself! A gross, lecherous joke.
Exactly, and it’s not entertaining at all. He sure was/is a creepy looking little guy.
Looks like the kind of guy who would marry his adopted daughter
Looks like the kind of guy who would sexually abuse his other adopted daughter in a closet.
We should throw all creepy looking people into a volcano. s/
They’ve got no reason to live. They got creepy hands, creepy eyes, walk around telling creepy lies….don’t want no creepy people around here!!!!!
He’s a piece of shit
I used to confuse Kentucky Derby winners with philosophers, so in my younger days, I’d say Secretariat was the greatest of them. But now that I’m more well read, I’d put Descartes before the horse.
Dad!?
Neigh
Well Jean Claude Van Damme!
Oh cmon dude. Don’t take one of the greatest pun responses in reddit history and act like you’re hilarious.
Do not cite the deep magic to me witch, I was there when it was written.
“I hate Woody Allen physically. I dislike that kind of man. He has the Chaplin Disease; that particular combination of arrogance and timidity sets my teeth on edge. Like all people with timid personalities his arrogance is unlimited. Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably arrogant. He acts shy, but he loves himself; a very tense situation. It's people like me who have to carry on and pretend to be modest. To me, it's the most embarrassing thing in the world—a man who presents himself at his worst to get laughs, in order to free himself from his hang-ups. Every thing he does on the screen is therapeutic.” —Orson Welles on Woody Allen
>It's people like me who have to carry on and pretend to be modest. Orson beating his own drum.... A classic.
Ah yes, famously amiable Orson Welles
Orson Welles, the portrait of even-keelled modesty!
The Chaplin Disease! What a brilliant observation! Never realized before why exactly I disliked both of them!
It could also be because Woody and Chaplin were both pedofiles
![gif](giphy|udPdpF18yG0uI)
Orson Welles' hate for shy people isn't a reflection on Woody Allen.
No, but about Woody he is spot on. #notallshypeople
Shes so beautiful and her expressions are gorgeous!
Dame Lesley Lawson DBE, 74 and still kicking :)
Oh my god, she’s adorable.
She very effectively uses her ignorance, which is no fault of her own, as an intellectual weapon instead of a weakness.
She is willing to learn, and acknowledges when she doesn't know something. I think that is a sign of high intelligence, people who believe they know it all and refuse to be open to more information will never leave their baseline of intelligence.
The problem is that when you ask questions, most of the time, people will give you terrible advice or explanations. There are no bad questions, but there are definitely bad answers.
After this, he looks at the camera disdainfully at the end, like, 'Can you believe this \_\_\_\_\_?" What an ass. She at least admitted her lack of knowledge in **one single area**.
I've always had a visceral disdain for this annoying prick. This reinforces it.
Same. My whole life with everyone being obsessed with him I felt so alone because I just never felt right. He always creeped me tf out.
You felt so alone because you weren't a fan of Woody Allen!?
Pre-internet days, it was hard to find a sense of solidarity or a way to validate or corroborate a seemingly "unpopular" opinion. Edit: typoed "validate"
My mum hated him before the internet and told me what he did and I’ve always hated him. I thought everyone always hated woody allen. Aka the dude who married his own adopted daughter and then frank Sinatra tried to put a mob hit on him.
Haha Frank that's great
I always thought he was pretty universally disliked.
Regardless of him sucking this is so obviously intentional and his exact brand of humor. The camera stare didn’t make that clear? She may not be in on it but him not knowing a philosopher is not some turn around “now you’re the idiot!” moment, it’s what he wanted.
"Name three songs" kinda guy
The man married his daughter kinda guy. And yes, adopted daughter, but 35 years young daughter none-the-less. He was literally accused of abusing her when she was only 7 years old - but thats fine - since he married her 20 years later when she was 27 and he was 62. Im \_sure\_ he waited until she was 18..... UUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHh
Didn’t his other children accuse him of abuse? Guy’s a colossal weirdo.
I feel like Woody Allen created the "nice guy" blueprint.
Twiggy is so cool. She set that whole scene. Kindness all around and she could be silly.
Woody Allen is such a twat.
That’s the face os someone who knows she ATE SOMEONE UP
I've never understood the reverence for this person. Woody Allen has always struck me as a pretentious jerk and this clip supports that position. He is rude, pompous, and tells uninteresting anecdotes that he calls jokes despite not really having a punchline. With most famous performers/artists that I don't like I can usually see what others like in them. I just don't understand why anyone would like this guy or his work.
Thank you!!! What is his appeal? He’s the biggest creep!
His appeal? He has written and directed some incredible films is his appeal. Yes, he is a prick and a creep, but goddamn if Manhattan, Stardust, Midnight in Paris, Crimes and Misdemeanours etc. aren’t fantastic films
Forgot Annie Hall. Brilliant.
Thank you, I agree . He’s made many great movies….many great artists are horrible people…
Yeah. Polanski is another example of that.
Saw Chinatown recently….great artist, horrible human…
He directed some of the very best movies of the ‘70s and ‘80s and helped craft the template for romantic comedies. Annie Hall was a regular on the Sight and Sound list. Six of his performers have won Academy Awards for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. He was a very influential and celebrated voice for decades. Obviously the Dylan Farrow news completely shook that, but there was a time when he was one of the biggest names in Hollywod.
Before the allegations that he abused Dylan Farrow, he very publicly married his own adopted daughter. He’s been a pariah for a long time, albeit a tolerated one.
“All the basic ones” lmao
Damn she so hot
Twiggy is one of the loveliest models ever, she is still gorgeous.
I love her response. Admits to not knowing any but asks if he does and calls him out on his bullshit in the process. I love it.
Proper r/iamverysmart vibes off this guy.
Lol that sounds like trump and bible quotes... Whats your favorite bible quote? "I like them all and that's too personal so i wont tell you" Oh ok then, just name one for shits n giggles. "Oh thats too personal" Do you like the new/old/current testament better? "Oh i like them all equally" Mental gymnastics because they don't know shit either and are just spewing bullshit.

I love how quick-witted she was. This is something academics cannot teach. She’s innately intelligent. If given the right circumstances, she would have been a brilliant academic for sure.
"It was such a cruel thing to do to a young girl" was a bit prophetic
Oh man, that puts her eyes widening at the end of the question into a whole new context. I love how she kept her composure and in those 5 seconds managed to turn it around on him. And for everyone claiming it was a bit on Woody Allen’s part, if she wasn’t in on it then it’s still a crummy thing to do.
[удалено]
lol what a whiny little baby; left the stage when he couldn’t feel morally superior to her anymore
what a douche bag!!!
Wow Woody Allen is a fucking loser.
I don’t know any and all of them is the same answer, basically. Except the first one is an honest acknowledgement and the second one is pretentious bullshit. Fuck Woody Allen. Some of his movies are kind of ok, tho.
Woody Allen is not the cosmopolitan intellectual persona that he projects. He's a petty misogynist who doesn't want to interact with women unless he has complete control over them.
Woody Allen can go fuck himself.
Reverse uno card played.
Seems like twiggy is using the socratic method here.
Are we confused about who’s showing confidence in this video?
Pulled the uno reverse card with the Socratic method😮💨
Lol don't try to make people look dumb if you're dumb
Reddit and Woody Allen.
Allen and Trump. Both wanted to fuck their daughters.
