It has to be that time in Allen's apartment when he's left all the books lying open to look smart and he just does everything wrong or awkwardly.
"I would never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member."
Agreed. When he is holding the album jacket and makes some gesture with his hand and the record comes flying out, and when he tries to look all cool and nonchalant by leaning on the chair and it topples over. Great stuff.

shareHe's so great at physical comedy. That scene is a total classic.
