Having actually studied philosophy, it was especially off putting to have a horny, ugly, nurd like Allen trying to be funny, badly, about his notions of philosophy.
Not that comic actors, or philosophers, have to be good, or even ordinary, looking.
But Allen, being, and acting, horny, and not good looking, and a pseudo intellectual, was, in his films, neither very funny, very enlightening, or very entertaining, at least not to me. He didn't just act clumsy; he was clumsy, not funny.
His costars, sometimes fairly good but not really good actresses (presumably he did not want to be upstaged by anyone really talented), routinely for fell flat as pancakes, both as characters, and foils.
