The reason he started smoking cigars was so that if he needed time to think of a joke or line he could use it to buy time

I liked when he said: " I love my cigar but I take it out once in a while "

@@AceripXF The candidate is listing a few commercial applications of felt (the fabric). He mentions it's used in women's clothing but also says "automobiles and aeroplanes couldn't run without felt". Groucho initially goes for the low-hanging fruit and asks whether women "couldn't run without felt" - and then absolutely kills it

Never really watched any Groucho before, just a lot of imitations and pop culture references growing up in the 80's. Watching this now I'm amazed at his wit and delivery, and I can see the caricatures of him didnt do him any justice. He was a man who was truly made for comedy!

Might I suggest you watch all of the Marx Brothers movies. Their two best were A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races. Duck Soup is also a classic. Those three were when they were at their peak. After Erving Thalberg died, their films went down hill. Bear in mind their comedy was from the 1920's - 40's. And you'll need to have an appreciation of slapstick and physical comedy or you won't get it.

I loved You bet your life , as a child. It's great seeing these old reruns. Groucho still makes me laugh. What a great comedian, one of a kind.

Only Groucho could have his audience laughing in the aisles merely by looking out at them. They expected that the ad lib one liner was about to be dropped. Johnny Carson could do the same thing. Groucho once had a guest on that remarked that he and his wife had 10 children. Groucho asked him how that happened. The guest replied "I love my wife." As always Groucho did the slow look into the audience and they were going crazy with laughter. He did not disappoint. His come back was, "I love my cigar but I take it out once in a while." Imagine if you were in the audience for that one!

Groucho was incredible! His humor still resonates today, and while he could be very suggestive, he was never downright dirty. Although considering the censors of the 1950s, it's surprising some of his comments made it past them!

Not everyone adored Groucho. His son told the story of his family returning from a vacation in Canada. When they stopped at Customs the agent asked the usual questions but when he asked Groucho’s occupation instantly he replied Smuggler. Their family then was interrogated for hours and their car searched. The family was pissed but Groucho thought it was hilarious.

Some of the best moments are when even the great Groucho gets surprised, has to process what was just said, and just silently looks at the camera. The look and time he has to think of what to say are just as funny as anything he might have just quipped had he been able to do so.

I remember that once on this show an old lady made Groucho put his cigar out! :-D

The great Groucho. I wish I could have met him or seen him live. One of the GOAT! Never saw him speechless

They were all brilliant. Never get tired of the Marx brothers.

I'm 76 years old and Groucho 's "You Bet Your Life" was one of my favorite TV shows; my whole family watched it regularly. He had a monumental. True humor is timeless - these clips are as funny now as they were in the 1950s.
