The "INCREDIBLE WIT", back in the 1920's - 30's .....American Icons Groucho, Chico, & Harpo"...!!! Each guy had a meaning - Groucho, the oldest, "the comedy", & "the Brains" of the Brothers, Harpo - NEVER SPOKE, "a symbol" of the silent movies, Chico - an "Immigrant", THE LARGE MIGRATION TO AMERICA in the early 1900's more comedy, & with Harpo, provided music, that was first very popular, when the movies, first had audio, "Zeppo", wasn't really into it, & only appeared in a few films, the "good - looking guy", The "Rudolf Valentino", of their movies.

Glen Cadieux And "LARGE IMMIGRATION" has exactly WHAT to do with this? My god. Stop making every damned thing POLITICAL. IF you want to bring up what the Marx Bros did each in their own talented way, fine. But were they here illegally? NO. Did they assimilate, retain their roots without PUSHING & DEMANDING rights YES. Did they succeed with hard work & loads of talent? YES. After ALL these years, are they legendary for WHO they were & what they contributed to show biz & to everyone who loved them? YES. Are they STILL respected? YES. DOES ANYONE EXCEPT TYPES LIKE YOU MAKE IT ABOUT A STUPID NON-ISSUE? NO. Thanks for screwing up a great little film, in true form, for selfish, myopic reasons.

Actually, Chico was the oldest, and Harpo second. Groucho was third, followed by Gummo and Zeppo. Gummo was never in any of the movies, but was in their Vaudeville and Broadway stage shows. Zeppo essentially replaced him in the movies (for a while).

One night, back before they were a celebrated comedy act, when they worked vaudeville theatre, Chico decided to test Groucho. Halfway through the performance, he ignored the script they had and just said a random line, "the garbage truck is here". Groucho immediately replied, "tell them we don't want any more".

I have always had the theory that the top comedians think up one liners and witticisms and store them away for when they are being interviewed (I mean after all, being funny is their job). They get interviewed so many times that they know all the questions they're likely to be asked, and so think up funny responses and use them at just the right moment, and they appear to be improvised. And to be honest in many cases the interviews are set up, you can just tell from how the interviewer always happens to have the right "feed line" so the comedian can respond. After all, it benefits them both, the comedian is seen as "naturally very funny" and the interviewer's show gets talked about the next day ("Hey, did you see so-and-so's show last night. They had XYZ on and it was just hilarious") so more people likely to watch the next week. Here in Britain in the seventies and eighties we had three interviewers who were known for doing exactly this.

It's a living legend that will live on long after other living legends have died.

“I’ve never been so insulted!” “Well, the evening is still young!”

There's this one from "A Night at the Opera": "I was with her because she reminds me of you. That's why I'm with you. Because YOU remind me of you. Your hair, your lips, your eyes. Everything about you reminds me of you......except you. (aside) If she gets that one, she's good."

So that's where they got the lyrics for the song You Remind Me of You from the broadway play Minnie's Boys.

They left out one of my favorites: "This insurance policy will provide for your old age, which should be here in two weeks if I'm any judge of horse flesh."

@ dreaming etc... that's just it about the Marx Bro's... they appeal to our inner child no matter what the age or level of understanding. I see old sit-com re-runs that I remember laughing at when I was 8 and going boy was that ever stupid but it was done on the level of an 8 to 10 year old and nothing more. Where as the marx bro's are timeless.

Julius had great writers, but it was his delivery, hyper-fast wit and above all mastery of timing that made these gags immortal. A legend, and an epic...EPIC....troll. *Groucho Marx 1890-1977*

How he got in my pajamas I'll never know. - The classic Groucho line. The Marx Bro's were wonderfully insane, unique and nonstop entertaining. Still after all of this time, no one compares to them. The last and this centuries top rated comedy stars. Never grow tired of watching their movies. Perfect timing and continual comedy improvisation never grows tired.

Just before Christmas I was at my friends house and his teenage son was standing on the porch watching his dad and I unloading some stuff out of my van... so I stopped, pulled a $20 out of my wallet and said to the kid "see this? help us get the rest of this stuff into the house and I'll show it to you again"... well he helped us and when we were done he said "hey, where's that twenty? so I pulled it out and showed it to him again... he didn't get it but my buddy sure did... he didn't stop laughing, he still laughs about it to this day.

I recall seeing a "You Bet Your Life" outtake where one of the contestants was a felt salesman and was extolling the benefits of the material, declaring "America runs on felt". Groucho replied "Most women I know are felt, then run".

"No Sir, bad luck, three on a midget." I'm dying LOL

Groucho had the best delivery of any comic I have ever seen.

That drink sketch with the waiter is fkng genius! Used to love watching The Marx Brothers with my mum many years ago, we would both have tears rolling down our faces , laughing so much at the ridiculous jokes

Chico, playing the same notes on piano over and over, says "I can't think of the finish". Groucho: "That's funny, I can't think of anything else".

You didn't include my favorite Groucho routine. From Duck Soup: "Not that I care but where is your husband anyway?" "Why he's dead" "I'll bet he's just using that as an excuse." "I stayed with him till the very end." "Hmm, no wonder he passed away." "I held him in my arms and kissed him." "Oh I see, so it was murder!"

Two of my favorite Groucho quips: "You're only as old as the woman you feel." "I'm not a vegetarian, but I eat animals that are."

Groucho, Wilde, Twain and Andy Kaufman They will never go out of time.

I became so obsessed with The Marx Brothers when I was in college, early 70s. It never left me. They were/are the best.

Editor Fred R. Shapiro has researched this quote and says “There is no reason to believe that Groucho actually said this. It appeared in the Usenet news group net.jokes, 9 July 1982.” I first came across this line in a book by Ogden Nash, so I always attributed it to him. However, oddly enough it has traced to a quotation of an early researcher in artificial intelligence in 1966. Anthony Oettinger, who was trying to get a computer to manipulate the English language. quoteinvestigator.com/2010/05/04/time-flies-arrow/

One of my fave Groucho lines which despite people's false memories, did NOT air on 'You Bet Your Life' - a woman guest had 12 children. Groucho asked why she had so many. She said: 'I love my husband.' He responded: 'I love my cigar, but I take it out once in a while.' That was understandably NOT going to air.
