Long live the greatest comedy group of all time! Forever timeless and funny.
saw Duck Soup a few months ago and was completely baffled at the striking difference between other comedy films at the time and how funny they still are today
Their earlier movies were funnier because the Hayes Production Code hadn't taken effect until 1934. And while A NIGHT AT THE OPERA (1935) was a great start for the boys into the Code era, and even their weakest movies afterwards are still watchable, their later films just aren't as funny. It's also likely that as they started aging, they reached a point where they were now past their prime; all of them still great entertainers into their old age, but no longer able to sustain the rigors of making uproariously funny films by the time the 1940's rolled around.
When I was young most Saturday mornings after cartoons one of their movies came on. I loved every one of them so much!
I'm 52
Greatest performers in movie history
When I was little, the Marx Bros. had me laughing so hard I 👋 couldn't breathe. Still love the boys, though!
Was not a "YBYL' fan. Groucho often seemed just a bit mean. Who knows?
Groucho in his private life was a bit lonely and miserable. Hard for anyone who knew him to want to be around him because of his acerbic ways. I don't think he really meant to live up to his name as a "grouch" but he just didn't know how to relate on a human level to those closest to him. I don't mean to say that Groucho was absolutely unbearable, and he did have his circle of friends that he often ate out with, like George Burns, Jack Benny, Al Jolson, etc. But he didn't relate well with his daughter, and by the time of his death he and his daughter had been long estranged. It's sad, really.
Look at this almanac
Best comedy team ever.
And his name was Chick-O, not Cheek-O. He got his nickname because he chased girls, a.k.a. chicks.
I can't help myself, re: the "Chico" pronunciation! I know better, but I STILL vocalize the name "Cheek-oh!" Doesn't help that there's a town in my state (northern California) called Chico, which everyone pronounces ""Cheek-oh!" 🤣
I don't know why my sister hates the Marx bros... unlucky for her I got a dvd with their first 5 films 😆😅🤣😂
Believe it or not they were hot with the ladies! Especially Chico who was a tremendous gambler and big ladies man!
ahhhhh its pronounced Chick-oh lol
not cheek-o - it's chick-o
lmao everyone on this thread be like ITS CHICK-OH not CHEEK-OH LMAO
Actually there was 6
You had to dig deep to fill this time and avoid International Women's Day. Shame on you all!
Women aren't quickly on their way to EXTINCTION. But elephants are. Where's your complaint about that ugly joke heard in this piece as it aired on TV?
Jada
Grow up!
