In Groucho's interview with Dick Cavett in 1969, Cavett asked him how the industry would remember his brother Chico, with whom he had performed for 40 years. Groucho thought a minute, then replied, "Well, he WAS the man who introduced gonorrhea to the Vaudeville circuit."
:47 - GROUCHO: "Here, gimme that. Let's cut this short." (tears up speech.) So many times I've wanted to do the same thing at stupid company meetings when some boring-as-fuck manager gives a so-called 'motivational' talk...
The straight actors in this scene are absolutely brilliant. You wouldn't think they were acting. In all the Marx Brothers' films in fact. Thanks for uploading.
Wow, this classic Marx Brothers clip is SO funny....Chico saying, "we got 3 feet from landing and ran out of gas, then went back" is SO funny 🤣🤣 then 3rd time got 1/2 way and forgot the plane! 🤣
So many gems in one scene! "Well, we're all right as long as the water supply holds out!" "What do you think happened? We forgot a the airplane!" "You know they may have to build a dam in back of him?"
Chico was a perfect foil for his brother Grouch, and companion for Harpo. I doubt we'll ever see such a trio of genius comedians again. I'll kick in a word for Zeppo as well, who actually wrote many of the gags these guys used. Robert Alda could sing, but he was definitely an outsider. Groucho once said, had Chico not been an addict to gambling, his mind was that of a mathematical calculator. Harpo could barely read, yet he could pick up any instrument and play it well within a few minutes. Groucho had the equivalent of several PhD's from the vast amounts of reading he did. Zeppo held numerous patents for machinery, and Gummo invented a foldable box for groceries! No flies on these boys.
What an interesting prop glass Harpo has when the camera isn't zoomed in. It's funnel-shaped and very narrow on the inside to reduce the amount that he had to drink I guess.
Aaron, that's how great they were- believe it or not- they never ad libbed but it always seemed that way - they had the best writers in the business in their glory days
When the brothers were on broadway, they did ad-lib. In the Coconuts, this carried over with Groucho cracking unexpected jokes which the cameraman struggled to capture. I suspect in later movies they stuck to the script closely, due to production costs.
"They want you to go to City Hall and the mayor is gonna make another speech. We can tear up the mayor's speech when we get there." They should do this at every political convention.
You really need to read Groucho's book;" GROUCHO and ME",....written by Groucho/Julius Marx himself,......nonstop HILARIOUS NONSENSE yet very intelligent humor from Vaudeville up into this TV days!.....best book you have ever read!...........

Uh...no. There were no such entities as "Irving Thalberg Productions" and "Marx Bros.

MGM owned the copyright until 1986 when Turner Entertainment purchased the MGM film library. The copyright is currently held by Turner Entertainment thru Warner Bros.
"Tell them you're not here." "What if they don't believe me?" "They'll believe you when you start talking."
"Of course, you know, this means war!" I can't wait to show this clip to my daughter so she sees where Bugs Bunny got a bunch of his material.

lmao i watched all those interviews too. way too funny
The quips that Groucho interjects are the gold in this sequence..."I'll go out and arrange your bail."
Chico is one of those rare comedians that can make utter nonsense sound like perfect sense.
Yep. That's why the crowd didn't question the authenticity of his story at all.
So can Donald Trump... .
@@shanefistell8890 leave Trump out of it u idiot
@@shanefistell8890 no it's the other way around.
I know Im pretty randomly asking but do anybody know a good place to watch newly released tv shows online?
"I'm going out to arrange your bail." I love Groucho's snark during this scene.
"What do I say?"
"Tell them you're not here."
"Suppose they don't believe me."
"They'll believe you when you start talking."
Ahhh...but how are you going to arrange it? Front to left or right back?
You know they may have to build a dam in back of him.
I had Chico's whole bit memorized when I was a kid.
"Talk fast I see a man in the crowd with a rope"
:47 - GROUCHO: "Here, gimme that. Let's cut this short." (tears up speech.) So many times I've wanted to do the same thing at stupid company meetings when some boring-as-fuck manager gives a so-called 'motivational' talk...
The Chico speech is one of the funniest things I have ever heard in my life!
So surreal and ridiculous.
"This time I take a plenty gas."
and a know whata ma talkin about
@Ch'iidii .... Ah, I had no idea. I watched as a kid and today I watch again.
@Ch'iidii .... LOL thanks for your reasoning. It's all clear now.
"And that's a how we fly across the ocean, we take a the steam boat." Tears
The little head shakes that Harpo does at 2:15 when Chico says what they aren't going to do make this scene next level.
I love Groucho's litter laugh towards the audience at 1:44. Little things like that...hilarious!
This is a classic, comedy at its finest!
In Spain, we listened a very different speech!!! At the end Chico said "And that's how our beards grew!!!!". 😂😂😂😂😂
A veces cambia.
Hahaha - that’s also very funny!!
The straight actors in this scene are absolutely brilliant. You wouldn't think they were acting. In all the Marx Brothers' films in fact. Thanks for uploading.
Hairy Neck frequently they ignored the Marx brothers because they’d improvise a lot
"Gentlemen? It gives me great pleasure to..."
"Quiet!"
Love Groucho's ubruptness!
"What'll you give me to set fire to your beard?" I wasn't expecting that loool
Laugh out out out loud😁
I absolutely love everything about the Marx brothers films.
Marx Brothers are timeless. As long as there are anarchists in this world, there will be a place for them
"Talk fast. I see somebody in the crowd with a rope!"
0:33 - Groucho's face after he closes the door.
This is one of my favorite Marx Brothers moments. Chico's part gets me every time. Thanks for the upload!
Wow, this classic Marx Brothers clip is SO funny....Chico saying, "we got 3 feet from landing and ran out of gas, then went back" is SO funny 🤣🤣 then 3rd time got 1/2 way and forgot the plane! 🤣

Zeppo held several Patents? I had no idea!
Robert Alda?
Don't you mean Allan Jones?
This is one of Chico's best bits
I like how no one finds it suspicious that their hair is a different color then their beards.
Chico is classic, but to be honest, you can't pick a marx brother who is the funniest...they are all crazy
We can rule out Zeppo.
Classic clips of a very different world. And funny too!
‘Talk fast! I see a man in the crowd with a rope.’
Best film. Ever made
"The three greatest aviators, but you notice they're traveling by boat..."
Chico Marx is very underrated. love all Marx Brothers though. its like they threw 4 crazy people in a movie that didnt read the script. genius
Except for the straight guy, Zeppo.
I would say three
Funny enough, many consider Zeppo to be the best.
1:45 probably my favorite joke ever.
Perfect picture at the end.
"So we gotta sit down and we talk it over," lol.
The same way that they have to go back because they forgot the airplane.
By the way, WHN was the actual MGM owned, New York City radio station at the time.
Station is now WEPN on 1050.
What an interesting prop glass Harpo has when the camera isn't zoomed in. It's funnel-shaped and very narrow on the inside to reduce the amount that he had to drink I guess.
You cannot put emphasis how great Marx Brothers were
I'd have love to have been in the room with the script writers ; pure genius not puerile like modern comedy !! 😀

I want one of those beards for xmas!
"They want you to go to City Hall and the mayor is gonna make another speech. We can tear up the mayor's speech when we get there."
They should do this at every political convention.
lol
watch the handle of the pitcher of water. Moves by itself.
Italo Balbo at the Chicago City Hall, 1933.
Atsa Nice !!

Of course you know this means war!

FUNNY AS FUCK
I wonder if this scene was a swipe at Charles Lindbergh
Build the dam
Groucho= I'm gonna go arrange Your Bail. 😂
I'm disappointed by the ending of this - they forgot to steal the microphones.
Lol i just realised you can reverse the speech at 4:02 and it makes sense
SquashedMan That backwards audio gimmick was brilliant
Do you know what it says?
Was there ever anything so wacky and hilarious?
Still made more sense than the Biden-Trump debate.
i hope you realize by now - ALL BIDENS FAULT 😆
IMPEACH HIM
LOCK POLOSI IN AN ASSYLUM
BAN THE DEMS 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
Ahh...but how are you going to arrange it? Front to left or right back?
The Marx Brothers were handed a script and made changes throughout the filming.
It's Rubio!!
Irisheddy I think the sketch is about Italo Balbo.
1:24 I’ve always wondered what this line from Groucho meant.
Probably was teasing Chico.
Late response but I think he meant something along the lines of "hurry up, they're ready to hang you". May be wrong, I'm not a native speaker.
I don't care I like chico
Was Harpo really mute?
No, just a great gimmick. Google, Harp Marx speaks and there are a few clips of him speaking.
😁
I would suggest you make your speech a little more direct than your brother's, .
Groucho is always so rude to everyone
CHRIST is the only way to heaven 🙏.
So Jewish people like the Marx Brothers are not in heaven? You sir are a jackass.
How mhch water does harpo drink?
I wonder if Harpo had to pee afterwards.
hahaha probably
He probably has a catheter in one of his many coat-pockets.
You know I was thinking the same thing. : )
That's what Groucho meant when he said you would need to build a dam behind him.
"Night at the Opera"?
I would suggest you make your speech a little more direct than your brother's :-)
I'm going to go and arrange your bail.
if they have no gas how can they go back
Have you never heard of gliding ? You thicko !
Sawney Bean 8 years later. Thanks.
No offence intended. 🤣
You do know he speaking about the Bullshit space mission that never existed
of course you realize this means war!
Telling my kids this was Fidel Castro.
it's not supposed to make sense
Yes, I am a Marxist 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who cares? It's already a big lie!! He's not the brightest bulb you can put in the lamp to begin with!!
Fidel Castro!
