CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Pinky (Harpo Marx) pretends to be Firefly's (Groucho Marx) reflection, matching his every move - until Chicolini (Chico Marx) ruins the effect.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
In this 1933 Marx Brothers film, the mythical country of Freedonia is broke and on the verge of revolution. Mrs. Teasdale (Margaret Dumont), Freedonia's principal benefactress, will lend the country 20 million dollars if the president withdraws and places the government in the hands of the "fearless, progressive" Rufus T. Firefly (Groucho Marx). At his inauguration, Firefly shows up late, insults everyone in sight, and sings a song about how he intends to abuse his power. Naturally, the crowd cheers wildly. Meanwhile, Ambassador Trentino (Louis Calhern) of neighboring Sylvania schemes to oust Firefly and take over Freedonia himself. To gather enough evidence to discredit Firefly, he sends his most trusted spies, Chicolini (Chico Marx) and Pinky (Harpo Marx). Five minutes after they show up in Freedonia, both spies become important members of Firefly's cabinet, though Chicolini keeps his day job as a peanut vendor. Firefly eventually declares war on Sylvania, an absurd farrago with Firefly changing uniforms from scene to scene, Chicolini going to the other side because the food is better, and Pinky parading around the battlefield with a sandwich board reading "Join the army and see the navy."

I laugh out loud every time I see this, especially when Groucho spins and Harpo just throws his hands out knowing Groucho can't see while spinning. Often imitated, never duplicated.
I absolutely love that moment - cracks me up every time too :D
1:32
Lucy did it well
Geniuses..
That bit always makes me laugh. Genius🤣
I like how Harpo seems to get progressively worse at it as time goes on.
Yes! You can tell he is about to crack it up in laughing.
Worse at what
@@adonaiyah2196 At pretending to be a mirror.
😭😂
Also love how Grouchy thinks he has fooled his mirror image with the white vs black hat - and then Harpo points the finger back at him when he puts on a white hat - clearly a bit carried away by his triumph. This is a masterly crafted gimmick.
This has to be the single greatest piece of physical comedy of all time!
Okay, they got me when the second white hat showed up. Well played, 1933.
I love how the glass in the mirror shatters after Harpo falls to the floor!
And vanishes immediately!
I like how the pieces of broken mirror are suddenly gone
Exactly
the swapping of places with the different hats....
and double reflection....he first pushes out of sight.... ....marx brothers messin' with the laws of physics....
still chuckled - and it's about the 400th time I've watched it....
sincerely i think this is one of greatest escene of history
The moment where they switch places (twice!) is one of the best jokes in the history of comedy
This is a masterpiece of the supreme level!
Still funny @ 90 yrs old. Such an iconic movie.
Amazing how they all looked so much like Groucho.
Brothers!
Apparently they all looked so much alike, back when they were performing on stage, whenever one of them would be sick, one of the others would dress in his costume and make-up and perform his part for him.
aspilurch True Bro’s!
I forget which movie it was, but Groucho became sick at one point and Zeppo stepped in to fill in for him. I think it was a night scene and Groucho may again have been in his night shirt. Can anyone confirm and possibly link?
There’s an episode of “I’ve Got a Secret where Harpo shows up. His secret? It’s really Chico
Top 5 movie scenes of all time. Don't even bother arguing with me because it IS the truth.
Lol. Correct actually.
oh you know it buddy
One of the most classic moments in movie history
one of the best movie sequences ever
This is the very original mirror gag that every comedy movie and show would imitate from then on.
it's actually in several earlier silent movies: The Marathon with Harold Lloyd, Seven Year's Bad Luck with Max Linder and The Floorwalker with Chaplin. And it was used in vaudeville a lot.
So many subtle, genius moments in this.
That Mirror gag is still alive for several decades.
The wrong/right hat is the peak of this fabulous routine.
I just watched this movie for the first time last week. I LOVED this part. I grew up watching Lucy and Harpo doing this bit but never saw this until last week. :D
its always a blast to see the source for the jokes still used from time to time in modern pop culture
80+ years old and it still made me laugh out loud
In an episode of I Love Lucy , Lucille Ball and Harpo Marx recreated this scene.
They did it justice.
How does it never get old?
because it is timeless and genius....
@1:34 that fake spin made me die of laughter as a kid, and 20 years later, i still love that one little bit the best lol
It’s hard to imagine that with this humorous and civilized people in the west, the most savage event could occur
I saw this in the cinema today, and laughed so much. Pure surreal anarchy.
Life was good when I watched this as a kid
When my dad was alive he would crack up on this scene and the sanity clause contract.
"There aint no Sanity Claus!"
If you need a good belly laugh, want to cheer someone up, you can't do better than this.
Julius 🤣(Groucho) and Adolph (Harpo) Marx, who with their brothers, Leonard (Chico) and Herbert (Zeppo) greatest team of Comedic GENIUSES, EVER
This is what talent is.
This is better than 100% comedies today
Funniest scene ever in the history of comedy.
This goes down as one of my all time favorite movie scenes... could you imagine being on the set when they shot this?
Apparently the crew was laughing so hard they had to film it without sound
It's amazing how funny this scene is almost 90 years after it was made, while almost all the other comedies from that era (e.g. Chaplin) give you the impression that they were made for an audience with the sense of humor of a six year old.
I first saw it in my twenties in a theatre in San Diego. It's a good thing it's silent, because this one fellow was laughing hysterically all through it.
Does need music though.
The spin is ingenious, but my favourite part is when they first walk out of each other's sight, smiling and nodding as if to say "OK, pretty good so far, but we'll just see how clever you really are". What I wouldn't give to time travel back to 1933 and see this in the company of a live audience!
you still can - these films get shown in cinemas on occasion. Nothing like seeing them with a crowd of people.
@@premanadi Something to keep in mind. Thanks, premanadi!
Best comedy sketch of all time
This scene never gets old
proof you can be hilarious while remaining silent
I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. The director of Coconuts was laughing so hard during filming that they built a sound-proof glass box for him in which he stayed while the camera was rolling. This way his laughter wasn't recorded.
One of the reasons that Sam Wood was hired to direct A Night at the Opera was that he had no sense of humour whatsoever and would thus cause no problems during the shoot.
Greatest and most important moment in comedy history!!!
Just admit it, you were so caught up in the moment you forgot which one was Groucho.
I remember seeing a reenactment of this scene on I Love Lucy. It was Harpo and Lucy. It was so funny.😂 The Marx Brothers were hilarious!
Pinky's real genius here was getting rid of all that broken mirror glass before Firefly got up there.
Ronald Bittner
This scene is pure genius, and for being done in total silence, it's still one of the most laugh-out-loud routines I've ever seen. And the business with the hat. Hilarious. I'd have loved to see how an audience at that time, seeing this for the first time, reacted to it.
What a brilliant scene, 20 years ahead of its time...easily!
It's actually based on an old vaudeville routine, which had already been done previously in a couple of silent films.
Mate. I've just made an idiot of myself laughing out loud in the office.
I don't know if this is the original for this joke, but it's definitely the best.
It's amazing how they managed to film a mirror so much without the camera being reflected even once.
Last time I saw Duck Soup in a theater among an audience, was at a Classic Cinema in London in the late 1960's. Finally realized the expression 'to have the audience rolling in the aisles' was actually based on reality. Many in the audience lost all self control and fell out of their seats holding their sides to keep from 'splitting their guts' with hysterical, unstoppable laughter. Masters of the art and science of comedy.! What passes for comedy today seems merely ill-disguised, mean-spirited anger and iconoclastic rage with almost nothing to do with clever, enjoyable comedy and laughter.
Watching these films with a large audience is the way they were meant to be seen, because the laughter is infectious. Sadly, most people now only see them alone, on a tiny screen. I try to go any time they are shown in a theater.
They need to bring this back to cinemas.
Where did all the broken glass go?
They sweeped it up.
Alan Mann England?
Alan Mann lol
+The Vicious Chicken of Bristol Too movie hell and plot holes.
+The Vicious Chicken of Bristol Into Harpo's pockets.
Groucho was probably the first guy to twerk on film
Unsurpassed Comedy brilliance!
If Chico and Harpo disguised like Groucho even in other movies, they would have looked like twins 😅
Brilliant comic timing. The Marx brothers were way ahead of their time.
I love when Harpo takes his hat off a little too late.
Now this I got to watch with the kids and it was a lot of fun. From Vaudville to film, just great.
I love how Blue Man Group silently picked this up as a gag. I just wish more people recognized it.
I don't know how that was possible to have two identical people, but I can tell you, I think someone could do a similar gag to this on Deviantart through comic strips.
Awesome!!!....watching this again, the last time was in 1972....even better better than ever!!!
That crazy dance is all the rage nowadays. LOL
This is exactly the same thing your stalker does to you every time you pass that fake mirror.
one of the best movies ever
If you're not hysterically laughing by 1:35 there's something wrong with you. Best scene ever created in comedy history
This must be crap! No swearing No shouting to the audience " Lets hear it for these two( 3) great wazuks!!!" Its absolutely wonderful .I recorded the movie this week not having seen it for years when my parents took me the PICture house . Living alone these days I quite simpy laughed my head off. Good job my house is detached coz neighbours would have called the police. Bob Monkhouse would love this eh Bob? thks for posting
Harpo's face after he fools everyone by putting the white hat on is hilarious. This one scene Makes everything Adam Sandler has done look like crap.
Genius sheer genius
One of the original classic moments in movie comedy.
I got to watch this for drama homework. Thanks Miss T :)
A funny classic scene. I laugh all the time at this scene.
This is supremely hilarious.
1:32
Slays me every time.
I will never get tired of laughing at that scene lol!
you are on the money haha
An absolutely brilliant piece of comedy, all the more for the classic face of Groucho Marx mirrored so well by his own brother. Geniuses who made this world a better place.
1:25 so The Marx Brothers got the duckwalk down before Chuck Berry/Angus Young eh?
Lol 1:35 is my favourite part.
me too!
Great actor performance indeed
Literally laughed out loud.
Every time I see it , I spot something 'new' ¡!
Awe these old comedies will never end up getting old.
Made a few GIFS from this classis scene as none existed. Be available through FB & twitter
Escena magistral irrepetible
Nostalgia Critic and Garfield 2 brought me here.
This sequence is all kinds of genius.
Japanese comedian "shimura ken" so studied this move great origin👏
Good clip to cheer us up during the lock down
I swear some of the Marx Bros could've passed for twins with the right setup.
1:26 is that where chuck berry got the move from?
wiisalute I think that's why it's called the Duck Walk
It’s easy to know which one is Harpo because he honks his horn
Brilliant, pure brilliance.
Groucho through the looking glass.
Damn what a respectful tribute from the Marx's to the Max Linder's Seven years
Thanks for uploading this! Many shows that my friends and I watch have had homages to this scene, and it's great to have a clip to send them to show them what I mean!
I see that Seth Macfarlane referes to this scene when Stewie and Hitler meet when he and Brian getting Mort back from WWII Europe🤣
First time I've ever seen that and I found it hillarious!
The gorilla costume scene in the first Pink Panther film, a remake of the above routine and a tribute to it, was almost as good...
How many times did they have to do this scene when one of the brothers screwed up😊
this scene really shows the audience that they really were brothers
Pure comedic genius.
