- NOTE: There are only two couples competing in this episode.
Unusually for Groucho, he seems so genuinely fascinated by Col. Stapp that he hardly even tries to crack a joke during their interview, asking mostly straightforward questions.
COUPLE #1: Lt. Colonel John Paul Stapp, fastest sled rider in the world (over 600 miles per hour!) / Peggy O'Kelly Lickell, who has a "double toenail"
COUPLE #2: Thomas P. Ryan / Gerda Stol, Dutch airline stewardess

great seeing Dr. Stapp on this show. We interviewed Col. Stapp for the BBC show Horizon and he also took us out to Holloman AFB to see the rocket sled in action. What a great day.
Oh, God! Groucho just keeps delivering those one-liners: It's very difficult to get acquainted once you're married!
On Colonel Stapp's 600 mph ride he hit 46.2 G Force and for a brief instant his body weighed 7700 lbs. He was temporary blind for several days. After this he kept on reaching for what kind of limits a human body could achieve.
600mph to zero, in one and four-tenths seconds... wow!
@@mikeburlison5085 He had blood coming out of the retinas of his eyes, broken wrist and lost fillings out of his teeth. yet he wants to prove they could go faster yet. Meet him anywhere you would never know you were walking past a hero.
That's hectic
60 years on this earth and I've just now found the comic genius that is Groucho Marx!
Be sure to watch the movies. Although all of them are the greatest of all time.... night at the opera is exceptional. It has kitty Carlisle.
But like i said ...they're all so good its hard to have a favorite
This people had proper attire, well mannered, class, no tattoos. Clean sense of humor.
Yes Daniel, they all looked like polite and refined ladies and gentlemen tastefully dressed and with a great attention to good grooming and appearance. Today's crowd all look like SLOB"S and act like Barbarian's ! They wear rags for body covering, they swear like troopers, and have vulgar behavior, and rude obnoxious attitudes !
😊
😊😊
Groucho Marx is the best entertainer on all You Bet your Life shows..love watching all the shows ..never a dull moment..keeps me laughing..
Excellent quality print, as prints go, thanks again for uploading these groucho classics!
Thank you for sharing thi, I enjoyed it! Groucho was truly one of the greatest, wittiest comic that ever lived.
Col. Stapp -- actually, Dr. Stapp -- was a very bright man. His brother was a very close friend of mine.
Was Col. Stapp gay?
@@cksu1186 No, but I heard your boyfriend is.
@@justplainbrad7713
I don't have boyfriends. But, Trump and I grab pussies not dicks.🖕🤣
@@justplainbrad7713 he was your father.
"And if you're real lucky, you can see into the next car!" LOL!
That first woman (Peggy O'Kelly McKell?) is absolutely fantastic. Just amazing how Marx tries to nix her position on women's issues as she stands up to him.
She was super
Yes, amazing sense of humour and zest for life too! I loved her. She really had something about her.
anyone who ever claims that Groucho was sexist needs to refer to this show to prove them wrong. he was way ahead of his time saying women should be president and especially saying it would put an end to wars.
in clinton's case that wouldn't have worked as she would probably get us involved in plenty of war
Groucho wasn't serious. Everyone knows a woman President may spell the end of civilization as we know it. This young lady was courageous and correct. If she said that today, the leftists would cancel her.
@@notphilivey Excellent point! It is a sad reality of the present era that the liberal "Democratic" Party has lost its way, becoming a radical anarchic party of the Globalists. When they aren't attempting to destroy their own country they are trying to 'Cancel' others with differing opinions to theirs. But that's okay, we "elected" 'Sleepy Joe', he will solve all of the world's problems; if they pay him a large enough of a bribe, that is. Especially since he is "the most popular President in U.S. history, how stupid do they think we are!
@@MrMenefrego1 That last part, "how stupid do they think we are!"
What is that, a new form of punctuation...using "!" instead of "?"
"How stupid do they think we are", is a question...in my world.
Tell me Jeff, "how stupid are you"?
You elected Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, G.H.W. Bush, G.W. Bush, and finally, the the pièce de résistance, Donald Trump.
So, a reply to, "How stupid do they think we are"?
Answer: Very stupid! Which is a difficult thing to explain away.
Only one thing could have made you look even more stupid, and that's if you had voted for Hilary.
@@justplainbrad7713 Interesting that you know so much about a complete stranger, but then again liberals know everything. Even though I was underage I still managed to "elect Richard Nixon" LOL! An amazing feat. I'm a Nederlander Conservative Libertarian, not a DemonRat, like yourself. Feel free to Have a loverly day & GFY. 😬
@@MrMenefrego1
Henry Kissinger you are not!
In 1963, I borrowed (stole) a 1957 413 DeSoto from my uncles used car lot on a Sunday Morning and drove it out of State and raced it at Colchester Connecticut dragstrip, I was 15 years old. Lol, that DeSoto was pretty fast.
@Art, please create a blog, so we need not suffer your life history here.
@@lancebaker1374 Grow up, the guy was just sharing a story! Like you never did anything bad before!
That lady has a head on her shoulders
Ricky Sirbaugh right! Both of them.
Love, love Groucho !! He is quite funny. And not in a sleazy way. Im 79' and i miss that type of clean, but very funny humor. " Thanks for the memories".
That stewardess---wow, what a woman!
Gerda Stol b. Jan 7, 1927 d.July 21, 2003 Sussex New Jersey
She reminds me of Floor Jansen of Nightwish. Another Dutch woman. What a babe indeed.
Yep the prettiest gals are always for Holland lol :)
Beautiful woman with fine classic features and charming Western European personality ! A Classy lady !
@@ricklane8554 Agree, they are tall, slim and blonde/red haired, strong and very independent.
Best show on youtube..........
Talk about a sign of the times..."Anywhere you want to go in the world, except the iron curtain countries..."
Wow I saw a recent documentary on him- 42 G’s. This man was amazing and lucky to be alive- and in one piece.
Groucho "If KLM keep interfering with marriage like that they will wake up one day and realise they are short on passengers" ... so brilliant to took the audience a few seconds to realise how funny & clever it was.
lol still over my head
A lot of Groucho's wit was very subtle but when he'd get on a roll he had an intellect as sharp as a rapier! All of it was good natured and it wasn't mean spirited like today's comic's and their vile & hurtful nature !
That was extreme. Remember seeing reports of these tests. Very frightening as we also saw crash dummies on TV.
I wonder if the girl who took the place of the duck was bored sitting up there waiting for someone to say "shoe" or "door" or some such.
people really seemed to be proud of the companies they worked
Both couples maxed out! That’s pretty tough.
4m13s - fascinating discussion on women in senior political roles. They had the advantage of no social media. They had different opinions and strongly defended them in a civil and respectful fashion - admirable. Interesting that a woman who was obviously confident, spontaneous and not at all nervous about being on national TV had such an opinion about US president ... I think she would have made a good president :)
Never seen this one. Many thanks for the upload.
You're very welcome! This is a tough series to keep track of which episodes you've seen before (that's why I'm spending a lot of time writing the descriptions).
Groucho Marx - You Bet Your Life Much appreciated.
thx for all the work and the grat descriptions. Do yo as well insert the candidates to imdb? Recently found out that a lot are listed which is quite great for every comedy nerd and for me as a fan. I wish had made me a list about the episodes i saw.
Christopher Kloe No, I wasn't the one who updated the imdb, someone else who was watching this channel used the info (which is fine with me, of course!) I can't remember who it was at this point.
Yet another awesome episode! If "YBYL" were a drug I'd be addicted! It looked like everyone missed in innuendo in Groucho's joke about "kissing a Democrat", meaning that HE was a Democrat.
I think you meant "YBYL" not "YBTL."
j.d. di giusto a democrat then has nothing to do with a democrat now. Just go look what JFK advocated for.
listen to how she says "ouuh" right after
@@C_R_O_M________ When did I indicate that it was?
When Democrats were sane.
As usual this show was great. However those car commercials are incredible -- makes me want to test drive one and then go buy one
Gerda the prettiest woman on earth, from Holland ofcourse!! xxx. She is 94 now , wow. xxx Gerda de knapste vrouw van de wereld uit Holland natuurlijk!! xxx Ze is 94 nu, wauw xxx .
Aww I noticed she passed away in 2003 :-(
the cars back then looked pretty cool actually...
Love this show,always makes me laugh!😂😆🤭
The 650 miles per hour guy would have made a brilliant ventriloquist- even talking normally his lips hardly ever move!
Fenneman lost track of the secret word winnings quite often. lol
He was totally befuddled by the kiss from Miss Holland 1956.
When you think about it …$440.00 went a long way
Fetterman
Thank you very much for this upload. Gerda Stol was a very witty contestant and English not her mother tongue.
Yes, KLM is still a very good airline and my personal favorite.
27m44s Groucho "The secret word" George "Well, that I've lost track of" Love the rough edges ... one for the record book and one for Groucho.
8m16s - interesting comment about seat belts in cars ... long before we had them in Australia.
Does she know about K. Harris? 😬
Oh man, just missed the vacation and the car by 67 years!
✌️🤣👍
I wonder who won the contest, and where they went on vacation?
I love how they have all these gorgeous women and Groucho flirts with them without using sexual innuendo , unlike today . There were limits .
Mulholland Drive, the old joke back in the day was it was nicknamed after the LA sportscaster Dick Lane;
He did his speed record with no helmet no goggles open air cockpit just incredible
The stewardess looks like she was having a bit of a problem with the language barrier, in particular understanding Groucho's humor.
Thanks to professor
Giambruno I knew the answer was Halliburton 😅...my old Hi school geography teacher..
This was 70 something years ago. People had a little more respect and manners back then.
Groucho looks better as an older man
Just a little correction: Gerda Stol was Dutch, not Swedish.
You're right-- thanks for the correction! I edited the video description accordingly.
Groucho Marx - You Bet Your Life KLM being the Dutch national airline, it sort of stands to reason she'd be Dutch.
HansDelbruck53 Yeah, I'm more inclined to go by the fact that she identified herself as Dutch than use deductive reasoning based on what airline she worked for. But thanks. . . I guess.
Groucho Marx - You Bet Your Life More akin to de-ducktive reasoning considering the mascot of the show. She sounds and looks a lot like a gal I spent time with in Amsterdam many years ago during a layover, so I wasn't surprised to learn that she was Dutch. KLM is a fine airline, by the way.
I've watched every episode on UA-cam. There are still many more that are not here if this show ran for 10 years. Where are the other episodes?
That was the most political episode I have watched yet - and it is difficult to imagine things like this coming up so charmingly and respectfully today.
I've always loved the Marx Brothers.
75% sure that the girl who comes down during latter half of segment 2 instead of the duck was a prior contestant. anyone out there able to track that one down? i just cannot for the life of me place it.
I adore Groucho ❤
"if women controlled the politics of the World there'd never be any war again", Margaret Thatcher..."hold my wine".
Today everything would be politically incorrect.
Or just "correct".
It was just stupid and small minded then. Go Groucho! You were ahead of your time. Glad to see behind the sweet face if that woman were some very ugly opinions.
I wonder where whoever won that vacation went? I don’t think another game show offered one anywhere (except behind the Iron Curtain), before.
26m18s - in text, iron-curtain states not excluded :)
You can go anywhere im the world you want (outside the iron curtain countries)!
The first female contestant (anti-woman president) grew up to be either Phyllis Schlafly or Martha Mitchell.
Gerda kinda looks like a cross between Meg Ryan and Alicia Silverstone.
Miley onDisney She looks a like a blond Floor Jansen. She’s a babe!
24:41 what does George Fenneman say to Groucho???
The money today would be around five times these amounts.
Did attractive have a different meaning back then?
DAM FLA none
Please explain
Was it a Dogg sled any one knows please answer
Love You Grocco
Yay grocco... lol
I wonder if any1 ever won the prize
Funny some people back in the 50s were against seat belts..
Can you imagine the low prices on goods in those days? Houses and property could be found for under 10k. Cars were only a few grand if not just a couple grand. We made stuff, built stuff, and individuality hadn’t created the useless vain monsters that exist today. I’d prefer the society back then over the pathetic modern society today!
Factoid: The average yearly income for a US family in 1956 was around $4,800.
In the US in 2019, women can learn a lot from contestant Peggy O'Kelly Lickell!
I don't
Hello
Your all missing the point! a trip anywhere(except a Communist country) and HEMI De Soto!
+Kenneth Young Jr That is true Kenneth!!! The 330 cid 'Firedome' engine... Those cars are worth a fortune now, because of their interesting lines and engineering...
Growling would be a no no these days.
Groucho was historically so wrong on women and how they wouldn't want to lead wars. Many queens (Spain, England) did so, as well as Margaret Thatcher (admittedly one of the greatest leaders Great Britain ever had).
Peggy is cute
Groucho was right about a woman president. Some of the greatest leaders have been women. Golda Meier Margaret Thatcher Angela Merkel to name a few. Btw Groucho was a lifelong Democrat who would have thought Trump was a jackass
debatable
he wouldn't have thought anything of you
What sane person wouldn't think he's that nasty word?
The greatest American generation
#Kamala
2023. Many women doing great things. In politics at that. Glad we don’t have her attitude anymore.
A sweetie and a republican and happy there were sane Americans back in the day😊
There hasn't been a woman president as of 2020. Would maybe be a great thing. But we sure don't need Hillary Clinton that is for sure. Any woman would be fine but not Hillary
not in America, but America's not the whole World lol
I agree with Peggy the US President should be a man.
