Wagstaff... I saved my college graduation cap and gown just so I could be Groucho as "Wagstaff" for Halloween parties. Considering that the early Marx Bros. movies were "test-marketed" as stage shows before they were filmed, I watch this performance and think, "How cool it must have been to be in a front row seat and see this performance..." Addendum: Groucho Marx, Bugs Bunny, and Popeye the Sailor... The three greatest Libertarian Heroes, real or imagined, in Human History.
That's just how Hollywood was back then. They hadn't quite separated themselves completely from the idea that actors didn't have to be on stage in film.
Absolutely! Everyone is so eager to cast those with different opinions as "contrarian" or "obstructionist", they abuse this great performance in claiming it portrays their opponents. Take a break, watch a funny movie!
This was the second and last film in which Zeppo appeared as the male love interest. He was so enormously successful at it that he was never cast in that role again.
And from that moment on, the trustees started submitting their propositions in reverse psychology. "We propose we DO NOT spend a hundred thousand dolllars on new additions." "I'm against it!" "Okay, looks like the proposition to NOT spend a thousand dollars on renovations has been shot down. Fork up the cash." "Wait, wha?"
"You clearly are looking for a scrap -more self indulgence you see-but I`m not remotely interested in your nonsense & will not respond further". Looking forward to your next response.
I think that the first few minutes of this would be a good ringback tone for to all of the unsolicited sales people that call me. If I didn't put my name on your list... "I'm Against It".
That would only make Rove shrewd. Most honest conservatives prefer Goldwater, unsuccessful though he was in his race for the presidency. Disclaimer: I am not a conservative.
@jackwilsontv haha i'm doing this dance for a dance clas and the way i taught my partners were to lift back leg up with heel pointing up, turn same leg down, land on that foot, then same on the opposite. i learned how to do to it after watching it once or twice lol you find yourself doing when your bored lol
Unbelievable....one of the most glorious pieces of vintage comedy to be found on YT, & just look at how many sad fools have used it as an Obama v Republicans forum to bash each other over the head with. If you people want to do that kind of thing, go right ahead but do it in the Political forum area of YT - just stay the hell away from clips of the magnificent Marx Brothers, leaving the rest of us to enjoy their immortal foolery without your misplaced self indulgence....
Thank science for the time machines we take for granted! Dick Cavett said it best, not having Groucho, would be like a color missing from the rainbow. OR something like that. On Bob Costas show.
Did you see his dance moves? I think he stole some of them from Damita Jo Freeman! Watch at 1:56 on, and compare to (James Brown on Soul Train, Super bad) Damita Jo Freeman
Henry Kissinger, Karl Rove (brilliant strategist whether you agree with his tactics or not), William F. Buckley Jr. And those are just off the top of my head, your ignorance is really quite astounding.
He dances so gracefully!
Happy 130th birthday Groucho Marx. You are a legend in our hearts.

Libertarian? Hopefully you're confusing language because if not get your political foofoo outta my marx borthers content. I'm against it .

Go, and never darken my towels again.

@spookyscastle7269 they were pretty political dude.

Groucho, my hero!
Gayle McKennon Mine too!
I love the dude behind Zeppo who's just barely managing to keep himself from laughing out loud.
I wondered if anyone else ever attempted his dancing style? You got to admit, it's unmistakably Groucho.
Whatever comes out of Congress, I'm against it!
Nothing has changed 7 years later, masked one...
"Whatever it is, I'm against it." 😆😆😆 catchy tune lol
Awesome!! Keep exploring. There's a wealth of culture out there and the farther back you go, the richer it gets.
this Groucho Marx is no ordinary comedian , extra-extraordinary.
Mr. Marx is a comic genius.
what a song what an artist lol
If I ever become President this will be my State of The Union address.
My goodness, I needed that!
Absolutely! Everyone is so eager to cast those with different opinions as "contrarian" or "obstructionist", they abuse this great performance in claiming it portrays their opponents. Take a break, watch a funny movie!
Of course, Groucho always played a kind of sophisticated con man.
This was the second and last film in which Zeppo appeared as the male love interest. He was so enormously successful at it that he was never cast in that role again.
Splendid, Professor!!!
THUMBS UP FOR GROUCHO MARX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Groucho!!!!!
I always loved this movie and song.
He's not a crap singer, he has a wonderful singing voice and he's very talented. So don't talk that was about Julius Henry Marx.
This goes very nicely with 'Busy Doing Nothing'.
Between them these two songs sum up my attitude towards many things.
And from that moment on, the trustees started submitting their propositions in reverse psychology.
"We propose we DO NOT spend a hundred thousand dolllars on new additions."
"I'm against it!"
"Okay, looks like the proposition to NOT spend a thousand dollars on renovations has been shot down. Fork up the cash."
"Wait, wha?"
the world's greatest deadpan snarker bar NONE
"You clearly are looking for a scrap -more self indulgence you see-but I`m not remotely interested in your nonsense & will not respond further".
Looking forward to your next response.
Brooklyn Avenue the one and only.
The one and only the one and only
Groucho.
I think that the first few minutes of this would be a good ringback tone for to all of the unsolicited sales people that call me.
If I didn't put my name on your list... "I'm Against It".
"The faculty can keep their seats. There'll be no diving for this cigar!"
Je suis Marxiste, tendance Groucho
"The Hater Anthem" of the century. I love it!
@Mox912 It means they have good taste in movies... and there has been a general theme of horse to all the songs and this song is fro horse feathers.
There's a joke right before this that I constantly use on my friends. Some of them have a better sense of humor than others.
Two people got caught up in the spirit of the song.
groucho marx deserves to be on mount rushmore!
And yet few, if not none, could match him even until now, Contemporary History.
Watch and intimate perfromance of "Poor Man" and "Curs in the Weeds" by Horse Feathers. The vid if featured on my profile!
"I think you know what the trustees can do with their suggestions."
Stick them up their butt? Sounded that way, never seen the movie. Great scene
0:05-0:31, Fox News logic with opposing viewpoints
It *is* Mark Levin, he even used to brag about it occasionally
That would only make Rove shrewd. Most honest conservatives prefer Goldwater, unsuccessful though he was in his race for the presidency. Disclaimer: I am not a conservative.
THE BEST MARX BROTHERS SONG YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hooray for Captain Spaulding is mine.
Groucho's great. He's above politics.
From now on this will be my theme song! lmao
@FFightingSpirit All I know is " I'm against it ". The Marx Bros. are true comedy geniuses
Thank you for your concern, sonny boy; yes washing`s all done now.
The Democrat theme song starting in 1999. I had an constituent email stating just that and they were true to their word.
how do things always get so crazy?
how do u do that leg kick at 1:54
I couldn't tell you, but it's amazing.
Can we at least agree that BOTH parties act this way towards one another?
@jackwilsontv haha i'm doing this dance for a dance clas and the way i taught my partners were to lift back leg up with heel pointing up, turn same leg down, land on that foot, then same on the opposite. i learned how to do to it after watching it once or twice lol you find yourself doing when your bored lol
@chettmansberger Maybe they decided to play Groucho for a minute!
Things don't change much do they.
Sounds like a theme song fro the Dimms
wow i didnt know harpo marx created the lap dance!
@saxcoltrane
Aren't we all?
LOL! could not have said it better myself.
@cconat Only if they're singing it about the GOTbaggers that signed "The Pledge".
CEASE THIS POLITICAL PRATTLE!!
@rodrigovenom And so culture takes on a postmodern turn when people start to learn of the Marx Brothers through MCR.
It’s the house maga team!!
...This exchange ended weeks ago, why are you digging it up?
@sundragonra412 No, I mean the one where you ask someone to repeat something, and then when they do you say: But you just said that!
I wanted to. I have trouble tolerating when some confuses shrewdness with wisdom. I just had to say something.

@TiteresDeCarton you can't be against it! I'M against it!
Haaa!! Americans won`t get that - I`m in New Zealand, but I do! Again, I say, Haaa!! ^_^
Groucho: 🎵I always get my man!🎵
Stan: or woman! 👆
Reg: why don’t u shut up about women Stan? Ur putting us off! 🤦♂️
o.O oh MCR.... very funny :)
Came here after reading The Alphabet House
1:52 Like Shakespeare said to Nathan Hale....
Most biographers, I think, reports that Groucho was liberal, in real life that is.
I'm against it
Here's how our Republicans and Democrats are handling the debt ceiling plans submitted by each other.
@saxcoltrane: Me too!
Who's against this video?
What's with the political debate on this video? Personally i don't care what either party says, I'm against all of it.
Any critic of this song...I'm against it!
Thank science for the time machines we take for granted!
Dick Cavett said it best, not having Groucho, would be like a color missing from the rainbow.
OR something like that. On Bob Costas show.
Well, if Groucho supports it, then I'm Not against it. So there.
Je suis une Marxiste -- une type Groucho :P
To be fair, Paul Ryan's plan shouldn't be taken seriously at all.
Did you see his dance moves? I think he stole some of them from Damita Jo Freeman! Watch at 1:56 on, and compare to (James Brown on Soul Train, Super bad) Damita Jo Freeman
lol he stole them from her 40 years earlier
Henry Kissinger, Karl Rove (brilliant strategist whether you agree with his tactics or not), William F. Buckley Jr. And those are just off the top of my head, your ignorance is really quite astounding.
@DrSamba1 Oh I agree
Yes, now you are.
Call me whatever you like. You cannot refute what I've said, so you attack me personally. Go on now...
im against this
LOL The Party of NO!!
Oh my gosh. I'm a Marxist.
Tony Abbott to all you Australians.
Ah those big chorus bits where you can't make out a fucking word because the sound recording was so poor.
Why? Because it takes steps to reduce spending instead of bleeding anyone who makes more than minimum wage dry?
MCR :'D
G-NO-P
Oh Ed Milliband, You clown!
Two dislikes? must be Republicans
The Republican presidential candidates new campaign song
@EkseteraEksetera I'm against you
Trumpers moto
@Bladepaw18 which "liberal government" is that? Do you think the inverted totalitarianism of the United States is "liberal?" That's ridiculous.
whatever that means.....
Lol. Groucho.
