- In time for Chico's 130th birthday, I have made a fan edit of some of my favorite clips of Chico. I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CLIPS. All clips go to their rightful owners. This is just for entertainment purposes. Enjoy!
There will never be anyone that can match their brilliance. They were awesome. Rip all of the Marx Brothers
The Three Stooges were pretty darn good as well to. Moe, Larry, Curly and Shemp.
Dan Basta Also Joe and Curly Joe. Not as good, but stooges nonetheless.
Amen
I’m coming to appreciate WC more lately. Like the Brothers and myself, he too didn’t suffer fools well either.
Chico’s piano skills are off the charts! He played classical stuff so effortlessly!
you can say the same about harpo's harp skills
always amazed by how effortless Chico made piano playing look.
Correct, made it look so actually fun and easy to do. But ya just KNOW that it took many several years of practice
Harpo was, of course, just as skilled at playing the harp as Chico was on the piano.
Also the trick shots lol, that little bang bang shot with his finger, and the backwards hand swipe, guy's a show off 🤣
Edit - honestly had me transfixed as a child though, him and Harpo both when they do their musical scenes, it's *always* amazed me too. 😁
Was he playing for real???
@@robd1329 yes
OMG! “There ain’t no sanity clause.”
I’ve loved listening to the Marx Brothers for over half a century now.
Seeing those brothers show off on the piano warmed my heart.
In the early '70s, Groucho Marx was asked by a TV talk show host how he thought his brother Chico, with whom he had performed for so many years, would be remembered by the entertainment industry. Groucho paused thoughtfully, then replied, "I think he'll be best remembered...as the man who introduced gonorrhea to the vaudeville circuit."
Brilliant!😉.I love the Marx Bros,Laurel&Hardy.Classic,timeless humour!
@Leonard Weisfeld The best jokes have an element of truth!
@@tompaulcampbell he was adorable! I don't know how any woman could resist, though Harpo was my favorite. I love the silent, crazy type.
His stage name, commonly mispronounced cheek-o, is supposed to be pronounced chick-o. He was given that name because of his notorious womanizing.
@@LazyIRanch groucho harpo n chico were all good lookin
Chico rules, always my favorite Marx bro. They said if you spent 30 minutes with Groucho you would think he was the most amazing person ever, if you spent 30 minutes with Chico you would think YOU were the most amazing person ever. Apparently he really knew how to make others feel good about themselves.
They should run these videos on a Saturday morning so the kids can come to know about them
@@j.michaeljefferson60 They show the Three Stooges on MeTV but I wish they'd show these fellas along with them
@@wh4193 You would think that the entertainment industry would have thought about it and deside the same thing as well. We can only hope
I like Groucho, I like Chico, but I always thought Harpo had the best lines.
thexalon : yes he (Harpo) Definitely have the best lines!
I loved the Marx Brothers. I discovered their movies on local late night TV when I was in college. Chico was my favorite! I never felt he got his due. Of course, as long as he got his check so his gambling could continue he was fine with that. He was flawed, but he has my heart.
It takes a genius to make comedy out of music, and this is pure magic !!
Love a good Chico scene. Chico is in my top 4 Marx Brothers, for sure.
Maybe even top 3.
@0:15
A time when the director knew where to aim the camera.
Watch a music video today, and all you see are dancers and singers, and almost always performing to a studio recording (lip syncing).
You almost never see the band members creating the music. You never get to see their talented fingers.
Of course Chico and Harpo had tremendous talent, and this scene allowed us to see it without any camera theatrics or special effects. Just raw talent, and we had a front seat view.
Today, talented artists have been replaced with computer generated scenes and all manner of studio processing -- it just isn't real. Whereas, this scene is real, and is why it is great.
They were extremely talented. So sad that those days are gone.
They don’t make them like these anymore!
The Marx Brothers were in the top five of the best ever acts!
I miss them and their antics! ❤️
These guys are hilarious! What a fun and talented bunch! 🤣🤣🤣
I just watched this again, and throughly enjoyed it. Chico is at his cutest (looks-wise and hearing his voice) in these clips. Be still my heart!
Chico could sure play a piano! When I was age 13 during 1974, I thought he was cute. I also thought those chocolate drops candy were shaped as his hat, without a brim. That candy is very sweet, with white stuff inside and chocolate on the outside. They are sold more often near Christmas. I watched all their movies in the 1970s, as a child and teen.
A lot of people choose Chico or Groucho for their great lines , yet everyone forgets Harpo's famous ",,,,,,,,,,,,"! " or his < HonkHonk > or even his ( puts leg over your arm )......a true Master of Dialogue (or its lack )
his facial expressions were pure comedic genius
roger white
When they were just beginning to develop their personas for the act Harpo made up an Irish character. When the brothers were
reading reviews of the act the harshest comment was for Harpo’s performance. It was written that his speech and accent were so bad nothing he said was able to be understood. That’s when he decided “Then I won’t say anything.” It was the perfect character to throw in the mix.
Chico was my favorite. He was talented, funny, sweet, and I just wait for him to open his mouth, or sit down on that piano bench.
My first computer password was “swordfish”.
@@cards0486 Chico is my favorite as well. That piano playing is out of this world, and he and his bedroom eyes, and sexy looks, mmmmmm.
or his funny face he makes lol
@@cards0486 # Mood!
Lives dedicated to making all of us happier!! Wow! How wonderful!! So talented and joyful!!🤣🥰
What a fantastic family everyone of them were unbelievable in their own field so talented is incredible, compared to nowadays, one thing is for sure you'll never have the likes of them again. Not only that each one of them had an incredible personal life you must Google each of them to learn about their lives from childhood through their career an death. As I say the word has never seen the likes before and never will again, God bless them all
Is there absolutely any modern artist, comedian, or actors as talented as these these three? Hard to imagine
No, there isn’t!
Just classic comedy will never see you again
Always enjoyed these guys
Love Chico (Chick-o).He was a fantastic "middle man",meaning he worked great with Groucho,worked great with Harpo,stood on his own with everybody else,and murdered the English language.Plus,he could really tickle those ivorys!
And was a cutie to see, too. In today's jargon, he was "eye candy". I never get tired of seeing him play the piano and his expressions.
“I forgotta to tell you: I can’t wright.”
“That’s oké. There’s no ink in the pen anyhow.” 😂😂
I love the historical pieces the brothers (writers) sometimes insert into their films! At 4:20 in the 1935 classic, "A Night at the Opera" with Groucho asking: "Don't you know what duplicates are?" Chico: "Yeah, there are 5 kids up in Canada!" Refers to the recently-born (1934) Dionne quintuplets, then a worldwide sensation, for it was the first time a woman gave birth to 5 babies who lived past infancy.
Love them all. R.I.P. boys.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
"He's honest, but you got to watch him a little" nobody will ever be this funny again.
You can't fool me, there ain't no sanity clause!!lol😆
That gets me everytime I a hear it.
that's funny.
One of the great lines in comedy history.
Only an "Italian" (Chico, but only played one in his films) would be able to get away with presuming "sanity" is their accented way of saying "Santa."
@@colinp2238 >>> Me too!
Is it me, or do the Marx brothers hold up best of all the acts of that era.
I think Laurel & Hardy stand up just as well. Regardless, whether it's the Marx Brothers or The Boys, I'm still laughing hysterically at their antics today!
@@micthekwik Buster Keaton still works for me.
Yeah, these guys are a classic, HOWEVER, Nobody and I mean NOBODY can ever beat Moe Larry and Curly, or even Shemp, The Three Stooges! They were PURELY THE VERY BEST OF THE BEST!
Yeah, but you gatta like The Three Stooges. The Ritz Bros were awfully good. Ah, heck, in Vaudeville and Burlesque most all were good back then.
@ Dan Basta. The Three Stooges were very funny, but they were not at the level of comedic greatness as the Marx Brothers! Groucho's humor was a much more enjoyable, more sophisticated form of comedy than the Three Stooges.
My inspiration for learning how to play the Piano.
My inspiration for learning how to play the Pinochle
mine too!!!
_"You can't fool me. There ain't no sanity clause."_
*COMEDY GENIUS.*
My favorite line of all.
@@linshanhsiang >>> 👍👍
Lucille Ball, who starred in Room Service, said that if the Marx Brothers knew there was a priest, rabbi or nun in the crowd when they were filming, they would strip naked in front of them. The reason only Harpo was on I Love Lucy. Lucille Ball was terrified of Groucho and Chico. I love the Marx Brothers and the Three Stooges. My dad got me hooked on all these old comedy teams.
Chico had a unique style of playing the piano because he spent the money he was suppose to spend on piano lessons gambling.
I thought that I read the family could only afford to pay for one of them to have piano lessons, so Chico went then, when he came home, he taught Harpo what he had learned that day. Thus, both learned the piano.
KRB52 Harpo besides being a pantomime was a accomplished harp player.
@Ol Yeller The only problem was, Harpo wasn’t as good a piano player as Chico - I believe he only knew two songs, and his claim to piano fame was being able to play “ Waltz Me Around Again, Willie” with one finger.
Kim Gyorkos : well piano was not Harpo‘s mean instrument it was the Harp! and he played that incredibly well! He could’ve had a second career as an internationally renowned concert harvest if you wanted to I believe he had that ability he might’ve had to study a little more classical music and develop a repertoire but he could’ve done it I’ve no doubt! Very talented guy he is missed there was no want to compare to him not now not ever! That was a very magical a very special Period in timeWhich will never be repeated or equaled again! That America no longer exists and it ain’t ever coming back! Thank God for the films that have survived!
@@frankdenardo8684 With his own self-tuned self-learned style.
As funny as Groucho was, Chico and Harpo just made him that much funnier!
A trio of brilliant comedians, may they all rest in peace.
"Is this your picture?" "I no think so. Doesn't look like me."
As gifted as he was,he never really liked playing like Harpo did. And it is true that the family could only afford lessons for Chico,who would then teach Harpo what he had learned.
Their act was honed by years toughing it out on the vaudeville circuit. Every movie of theirs had a two-scene between Groucho and Chico, and some kind of friendship between Chico and Harpo. When you look at it that way, Chico was the glue holding the act together. They were all brilliant at what they did, though. There's never been a better trio in show business.
3:03 Groucho: Here is a little peninsula and here is a viaduct leading over to the mainland.
Chico: Alright why a duck? 😅
Audio needs to be re done on the Why A Duck bit....otherwise it brought a smile to my face.
Groucho " That's in every contract. That's the Sanity Clause...."
Chico: "Haha you can't fool me! There ain't no Sanity Clause!"
Dumbass Marx with a funny sense of humor
i dunno im a stranger in town myself :P
AceripXF Why a duck?
I know this query might be cliche; but why can't we have comedic gags like THIS again?
So true my dear. This kind of comedy is timeless, at least to me.
@@comiketiger You said it!
@@alyssajones4368 😀❤
Because they performed at home and in vaudeville for many years prior to their films so the timing and humor was perfection.
@@celladora31 Gotcha
"There ain't no sanity clause." is a quote for the ages.
From the piano gag to the spitball war, 😮😆😆👍
"Don't you know what duplicates are?" "Sure! Those 5 kids up in Canada."
The Dionne quintuplets: first quintuplets to make past infancy and into adulthood. Taken from their family, they were exploited by the Canadian government for profit. Born in 1934, the first one passed at age 20: she suffered from seizures and lived in a convent. She was not to be left alone but a nun that was supposed to be watching her left when she was asleep. She had a seizure, rolled into her stomach and unable to life her face from the pillow, she suffocated. As of January 2019, there are two surviving sisters.
Daffy Duck: "Mr. Dionne, Puh-lease!"
Unbelievable! I do take exception to the title. The best of Chico, on any Marx brother, would take hours to show, not 8 minutes!
Left out one of my favorite parts of Conract scene..Groucho: " The party of the first party will hereby be known as the party of the first part." Chico: " I no lika that Party. Groucho: " Well you should have been to the first party! I didnt get home until 4 in morning! I was blind for 3 days!"
the part when harpo was looking for the flash light WITH A FLASH LIGHT LMAO!😂
"And if you continue through here, you'll see a lot of levees." "Oh, the Jewish section?"
Levies*
ROTFL! 😂
Comic geniuses! Always made me laugh!
I was hoping to see, eh get your tootsie fruitsie ice cream.
Little known fact: Comedian Freddy Lewis allowed Chico to eat for free at Lewis’s Bistro & Delicatessen at table number 9! xoxo The Clarences
I still think Chico Marx was the best pianist I have ever seen
Yea. I am mesmerized by his playing. I thought Liberace was wonderful, I had never seen Chico until the last two weeks........jaw-dropping.
@@texasmimi5566 Chico is like this playing piano in all of the Marx bothers movies as well as Harpo playing the Harp
@@davidcarrington9259 I had been familiar with Groucho and of course Harpo (from I Love Lucy) but not Chico. Another fan posted (and can be seen here in the list) Chico playing piano in clips of 10 movies. That's all it took, I am a Chico Marx fan for life! His piano playing is out of this world.
NEVER dated!! Glorious!!
I never dated any Glorias either - they’re stuck-up dames.
I aspire to play that good
Not easy - I've been playing his repertoire for 40 years and I still don't have it exactly right!
I loved watching them as a kid in the 50's and early 60's
I want Chico to negotiate my contract.
Go to Gummo for that if you want the pro.
They were unique and talented. I grew up with their comedy , Bud and Lou and the three stooges. That must be why I have a sense of humour!
Groucho, Chico, Harpo, Gummo, Zeppo. All known five Marx brothers.
Monty Karllo?
Karl Marx wrote the most funny books :-)
There was one more Marx Brother who died as a baby named Manfred Marx
In birth order: Manfred (deceased at months old), Chico (oldest living brother), Harpo, Groucho, Gummo, Zeppo.
@@fredarok579 LOL.
They were the best and still hold water today...
WOW! -even after all of this time, the Marx brothers still dazzle!
Chico and Harpo belong in a musicians hall of fame
Chico was my fave Marx brother.
These were the truest and best performers since the dawn of time. And frankly, the most talented. Indescribably phenomenal
" you ain't foolin me, there ain't no ( Santa) sanity claus. lol
chico n harpo are the cutest!!
Yep, my thoughts as well. Great minds think alike!
@@texasmimi5566 HA!
Omg omg yes yes Yes YES YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
And this is why Second City requires students to play an instrument, no matter what. For the best comedy, you need to use ALL available tools.
Insane talent.
I remember when people in the movies and on tv had real talent. Wonder whatever happened to that idea.
Paul Murgatroyd tolerance to not talented ones, that's what happened
We lowered our standards and we got played
@@j.michaeljefferson60 Yep, it's even worse in "music".
@@tompaulcampbell Does anyone else remember the variety shows, they were very popular in my memory recollections. Everything was included in the shows , and many went on to be star's
@@ЫРІ Paul Murgatroyd the second half of the name you are using was also a good catch phrase ( heavens to Murgatroyd was said in comedy skit
Harpo's book "Harpo Speaks!" is still my favourite autobiographical book. Better than any of the movies they made.
brilliant as usual.
You know with their comedy act and their musical talent they truly were geniuses and growing up their household must’ve been wonderful
Chico was the oldest of the 5 siblings and Harpo was the second oldest. Groucho was the middle siblings.
Chico had a few problems with the horses...and cards and just about anything else he could bet on. The brothers always stuck together, too,, and did plenty of projects in their latter years just to bail Chico out of debt. Love these guys. Thanks for the upload. ♡
When talking of Harpo (in "Go West"):
Groucho: "You love your brother, don't you?"
Chico: "No, but I'm used to him."
Lol And that’s how brothers behave.
I love Chico and the Marx brothers growing up!
Brilliant!
The Younger generation should watch the Marx Brothers instead of TikTok.
I'm 17 and I'm saying this.
If we had a montage of Zeppo's greatest moments, it'd be almost entirely the line "now, you said some things here that I didn't think were important, so I just omitted them".
There are a couple YT's of Zeppo. One is so funny cuz it just shows his face, his shoulder, half of him in the shot, etc. The poster made comments on the clips. Funny!
Texas Mimi But it’s also unfortunate because Zeppo didn’t get more screen time just like his older brothers.
You just omitted the body of the letter! Yours is not to reason why, Jamieson.
You Can't Fool Me
I Watched The Whole Video
Lovely
So lovely
Magnificent!
his bit with groucho in a day at the races is the best ever.
I love the marx bros dry sense of humour but my favourite one has to be Harpo timing and comedic genius rolled into one. The marx bros the Kings and in my opinion still are the Kings of comedy. Ofte imitated but never bettered.
👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The whole family was genius one-of-a-kind I love them all
amazing how these people actually had talent,a nd could pull something like this out of their ass, with no effort at all.
If you put all of Chico's great bits in one video, it might last a couple of hours. His piano bits alone might be a half hour.
Somebody actually did that. There is a clip of all of Chico's songs.
@@Gumboz1953 someone needs to do 1 for Harpo all the scenes of him playing the harp
Just so anyone who may not know, the '5 kids up in Canada', were the Dionne quintuplets (4:26).
Thats-a no flash, that's a flisk!
Great talented comedians of by gone times it ashamed their like will never be seen again
Like that he's honest but u gotta Watch him a little😄
Chico Marx was what everyone thinks that every Italian speaks like that. But my experience is he was correct. It's a joke folks don't take it personally.
Comedy geniuses.
Great stuff.
Talent is what's missing today !
my rear ends been cut off lmao!
Did you see Groucho really get hit hard by a small book at 4:59 ? Looks like it really hurt him.
@@knightwatchman I read that he was not expecting that, that one of the brothers threw it. It did cut him.
dammmm sooooooooooo funnyyyyyyyyyyy and smart just the best meci merci beaucoup
My partner here got the nose of a bloodhound, and the rest of his face don't look too good either.....
Politician: "We need to raise taxes". Chico: "I've got an uncle who lives in Texas". Politician: "No! taxes as in dollars". Chico "Yeah, that's where he lives, Dallas Texas". LOL
Nice!
Untouchable ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Grandi!
@4:41 I was sure hoping something similar would have happened on You Bet Your Life. Groucho would be doing the show, Chico and Harpo would come in and disrupt the proceedings and Groucho would jump right in. That would have KILLED! With the Marx's, there was always time for" zany," regardless of whatever was going on.
