    I’m a huge fan of the Marx brothers. I loved their Paramount films the best. Groucho was 81 in this clip. Funny, sharp, witty, and honest. At this age and stage of his life, he didn’t care. He said what he meant and meant what he said. RIP, thanks for the laughs.

You would go to a shop, and this is true, and maybe order a coffee or a tea and then they would hand you your order, after they prepared it. Then you would take out your money, that you stored in your wallet or just your pocket and pay for what ever item you ordered.

    Groucho was an activist from early on against racism. And, here he showed himself to be very much against the Viet Nam War. The Marx Brothers' movies sharpened their wit with barbs against the Establishment (political, societal and corporate hierarchies). No wonder they were enthusiastically embraced by the young people of the 60's and 70's.

      What a fucking incredibly imbecilic fallacious assertion. Absolutely absurd. It's a baseless belief whose origins are rooted in an ethically and morally corrupt, yet cloaked, archaic society.
      So no. "Swearing" is not indicative of the extent of one's vocabulary.
      In fact, what studies have demonstrated is a correlation between a high frequency in "swearing" & honest. i.e. "Swearing just shows" a tendency to be honest.
      The take home: People who put great effort into avoiding "cuss" words are the very people to avoid; That is if you seek sincerity, honesty.
      Did you follow? You insincere fuckface.

    Reading comments about clean jokes vs dirty jokes smacks of old biddies complaining about rock and roll.
    Groucho was often remorseful in public about his education. He was well read. He surrounded himself with smart people.
    He and his brothers did “dirty” deeds while performing in theatres.
    It’s about a smart joke, not a clean joke.
    A clean joke HAS to be smart to be funny and memorable (unlike most dad jokes that elicit groans).
    A dirty joke can be smart, but it’s easy to just be bawdy and get a laugh from the shock value.
    The veneer of preVietnam America is now another 50 years father away, too.
    I think we’ve ripped the band aid off for more authentic comedians who stole a balance being dirty and smart.
    Granted, a lot comedians still do dirty, shock material. But let’s not paint with such a broad stroke.

    His comic timing is Pure GENIUS. Such a soothing voice, one liners, charm mixed with an intelligent wit!
    Thank-you Groucho ! 😊 🌹

    Richard Pryor got to interview Groucho once. A shame that Robin Williams didn't get the chance.

      Guess he didn't get the nickname for no reason, and yes I agree it made him appear much more disagreeable.

    In my day, we used two sticks or a flint rock to start a fire. anyone can start a fire with a lighter or a book of matches. it takes a real comedian to start a fire with sticks.

    Name droppers… LOL Henry James? Ring Lardner? Evelyn Waugh? Can't see Fallon or Myers refereeing a lively conversation like this. Groucho and his brothers had very little formal education, but Groucho himself was an insatiable reader and a polymath.

    Groucho's love of young women was his downfall. His gold digger young wife/caretaker stole all his money and probably caused his death. His life did not end well. Let this be a lesson to all.

    A few years after this aired, I had an art teacher in high school that used to make fun of Truman. Also, at that point in time, same-said teacher used to live right across the street from me! He was a VERY funny guy! At the time, I had no idea who Truman Capote was! I'd never heard of him before that teacher started talking about him! But, when he would impersonate him, he had him down to a T!!! The same speaking voice and pattern, the same mannerisms, like, tilting his head back all the time, and he even did all the eye rubbing, too!! As I'm sitting here watching this and Truman starts rubbing his eye, I'm on the floor laughing every time e does it because it reminds me of how well that teacher had Truman pegged!!
