Groucho Marx famous quotes and sayings.
Groucho Marx's true wisdom was to live life everyday to the fullest and to not take yourself that seriously. He was the master of the one liner and his wit was legendary.
Julius Henry Marx (October 2, 1890 - August 19, 1977), known professionally as Groucho Marx, was an American writer, comedian, stage, film and television star. He was known as a master of quick wit and is widely considered one of the best comedians of the modern era. His rapid-fire, often impromptu delivery of innuendo-laden patter earned him many admirers and imitators.
He made 13 feature films with his siblings the Marx Brothers, of whom he was the third-born. He also had a successful solo career, most notably as the host of the radio and television game show You Bet Your Life.
His distinctive appearance, carried over from his days in vaudeville, included quirks such as an exaggerated stooped posture, glasses, cigar, and a thick greasepaint mustache and eyebrows. These exaggerated features resulted in the creation of one of the world's most ubiquitous and recognizable novelty disguises, known as Groucho glasses: a one-piece mask consisting of horn-rimmed glasses, large plastic nose, bushy eyebrows and mustache.
Here are some of his famous and not so famous quotes and wisdom.

"Room service? Send up a larger room." What a great line!
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.
The one, the only.... Never will there be another like Groucho. He brought much laughter and joy into my heart and life. He will always be my absolute favorite comic of all time. Wish he was still here with us.... I bet he does too!
You Bet Your Life. (Say the secret word and the duck comes down with $100 :)
"I shot an elephant in my pajamas,how he got into my pajamas I will never know." Best Groucho Marx line ever
The whole family loved Groucho in the 1950's with "You bet Your Life." Our first TV as well.
My favorite is "I'd never join a club that would have me as a member"!
"A man is only as old as the woman he feels." He sure must have know a lot of people in Hollywood and Washington:)

So funny. So wise. So true to life. Bless you Groucho, for bringing the gift of laughter to us.

The line about the 5-yr old is truer than ever with all of today's technology(which kids know instinctively!)
Gifted !!! with class. no need for F words unlike last few decades so called comedians. F word ever second or making fun of somebody and obnoxiously loud.
That last quote couldn't be more true if it tried.
Yogi and Groucho were kindred spirits.
MERE WORDS CAN NOT DESCRIBE THE AMAZING TALLENT THIS MAN HAD, NOT TO MENTION..................
"Have you ever seen my face before? How do you know it's my face now?"
Classic!
excellent beyond words.
2:57 - Ain't it amazing how some things never change?
One i read in a book of quotes..On hearing a woman say that she had 22 children and saying that it was because she loved her husband, Groucho replied "I love my cigar...but i take it out once in a while!" LMAO.
Jax Lancas he said it on "You Bet Your Life. "

Brilliant man!

hahaha there were some really great one's and you can hear a lot of his jokes used today in a lot of shows
Truth Warrior " t
Who is the Alto Sax player.? Great playing. The music captured the period.
God. If I could at least be half as clever!
Groucho would say if you were half as funny you would only get paid half as much
Now that's clever
Love also the music. Can You tell me please where You got it?I´m looking for it for a long time.
I heard it before in "Laurel and Hardy´s Laughing 20s" where they were in front of James Finlayson´s record-shop.
I don`t know if i get an answer, But what is the music? It very glad spirit... good mood.
The joke on the "dead or watch stopped" was in I think when he was making fun of doctors in one movie ( when they take the pulse with a watch). No matter what he says and whether you understand it at first I bet you laughed the when he says it.
@daveindurham2701 Its from the movie ADay At The Races, he was taking Harpo's pulse.
What ? no comments in over 3 years... how easily they forget.
Carl Pen , I haven't forgotten. It's just that I've been so horny the crack of dawn isn't safe!
That last one is pretty good
If you stop the video in the middle, the words fall back down.
Two of these were attributed to Oscar Wilde!
He never said "how it got into pajamas I'll never know". It was "how it got into my pajamas I don't know". He never said 'never'.
I was told the comment: "Who're ya gonna believe, me or your own eyes?" Was by Red Skelton, when his wife said she saw him fondling one of the dancers on his show. She said "I saw you with my own eyes!" and he replied....
@daveindurham2701 I believe he was taking someones pulse
he was a GREAT ad-libber, but virtually all of these were written for him. Doesn't make them any less funny...
Many of his best lines were written by S.J. Perelman---which, as you say, doesn't at all detract from Groucho's genius. My all-time favourite (hard to choose from among so many) is "Let us lodge with my fleas in the hills - - - I mean flee to my lodge in the hills!"
What you don't see is being funny is not about the writers it's timing and a lot of banter that triggers a response being a scouser I know we laugh at ourselves but funny is universal and that is what makes groucho so special a legend if there ever was one xxxxxxxxx
QUE BUENA MISIC
Yes, and he liked to walk in the house without any clothes.
AND LOOK OUT THE WINDOW?
I love, simply LOVE Groucho, but many of these lines attributed to him were written for him by Screenwriters or people like SJ Perelman. But you go, Marxophiles!!!
Women should be obscene and not heard. LOL. Give me two beers. My friend here will take two too.
