They are funny because of their "timeless" humor. Like Will Rogers, their satire is still relevant to the period; especially their political comments. Politicians are always crooked and inept it seems.
This is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE SCENES!!! When Harpo is dealing the cards and licks his other finger, it is HYSTERICAL! Also the expressions of Harpo-PRICELESS! "The Dummy Leads, The Dummy Leads" HAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAA!!!
They don't make comedy like they used to. Hell, they don't even make pretty girls like they used to! Before the invention of plastic surgery, Hollywood had to find natural beauty if they wanted marketable women!
Oh my god Mr. Show is extremely groundbreaking and started amazing alt comedy in 1995. Thier has always been good and bad comedy. Marx Brothers were seemingly the creators of the more anarchic branch.
These comical intellectuals were truly ahead of their time and ahead of ours too!Listening to Dane Cook makes me regret not to have these pearls around anymore
Hi fellow MB freaks! I invite you to enjoy my new master class on the music of Chico and Harpo. Free, hilarious, and very educational! Type in "Dave Frank" Marx on Youtube
give margaret dumont alot of credit she was great at being the straightman among a bunch of crazinesss that the marx brothers get into.the marx brothers are my favorite no one has come close to them .my favorite is harpo.
Haha, i do love the brothers! XD My freinds believe I am stupid for liking them. :( They are the ones into the erally bad comedy... I mean new age, just, to my own opinion, isn't funny. They do have great jokes, but I mean, nothing at all like the begining of it all. XD I am fifteen, and I know no one at my school who adore these guys. I guess they're just missing out on some of the greatest comedians ever. It does stink to be them. XD
agree with thelivingdead st8 up comedy and ima bus driver who kills time. Me and my coworkers play Bidwiz and this clip remind me of my coworkers who cant play the game or cheat.
im 36 and started watching when i was like 14-15.. saw at the circus actually and laughed until i cried.. i was hooked. i believe the zeppo ones are the best. . i LOVE monkey business. borrowed night at the opera on vhs from the library a hundred times i bet when i was younger.. thanks for posting.
when i was 13 (i'm 45) i also loved the marx brothers (still do). but we didn't have cable tv or dvds - so i had to wait for their movies to pop up occasionally.
i'll never forget reading in the "tv guide" that "a night at the opera" would be on. I couldn't wait.
my mom cooked dinner early so i could watch it, but when I turned on the tv there was a hockey game on instead!
You may be only 13, but you're very wise. When I was your age (I'm 45 now) I was a big fan of the Marx Brothers too - but we didn't have cable TV or DVDs so I just had to wait for movies to pop up occasionally.
One night they were going to show "A Night at the Opera" which I'd never seen. I was thrilled. I turned the TV on and a hockey game came on instead. I actually started crying! Maybe you can understand.
May I recommend you look at WC Fields and Jack Benny! So nice to read your post!
