Groucho Marx 1951 You Bet Your Life Part 4

[catboxcatboxcatbox]

I'm 29 and I love watching all the old Marx Bros. movies and the "You bet your life" game show. Am I really weird?

[nibsvkh]

@catboxcatboxcatbox Not weird at all,I would say intelligent for appreciating his great wit and wordplay!Check out OTR Archives,they have hundreds of the radio version of YBYL.

I knew the answer as soon as he asked it I mean who doesn't know that King Arthur was from Camelot apparently those two lol

[uhhsam]

the song that played during the final question reminded me of the song from monty python's holy grail. weird...

[fireworksandsunshine]

CAMELOT!!!

[jitterbug121]

I use to watch the reruns of this when I was a child and was much to young to ever have seen it when it aired lve, Groucho surely was good with one liners XD

[nactan]

oh come on, camelot?!

[Setebos]

Good Grief! Talk about how time's have changed. I knew "Camelot", but was totally useless on the subject of Latin Songs.

I love the money. It's just right for today's wages, over 50 years ago.

i wish I could buy that car today.

[1983Mafioso]

Gotta love what the mechanics are wearing!

[paulyvi]

@1983Mafioso they look like ice cream truck drivers...))

[MisterEvasion]

Looks like they built those DeSoto cars the same way they built an Abrams Tank.

[ternel]

They handled like a tank so it stands to reason they built them like a tank.

Lovely

[dobtoronto]

there are many funny people on tv today

colbert is one and he does a great job with guests

groucho is up there adlibbing an entire show

his aura infects the crowd and the guests - e.g. the earlier clip where the architect said 'behind every great house there is an architect'

everyone laughed hysterically because the joke was there in people's minds, it didn't need to be said

thanks retrod!

inviting you all yowatch the clip with groucho on cosby. just improvising hilarious lines with ease.

[franklindavid]

Nice clip, and the old car commercials.

[ScarletKnights]

After watching this, I can see why people get sentimental over the 50's.

[slydawg221]

i'm just 29, this aired even before my parents were born. i've heard a lot about groucho marx but i never really got a chance to see just how funny he was until now and he is hilarious!

[Cris43130]

I wasn't born until seven years after this aired, but I recognized Perfidia.

[obiwanobiwan13]

I could've gotten CAMELOT, for goodness' sake! :)

And nobody said the secret word...... shame.

Groucho Marx- greater than Harpo, Chico, Moe, Curly, Larry, Shemp, Abbot, Costello- all of these guys are great legends and I love them all, but none, individually, like Groucho.

[TouretteNeck]

ME too :) HOwever you have to bare in mind, that they weren't bombarded with mediocra King Arthur movies like we did... Excalibur anyone????

[zapkvr]

I liked Excalibur. Also, if this question had been asked in the 60s around the time of JFK, well no one would have missed it. I read the story when I was in primary school (not L'Morte d'Arthur but the kid's version - I was in primary school)

[Skillywiggler]

Aww, man. I knew the Camelot question! I could've won a De Soto.

[noliketoregister]

Groucho died just 3 days after Elvis Presley did and his passing went far too unnoticed.

He once joked that his epitaph should read "Excuse me, I can't stand up" (it doesn't actually, no epitaph)

[toastichedu]

Hey, I just recently bought a Dodge just before I saw this clip on TV. Maybe I should have told the salesperson Groucho sent me!

[fords4ever1]

I'm still laughing after all these years. My parents bought our first TV in 1951, and You Bet Your Life was one of my favorites. As I just realized, it still is. Thanks for posting these great clips.

[noirkiss3]

thanx for posting these they were great!!!!
