Whoever posted this should be shot. You left off the funniest part. This all started with ordering 2 hard boiled eggs, HONK, make that 3 hard boiled eggs.
Every time someone walks in a room looking a little confused I say "C'mon in, and leave all hope behind." And nobody gets it. That's a very sad commentary on today's generation.
I make skits that are chock-full of puns and one-liners, please take a look and let me know what you think! I'm a huge fan of The Marx Brothers and want to reach out to an audience who likes that sense of humor
"I want two pillows on this bed." xD I think I know what Groucho meant by that. Can't believe that got past the censors. Groucho's always spouting out a double-entendre.
God, I feel like an idiot. Can someone please explain to me what's so funny about this scene? I just don't get it. It's just a bunch of people crowding into a room with the guy commenting about how the room is crowded.
@Lethkhar2000 It's a classic case of laughing at others' expense. Any Marx Brothers movie, Abbott and Costello movie, Laurel and Hardy movie, etc. are loaded with that. Lou Costello always getting into one scrape or another, Harding coming up with a plan, and Laurel screwing it up and getting Hardy into trouble, that type of thing.
God! i finally found it! Damn! it took me so long to get to know which film it was the one i accidentally saw on tv a couple of years ago! Damn i found it AT LAST! I LOVE THIS FILM SO MUCH!I DIED LAUGHING WHEN I WATCHED IT!<333333333
@jpluvsjobros Couldnt agree more. Im a devoted lifelong fan of comedy and I dont think ANY comedy movie through out the years, matches the wit that a Marx Brothers movie possesses(although, Life of Brian and Airplane! come close)
Someone tried to tell me Family Guy is funny. I linked him to this and to the hat scene from Duck Soup and said "if Family Guy is funny, we're about 500 years ahead of schedule for Idiocracy."
When are people going to learn that making jokes about stupid things aren't funny! When I say stupid i mean things that do make sense but are trying to be made funny, with these guys nothing makes sense but its still funny.
If you combined an entire season of today's sitcoms they couldn't match the brilliance, choreography and physical comedy of this classic Marx Bros. scene!
What would make this cozy scene even more awesome is if they were shooting it on an actual cruise liner that was in motion. If you've read chapter 24 in Groucho and Me, you'll know what I'm talking about.
i think you can find a better example of bad comedy than dumb and dumber. the first film was actually pretty hilarious...and this is coming from a marx brothers fan.
@zeppelinswimmer I could, but I think "Dumb and Dumber" encapsulates the current state of bad comedy in its very title, so I am quite happy with my selection, thank you very much. :)

@SirCrooner, Sorry to say you're wrong my friend. It was mentioned in her autobiography. One of Judy Garlands first rolls "looking for her Aunt Minnie".
@SirCrooner, Sorry to say you're wrong my friend. It was mentioned in her autobiography. One of Judy Garlands first rolls "looking for her Aunt Minnie".
@The25Rocky I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with you. I'm not quite sure that you read the correct autobiography, as this in no way is Judy Garland. For a few reasons:
1. This girl is too tall. She is almost the same height as Groucho, while Judy was the same height as, say...Mickey Rooney.
2. Judy Garland was 13 at the time of this filming, and this girl is at least eighteen.
@The25Rocky And finally, Judy's gums weren't as large, as you can see when this girl smiles. She does look something like Garland, and I can see where you can get confused. I hope this helps you.
whenever i feel that everything is coming to an end, and hateful to everyone, i turn on a marx bros flick and it resets my mind to realize that everything is a joke, and should be treated as such.................
favorite line ever: " what ever it is, i'm against it!".....
Winston Churchill was a huge Marx Brothers fan. On a day early in the war, as he was heading out to see the latest Marx Brothers film, he was informed by an assistant that the German second in command, Rudolph Hess, had parachuted into Britain, and was in their possession. Upon hearing this surprising news, he replied, "well, Hess or no Hess, I'm going out to see the Marx Brothers!"
I think all of the Marx brother's are rolling around in their graves knowing that kind of bullcrap thats on television now-a-days. These guys put any top tv show of today in shame.
Three Stooges were great but they were basically a one joke gag...hitting each other. Most modern comedies wouldn't be around today if it weren't for the Marx Brothers.
@BloomLewis That's not true exactly. They do physical comedy. Bopping on the head, eye poking, sound effects. With the Marx Brothers, you have to be older to understand their humor. The Three Stooges are for everybody.
@BloomLewis I'm 19 and I'm just saying. I have nothing against the Marx Brothers, in fact I think they're hilarious. But, they are nothing compared to Moe, Larry, and Curly. Teens don't even know who the Marx Brothers are. But, they know who the Three Stooges are. And, Three Stooges didn't do movies like the Marx Brothers and they were still more popular.
@Gwitfu90 When you get older, and explore, you will realize the Marx Brothers are the best slapstick comedy team/family in movie history. The Three Stooges are just about visual gags, while the Marx Brothers. combine slapstick with comedic wit. This led to the birth of British comedy which led to the Goonies (Peter Sellers) of the 50's, and Monty Python. The British were smart enough to use the Marx Brothers style of comedy, and make it their own.
@Gwitfu90 If you tend to ignore the guy in big pants with the cigar, and (painted) moustache that later hosted a game show called "You Bet Your LIfe" that never stops talking, sure.
@strangeones4 That's the thing. It was all about Groucho. It rarely featured Harpo and Chico. The Three Stooges had all three. Yes, it was a physical stuff, but they do it differently every time.
@Gwitfu90 Groucho Marx, and Moe Howard are the same character. The difference is one uses physical slapstick to make people laugh, while the other uses words. When I discovered british comedy such as Fawlty Towers, and Monty Python when I was in high school, I didn't have a need for the Three Stooges shorts I saw when I was around 10-12.
@Gwitfu90 There was nothing different with the Three Stooges. Moe was the leader and bully, Curly/Shemp/Joe/(the other guy), and Larry were the but of Moe's jokes, with slaps and pokes to the face. Just watch the auction scene from "The Cocoanuts" (1929). Groucho is trying to auction land from newly developed Coconut Grove (Miami). He is being undermined by Chico who is supposed to help him. It's pure comedic genius.
@strangeones4 I am sorry, but I must point out that The Goon Show was the radio serial featuring Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers and. The Goonies is the film that originated the truffle shuffle!
You are correct. You also must point out that the Marx Brothers are two steps ahead of wit,and slapstick compared to local groceries, and local farms. I don't trust him.

@Gwitfu90 There was nothing different with the Three Stooges. Moe was the leader and bully, Curly/Shemp/Joe/(the other guy), and Larry were the but of Moe's jokes, with slaps and pokes to the face. Just watch the auction scene from "The Cocoanuts" (1929). Groucho is trying to auction land from newly developed Coconut Grove (Miami). He is being undermined by Chico who is supposed to help him. It's pure comedic genius.

@Gwitfu90 The scene is listed on Youtube as "The Cocoanuts Part 9".

@strangeones4 I'm going to stop arguing, but I still believe the Stooges are better.

@Gwitfu90 Actually, I can sort of now see why the Marx Brothers are better, but you need to put the 3 Stooges up there.

@strangeones4 I am sorry, but I must point out that The Goon Show was the radio serial featuring Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers and. The Goonies is the film that originated the truffle shuffle!

You are correct. You also must point out that the Marx Brothers are two steps ahead of wit,and slapstick compared to local groceries, and local farms. I don't trust him.
