@johnnyconsumer how can you tell Groucho's lines was scripted?-Mr MARX was so brilliant even at such an early age that the bullies who did the insults got the tables turned back on them and Groucho had to run most of the time!
Anyone (perhaps British, because of the references therein) who loves comedy with a heavy emphasis on wit, should check out Radio 4's Friday night comedy (e.g. the Now Show). They do a podcast too. It's hilarious. And no, I don't work for the BBC!
I loved Groucho and this comedy-quiz show....with the emphasis on comedy. It was often hilarious. And he didn't need four letter words or graphic sexual descriptiions to be funny. Many of today's so called "comics" could take a lesson from the comedy greats of yesteryear (Groucho, Jack Benny, Fred Allen, etc). THANK YOU so much for posting this! Hope you & yours have a VERY happy new year! :)
@cookieking3 there is at least occasionally brilliant television these days. it was just a few months ago I got to see justin beiber get shot to death.
lol... i mean there is today, but when did groucho mention anything with the word sex in it in any of his jokes on national television???? now THAT is comedy...
This man was the best comic actor in the 20thcen and the quickest wit ever THE MIRROR SCENE IN DUCK SOUP IS STILL LAUGH OUT FUNNY AFTER NEARLY 80 YR.THE BEST
One time on this show Groucho interviewed a woman who said she had 20 kids. Groucho asked her why she had so many, and she replied, "I love my husband". Groucho said, "I love my cigar, too, but I take it out once in a while..."
I don't see how it's ludicrously simple. There nothing like each other, mostly due to the fact Groucho Marx is an actual person. Comparing Groucho Marx and Borat is ludicrously idiotic, not simplistic.
I think it's sad you don't seem to realize what a total fucking fag you are. Jesus. Naom/ Noam - fuck, i'm so sorry... It's so sad I mispelled an obscure Russian name so dramatically. What a fucking fag.
Ah, you've brought over your girlfriends to throw stones at me? Sorry, I didn't realise you were a girl. I apologise. But I said I let you go long before, girl; it's you who keeps coming back!
Now go home and if you want me to talk to you I'll only do it in front of your daddy! Off you go!
Again, original. Why don't you start calling me gay now. That'll be funny as well; and well within your comedic age group of
13 - 15 years old. I can't believe this girl shit is coming from the same cunt that criticized my spelling error on the name 'Noam'. What a hypocrite prick you truly fucking are.

Boy, the sponsors (in this case, DeSoto) certainly ruled the airwaves back then, didn't they? I love Groucho, I haven't found any modern-day equivalents, he was awesome!

The day that Groucho died he got little publicity. He choose to die the same day as Elvis. He was a comic genious. He could take any mudane conversation and make it into a hilarious routine.
its too bad there aren't comedians still like groucho. that man was a genius and a philosopher yet could make people laugh without saying offensive and crude things. RIP to a legend
Hey, this is all good... but yall need to hear this cat Vthov. Search "Vthov Obama Inauguration Song" and you'll see what I'm talking about. He's a nobody now, but he's gonna blow up with talent like that. If I'm lyin I'm flyin.
Groucho was unquestionably one of the great wits of the twentieth century. He was always one or two steps ahead of the opposition. For him every line was a feed-line," no matter how ordinary it was. And the speed of the man! Brilliant little clip!
Groucho the real thing.NOT a "Hollywood Invention" like these MINDLESS so-called entertainers of today,who "Entertain" a MINDLESS Low-standard audience. If Groucho and those of his era,NEVER existed today and tried success,they'd be thrown out of the Business!
My grandfather loved Groucho as I remember him laughing out loud in the den as it was being broadcast live in the late 50's and early 60'son a black and white TV. He was perhaps the consumate natural wit and a comedic genius. He coult make a joke out of ANYTHING!
If the guy's name was Joe Brown, he could make a joke about it. Sheer genius. He will not be replaced.

I know an elderly lady whose husband was an announcer for NBC. She knew all the radio stars and had Groucho at her house, much to her disgust. She had nothing good to say about Groucho but she said Harpo was the nicest gentlemen she ever met.
But Harpo was the biggest womanizer of the brothers - perhaps he was turning on his charm to her. I believe it was Harpo, when caught kissing another woman behind stage by his wife, that said non-plussed that he "wasn't kissing her" - he was just "whispering in her mouth" - lol - lovely "gentleman :>
Yeah, Chico was the "chicken chaser" of the brothers. Harpo was the most loyal to his wife, actually, and was married to his wife for many many years and adopted children.
Changvang16, what did she say about Groucho? He could be very cruel with the things he said....I've read he wasn't all that nice, where Harpo was very sweet.
Keep in mind that the show was originally heard on radio in a slightly different version (with more emphasis on verbal exchanges) the previous evening {NBC Radio, Wednesdays at 9pm(et)/NBC-TV, Thursdays at 8pm(et)}. Both editions continued through the '50s...
He once asked a contestant why she had so many children and she said she loved her husband.He said I love my cigar but I take it out once in a while. I heared it live. He was too funny!!!!
Never heard that one. Thanks for sharing. It's fabulous. No one could deliver that line like Groucho. My parents never missed this show! I loved it to. Even kids can get genius when they see it.
After this went off the air, two revivals were attempted, one by Buddy Hackett, the other by Bill Cosby. Richard Dawson also hosted a pilot, but it didn't sell. When it comes to this show, NO ONE can beat Groucho.
Comedians back then were funny--and Groucho was unsurpassed in witty dialogue. He didn't have a teamof writers; he made it up on the spot. Today a lot of comedians confuse crudeness and humor. Give me Groucho anytime.
I agree he was so talented, so quick. This piece was typical of his amazing talent to turn any situation around and make people laugh. A true genius. Some of his skits I've seen that many times, but I still enjoy them just as much. Even though this show was now over 50 years old, it still works today. One of real favourites.
in 1945 a young girl named kata lata kulu came to America on a grey boat from Africa. a mysterious man killed her by carving the word "LATUALATUKA" in her back. now that you have read this she will come to your house on a full moon and steal your soul unless you follow these directions

You know Groucho is good, you remember the movies are good but be honest, when you were about to see this video you thought "I wonder if he really was that great".
Bar none, Groucho was *the man* in the showbiz. That he singlehandedly came up w/ so much witty funny unscripted materials at the spur of a moment, beats the hell of today's "Whose line is it" (creative, but not so funny). Who else's got the brain, the quick, and the musical talents nowaday?

One funny line I remember back then. Groucho asked a guest what his hobby was and the guest said, "I hunt wild boars." Groucho responded with, "I had a date with one last night."

I saw these shows when Iwas a kid, those wer'e certainly better times no where near the grind it is today, ten of us would circle around this little T.V I talian grandmother and all the love you ever want in one small room laughing and joking,when the commercials would come on we all had a chance to entertain the family .PRICELESS
I mean does it get any better than this? And this was the 1950's! Thank you to whomever uploaded this classic piece of comedy for the world to enjoy- Oh, and by the way, Groucho doesn't care that people upload his material to the internet in violation of any copyrights....He doesn't need money in paridise! Love ya Groucho!

Never heard that one. Thanks for sharing. It's fabulous. No one could deliver that line like Groucho. My parents never missed this show! I loved it to. Even kids can get genius when they see it.

After this went off the air, two revivals were attempted, one by Buddy Hackett, the other by Bill Cosby. Richard Dawson also hosted a pilot, but it didn't sell. When it comes to this show, NO ONE can beat Groucho.

I have tears coming down my face. He really was the greatest. I can't see today's comedians being this funny and still be clean.

Groucho wasn't clean but this was 50's tv.

Well, he wasn't really dirty in his acts, like Andrew Dice Clay, not that I have a problem with the Diceman.

groucho - pure genius

Comedians back then were funny--and Groucho was unsurpassed in witty dialogue. He didn't have a teamof writers; he made it up on the spot. Today a lot of comedians confuse crudeness and humor. Give me Groucho anytime.

I agree he was so talented, so quick. This piece was typical of his amazing talent to turn any situation around and make people laugh. A true genius. Some of his skits I've seen that many times, but I still enjoy them just as much. Even though this show was now over 50 years old, it still works today. One of real favourites.

You know Groucho is good, you remember the movies are good but be honest, when you were about to see this video you thought "I wonder if he really was that great".
The answer, yes he was. :D

Bar none, Groucho was *the man* in the showbiz. That he singlehandedly came up w/ so much witty funny unscripted materials at the spur of a moment, beats the hell of today's "Whose line is it" (creative, but not so funny). Who else's got the brain, the quick, and the musical talents nowaday?

One funny line I remember back then. Groucho asked a guest what his hobby was and the guest said, "I hunt wild boars." Groucho responded with, "I had a date with one last night."
