"Anybody can say something dirty and get a laugh; but say something clean and get a laugh - that requires a comedian" How true

[kurtjk01]

He was both right and wrong; the problem isn't "dirty;" Groucho was as dirty as many in his own way, if you read between the lines. The problem is "crassness," which is the success of lesser minds with no imagination. Still love Groucho, and respect him, mind you.

"Antiquated views"...something "antiquated" about decency?

Kramer?

@superflyenglishvegan I was thinking the same thing.. And I adore Groucho Marx and the Matx Bros. movies. Ah well, I like him for his wit and comedy, not his antiquated views.

What a sexist. A funny charming sexist, but a sexist nonetheless.

Love Groucho but he did lots of dirty jokes himself,it's funny to hear that coming out of his mouth.well,to be fair,I guess you could call it inuendo.

Groucho was the worst clown that I have ever seen. Obnoxious and annoying, hard to watch. And that nasty cigar.

@DarkridesDisney it requires talent to use 'dirty' well. See Eddie Murphy on Delirious, and, Raw. Best ever.
