Duck Soup part 7

2:25
Gentlemen, Chicolini here may talk like an idiot, and look like an idiot, but don't let that fool you: he really is an idiot.

Maybe one of the five most brilliant quotations in history, isn't it?

did anyone notice the "appearing" glove at 3:50 to 3:52? such quick editing hahaa

Note 3:00-3:05: Going to war = an increase in taxes. Same as today. For those who want lower taxes at all cost (no pun intended) - does that mean you are against going to war at all costs, too?

The extras back then had more talent than today's superstars.

Unlike the piss poor actors of today these men were extremely talented. Their routines were brilliant. Even though they were following a script you cannot read the anticipation of one liners on their faces. There is literally no one in Hollywood today that has this ability. They are talentless, low IQ. unsophisticated hacks who try and come across as the opposite.

AMEN TO THAT!!!!

I agree very much!! I was noticing in an earlier part how well Groucho timed and delivered his lines, (true of the others too).

Man how much money would that "Chicolini Under Arrest" newspaper be worth today if it still existed?! Lol

I love the "We're Going To War" song :D
