You Bet Your Life Outtakes 1953-55, Part 2

[@PumpkinPixie1978]

I was in a blue mood, watched some Groucho and laughed so much. I feel better now. Thank you.

[@LenHummelChannel]

Groucho. - truly one of the greatest wits and comics of all time. missed by millions.

[@LenHummelChannel]

Thanks. This is really sooooooooooo classic. Groucho was the greatest. both with one-liners, "the eye-brows", and "the LOOK". THERE WILL NEVER be another Groucho.

[@TheVirajster]

Stuff still holds up...the BEST host of any show before or now!! Hysterical!!!

[@wraithstrongopark]

he just crushes it. one of the funniest people ever to grace the stage, screen and radio.

[@garynicholls1448]

The lad at 09:10 who 'lived in a tree' for twenty years whose only friend was a football: WILSON! Reminds me of Castaway - Tom Hanks.

[@firdausHITMAN]

That was a pretty good guitar riff Groucho had going there.

[@Cola64]

" How do you know he died? Maybe he's just Hiding" ,,,,Classic...LOL

[@camb999]

....I never had bottle....priceless There is sexual innuendo in every joke without getting vulgar

[@andrews527]

One of kind, from a world we lost.

[@marguitar1]

There were a lot of brilliant things in there, and that bit about him never having a bottle was so perfect!

[@marc108]

Out takes are great replys

[@charleswinokoor6023]

“How do you know he’s dead? Maybe he’s just hiding.” funny!

[@kiajulian4619]

Yeah...that was weirdly funny-- he's totally joking about the husband she had 8 kids with, being dead. ...Not funny...but what he SAID WAS funny. That's why I never liked this show.... I cringe the whole time ...

[@charleswinokoor6023]

@@kiajulian4619 I disagree. Groucho not only was perceptive enough to know that he could get away with that kind of arguably risky joke, he could also tell that she would not be offended. That’s why I think it was a great line.

Love Groucho he was super

[@RRaquello]

In case you don't recognize him, the guy at 1:28 is the great cartoonist Virgil Partch (VIP). This guy had the wildest sense of humor, but it was a different type of humor than Groucho Marx's. I don't know if it came across on TV, but I'd like to see the whole thing to see him & Groucho's back & forth conversation. It might not have been much, because a cartoonist might not have the verbal repartee of a comedian like Groucho, but it would be interesting to see. VIP could also get quite risqué in his jokes.

[@senorxrey6429]

More comedy gold: "That's one of the few things I've never had on a mattress!" "Every time I see you with a cigar in your mouth I think of all the frustrations you had as a child and the wrong kind of a bottle that they gave you."

[@macmbr]

The "Tiddlywinks" woman with no chin and black hair is Alice Pearce. Later she played Mrs. Kravitz on "Bewitched"

[@ruthnail915]

No it’s not but she does look similar. No chin.

[@kiajulian4619]

I KNEW she looked familiar!

[@kiajulian4619]

@@ruthnail915 oh....it's not her? I'll look again.

[@amt253]

We could probably make a pretty funny meme out of subtitling what Groucho's thinking in his long pauses. Example: at 3:04, "Most lonely guys would've played with the bag of nuts."

[@davidjames7949]

HOPEFULLY SOME TALENTED PRODUCER OR DIRECTOR OR FINANCIAL ADVISOR IN HOLLYWOOD WILL MAKE A GREAT MOTION PICURE ABOUT THE LIFE OF GROUCHO!! HE WAS AND IS STILL TO THIS DAY THE BEST EVER!!!!

[@QMPhilosophe]

+david james Hope so...These old clips are much funnier and much more clever than anything on TV today.

[@blueskyz8097]

All 3 BROTHERS. Were great BUT HE WAS QUICK

[@JustVinnyBlues]

I don't think I could watch actors portraying Groucho, Chico and Harpo. It would never make it. Just too original, those folks. I'd rather watch their original stuff. I can't imagine any contemporary actors having any idea how to portray these people. You could never reproduce what they did.

[@maureenhammack9826]

He had a sad life especially in regard to love and ladies. :(

[@tomitstube]

what a great collection of clips. favorited. and lmao.

[@ellDiavolo666]

I wanna hear the Chinese joke now

[@auletjohnast03638]

"BOY, THIS FILM IS NOISY!"

[@Groucho-tg1tx]

Maybe hes just hiding... that has to be the funniest thing he has ever said. lmao!

[@plainjane8920]

A brilliant comic

[@julioaranton461]

America's great history of entertainers!

[@Sidetrackification]

That is by far the funniest joke I've ever heard about smoking

[@kenw5104]

7:09 Geez, I don't think that would make a joke today. I just burst into laughter.

[@amt253]

Reminds me of Rufus T. Firefly's line in Duck Soup: "He's probably just using that as an excuse."

[@TakersMissy]

But you gotta admit the "forward pass" comment was good, too - just another example of Groucho's lightning-quick wit, as well as being funny while not as raunchy as we know he could've been! :-)

[@pixi2nv]

Hahahahahaha the part when he was playing guitar was cuteeee

[@switch2kryptonite]

That lady at 4:40 was in a lot of old TV shows...anyone know her?

[@normal_media]

the guy with the treehouse had a nut joke coming but Groucho didnt go there.

[@rockandroll4evermore]

This is great.

[@fonziebulldog5786]

0:30 is that woman from Sweden or did she visit this country ???. Regards from Sweden.😀

[@northdevonpictures826]

Groucho could always make people laugh. Wish I could think of somebody else that's as funny or anywhere near Groucho's level today.

[@luisreyes1963]

The one, The only GROUCHO!

[@rehobothwell]

Groucho the guitarist.

[@xandrine7603]

That's "Nature Boy" Eden Ahbez at 2:34, no?

[@bornetocrywolf5965]

Those expressions @4:11 🤣

[@snarflatful]

Groucho knew when to shut up. 👍

[@stokepogue]

This is why being dirty is never as funny as not being dirty. YBYL only went so far as to suggest what could be dirty based on the contestants stories but never actually letting it out. Groucho always said that "it's what you don't say or see that's funny or beautiful".

[@jimmefish6855]

Did You Score?

[@anthonyjlomenzo8584]

I agree with David James -- a movie on Groucho would be a good idea although much would depend [IMO] on exactly who played Groucho. Not only was Groucho a master ad-libber but just as often his biggest laughs came from his facial expression(s) where he instinctively knew what the audience was thinking when those contestant comments could go all sorts of ways interpretation wise and he lets the moment capture laughs even when he opted to say nothing! The one that sticks in my mind was when he interviewed one "Gonzalez Gonzalez" and I'm sure it's somewhere on You Tube. Ahhhh, for those great 50's era shows and what was then considered "racy." But hey, and I'm clearly dating myself here, even "Ricky and Lucy" had to use separate beds although they were married both in the popular sit-com and in real life! Go figure! ;-)

[@MeenyMcSweeny]

I swear Conan and Groucho have similarities

[@Setebos]

Groucho could expertly skate around a racy comment without falling in.

[@bjbell52]

Groucho's the greatest. But, this is an old joke. I remember the line from the Abbott and Costello Fluggle Street bit.

[@TryTheBLT]

I'm a young gay guy but OMG Ragnild Olausson is incredibly massively insanely gorgeous!

[@RobertandLindaBullock]

So funny

[@BudSchnelker]

This is brilliant humor but it only works when you maintain a decent culture. Once you've reached the level of degeneracy that we currently "enjoy", there's no more room for the type of suggestion that makes these quips work.

[@donnasherwood283]

no I know u are getting old and so am I but this is exactly what the left has been counting on. If this not the time for a martial spirit what do u think has to happen ?

Funny how puritanical we were and still are.

[@kiajulian4619]

A few of the clips were pretty funny--but I never liked this show. I get the same feeling when I watch the Dick Cavett show. It's a cringe-fest. You sqirm in your seat the whole time and you can't wait for it to be over...for EVERYBODY'S sake. Cool the way he can play guitar tho. He plays in the movie "Horse Feathers (1932). He's pretty good!

[@marymarysmarket3508]

I love it. So good. No cringe from me.
