Rufus and Mrs Teasdale

[@luisreyes1963]

No one can sling insults at such a rapid pace like Groucho Marx. 😆

[@JCC503]

I watched Groucho and Chico over and over again as a kid and was blown away at the rapid fire quick wit they displayed. It played a big role in developing my personality and sense of humor as an adult, and I'll always appreciate them for it. Groucho was a master of his craft .

[@pkendlers]

Groucho was amazing, but he was jealous of Chico because he could remember his lines without any effort...

[@thebrentsharp]

Comedic delivery and timing at its greatest.

[@NeilGastonguay]

Groucho was a comedic genius, and his brothers the perfect team for their insane brand of comedy.

[@TigersAreTerrific]

"As chairwoman of the reception committee, I welcome you with open arms!" "Is that so, how late do you stay open?"

[@theresaholguin699]

Love Margaret and Groucho great teaming together

[@lwmson]

Mrs Teasdale: "This is a gala day for you." Rufus: "Well, a gal a day is enough for me; I don't think I could handle any more."

[@theresaholguin699]

Margaret was a perfect match for the Marx brothers

[@IvanRodriguez-hl4pg]

Groucho was known to say that Margaret never understood the jokes.

[@ddraig1957]

Duck Soup,possibly the best Marx Brothers movie. So many brilliant scenes, especially the Harpo/Groucho mirror scene.

[@Jenifer_G]

2020 MARGARET WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL. LOVE TO SEE HER. LOVE MARX BROTHERS.

[@ashyowl]

I agree. I love all their movies but duck soup has a special place in my heart

[@tarnopol]

The single greatest thing in the history of the universe.

[@amyfisher6380]

So many people have imitated, or tried to imitate, Groucho Marx. But here’s the OG himself, in all his glory.

[@lwmson]

"Remember that you're fighting for this woman's honor which is probably more than she ever did!" LMAO!

[@BrianBattles]

08:08 "Go and never darken my towels again!" I love that line, stolen it many times!

[@midnightmosesuk]

It's funny, I spent so many years laughing at the jokes that I never noticed what a good looking woman Margret Dumont was.

[@jonwizard3989]

The Great Margaret Dumont.

[@pkendlers]

I love love love "Vera's" shiny dress... Amazing!

[@markcrosby3198]

I can see you in the kitchen bending over a hot stove,but I can't see the stove 😂

[@hungfao]

I'm letting you off easy. I was going to ask for the whole wig.

[@davidstevens7018]

Thank you for giving us all laughter during this terrible crisis 👍😎

[@yeseniaeguia256]

Love. The People From The Future

[@ilovesuisse1]

Love the quick wit of Groucho.

[@blazemordly9746]

6:22 they're sitting side by side chatting, 6:24 it cuts to the other couple walking into the room, then a quick cut back to Groucho & Margaret on the couch.....Groucho's on her lap like it's totally normal. LMAO

[@jimmyr54701]

Just perfect together.

[@carlosgomes2783]

I still say Margaret Dumont was a damn' fine looking woman!

[@randysills4418]

She was a great straight man!

[@omar168]

She was. Elegant and statuesque

[@destree6348]

I love watching the background actors cause they don't know what he's gonna do next lol

[@dougboyer5829]

His dance moves are so lite and stummbley at the same time

[@premanadi]

He had a wonderful way of moving in general, uniquely his own.

[@jamesalexander5623]

That "Rufus Over Your Head" Crack was Pretty Risque'!

[@jamesmcartney1337]

Always thought that crack had innuendo even in its day..Groucho certainly knew it was double sworded

[@dougboyer5829]

Hoooray for Captain Spaulding

[@luisreyes1963]

Actually, he's President Rufus T. Firefly of Freedonia. 👨‍💼

[@dr.barrycohn5461]

Dumont was just perfect in her timing as a straight woman.

[@matthewgallegos3502]

As a married man, that line...."why he's dead." "I'll bet he's just using that as an excuse." 😅😂😅😂😅

[@taralang8854]

I think that one of the charms of the marx brothers was margaret dumont. the movies would not have worked with out her at least that is my opinion

[@stephaniemccoy9602]

+tara lang totally agree, and i think groucho knew that

[@rabbitfishtv]

tara lang Groucho, who was an incredibly sexist guy, later claimed that Dumont didn't understand any of the jokes. He said she thought it was just straight drama. That's absolute nonsense; she set up the jokes and reacted with expert comic timing. The last performance of her life was on stage with Groucho when they were both old, acting again brilliantly as his foil. She died two days later.

[@DRKLCNS1]

rabbitfishtv Groucho wasn’t sexist (offstage at least) and Margaret Dumont knew EXACTLY what was going on

[@premanadi]

She was amazing, but she isn't in Monkey Business or Horsefeathers, and they are both hilarious. Thelma Todd was also a wonderful comic partner for Groucho. Very different dynamic - not a pompous target for him, but a much sexier mood between them.

[@bkdro70]

This guy is too funny

[@SaxonC]

Margaret Dumont was the best straight woman in cinema. She endured the Marx Brothers! lol

[@wandawong]

Will you marry me? Did he leave you any money? Answer the second question first.

[@BeatlesExaminer]

Happy birthday, Margaret Dumont.

[@dublinjazz1]

Groucho breaking the fourth wall😂

[@bobriedinger5287]

I feel sorry for anyone who has to rely on the captions generated for this video compilation. So many of the captions are wrong, and are often run on, so that who's saying what is totally lost. With the rapid fire verbal humor of Groucho, these elements are critical.

[@yeseniaeguia256]

This stud man actor's temper cracks me up Completely..😂😆 4:24 4:35 7:55 8:08 9:26 9:37 Sheesh must of been a Heck of a Something working with the Marx Brothers Groucho here Especially😂😆

[@Fox_Mulder350]

If Groucho Marx was president his interactions with North Korean and China would be priceless... lethal but funny nonetheless

[@zenpaganwarrior]

Let all wars fought be battles of wit, and let Groucho be the victor!

[@dr.barrycohn5461]

Great costums.

[@JodiDean-x6v]

Classic love it 😊

[@janedoe5229]

Her gowns were lovely. :)

[@christiem1742]

I did not come here to be insulted! That's what *you* think!

[@richardrice8076]

8:14"more bad news"8:20 Margret Dumont walks in "didn't I tell ya"? LMAO.

[@klmullins65]

Ever noticed that the Latino girl is holding her dress closed throughout much of Duck Soup? I think she must've had a wardrobe malfunction, but they couldn't afford to stop and fix it!

[@dougr3142]

She was holding her robe closed during the scene at Mrs. Treasdale's house.

[@ukmedicfrcs]

How late do you stay open..lmao

[@christianhardtofind6349]

"I'm a man of few words." "I'm a man of one word: scram!"

[@matthewgallegos3502]

I love how Groucho suckers Trentino into saying his insult, upstart, just to slap him with his glove. He still likes up start the best, because he gets to slap him with his glove. Lol 😂😆😂😆😂😆

[@TheCattyKid]

I think I am going to name my dog, Freedonia ;)

[@sierrajuliet7759]

Watch bogart in the big sleep. Rapid fire diologue was in fashion. Groucho was making fun of it.

[@dougr3142]

Duck Soup was made 13 years before The Big Sleep.

[@carolgarabedian01]

It would have been his birthday today.

[@peterm1826]

lol

[@BETMARKonTube]

This character is so funny, you may even forgive him he caused a war out of spite... almost. Translated: People only remembers the funny parts of old movies, but almost every single iconic main character was usually a selfish dick. Just an observation, to offer you something different from the common praise comment.

[@brianjordan3841]

God the things that Groucho says to this woman y if I even thought about saying half of the things he said to a woman I’d find myself being slapped across the face n that’s y I enjoy a good games of hide n seek that way she’d have to go looking 4 me

[@maureenoneill2847]

Groucho Marx Olga Bolshevik re insurance policies paid quarterly's See's

[@Rockercaruthonyoutube]

Not as good as the mgm pictures.

[@premanadi]

Vastly better. Night At The Opera has great scenes but their characters are softened and watered down, and there is too much bloat with extraneous romances, musical numbers, etc. Day At The Races starts the real decline. It gets pretty dire after that.

[@1colony]

Harpo is funnier

[@sierrajuliet7759]

Harpo is the thinking man's curly stooge.
