[@paulaharrisbaca4851]

I love, simply LOVE Groucho, but many of these lines attributed to him were written for him by Screenwriters or people like SJ Perelman. But you go, Marxophiles!!!

[@davemccarthy5824]

he was a GREAT ad-libber, but virtually all of these were written for him. Doesn't make them any less funny...

[@SollyDora]

Many of his best lines were written by S.J. Perelman---which, as you say, doesn't at all detract from Groucho's genius. My all-time favourite (hard to choose from among so many) is "Let us lodge with my fleas in the hills - - - I mean flee to my lodge in the hills!"

[@briancassell7937]

What you don't see is being funny is not about the writers it's timing and a lot of banter that triggers a response being a scouser I know we laugh at ourselves but funny is universal and that is what makes groucho so special a legend if there ever was one xxxxxxxxx
