[@susancummings3930]

I ❤ GROUCHO MARX❤❤❤ WHAT WHIT AND INTELLIGENCE 😂❤😂❤ and HUMOR 😂😂😂❤❤❤forgive me tysvm for uploading these classic AND WONDERFUL SHOWS 😂😂!!!!

[@keithnaylor1981]

No other show is as entertaining or uplifting as this!

[@sclogse1]

Groucho is astonishing. You watch a couple dozen of these, and no one has better ad libs. What a mind, and what extraordinary experience he's had. I have his first book..a little one called Bedrooms.

[@keymaninmusic]

A good deal of Groucho’s ad libs are scripted by writers.

[@papadopp3870]

Having watched Groucho appear in spontaneous interviews later in his life, he was a bloody great ad-libber!

[@michaeltraffanstedt7674]

I love the Marine's answers to Groucho's questions,true and funny...sir if your still out there,Thank You for your service...,and what a first kiss,I think they ment that...Thanks for posting this for all of us to enjoy.

[@jasontuck-smith3896]

I think Wednesday November 17th will be forever engraved in my mind!

[@TheoHockeyton]

Yep, we just need to wait until 1955 comes around again so that we can go to our DeSoto dealers !

[@janepatterson6779]

The most handsome Marine I've ever seen...WHAT A SMILE! Lol

[@Schnitzengruben]

Thanks much for uploading, there's rarely anything on YT nowadays where I'm laughing out that loud!

[@grouchomarx-youbetyourlife7476]

My pleasure-- glad you're enjoying these shows!

[@patriciamooney928]

Thank you for putting these shows on KZbin. I like the old car ads too.

[@joker_3517]

Apparently it was Groucho himself who saved all these recordings from being deleted

Beverly Putnam's first safari which she mentioned was actually kind of famous at the time (it took place January that year). It made a few newspapers, both before and during. It was a 30-day trip, 15 of which were the actual safari and hunting in Kenya's Rift Valley. 13 women attended, along with some professional hunters, photographers and guides.

[@janepatterson6779]

When ladies dressed so lovely, like "ladies."

[@SrVP100]

I'm so glad that you've worked hard to upload as many of these shows as are available to you. My compliments for your dedication. I wish there were more. BTW, what happened to the 1952 episodes? Being born in 1947, these were fun when I was a little girl, and now seeing them is even more fun. Since I'm a born researcher I love to look up as many of the people as I can to see what became of them. As an afterthought, I saw that the De Soto was phased out in 1961, the same year that the show was phased out. Again, many thanks and blessings for airing as many of these as you can. Keep up the good work.

[@grouchomarx-youbetyourlife7476]

Thanks for the comment-- and I'm so glad you've been enjoying the shows! And good news-- I'm expecting to be getting a few more episodes soon, so I should have some new posts coming up this summer. The reason there are so few shows in circulation from before 1954 is complicated, but the short answer is that they never included the pre-1954 shows in reruns, and almost all that survives today from YBYL are the films they used for reruns. There are a bunch of pre-1954 shows included in two DVD sets published by Shout! Factory (over ten years ago). Those came directly from prints held at the Library of Congress. I can't post those for copyright reasons, unfortunately (the rerun episodes I've posted are all in the public domain), but you can still find copies of those sets for sale online pretty easily.

[@wchomes106]

Ditto !

[@michaeltraffanstedt7674]

I agree with every word Sister,well put thank you.

[@youtube-user73424]

Were you able to find any info on the people you researched?

[@michaelm6948]

Beverly, the elephant gal is a doll!

[@digemsmacks5690]

Beverly is an amazing woman of her time and would no doubt distinguish herself in this current era.

[@ziluc89]

Veterinarian:"My practice is limited to cats only..." Groucho:"Cats?" Veterinarian: "That's right" Groucho: "Oh, no wonder you play the violin?!!!!!" (That was a really hilarious joke! )

[@chrisfranco6603]

I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas I'll never know! (All time classic!)

[@kevinkettell1092]

sir the marines never retreat !!!!!!!ha ha

[@walkingtrails7776]

Kevin Kettell love it!

[@googleyeyes5122]

We never retreat. We always advance. It may not always be in the same direction, but we always advance. 😂

[@jakenorris6189]

The marine has a few good lines of his own.

[@rockyjaydog6447]

Hal Keene passed away in 1961, he was 39.

[@MsHighHorse]

Lieutenant Taber is hilarious! I love them as a couple, they are adorable. I wish I knew what happened to these people. Maybe they stayed in contact!

[@davemattia]

The lieutenant died at age 90 in Sept 2020 after a distinguished career as a Lieutenant Colonel. He was, however, involved in a serious mistake as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam where he dropped two bombs 650 short of the target and killed 20 US soldiers - wounding several dozen others. The error was attributed to his inexperience - having only flown 90 hours in that helicopter.

[@GeorgeSwift-qj1ik]

I'm 80 years old now and can answer most of those questions. But back then I was so dumb😅

[@Lindenbum]

Fire Done away, a DeSoto plug. Referring the Fire Dome Hemi.

[@mauriceupton1474]

Interesting to note that most of the now public hospitals in New Zealand were built by the Americans including our international airport in Auckland. The Americans during World War 2 built airfields, bases and hospitals all through New Zealand to treat their wounded soldiers who were fighting in the Pacific. ANZUS, Lest we forget. Now the only thing us kiwi New Zealanders would like as a wee bit more trade access into the US dairy market:)

"This is Government work and it's strictly confidential". "Seven women work on this job and they keep it a secret!? Well, how to you even get one woman to keep it a secret!? Do you sow zippers on them?" "Oh, they don't know what they are doing." "Well it certainly sounds like a government job alright!"

Those “European Vacation” commercial were howlingly funny for being so bad. Did people really decide to buy a car based on watching Groucho walk around in the rocks. Crazy!

[@TheoHockeyton]

"Seven women work on this job and they keep it a secret ?" hahahahahaha you could never get away with that nowadays but boy is that funny !

[@stonesinmyblood27]

That cat doctor had a beautiful heart 😻

[@martinjones5965]

Q: "What is the name of the enormous reef off the north east coast of Australia" A: "New Zealand". Classic!! Did you know New Zealand has the highest per capital snorkel ownership in the world? ... an Aussie.

[@nonaubiz8939]

I can’t help but wonder if the Lt and her ever dated after this episode. They seemed so cute together.

[@FF11Freshstep]

another permanent set change. this is the last episode to use the curtained background

[@keithnaylor1981]

24:16 I can’t believe that after these exchanges of glances she never shot an elephant in HIS pyjamas!

[@BeingRomans829ed]

19:26 I reckon he told YOU!! (heh-heh)

[@zachjohnson637]

There is no way in hell she was 23...

When being Encyclopedia Britannica salesman was a professional job.. "..I'm a representative for Encyclopedia Britannica.." "..so you're a salesman?.." "..no a representative.." "..oh..such class 'A' job.."

[@frankgambrel1683]

great

[@highvelocity6529]

22:30 once I shot an elephant on my pajamas, how he got on my pajamas I don't know ! It's is actually one of the most famous Groucho Marx jokes of all time .

[@lupesizeer2508]

Love Groucho !!!! Hello from ur many fans in Sacramento ! 💟~~~~~~ July 2020 year of pandemic ! ✝️

No escape from that!

[@henningandersen9027]

"23? Well you're a fine-looking girl!" Well, everything is relative.

[@marymarysmarket3508]

She looks nice enough

[@myjeevie]

That isn't nice.

[@justplainbrad7713]

@@myjeevie Your jeevie is too tight, and is cutting off the blood flow to your cerebral cortex, minimizing brain and cranial volume.

[@hankterreros223]

I would have said, "Frances Perkins, Sec. of Labour", Groucho.

[@markthomas6703]

23? She looks older than Groucho

[@johnmatthews3990]

I kinda liked the girl around 22 minutes until she said she hunts elephants. Man things have changed.

[@nicholasscaping4528]

So did that hunting winch meet her fate by getting trampled to death by elephants?

[@iraqafghanistanmarine6905]

Can you imagine the outrage today if a contestant mentioned hunting elephants? Too many tender feelings these days. And yes, we Marines NEVER retreat, especially when trying to land a beautiful girl😉

[@davido1953]

Women hunting elephants...you'll never get away with that now.

[@marymarysmarket3508]

People still go on safaris and can still pay to shoot an elephant. They give it to local villagers for food and skins.

[@CD-db1zo]

Hate big game hunters .

Where else do you get to see awkward pauses, nervous body language, obnoxious double-entendres that used to be funny, and one of the 1st quiz shows on tv.

[@marymarysmarket3508]

This is true comedy. Laugh or not...up to the listener. No canned applause or political correct censorship.
