- HG Morton is something else. . . founder of an organization advocating for the domination of women in the home, he spouts off views that were outmoded in 1959 (just listen to the audience groans). Today he comes off as a misogynistic nut job.

Episode identification and basic description based on "Tell 'em Groucho Sent You", © 1997 by Mark Petty. Used by permission.
In their on air banter, Groucho gives Fenneman a hard time, but he stayed the entire run, so it couldn't have created any bad feelings. I'm sure that behind the scenes, they had a good working relationship.
Anyone on that show surely must have been grilled beforehand, don't take anything too seriously. Fenneman I suspect was well used to Groucho and knew how to play the straight man.
You folks need have a drink and relax. This guy is a transparent put on; and he even has a hard time avoiding laughing at himself. He is deliberately chosen the most absurd ideas to promote and nobody is taking him seriously except the humourless viewers. He appears in two episodes. The first episode got an enormous response by mail from women; most of whom stated they had fallen in love with him. In his second appearence he is teamed with a woman who is prepared to vigorously retort his ideas. At no time does he display any "attitude" towards her, and, in fact, he is extremely cordial without any hint of chauvanism. Of course it is the folly of the time that one can just arbitrarily judge human behavior from a different era and assume some false sense of moral superiority because you don't understand the humor of the day. It's a put on. It's a parody of a discussion that was beginning to take stage. And it's funny. Obviously the name SODOWOW and H.G. Morton are just made up. The woman advocate got in her shots, and it didn't bother him a bit. One needs to be observant of human behavior, not obsess on dialogue. But then this is an age when we are systematically destroying anything that resembles human behavior, including humor.
HG Morton got a job today as the warm up speaker at Trump rallies.
It was obviously a stunt since the man was happily getting answers from the lady and he was deferring to her.
It's funny how ignorant and humorless kids are these days. They think these people aren't actors.
I'd rather be back in the days of Groucho then in today's crappy era that is for sure. 😂
@@tinajohnson3393 Well I grew up in that era and I am in total shock that we have thrown away so much that people did right. We laughed a whole lot more; at each other and ourselves. Money was a lot harder to come by, but we could not live without laughter.
Hughes Gregory Morton got married in 1961. He died in 1993 and his wife died in about 2004. Don't know where he's buried but he might have been divorced because he's not at the same place as his wife.
Running a home properly and supervising a family properly is a demanding job. Too many people don't even try.
Look at the breakdown of the American family which corresponds to the breakdown of our society.
Strong families equal strong societies.
This cowboy is one intelligent boy
Mr. Morton played a pretty good act. As soon as the questions started he looked to the woman there and took answers from her. And he gladly took a kiss from her. I think the show wanted to get people thinking. It would have been great to put the detective woman with Morton. However, she and the tall cowboy were a good match. So much do I wonder if they went on a date they had such a good time. Morton had some great HR ideas too. Groucho was ahead of his time.
I know Im asking randomly but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the password. I love any tricks you can offer me.
@Boone Leon instablaster ;)
seems like a good idea for a wife to run the home . it is a very difficult job and raising children is a very honorable job.
The fellow was talking about these things in a somewhat outdated way (making the roles gender specific, for instance), but nothing he said seemed very bad. Perhaps a bit misguided, but at least respecting the work required to do those things well. Then he started talking about his little society and became absolutely repulsive in fewer words than most people could manage if they tried.
Even the Bible says "women ought to be keepers at home." They would be so rich and blessed and happy, but they rather serve themselves and are angry and unhappy if they cant have their way. You MUST be a team....the progressives have taken the 'love' out of a relationship. Groucho was married 3 times.......why that's why!
@@theoakhills: Sure, Terry, the bible is a perfect user's manual for life. Even the bible commands us to a disrespectful child, for example, to the edge of town and stone her to death. And Jesus wisely predicted that his ministry would divide "father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law." Moreover, slaves should be submissive to their masters. Sure, the bible is pure wisdom for a modern goatherding society that has learned nothing in 2,000 years!
@@ghettofreeze It's been a month and no-one on earth liked your ignorant comment. Grow-up little man.
Rearing children is not a horrible job, but it is hard.And those who are still mental children hate the competition. =)
Lol. The last guy was cra cra
He was acting.
another odd coincidence i just noticed between this episode and the last one 0918 (#58-18) both jackpot questions the exact same thing happened. numbers picked 5 and 7 and the wheel lands right between them on 6. thats some bad f-in' luck lol
More contestants pick seven than any other number.
$1000 is like $13,000 today.
My grandmother's name was Mildred.
I'm amazed at how many of the men don't want to get married. I thought that was just a contemporary phenomenon.
Thanks for the great entertainment
The wheel was rigged !!
What tells me that HG Morton wasn't a really big help to female employees his company was supposed to consult. Well, he's probably dead by now - hope he corrected his ways.
Morton has a job today as a warm up speaker at Trump rallies.
Mr.. Morton was acting! Watch it again.
Great show
H.G. Morton = The Original American Taliban
Besides being a cowboy, Hugh Langtry was a bit actor. From 1958 -67 he had small roles in shows like "Daniel Boone" and "The Outer Limits". He died in 2006.
Morton is really a piece of work. Groucho had less than enlightened views on women (based on other episodes of the series where he makes his views more clear), but this guy Morton makes Andrew Dice Clay look liberal by comparison. I'm relieved that the audience registered such vocal disapproval.
Groucho Marx - You Bet Your Life The good Morton was, besides being a pain in the a.., also very illogical. "To keep women from getting a higher education, so men could remain superior"!?! If *that' wasn't cheating, I don't know what to cheat is.. Pity his case was already lost, or else it would have been funny to have a dispute with him. ;)
Groucho Marx - You Bet Your Life Groucho was born in these less enlightened times, yeah, but he was still better than some others back then. I especially liked his stand and reasoning for wanting a female president in an earlier episode.
***** It depends on what you consider as masculine values, I think. Equality must be the preferred solution for both parties. Respect will then follow as a rule.
+MM - Sounds like someone's been binge-watching "Last of the Summer Wine".
At 4:38, the contestant blows her nose and immediately afterwards balls up the tissue/handkerchief and stuffs it into the cuff of her coat sleeve. WTF?
"well i can see why you're not married." dude wanted to take away a woman's right to vote. wow.
Migtow schmucks even back then.
He was even too over-the-top for Groucho.
@@jazzmanchgo groucho was pretty progressive.
It was an act. Watch it again. He defers to lady for answers and takes a kiss willingly. He played that act perfectly.
Groucho , there is no one like him.today.
Nope. They tried to revive You Bet Your Life twice. Once with Bill Cosby and once with Buddy Hackett. Both times it bombed, although both of these guys were quite capable successful and witty comedians. They just weren't Groucho, that's all.
@@darknessanddistance4469 I really can't imagine Bill Cosby...Yuk!!!💩🤮👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
@@zacredman9137 well, as a comedian Cosby was nothing like Groucho. Groucho gave funny responses, misconstrued other people's answers to questions and did a lot of one-liners. If you remember Cosby during the 70s was quite a storyteller. He needed time to set up and tell his funny stories and was never known to be especially witty in verbal improvisation. That's why it sucked there was no payoff. I remember watching the pilot waiting, waiting, waiting for something funny to be sad and nothing ever happened. the man was Charming certainly but charm alone didn't put put You Bet Your Life over
@@darknessanddistance4469 Exactly!👍
@@zacredman9137 Buddy Hackett I, on the other hand, was essentially a burlesque style comedian and he couldn't put the show over to some extent. But the wait he went about it, it seemed as if he was doing us all a favor by being there. He didn't connect with the audience like Groucho. And of course he wasn't as funny.
8:00...she has a Go Pro camera.🙄
Gawd, no wonder Bill Cosby admired Groucho so much.
I cannot find anywhere on the Internet where the complete YBYL collection is available. 10 years times roughly 35 episodes per season would be roughly 350 episodes and RUclips has only about what...70-80. The vast majority are missing. Where can I find the complete collection?
A guy who was on the show that I would like to know if he is still alive is H G Morton, the domination of women guy. I would like to ask him his opinion of the world from 1959 to the present. Anyone have any information on him besides his 2 appearances on You Bet Your Life? I have not been able to find out anything about his life or if he is still alive.
He died, and I am sure he carried to his grave his crazy ideas
I think he still alive. His wife died in 2004 and his son who has the same name died in 2009. There’s equipped with her, the son and her parents and spaces for more people
@@mariangelasp1168 Beautifully put...and much more magnanimous than my own thoughts on the matter.
7m26s would liked to have seen miniature voice recorder of the time.
17:42 she also controls the pune
Is the female private detective wearing an eagle's nest or a hat?
It's some kind of hat, all right. I don't what kind, but "eagle's nest hat" sounds pretty accurate to me. :)
To quote from I Love Lucy "...if that's the kind of hat you wanted, you certainly got a good one..."
My grandmother wore one like that. She was born in 1899 and I have a photo of her in 1956 with a hat on like that. She was very progressive and danced thru the roaring 20's. She moved to a new town and rode a Harley 150 miles with her 14 year old son, my father, in the side car in 1938.
Groucho loves to ask if contestants are married or not. He pokes at them about it at times. I think a number of the contestants were "not married" because the interesting and expressive actor type men and the serious single working women were often enough homosexuals.
why The Lord!
@@barbecuecity138 Huh?
Some might have been Gay but people didn't talk about that back in those days.
@@sherri419 You are so right. American social customs were very different back then, we didn't shove our personal sexual preference down other other folks throats, everyone just lived their lives, some in secret some out in the open. When I was a kid, back in the 1960's, we had an aunt who had a live-in female 'friend'. I recall asking my mother about it, 'Mom,. who's that quiet lady that lives with aunt Tess?' She promptly slapped my face and covered my mouth. Took me decades to figure that one out! lol Anyway, The part you're right about is that no one talked about such things back then, kinda like Billy Clinton's, 'Don't ask don't tell' policy. If someone was in a homosexual relationship people just said, 'They're different.' Times have sure changed. 👀
@@MrMenefrego1 That slap explains a lot about your mentality.
This is HilLiary’s favorite episode!
The show - and the world - was sexist enough without the put-on character the tall dude was there for.
HG Morton is a nut case over the top! He should live in Afghanistan! There was a lot of chauvinism in his time but way crazier!
Did You Know: Brokeback Mountain was loosely based on events in the life of Hugh Langtree. Some hints can be found here.
I picked up on his undercurrent, as well. Interesting!
Nah...can't see him being gay, plus their was no such thing as gay people in the 50s.😩
HG Morton sounds like a nutcase ..
When he was smiling he had that Ted Bundy serial killer look in his eyes. He is a psychopath,
HG Morton got a job today as the warm up speaker at Trump rallies.
The Organization to Dominate Women sounds an honestly named Muslim group.
H.G. Morton is a "take-up". It's a parody which exaggerates a position with the purpose of illuminating that position's flaws and satirizing that position. Part of the danger of assuming you can look back sixty years and judging people without any understanding of the vernacular of the time. Today, we are obsessed with taking everything literally and passing judgement, whether it's warranted or not. This obsession has destroyed parody, satire and self effacing humor in general.
I knew right away it was a parody. Of course I'm older and could pick that up.
I was about 14 when this show was aired, and can tell you that most people were generally much happier then than they are now.
@@MrJamespeyton ok boomer
If voting worked they wouldn't let us do it. Honestly, I fail to see how "voting" makes anyone free.
Depends on who you vote for.
17.27. are you what? stewed - drunk?
"Stewed", I think, for the competition issue. Me neither caught it well.
"Steward", I meant. I don't know.
Stewed,,.it's slang for being drunk.
I think they should take away everyone’s vote
21m43s I love how G'man gets "foist number" out of "first number".
17:55 what's the question??
There were incels in the 50s
No sound volume. Good job.
What's that on her head? Lamp shade big hairstyle? I wonder if she has any bright ideas?🤔🤔🤣😂
The first incel.
Today, Mr. Morton would find it very difficult to scare up tail.
Hugh was the Chromomite in the outer limits.
That first male contestant looks like Abraham Lincoln.
Hugh was hilarious 😂 l thought he was cute. I would have dated him. Love Groucho and his brothers
I wanna marry him and work for her🤣🤣🤣
Lol 😂
HG Morton is something else. As to whether his organization was real or just a joke, I don't know.
There was a series of science fiction books dating from 1972 by John Norman called the "Gor books" about adventures related to the Planet Gor: some were totally hilarious: I recommend #12 Beasts of Gor.
An absurdist reaction to feminism, the books facetiously argued that women enjoyed rape & would kiss the chains that enslaved them, as well as the whips that chastised them.
Many women took these tomes dead seriously & caused much uproar, keeping them from being reprinted for some time. While far from great literary works, they are, for sure, not PC!
The book “Outlaw” from that series was adapted into a movie that ended up on MST3K
What does groucho say at 17:55? Are you.. What?
Serena Canciello I didn't get it either. Sounded like "Steward" or "Stewed" to me..
that's what I thought it sounded like too, lol. I guess I'm going to take that as he thought the guy was stupid.
Serena Canciello Yes, and since he couldn't say it directly, it came out as "stewed"...! ;)
He asks him "Are you stewed?" It's an old expression, meaning "Are you drunk out of your mind?"
Devin Lawrence Thank you very much for clearing this up! :) I was thinking it could have been something like that, but since English is not my first language, I didn't dare try to explain it that way! ;)
what's he saying 'spit in the rhine.....
?????
Spit in their eye 😎
The irony of people watching Groucho belittle women while complaining about HG Morton being misogynist is hilarious. A hypocritical double-standard that goes right over your heads.
It's not much of a double standard when he belittles everybody, constantly...but that's why he was called Groucho.
You're claiming a double standard while citing behaviour that he applies to everyone. That's a textbook example of irony, and means your claims of irony are also ironic. Sweet lord, one more and you would have hit the trifecta.
Groucho often says things that I (and many modern audiences) would find improper, or even sexist, but to claim these people are less than magnitudes apart from one another in terms of the way they treat women is appalling.
You would have been a perfect target for Groucho. With some due respect, I don’t think you understand one bit of his genius.
Well said, sweiland!

This Morton guy wants to get women out of politics by taking away their right to vote. And wants to make it harder for women to get into college so women will be less intelligent than men. Is this guy for real? This guy is spouting this crap in the 1950's! This sounds like something from the 1800's. I just wonder what this guy's opinion of black people was? He sounds like he could be the President of the Human Betterment Association. The guy is interesting though. I would like to use a time machine to bring him to today and put him in a museum and display him as a curiosity. Let people know that dangerous stupid kooks like this existed in the past and let it be a warning that nuts like this can exist now.
Idiot! Btw, there's a girl now, her name's Pearl (recently on Piers Morgan show) who ACTUALLY believes in what Morton said. Morton was putting on a parody but I guess that flew over your head.
