Axess2084 I love that so much of their comedy had brotherly jabs like that. I was watching Room Service today, and when they finally get the food in the room, Chico dunks some sort of pastry in Groucho’s coffee and bites it like “what’re you gonna do about it?” Their group chemistry is so much of what makes them funny.
I hold out hope one day someone will tell me to beat it before they get arrested, so I can answer with Chico's line. It's such a great line I would kill for the opportunity to use it myself. Not very likely to happen, but God knows I am listening and ready to say it if I get the chance.
@@halwasserman7905 And that's what makes the Marx Bros so great, is that you could bust out one of their best lines today and the wit wouldn't have dulled a bit despite it being most of a century since then. There's TV shows from the 70s, 80s, even 90s where the jokes already feel stilted and stale and yet the Marx Bros were out there killing it pre-WW2.
As a 58 year old brought up watching the Marx Brothers films I keep going back to them as the perfect pick me up. I’ve used so many quips and one liners all my life He was the best - end of!
Certainly their finest hour, only rivaled by the street vendors scene in Duck Soup where Chico and Harpo drive Edgar Kennedy crazy. Oh, that last gag where Henderson thinks he has the wrong room--absolute genius. You can see watching a scene like this how the Marx Brothers influenced cartoons.
I love the Marx Brothers. My all-time favourite comedy team and this must rate as my favourite scene by them. The whole of the scene is sheer comic genius. Recently I have been reminded of the part where Groucho replies to Henderson's remark "I notice the table's set for four" with "That's nothing: my alarm clock is set for eight!" That line has been revolving around in my head. It always cracks me up. There has never been a comedy team like the Marx Brothers and never will be. Luckily I have almost all of their movies on dvd. It's great to know any time I want to be entertained I can put on one of their films and know I an going to be in heaps of laughter throughout.
"You remember me, I'm Henderson, plain clothes man." "You look more like an old clothes man to me." Such an epic comeback. Groucho always had the most creative insults.
"What's that?" "Why that's the table, and that's the fire escape, and there's the door leading out I wish you'd use it I- I VAN TO BE ALONE" "YOU'LL BE ALONE WHEN I THROW YOU IN JAIL!" xD hahaha this scene will be forever legendary
@@Komicklepto So he claims, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Of course there are a few songs I have had trouble finding. It is very annoying actually, to have a song playing in your head and not know what it is.
@@Komicklepto “I vant to be alone” is what Greta Garbo allegedly said when she prematurely retired from movies. She lived the rest of her life as a virtual hermit in her apartment in NYC.
No matter how much we all love Marx Brothers and know that they are absolutely right, you just can't help it but feel sorry for their adversaries. Especially sherif in this movie. They literally draw poor man crazy in this scene.
Simple humor. Need more in this world?Every MARX BROTHER MOVIE is great?My favorite is DUCK SOUP? Went through 3 copies of it?2 vhs & 1 DVD. Makes me a MARXIST?
"Why don't you fellas be nice, get outta here before I get arrested!" "Nah, I'd like to stay and see that..." One of my favorite exchanges from a Marx Brothers movie. 😄
Me & a cool friend saw this baked in the early 90's🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 she was happy I had the idea! On KPLR 11 in St. Louis late night movie before infomercials had the stranglehold Y'know?
0:39 Henderson obviously pulls out some kind of paper from his pockets in this shot. However, in the very next shot they disappear completely and are never seen during the entire scene.
Does anybody know what song dear Groucho is 'humming' as of 0:20 seconds? It sounds very much like a genuine piece of music and I would imagine it is a very old piece now; but I'm most curious to learn if anybody knows! The magnificent Marx Brothers!
@@lotteweillThat is absolutely fantastic!!! Thank you so much for your most helpful and informative response, truly appreciated, please accept my heartfelt thanks! 😃 🔹🧡🔹😁
@@TPEsprit I'd rather accept a heartfelt apology. It took you 5 years to thank me! LOL. LOL. in my best (?) Groucho attitude. PS You're very welcome. PPS. 60 years later this scene still has me laughing out loud, again and again, throughout it's 3 and a half minutes. The Marx Bros. always my #1
@@TPEsprit PPSS After Groucho sings the first line, "When the moon comes over the mountain", it sounds like Groucho, in his inimitable fashion, is improvising a second line. He seems to be singing "and the mountains are over the moon", which,is definitely not the second line of the song. Groucho's is a much better second line, and an apt comment on that syrupy song, if you ask me, (not that anyone did ask me). LOL again.
@@lotteweill Haha! 😆 Yes, most unfortunately my previous 'phone wasn't working properly and I had problems receiving notifications. When we heard Celine Dion singing last night we were reminded of this melody, not without slight similarity. This caused me to look again and no word of a lie I'm so grateful to have been able to have this chance to thank you and for it to be received and I am truly so grateful to you for your marvellous insight into the original song! Yes, I agree, Groucho really brought the very best out of this song - and I am sooOooOoo unbelievably sorry it took me five years to get back to you! 😁🏳️🔹🩵🔹😉
Henderson: HEY YOU! Driftwood: Coming Henderson: What's a hermit doing with 4 beds? Driftwood: Well you see those first three beds? Henderson: Yes Driftwood: Last night I counted 5000 sheep in those three beds so I had to have another bed to sleep in. You wouldn't want me to sleep with the sheep would you? Henderson: BAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

"I beg your pardon I must be in the wrong room." Chico and Harpo transforming into an old woman in a rocking chair is genius.
"Why don't you fellas get outta here before I get arrested!" -- "Nahhh, I'd like to stay and see that!" Comedy GOLD!

Harpo using that bed to pretend he's a door was the best part.
... ONE of the best ... my god ... i also laughed so hard `bout the final scene ...
I started Marx brothers as a twelve year old and now that I'm 15 and watched so many movies, this is one of the best 5 scenes in my opinion
I think I started watching them at 13-14. I’m 16 now. Currently rewatching them again lol
I remember watching this with my history of comedy class in 10th grade and this scene had us all on the floor laughing
As visually stunning as the opera house shenanigans were, this may have been, writing wise, the greatest scene in the movie
You're lucky. In my history of comedy class we studied 'Full House' and 'One Day at at Time.'
"No, just me and my memories. I'm practically a hermit" Groucho at his best. Lines like that made him the greatest comedian of all time.
As a 58 year old brought up watching the Marx Brothers films I keep going back to them as the perfect pick me up.
I’ve used so many quips and one liners all my life
He was the best - end of!
"Say, what's that bed doing here??!" "I don't see it doing anything."
The Marx Brothers are my all time Favorite!! Groucho is my favorite Marx Brother.
This table is set for 4. My alarm clock is set for 8, that doesn't prove a thing. That's hilarious!
Comedies today needs to be more energetic like these guys
Just brilliant, the King's of comedy, thank you for the laughs Groucho and brothers 👍
This kind of comedy never gets old
The genius of the Marx brothers here at work! 'You look more like an old clothes man to me!' Priceless comeback from Groucho.
last time i came there were three beds .
I don't care about your personal life sir

Henderson: Hey, you!
Groucho:Coming!
Am I crazy or are there only two beds here?
Now which question do you want me to answer first Henderson?
Wow, bet this took a lot of rehearsing to choreograph the timing! They were so talented in the craft of performance!
They started their carriers in the vaudeville theaters, they were used working this way...😏
"You remember me, I'm Henderson, plain clothes man."
"You look more like an old clothes man to me."
Such an epic comeback. Groucho always had the most creative insults.
Robert Emmett O'Connor, playing Henderson in this scene, was the train conductor (uncredited) in "Best Foot Forward".
This scene is so incredibly funny. It's worth the movie. And the movie has other great scenes. Result? A masterpiece of humor.
"What's that?"
"Why that's the table, and that's the fire escape, and there's the door leading out I wish you'd use it I- I VAN TO BE ALONE"
"YOU'LL BE ALONE WHEN I THROW YOU IN JAIL!"

Omg too funny. Nobody was quicker than Groucho.
Masters of comedy nice to see so many of you agree!
A classic routine! The Marx brothers were the best! 👍
HENDERSON: Say!!! What's that bed doing here?
DRIFTWOOD: I don't see it doing anything!
IMMEDIACY!!!

What's that bed doing here?
I don't see it doing anything.

Lmao my alarm clock is set for 8
Classic Groucho I never forget a face but in your case I'll make an exception lmao
Henderson: old clothes man... classic line!
My all time favorite comedy team.
Nothing like these guys.
always make me laugh
Same here. Always!
I love them. Comedy genius.
The best bit has to be my alarm clock is set for 8 and that doesn’t prove a thing!!! Ahahhhaha gold!
A favorite skit. "How did these two beds get together?" Well... y'know how those things are...
God, I love them!!!!
Me too
Marx brothers were pure comedy legends.
Really
-What's that bed doing here?
-I don't see it doing anything
LMAO
That was slapdash yet epic all at the same time. XD
Only the Marx Brothers....
Pure comedic genius!!!
The best comedies and movies in my view,were the 1930's.So many movie stars just coming up and after that decade,Hollywood was never as good.
They were the BEST!
Hey, you!
Coming.
Am I crazy or are there only 2 beds here?!
Now which question do you want me to answer first?
This is absolutely genious.

One of my favorite exchanges from a Marx Brothers movie. 😄
My favorite line. Oh ths just the sanity clause. Chico. You can't fool.me. there ain't no sanity clause.
If your gona stay here all night you'll have to bring your own bed 😂😂
Life's so good when you don't just have characters like the Marx here but also the policeman who flows along. 😛
Golden comedy.
This has to be on of their funniest ever scenes!
Thanks again
No vulgar language just pure comedy

Im losing my mind lol
I see the table is set for four thats nothing my alarm is set for eight that comdey gold
"A wise guy."
I was honestly disappointed Groucho didn't have a response to that.
There is no responce to that.
@@edwardsomers3930 "Well, someone has to be intelligent around here."
"Really? Where did he go, I'm sure he can answer all your questions."
There are FOUR LIGHTS!
This scene was just as good if not better than the stateroom scene.
The Greatest Ever
Pure genius
The colonels suit arms make his hands look so tiny
This is like the OG precursor of Steamed Hams
Last night I counted 5000 sheep in those beds, you wouldn't want me to sleep with the sheep would you?
one of the funniest 3,32 on film. The Marx Bros and WC Fields the greatest of all time. There are no comedy performers AND writers today.
whats the song groucho is muttering when the detective walks in?
"A WISE guy!" LOL
One bed, what are talking about? Lol
Lol This is from the Marx Brothers’ first MGM movie
You left out the part where groucho says "your going to be late for jail"
Hey you!
Say the secret woid and the duck comes down.
No the alarm clock one was🤣🤣🤣
Masterpieces🤣🤣🤣
I am very glad their family emigrated very early to America
Lucille Desiree Ball said that she was scared of The Marx Brothers and The Three Stooges!
When
@@OdileOdile19 ...On the Dick Cavett Show. Groucho Marx was also a featured guest. Maybe you weren't around then.
1:46 Isn't there a song like that Henderson?
The caliphate of shebna?
Where's shebna bookings?
lmao brilliant
Cannot help it but feel sorry for Henderson. They literally tried to drive him completely crazy.
I think they succeeded.
I think your right.

I'm a great Marx Brothers fan - but I think Night at the Opera is overrated, compared to say Duck Soup or Monkey Business ... even Horse Feathers
