HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2013
- The old lady in couple #3 is the clear highlight of this episode. Neither Groucho nor his cigars impress her at all, but Groucho seems genuinely tickled by her.
COUPLE #1: Ann Rierdon, Arthur Murray dance instructor / Bill Eddy
COUPLE #2: Shirley Lestelle, a woman with a pip-squeaky voice / Charles Sandoval, who's wearing an eye patch because he's "sensitive to the lights"
COUPLE #3: Athol Smerdon, from Australia / Mary Sackett, a spunky old lady who complains about Groucho's cigar-- and he obligingly puts it out!

Groucho knew how to make the most boring people and situations hilarious. A true comical genius.
She rendered him speechless. He actually gave her a compliment by getting rid of his cigar. I don’t think he would’ve done that for just anybody.
he had no comeback, she earned that right to put the cigar away…plus he respected her like he respected his mother and grandmother so it’s the good son in him on display
and she did it twice!
Groucho did that to UP his ratings...ONLY! The Talmudvision is ALL about MK, and ...SHEKELS. VIEWERS +SHEKELS=CONtrol. (mind control) Simple math.
A lot of women were freaking formidable in the old days. A forgotten fact

Recently lost two dogs. Both old but dedicated and loving. Watching Groucho is helping us through the sad times. Where are the Groucho's of today???
We don't have one like him in 2021, he was funny, but I think some of the things he did or said are seen well or welcome to in 2021. Sorry for your lost. I have 2 dogs, and I don't want to think how I will feel the day they finally leave me. Hope you feel better now
Who can possibly dislike this? Thank you to whomever one thanks for these wonderful episodes of this amazing witty genius. I can watch them over and over and just wish all of them were available. Go our team who loves these these! Who's with me??
Hey, I want a DeSoto Firedome automatic, with full-time power steering, to drive around in the desert. I’m going to my Plymouth dealer first thing in the morning.
Plymouth is dead
You can buy them via Google.
Do not waste your time and money with those cheap Desoto's. Get yourself a great car with huge collector value, get a PACKARD.
Ha ha. Where’s your time
E machine
Groucho may have been before my time but I never get enough of him. I'm in my mid 40's and I would rather watch this than what is airing nowadays. Thanks for the laughter, Groucho. RIP
I used to watch Groucho reruns in the '70s.
Groucho will be a victim of “canceled culture”
@@davidjames666 yes, you are right. There are some things he said to people on the show that is not acceptable in our society anymore.
Mariangela SP love the Marx brothers films and radio shows.
Never really paid attention to him before but his technique was flawless.
I have never heard anyone quip so effortlessly.
That is literally something you dont see everyday. Groucho respecting his elders. Lol
It's really nice (and sadly strange) to see people who are simply decent. What have we done?
noooddle ; yes! What HAS become of us?!
There are plenty of good decent people around. We don't see them much because the indecent people get all the attention.
Are you saying you're not?
noooddle What do you mean “we”? I had no part in creating this debacle. Soon I will be dead, and no one will be happier than I to be out of this mess.
do stick around for a while, surprisingly happy events can occur any ol' time! x
a showstopper: 18:46 "and if you'll dispose of the cigar I'll thank you."
This corny humor never appealed to me.
The fact that she objected to him opening another cigar even though he wasn't going to light it makes me think maybe the old spinster just didn't like anything that's cigar shaped.
how many of his guests wanted to say this but lacked the moxie?
She said it everywhere and lived to 96. Smart!
He HAD no choice. He had to quench that cigar....and put the 2nd one back in his pocket. Those were the good ole days
1954 was a great year. I came into the world that year & grew up in the 1960s, life was much simpler then. I miss those days.
I started 2nd grade. The Weekly Reader lied to us. They said the near future would be made easier for everyone by scientific advances work less hours, get paid more because of increased productivity and have lots of leisure time for traveling and hobbies. We didn't count on predatory capitalism to completely obliterate that dream.
You bet your life!
I miss those days, too. I came in the world in 1947 and grew up on shows like this. As they say, they don't make 'em like that anymore. Yes, I too, miss those days.
Sister Veronica
1947 was a good year for at least 2 of us here. And the aliens landed at Roswell...
Me too :(
How clever do you have to be to carry an entire show based off your wit and personality. Groucho was a genius.
+EM Pinball it's easy, you need to be relaxed.... he's smoking, u see...not a problem
+Sebastian Plugaru - until Mary made him dispose of it
Pinball is right.
Definitely smart, but he had writers I'm sure.
Groucho had two writers who interviewed the contestants. They wrote some one-liners for Groucho if he wanted to use them. To be sure, he ad libbed lots of jokes, but he wanted some material ready in the interest of professionalism.
Groucho on his death bed said his final words, "This is no way to live" A true talent all the great ones make it look so easy because of a fabulous Personality!
@Lilibeth Doherty. When George Fenneman visited Groucho when Groucho was in very poor health in his remaining months, Fenneman helped Groucho over to his bed and Groucho said to him, "You always were a lousy dancer Fenneman"! Lol!
There are several different versions of Groucho's last words. Another one is that a nurse came into his room in the hospital and said, "Mr. Marx, we just want to see if you have a temperature." He was so weak he could barely speak by this time, but he managed to whisper, "Don't be silly, Everyone has a temperature." According to his biographer Stefan Kanfer, that was Groucho's last joke.
@@jazzmanchgo . An even better response by Groucho to the nurse's statement that they just wanted to see if Groucho had a temperature would have been, "Are you planning to elevate it?".
@@jazzmanchgo I would never join a club that would have me as a member!
@@lilibethdoherty295 Well, that makes two of us! 😁
The whole family used to sit down and watch this every time he came on some fond memories. It's hard to believe I'm living in the same world these days

I'm in shock. Groucho upstaged and owned by a little old lady!

18:46 That old lady out smarted Groucho Marx. No easy feat, and funny!
I Love this spunky old Lady :)
The greatest generation
@@heathergustar638 Hello Heather, How are you doing?
I had to see this again. That ol' Mary giving Groucho the business was fantastic. Not many times in his career did he not have the last word.
The old BATTLE-AX won Round 1!
I very much enjoyed watching this, classic stuff
Groucho Marx was a natural, the dear old lady was great, Idaho, she got it!
I even liked the commercial!
so did i and im from the uk i felt so good
My grandparents and my mom and aunts and uncles were born in Idaho. And then when my mom was a little girl they moved to California where I was born and raised
WHOdaho???
"The Bank of America is a very big bank, as it so happens I've got $32 there myself."
DECADES later and it's still hilarious!
It gets funnier as $32 becomes less and less.
Al Capwn I think BoA screwed Groucho over during the depression. So he was remarkably polite to Bill.
$32 in 1954 buying power is about $300 in 2017 buying power.

"yes"
This is pure entertainment. This TV show has a radio feel to it. It was well produced.
The show started on radio in 1947 and aired on both radio and television from 1950-60. The radio and television versions were on different nights, and although the same contestants appeared on both, some sight gags were eliminated from the radio show.
@@bobthetvfan jhk
@Ray Carroll
There were a number of TV programs that were "simulcast", back in the late 1940s until sometime in the mid-1950s.
(So, they were produced with the radio listener in mind, too.)
The Burns & Allen radio spot was actually more entertaining, to me, than its simultaneous TV broadcast.
'The Lone Ranger' was also simulcast on both radio & TV
(1949-1954).
>>> The TV series ended in 1957.
'The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet had a long run, on radio, and was simulcast on TV when its television run began in 1952.
Production was different for simulcast programs because radio listeners had to be able to "visualize" what was going on...
And Groucho has the POIFECT face for....radio!
Go 49ers!
Mrs Sackett must have been the ONLY woman to ever make Groucho lose the cigar! :)
Bless her heart
@AJ T. By choice? Is that near Oakland? Lol
Groucho was SO respectful of her!!
I love that she finally got to answer a question and she was right.
Lol ! She was priceless!
She's a hoot 🤣
One of the best contestants ever-The old lady that puts Groucho in his place !!!
And Groucho loves it, too!
The day groucho got "out-grouchoed" !
Groucho got schooled!
...and as the cigar was part of his trademark look while on stage, he was a very good sport to put it away. A true gentleman.
@@007gunlogo The fact that she objected to him opening another cigar even though he wasn't going to light it makes me think maybe the old spinster just didn't like anything that's cigar shaped ;)
Mary was a tough customer ! I never seen Groucho speechless , Mary caught him off guard . Lol
Robert Downey Jr to bathe dhawter
@@robertsandwick9253 : What do you mean ?
@@robertdemitro1520 yumm
Respect for pioneers and elders was very high back then. Groucho used his 'silence' to involve the audience, while thinking to himself how to proceed with the comedy, making sure never to accidentally give offense.
@@electronwave4551 : yes ! But Groucho could think on his feet, fast ! The stuff he would dream up was orginal and funny , but true !
"I haven't seen a banker pay that much interest since the boom of '87". The highlight for me was all the bank jokes. Truly hilarious stuff. 😃
the funny thing to me is that he means 1887
Groucho was so witty. “They’re writing Johnson? I happen to know Johnson, he can’t even read!”
"He must get a lot of mail" LOL
Let's hope the Johnson technique hasn't been lost forever :-)
ruclips.net/video/Mh-q-kkwT3w/видео.html
"If you dispose of the cigar, I'll thank you." Groucho could not but laugh as with the rest of us.. Too funny!
The guy from Salvador might at least have glanced at his partner before answering. But that's how it was... I think George Fenniman got that award for being the most long-suffering, patient announcer in television.
Hey Figaro, George was a good-looking d00d too!
Honestly, I loved the way Groucho respected the older lady. He was a real gentleman in this instance.
Indeed! Not very typically Groucho-like at all.
However, it is not seemly to ask a lady her age..
Linda Kordich
If I was him I would have been tempted to point out that breathing was a very useful hobby to have ,at her age! He missed one there!
Linda Kordich Grabbing her cheek didn’t seem too respectful.
You look hot in pic
Reminds us how great Groucho was as a straight man -- that's the role he played opposite Chico and Harpo in the movies, and he fell into it elegantly here.
One of Groucho's less obvious strengths on YBYL was that he knew when to lay back and let the contestants take center stage.
I love the honesty of the little old lady .
People from the 19th and early 20th centuries have a very different aura about them than post-war generations. We are fortunate to be able to see and hear them through video. The clarity of their speech is remarkable and the lack of fillers is delightful.
Miss Sackett rules
Groucho sure has a quick wit The old lady wouldn't take any shit! Wonderful!
one of the best wits...EVER!
He used cue cards on some episodes.
Maybe he did? I don't know nor do i care.
Groucho was a Genius!!!!
Yeah I agree.
I found myself laughing a lot through this. Groucho's time is timeless he was such a comic genius!
No comedian in 2021 nears the art of Groucho Marx!
It's one thing to be a comic but respect should be shown to women of various age and he over-step her boundaries by touching her cheek as if she was some child? If it were me, I would have bitten his finger.LOL
@@angelacarleton9575 It was a different time.
I can see now where David Letterman based his skills on… very similair in manner and comedy
His timing is perfect.
Groucho was the best. Yes he was
a very witty intellegent man.
A little intimidating.. Johnny Carson still rules!
A creep
You can see your picture on Facebook when I am so thankful I am happy
I'm so glad the little old lady won $90 dollars .
Geography was a terrible category for a guy from Australia. Ms. Sagette saved that team
$90 was about$900 then. Almost enough to buy a Groucho Special at your local DeSoto Plymouth dealer. There might not be many left.
The old spinster is a gem.
groucho had a very clear & calm speaking voice
Never thought I'd see the day when Groucho would get owned ;-)
What do you mean by owned?
Didn't know he was.
@@christineforbing5302
It's an expression; it's been around for years.
That has to be the only time anyone actually made him ditch the cigar on the show.
He had it coming
@@christineforbing5302 It kind of means "one-upped" or "was bested by." It's been a phrase mostly with online video game playing since maybe 1999 - 2005, and I don't understand how it got started.
"You're really sorry but I'm not"!
I remember my dad bought a De Soto Adventurer in 1956.. That car was a dream to ride in... Push button Drive and Electric eye lights dimmer..
push button drive...my neighbor had a car that had push button drive but it was not a De Soto...the memories
I had a car with a push button drive. It was a '64 Dodge Dart. I loved that car.
Man, that "Groucho" was great!!! I'm so old I remember him.. I'm laughing.
A great program, real people. Groucho at his best ☺
Yup, nuthin' like real FAKE peoples!
George has such a sonorous voice. very relaxing
Could probably have made a good hypnotist.
smoog weird eyebrows
Yes, I just started listening to old radio shows like "Gunsmoke" and "Dragnet", and the announcer during the commercial breaks was George Fenneman for "Lucky Strike" and "Chesterfield" cigarettes!
@@themadbadger2920 His voice is so great.
@smoog, I LEARNED a NEW word today! :P
How I found this completely by accident, how great it is!
I often wonder if today's programmers know that there are millions of us watching 60 year old programs rather than hold back streams of vomit when attempting to view today's television offerings? Man, Groucho has been dead since 1977 and You Bet Your Life is a sample of what was once great TV. Funny, intelligent and brilliant it was and after six decades, it's as fresh as ever. Today, when it comes to prime time fare, all one can do is wonder what spoiled bitch the "Bachelor" will be hosing for a month or two after the competing HOs have been shuttled back to Neverland.
I must disagree. Many people think this is a golden age of television. There are MANY good shows, but unfortunately most of the best are on cable (like HBO or Showtime) or subscription TV (like Netflix or Hulu). Yes, there is dreck, but there was dreck in the 50's, too (remember Space Cadet?) Groucho was a special guy and that's why I'm watching this; there was never anyone like him before or since. But that doesn't mean other people have no value. I watch lots of TV and have never seen The Bachelor (or The Bachelorette, for that matter). There's enough good stuff that I can safely ignore the crap.
You are right Bianca, all the ignorant people that don't want to have to think LOVE today's TV shows.
Watch Dirk Gently, and then try not to think about it. Good luck.
Yes, there are idiots too
robert glenn Hm, maybe network tv, but across cable, Netflix, Amazon, and RUclips there are an unbelievable number of series' that will go down as classics.
Far outnumbering what the 50s produced.
But agreed, probably not on basic tv.
thanks for this! I'm from Argentina and I admire to Groucho's sense of humor
Used to watch this when I was a kid. Remember Beat the Clock too and more.
Hello Kathleen👋, How are you doing?
You said the magic word! Congratulations you are a winner!
when the old spinster from choice tells Groucho to dispose of the cigar - priceless - Groucho is so genuinely delighted with the genius of her comic delivery at his expense - the best comic bested
But, she was serious. And polite about it.
Valla, jou calling him a bestid? :P
I can't imagine calling a single woman a spinster today. Anyway, I honestly thought she was 90. I'm in my 70s and most women my age don't look nearly that old. (no, I haven't had cosmetic surgery or Botox!)
@@lottasunshine1325 i have been wondering if i might be the only person on this planet who has noticed the worldwide phenomena going on all around us - it seems so obvious to me - anyone who is older (as I am) would have to be blind or not trust their powers of observation if they do not notice - what i am trying to say is that yes it is true when i was a child that people truly LOOKED OLDER at middle age and in their senior years - and then things shifted - now more middle age and senior people truly look YOUNGER than their grandparents and great grandparents did at the same ages so many decades ago - phrases like '60 is the new 40' came into fashion around 20 years or so ago - you see what i am getting at ? - i am talking about a real energetic shift that has been happening in this world - i call it the transition from old earth to heaven on earth - a literal return to Eden - a return (I am sorry to say) that certain dark forces in this world are trying their best to screw up for humanity
@@VallaMusic That's kooky talk!
Mary was born in 1876. What a terrific interaction between her and Groucho. Groucho was the very best comedian👌👏
“And if you would dispose of the cigar, I’ll thank you.” LMAO I Love this lady. Born in 1876. Wow too cool.
Its 1875. She died 1969
Amazing! Much better than "Dancing with the Stars", eh?

He could have lift that 100$ question to her they probably would have got 190
I won't disagree.
Well that ain't very hard...
Hilarious.
I have always known that pens are tested by "Johnson "
because I saw this actual show in the 50s.
It popped just now after I was looking at a RUclips hockey video.
Magic.
Mary Sackett: July 8, 1875 - Jan 31, 1969
She was delightful & the most entertaining & got the only correct answer for them... and the breather exercises were impressive - don’t know many 78 yr olds who can do that with so much spunk
My heroine. A true old-fashioned, sharp-tongued, independent Yankee. Few could reduce Groucho to his knees like this.
94 yrs old when she passed. They built them tough in those days.
If she had lived 6 months longer she would have seen the Moon Landing.
Omg the old crow cracks me up........She has it going on
Mary Sackett is priceless! Solid New England stock.
Indeed she was!

Name just one game host working today, that is this sharp...
LOL
It’s a pleasant surprise for Groucho when he comes across someone with as much wit as him.
I was 4 years old when this came on and was not allowed to stay up and watch these programs - my sister and I were in bed by 7:00 pm.
2:15 - When a loan from the bank actually meant someone checked you out properly!
I don’t care if this was staged, it was smooth as silk!

@@Mr.Obongo Few things age well. 😂
Amazing!
@@Mr.Obongo it actually didn't age poorly at all. Just because we don't use dial telephones anymore doesn't mean it's a metaphor that is somehow inscrutable. Even most young people would instantly recognize what it is try to communicate. If it aged poorly, no one would understand what it means.
To a British viewer it's incredible to see Groucho in the course of a programme, plugging a commercial organisation.
Yes, I can see how it would appear odd to someone from the UK. That's just how TV worked here in that era. The commercials and mentions of the sponsor were sometimes integrated into the programs, and even when they weren't, the stars of the shows often appeared in commercial segments.
Podcast hosts are doing it again
That first lady was so nervous. Her arms barely moved. 😁
Just wonderful! I cannot think of anyone here in the UK who could handle a show like this today and make it so good!

Yoga
After watching lots of Groucho,I've come to realize what a master of wit and timing he was.This came from his innate genius ,as well his years on the stage and screen.
How....ordinary.
My favorite -- we see a very pleasant side of humanity in these shows.
I did live back then. We would always watch this show.
Back in 1986 I bought a 1954 Chrysler Imperial for $600. It had factory air that was so cold that actual frost would accumulate on the blower. It had a 331 cubic inch hemi engine. At that time it was the most powerful production engine on earth. I drove it while I served in the USAF and through college and it never let me down. Those were great cars.
$3230 was a lot of scratch in those days.
10X $3,230.00 in todays money....$30k
Enough too buy a home and car.
No wonder she kissed him.. He carried her.
No wonder she kissed her partner!
This is the funniest of the You Bet Your Life shows I know of.
Groucho had the best wit I have ever seen on screen. Never got to meet him in person.
I'm a spinster from choice..... Is that near Oakland? Lololol
LOL
That's actually an old world way of saying "I could be lesbian or just not interested in marriage "
When I was growing up, this show was already very old. I was too young to know the answers to the questions asked by Groucho, but recognized his genius (and kindness). His shows had already aired before I was born. It always gave me a curious feeling of deja vu that kind of scared me but mostly made me realize that the world has been around for a long time, that we are part of something bigger than ourself.
Hello Susan👋, How are you doing?
George had a very good announcing voice
"Can you support a wife?" Its a good thing I was not an adult in 1954. I probably wouldn't have lived long from the stress of my anger.
Love these old shows! Groucho was always a favorite of my grandfather and watching him in action always brings a smile to my face.
What a great wit and very sensitive with his guests.Read Harpo's autobiography recently. The brothers learned in a hard school.
dashercronin .Dashercronin14 I feel like one of the last in America to have learned well from that school. Today’s people don’t have a clue.
I miss these people, they had integrity, faith and they loved America.
What a lovely show. Groucho in response to money being insured in the bank: "Have you heard that the Federal Government is about 280 billion dollars in the hole?"
Priceless! We are still broke just, so much more!

A different day and age. Mary Sackett looks far older than 78. Life was hard on bodies back then.
And she lived another 15 years! 1875-1969....
After having flings with the other three.
and Groucho was 67. He looked quite a bit older than that.
Mo
Mary Sacket was born on 8 July 1875 in Connecticut and died on 31 Jan 1969 in Rosemead, California. And you're right about life being harder on bodies back then. Whew.
Born in '64 and regret having missed these days! The people of those days had no idea of the "good old days" they had!
The second contestant, Shirley J. Lestelle (1928 - 1999), is my all time favorite. She moved near me -- to Grass Valley, CA -- I would have gone to see her if I knew. Groucho was at his best in this show.
we very much enjoyed watching this

The mind of Groucho is amazing.
The car commercials are awesome! Thanks for keeping them in the program.
The first couple made plans for a date before the show...wow
Mr Marx is a very smart man. Quick thinking .I watched this show with Grandma.
You DO NOT want to miss this! This little old lady owns Grouch like a BOSS! But I gotta tell you, he showed RESPECT for women which we completely do not see today. Absolutely enjoyable to watch :)
YOU ARE RIGHT THERE IS NO RESPECT FOR WOMEN FROM TRUMP. HE IS A DISGUSTING HUMAN WHOSE MOUTH NEEDS TO BE WASHED OUT TO ELIMINATE HIS CRUDE AND HURTFUL WORDS HE SPEWS.
