- In time for Chico's 130th birthday, I have made a fan edit of some of my favorite clips of Chico. I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CLIPS. All clips go to their rightful owners. This is just for entertainment purposes. Enjoy!

Chico’s piano skills are off the charts! He played classical stuff so effortlessly!
you can say the same about harpo's harp skills
There will never be anyone that can match their brilliance. They were awesome. Rip all of the Marx Brothers
The Three Stooges were pretty darn good as well to. Moe, Larry, Curly and Shemp.
Dan Basta Also Joe and Curly Joe. Not as good, but stooges nonetheless.
Amen
I’m coming to appreciate WC more lately. Like the Brothers and myself, he too didn’t suffer fools well either.
OMG! “There ain’t no sanity clause.”
I’ve loved listening to the Marx Brothers for over half a century now.
always amazed by how effortless Chico made piano playing look.
Correct, made it look so actually fun and easy to do. But ya just KNOW that it took many several years of practice
Harpo was, of course, just as skilled at playing the harp as Chico was on the piano.
Also the trick shots lol, that little bang bang shot with his finger, and the backwards hand swipe, guy's a show off 🤣
Edit - honestly had me transfixed as a child though, him and Harpo both when they do their musical scenes, it's *always* amazed me too. 😁
Was he playing for real???
@@robd1329 yes
These family of multi-talented artists had tremendous energy, comic genius, and heart. This is a comedy dynasty.
great artists, period.
Yes yes... I was always proud to have grown up a block away from where the Marx Brothers grew up.
I too come from a family of talented brothers but they come NOWHERE NEAR these boys!!!
They made me laugh a lot when I was a child and even more now!!!
@MichaelKingsfordGray You are such a troll, you do realize you are in the minority? Less people use their real name on a youtube account than a made up one. What's it to you if someone uses a nickname? I can't believe the amount of comments you've wrote slagging people off for this 😂 get a life dude.
Edit - yours sincerely, Karen McCall 🤣
@@shaneculkin7124 I guessed correctly. Your name and comments confirmed my thinking. You have great taste in comedians!
If you love Harpo Marx, and if you want to read a truly FANTASTIC autobiography, you must read HARPO SPEAKS. Lemme tell ya, ol' Harpo was a pretty amazing man and led a pretty amazing, colorful life!
A friend sent it to me last month along with the one written by Harpo's widow, Susan Fleming Marx. They're both immensely readable, especially the former.
@@mortalclown3812 There is one more of the Harpo trilogy, and that is "Son of Harpo Speaks" written by oldest son Bill Marx.
I've forgotten how many times I've read it!
Harpo has and always will be my favorite❤❤❤
I read that book many years ago, an excellent read!
One of my favorite books! Read it in junior high. ❤
Seeing those brothers show off on the piano warmed my heart.
Harpo was my favourite too , his facial expressions were so hilarious, combined together they were pure genius of comedy 😆
In the early '70s, Groucho Marx was asked by a TV talk show host how he thought his brother Chico, with whom he had performed for so many years, would be remembered by the entertainment industry. Groucho paused thoughtfully, then replied, "I think he'll be best remembered...as the man who introduced gonorrhea to the vaudeville circuit."
Brilliant!😉.I love the Marx Bros,Laurel&Hardy.Classic,timeless humour!
@Leonard Weisfeld The best jokes have an element of truth!
@@tompaulcampbell he was adorable! I don't know how any woman could resist, though Harpo was my favorite. I love the silent, crazy type.
His stage name, commonly mispronounced cheek-o, is supposed to be pronounced chick-o. He was given that name because of his notorious womanizing.
@@LazyIRanch groucho harpo n chico were all good lookin
It takes a genius to make comedy out of music, and this is pure magic !!
Their playing is pure dead brilliant....then now and even tomorrow! Thanks Harpo,Chico & Groucho for your comical genius. Never dated always funny! :) :) :)
Good comedy, especially visual comedy, never dates rsrfm24 and is a good yardstick with which to compare modern humour.
You forgot Zeppo. He wasn't really funny but he was a brother
@ Emma Dean. The only reason Zeppo was in the Marx Brothers' films was to provide the audience with a temporary relief from the comic zanniness of Groucho, Harpo and Chico by adding a romantic element to their movies with whatever beautiful actress his character was involved (or trying to get involved) with romantically. According to Groucho, Zeppo was not a very nice man in his personal life. Supposedly Zeppo was one of the inventors/creators of the pocket-sized cigarette lighter. Supposedly he made a huge profit on the manufacture and/or sale of cigarette lighters.
@@michaelbarlow6610 Stop making stuff up.
@@johnnyelizabethton . I don't make things up idiot!
No!...you can't fool Chico! I never grow tired of watching The Marx Brothers.
I loved the Marx Brothers. I discovered their movies on local late night TV when I was in college. Chico was my favorite! I never felt he got his due. Of course, as long as he got his check so his gambling could continue he was fine with that. He was flawed, but he has my heart.
For as great as Groucho was, it was always Chico and Harpo that stole the show for me, their dynamic was so perfect: the kind hearted, fast talking idiot and the mute, chaotic genius. Some of the best gags in the movies were between the two of them
Groucho is my least favorite of the 3. He even looks different from the other 4. Look at a pic of all 5 of them when they were older. They are out of costume. Groucho stands out among the other brothers.
"He's honest, but you gotta watch him a little"
The first time I saw that I laughed really hard
@MichaelKingsfordGray Who are you, The Name Police ?
Who uses their real name on a youtube account though? 😂
Worked in an office with a very incompetent manager. On the wall we had a framed picture of the Marx brothers with the sign of " Our hero's!". Kept us going !!!
Chico rules, always my favorite Marx bro. They said if you spent 30 minutes with Groucho you would think he was the most amazing person ever, if you spent 30 minutes with Chico you would think YOU were the most amazing person ever. Apparently he really knew how to make others feel good about themselves.
They should run these videos on a Saturday morning so the kids can come to know about them
@@j.michaeljefferson60 They show the Three Stooges on MeTV but I wish they'd show these fellas along with them
@@wh4193 You would think that the entertainment industry would have thought about it and deside the same thing as well. We can only hope
I like Groucho, I like Chico, but I always thought Harpo had the best lines.
thexalon : yes he (Harpo) Definitely have the best lines!
Love a good Chico scene. Chico is in my top 4 Marx Brothers, for sure.
Maybe even top 3.
@0:15
A time when the director knew where to aim the camera.
Watch a music video today, and all you see are dancers and singers, and almost always performing to a studio recording (lip syncing).
You almost never see the band members creating the music. You never get to see their talented fingers.
Of course Chico and Harpo had tremendous talent, and this scene allowed us to see it without any camera theatrics or special effects. Just raw talent, and we had a front seat view.
Today, talented artists have been replaced with computer generated scenes and all manner of studio processing -- it just isn't real. Whereas, this scene is real, and is why it is great.
"All you got is a fish and a flutes and a flitz and a flutes and a flitz and a flutes and a flitz and a flutes." Best Chico & Harpo Moment ever!!
Lol
I love at 1:35 the woman on the left has to turn around and hide her face from the camera because she's laughing so hard.
The MB were so incredibly talented and funny.
I always can't help noticing that woman in that clip. She's enjoying it a little too much for the director.
Nice catch!
On my husband's account-That is VERY FUNNY,I laugh pretty hard too when Harpo jumps up & down.That scene is from their final movie The Big Store.They then retired.But then a few years later came out of retirement to make A Night in Casablanca'cuz Chico needed to pay off his gambling debts.They were all geniuses'of their craft.R.I.P. Marx Brothers
didnt notice that b4 lol
@@connfyoozed whats NOT to enjoy?
As funny as Groucho was, Chico and Harpo just made him that much funnier!
A trio of brilliant comedians, may they all rest in peace.
These guys are hilarious! What a fun and talented bunch! 🤣🤣🤣
I just watched this again, and throughly enjoyed it. Chico is at his cutest (looks-wise and hearing his voice) in these clips. Be still my heart!
Chico could sure play a piano! When I was age 13 during 1974, I thought he was cute. I also thought those chocolate drops candy were shaped as his hat, without a brim. That candy is very sweet, with white stuff inside and chocolate on the outside. They are sold more often near Christmas. I watched all their movies in the 1970s, as a child and teen.
“I forgotta to tell you: I can’t wright.”
“That’s oké. There’s no ink in the pen anyhow.” 😂😂
A lot of people choose Chico or Groucho for their great lines , yet everyone forgets Harpo's famous ",,,,,,,,,,,,"! " or his < HonkHonk > or even his ( puts leg over your arm )......a true Master of Dialogue (or its lack )
his facial expressions were pure comedic genius
roger white
When they were just beginning to develop their personas for the act Harpo made up an Irish character. When the brothers were
reading reviews of the act the harshest comment was for Harpo’s performance. It was written that his speech and accent were so bad nothing he said was able to be understood. That’s when he decided “Then I won’t say anything.” It was the perfect character to throw in the mix.
Chico was my favorite. He was talented, funny, sweet, and I just wait for him to open his mouth, or sit down on that piano bench.
My first computer password was “swordfish”.
@@cards0486 Chico is my favorite as well. That piano playing is out of this world, and he and his bedroom eyes, and sexy looks, mmmmmm.
or his funny face he makes lol
@@cards0486 # Mood!
Groucho was the best read man in show business. His private collection of books gave him what would otherwise be an enviable college education. Chico was a math whiz, but he used it to figure long odds and wound up losing far more than he could ever win. His gambling addiction cost the brothers hundreds of thousands of dollars. Harpo was simply a lovely man, who lived the life he portrayed. He wasn't innocent, but he was just a sweet person whose love for children and animals was only surpassed by his love of music. He was another genius in the family, but practically illiterate.
wait harpo was illerate?
@@AceripXF I know from researching online that he left school in the second grade, after repeating it. That would make him around 8 years old.
@@texasmimi5566 huh....didnt know that
Harpo played several instruments perfectly, so it showed that he was extremely smart, amazingly talented, and apparently didn't miss much without several years' education. Nobody can just pick up a piano, harp, clarinet, cello, etc so effortlessly and produce such beautiful music.
@@VictoriaD36 He taught himself the harp, but learned piano by copying Chico's lessons when he got home. One of his earliest gigs as a child was as a pianist in a whore house. He played one song called "Waltz me around Willie", but in different keys and tempos. He played piano, harp, clarinet, harmonica, and wrote music as well. The man was a genius in every sense of the word.
They were extremely talented. So sad that those days are gone.
They don’t make them like these anymore!
The Marx Brothers were in the top five of the best ever acts!
I miss them and their antics! ❤️
Is there absolutely any modern artist, comedian, or actors as talented as these these three? Hard to imagine
No, there isn’t!
"He's honest, but you got to watch him a little" nobody will ever be this funny again.
I really never noticed how much he and Harpo resembled each other til now. ^_^
"You pay a little, we a little tough. You pay enough, we enough tough. You pay too much, we too much tough."
" I pay plenty!"
"Then we a-plenty tough!"
Hello groucho
You can't fool me, there ain't no sanity clause!!lol😆
That gets me everytime I a hear it.
that's funny.
One of the great lines in comedy history.
Only an "Italian" (Chico, but only played one in his films) would be able to get away with presuming "sanity" is their accented way of saying "Santa."
@@colinp2238 >>> Me too!
The sanity clause bit is the best ever! I just love the Marx Brothers. There's no one else like them now nor ever will be!
Sanity clause is a classic ! My personal favorite is the "Tootsie Fruitsie Ice Cream" bit that was part of A Day at the Races or the "Stateroom scene" from A Night at the Opera.
Love Chico (Chick-o).He was a fantastic "middle man",meaning he worked great with Groucho,worked great with Harpo,stood on his own with everybody else,and murdered the English language.Plus,he could really tickle those ivorys!
And was a cutie to see, too. In today's jargon, he was "eye candy". I never get tired of seeing him play the piano and his expressions.
Love them all. R.I.P. boys.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
_"You can't fool me. There ain't no sanity clause."_
*COMEDY GENIUS.*
My favorite line of all.
@@linshanhsiang >>> 👍👍
Always enjoyed these guys
Is it me, or do the Marx brothers hold up best of all the acts of that era.
I think Laurel & Hardy stand up just as well. Regardless, whether it's the Marx Brothers or The Boys, I'm still laughing hysterically at their antics today!
@@micthekwik Buster Keaton still works for me.
Yeah, these guys are a classic, HOWEVER, Nobody and I mean NOBODY can ever beat Moe Larry and Curly, or even Shemp, The Three Stooges! They were PURELY THE VERY BEST OF THE BEST!
Yeah, but you gatta like The Three Stooges. The Ritz Bros were awfully good. Ah, heck, in Vaudeville and Burlesque most all were good back then.
@ Dan Basta. The Three Stooges were very funny, but they were not at the level of comedic greatness as the Marx Brothers! Groucho's humor was a much more enjoyable, more sophisticated form of comedy than the Three Stooges.
I love the historical pieces the brothers (writers) sometimes insert into their films! At 4:20 in the 1935 classic, "A Night at the Opera" with Groucho asking: "Don't you know what duplicates are?" Chico: "Yeah, there are 5 kids up in Canada!" Refers to the recently-born (1934) Dionne quintuplets, then a worldwide sensation, for it was the first time a woman gave birth to 5 babies who lived past infancy.
My inspiration for learning how to play the Piano.
My inspiration for learning how to play the Pinochle
mine too!!!
Lives dedicated to making all of us happier!! Wow! How wonderful!! So talented and joyful!!🤣🥰
Chico and his bros are so talented comedians...the piano scene in the intro is so wicked!
Lucille Ball, who starred in Room Service, said that if the Marx Brothers knew there was a priest, rabbi or nun in the crowd when they were filming, they would strip naked in front of them. The reason only Harpo was on I Love Lucy. Lucille Ball was terrified of Groucho and Chico. I love the Marx Brothers and the Three Stooges. My dad got me hooked on all these old comedy teams.
As gifted as he was,he never really liked playing like Harpo did. And it is true that the family could only afford lessons for Chico,who would then teach Harpo what he had learned.
Chico had a unique style of playing the piano because he spent the money he was suppose to spend on piano lessons gambling.
I thought that I read the family could only afford to pay for one of them to have piano lessons, so Chico went then, when he came home, he taught Harpo what he had learned that day. Thus, both learned the piano.
KRB52 Harpo besides being a pantomime was a accomplished harp player.
@Ol Yeller The only problem was, Harpo wasn’t as good a piano player as Chico - I believe he only knew two songs, and his claim to piano fame was being able to play “ Waltz Me Around Again, Willie” with one finger.
Kim Gyorkos : well piano was not Harpo‘s mean instrument it was the Harp! and he played that incredibly well! He could’ve had a second career as an internationally renowned concert harvest if you wanted to I believe he had that ability he might’ve had to study a little more classical music and develop a repertoire but he could’ve done it I’ve no doubt! Very talented guy he is missed there was no want to compare to him not now not ever! That was a very magical a very special Period in timeWhich will never be repeated or equaled again! That America no longer exists and it ain’t ever coming back! Thank God for the films that have survived!
@@frankdenardo8684 With his own self-tuned self-learned style.
here on his birthday- thanks for this!
The only entertainers you can call "superstars" and still be "underrating" them!
3:03 Groucho: Here is a little peninsula and here is a viaduct leading over to the mainland.
Chico: Alright why a duck? 😅
Audio needs to be re done on the Why A Duck bit....otherwise it brought a smile to my face.
Groucho " That's in every contract. That's the Sanity Clause...."
Chico: "Haha you can't fool me! There ain't no Sanity Clause!"
Dumbass Marx with a funny sense of humor
i dunno im a stranger in town myself :P
AceripXF Why a duck?
"There ain't no Sanity Clause!" - still one of my favorites. There's more to that scene about the viaduct.
Groucho: "You know what a blueprint is, don't you?"
Chico: "Sure, it's an oyster."
Groucho: "How is it you never got double pneumonia?"
Chico: "I go round by myself."
love Chico and it's Groucho's contract....now the next part I don't think you're going to like.....
Their act was honed by years toughing it out on the vaudeville circuit. Every movie of theirs had a two-scene between Groucho and Chico, and some kind of friendship between Chico and Harpo. When you look at it that way, Chico was the glue holding the act together. They were all brilliant at what they did, though. There's never been a better trio in show business.
From the piano gag to the spitball war, 😮😆😆👍
Fabulous! Many thanks for a great clip!
"Don't you know what duplicates are?" "Sure! Those 5 kids up in Canada."
The Dionne quintuplets: first quintuplets to make past infancy and into adulthood. Taken from their family, they were exploited by the Canadian government for profit. Born in 1934, the first one passed at age 20: she suffered from seizures and lived in a convent. She was not to be left alone but a nun that was supposed to be watching her left when she was asleep. She had a seizure, rolled into her stomach and unable to life her face from the pillow, she suffocated. As of January 2019, there are two surviving sisters.
Daffy Duck: "Mr. Dionne, Puh-lease!"
brilliant as usual.
What a fantastic family everyone of them were unbelievable in their own field so talented is incredible, compared to nowadays, one thing is for sure you'll never have the likes of them again. Not only that each one of them had an incredible personal life you must Google each of them to learn about their lives from childhood through their career an death. As I say the word has never seen the likes before and never will again, God bless them all
Comic geniuses! Always made me laugh!
"There ain't no sanity clause." is a quote for the ages.
Call me unpopular but Chico was always my favorite.
You and me both.
Me too.
Chico was the big brother and the manager of the group. Without him they may never be the Hollywood legends they are today.
Oh, yea! My man!
William Perry The hell he is the big bro but he came after Manfred Marx died as a baby
I know this query might be cliche; but why can't we have comedic gags like THIS again?
So true my dear. This kind of comedy is timeless, at least to me.
@@comiketiger You said it!
@@alyssajones4368 😀❤
Because they performed at home and in vaudeville for many years prior to their films so the timing and humor was perfection.
@@celladora31 Gotcha
Unbelievable! I do take exception to the title. The best of Chico, on any Marx brother, would take hours to show, not 8 minutes!
Just classic comedy will never see you again
the part when harpo was looking for the flash light WITH A FLASH LIGHT LMAO!😂
"There ain't no sanity clause." Perfect ending.😂😂😂😂😂😂
I aspire to play that good
Not easy - I've been playing his repertoire for 40 years and I still don't have it exactly right!
I loved watching them as a kid in the 50's and early 60's
Left out one of my favorite parts of Conract scene..Groucho: " The party of the first party will hereby be known as the party of the first part." Chico: " I no lika that Party. Groucho: " Well you should have been to the first party! I didnt get home until 4 in morning! I was blind for 3 days!"
LOVE them and always will-SO funny SO many years later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great stuff.
Magnificent!
"And if you continue through here, you'll see a lot of levees." "Oh, the Jewish section?"
Levies*
ROTFL! 😂
we shure need this level of talent...now...thanks!
Nice!
They were unique and talented. I grew up with their comedy , Bud and Lou and the three stooges. That must be why I have a sense of humour!
Pure classic comedy. The Sanity Clause. There ain't no Sanity Clause. Sophisticated Classic comedy at it's finest. You will never see comedy like this ever again.
Insane talent.
Chico was my fave Marx brother.
I was hoping to see, eh get your tootsie fruitsie ice cream.
"Is this your picture?" "I no think so. Doesn't look like me."
Chico: I'm hungry. Groucho: If your Hungary go to Budapest.
They were the best and still hold water today...
And this is why Second City requires students to play an instrument, no matter what. For the best comedy, you need to use ALL available tools.
NEVER dated!! Glorious!!
I never dated any Glorias either - they’re stuck-up dames.
Groucho, Chico, Harpo, Gummo, Zeppo. All known five Marx brothers.
Monty Karllo?
Karl Marx wrote the most funny books :-)
There was one more Marx Brother who died as a baby named Manfred Marx
In birth order: Manfred (deceased at months old), Chico (oldest living brother), Harpo, Groucho, Gummo, Zeppo.
@@fredarok579 LOL.

Go to Gummo for that if you want the pro.
I remember when people in the movies and on tv had real talent. Wonder whatever happened to that idea.
