Marx Brothers = deadly.

Love Duck Soup.
I find it depressing that people haven't heard of them.

Laurel and Hardy / The Three Stooges also make me cry with laughter.

The Three Stooges

Curly is my favourite. Hes great in the clam soup sketch.

They were never as funny after he died.

what did you think of Shemp?

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

Shemp was great, wasnt he part of their golden era? Kinda confusing, he wasn't technically a stooge though was he, moe larry and curly were the actual three stooges? I just remember shemp being around.

Do you have any of the dvds?

Groucho's son, Arthur, published a brief account of an incident when Arthur was a child. The family was going through airport customs, and while filling out a form, Groucho listed his name as "Julius Henry Marx" and his occupation as "smuggler." Needless to say, chaos ensued.

Wash their three dicks.

I quite like The Marx brothers too.

Moe, Larry and Shemp were the original trio.
Shemp left in 1931 to pursue a movie career and was replaced by Curly.
Curly had a stroke in 1946 and Shemp reluctantly rejoined. Curly never appeared again aside from a cameo in Hold That Lion and he died in 1952.
Shemp died in 1955 and until 1957 was replaced by a dude called Joe Besser. Most fans ignore this era as Joe had a clause in his contract that he couldn't be hit too often. He even hit Moe back a few times!

They re-emerged in 1959 with a guy called Curly-Joe (real name Joe DeRita) and made films / shorts until the end of the 1960s.

Moe, Shemp and Curly were brothers in real life.

I have no DVDs. Their work has been mismanaged in the VHS / DVD era with a number of shoddy and incoherent releases. There was a decent 12 disc set released a couple of years back but I can't find it anywhere. Someone needs to tidy it up - after all, Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, Marx Brothers and Buster Keaton have had decent DVD releases.

 

[MDR]

Fantastic musicians they were too.

"I'm a victim o' coicumstance!!"

the Marx Brothers were brilliant

Laurel and Hardy too

Duck Soup has to be The Marx Brothers' best, closely followed by A Night At The Opera. I owe my father big time for introducing me to them so young.
