this show is better than most shows on today.
Amazing ! Commercials that actually talk about the products!! What a concept
And nobody in them acts goofy . They had me drooling for a DeSoto !
Imagine if the US remained on bimetallism; we would have volatility in the market economy prices would be more competitive at the same time industries financial entities would compete for resources like precious metals, lithium, cadmium, cobalt, copper, magnesium, beryllium, tungsten, Rhodium, bismuth, ruthenium, uranium and Germanium. With more price stability than today. Taxes would be high but craftsmanship and workmanship would be better rewarded. Addam Smith would be concluded right and justified. However poverty would be less so and super rich as well. We wouldn't be at so often because that would be too expensive. Recycling would be better. We wouldn't have a higher life expectancy but we would be healthier because responsibility would be 4 times more costly.🤔
@@charlesmichaelschmitt6412 That went over my head Charles.
Well, here I actually disagree a bit. Beginning shortly after this era--the 1960s--TV advertising went to another level of creativity and humor. Today I actually enjoy a really creative ad, like the Budweiser "You Da Man!"[1980s] or McDonalds "You ate his face?", just to name two. There is no other value, their products stink and I never ever buy any of their products, at least almost never.
I am becoming addicted to this wonderful show. Not only Groucho's brilliance . . the contestants and Fenneman [who looks like Dick Enberg a little] . . and historical stuff, plus a little bit o'nostalgia, though I was just a child of three when this aired.
I'm not a car guy. But man oh man those 1950s DeSpot cars are absolutely beautiful classics!
You mean DeSoto cars??
Way back in 1974, I had a 1954 DeSoto. Big, heavy, and magnificent.
The ones on the video are approx. 1958....give or take a year.
@@bobstuckrath1805
unlike these latest (thin rolled steel and plastic substitutes), it was RARE for a vehicle to roll
over.
I purchased a new 1959 Plymouth fury 3 convertible, push button transmission 😊
The La Golondrina Restaurant is still open for business on Olvera Street. Amazing! Thanks to whoever put this video on yt.
Awesome
I hope it survives that virus with the 1% mortality rate that has everyone in a panic.
@@madelschmadel Amen, Maddy! It amazes me how gullible we are as a people! for example: Be sure to wear two, count 'em two completely useless masks! Why two masks you ask, because if you were stupid enough to wear one mask you're stupid enough to wear two!
@@MrMenefrego1 two masks and social distance. If one, why the other! Makes no sense.
Do they still crack eggs on the customers' cabezas?
Thank you for posting I am loving these episodes and learning about Groucho ...he was very witty and an entertaining man for sure!!
This is really good stuff. Thanks for the Memories. A 70 year old can still get some entertainment and education on CZcams.
@randall2020- The first three television shows I can remember as a child are "Mr. Ed," "Whirly Birds," and "You Bet Your Life." Geez... A time and world away from all the troubles of 2020! Age has it's advantages, but it can be a bittersweet affair. (And why I'm lamenting about it on your post, I have no idea. I guess I have too much time on my hands this afternoon.)
@@williamanthony9090 You and me both, William!
@@MrMenefrego1 I enjoyed this as well
That's why I cut cable off, not worth it just for the NFL, no good tv anymore
@@MrMenefrego1 And me too guys! 6/2/23 I'm 68.
George Fenneman was the the perfect foil for Groucho.
Yes, he really was.
I wonder if Andy Richter learned something from him.
Gleason have you seen the classic horror movie, "The Thing From Another Planet"? He was one of the scientists.
@@ronnyrono782 Wow, I gotta check that out.
This guy Carpenter said he got wounded on Noemfoor (in the Pacific); that means he was with the 503d Parachute Infantry, "The Rock".
Glad to see someone still reads history books!
We were six years old then, so we missed most of these programs. What a treat to look back in time and watch Groucho’s hilarious show.
Groucho was so damn quick - Do you have any money in his bank, or do you keep your money in your stockings where it'll attract more interest?
He really was. Part of the reason I watch him now is to learn. Humor is the stuff of life I believe.
Such quick wit!
I miss the dignity that our country used to have. I long for the day it returns.
Dignity it taught by example. There lies the void.
We were never perfect, granted, but it was a better time, warts and all.
That ‘58 Desoto ragtop was ‘loaded’ with twin retractable antennas and had the dual exhaust coming out of those beautiful chrome tail fins. 👍🏼
I want one of those Sweet 58 Desotos !
Absolutely! Hard to believe they made such beautiful cars looking at the Tupperware today
So do I...they were awesome...
..
When cars were cars!
Google your ques!tion, you'll find a restored one
I purchased a new 1959 Plymouth fury 3 convertible push button transmission!
I remember watching these show when they aired, thanks for puuting them up and i like the commercials
what a good sport the banker was
I enjoyed watching the commercial of the 1958 DeSoto. Beautiful American engineering.
Those DeSotos are to die for and so is that Israeli girl . She and her partner looked like they were meant for each other. You could tell they liked each other . Hope they got married .
The "duck" girls was so edible ! Yum ! The beautiful women in this show are encredible .
Damn!
That '58 DeSoto was a good looking car.
I'll take a convertible in white with red interior and red trim.
Those fins are sick!
That'd be great to cruise is the Christmas parade with
@@jeffclement2979 WTF, there's nothing wrong with fins. Why would you say.... ---- wait, "sick" means good now. Never mind.
@@akrenwinkle That's what I meant...Badass!
Google you can buy a mint one, just will set you back about 30k
Groucho Marxs was in a class all by himself. He is without question the best entertainer in the history of show business.
Groucho was smart to realize he had to spell some of these things out for the girls from Switzerland.
The problem is that spelling words in English isn't of any help to a non-English speaker. For example, A-L-A-M-O spelled out in English sounds nothing like being spelled out in German or Italian.
Grouchy was smart. These girls weren't.
@@dcasper8514how many people speak 6 languages??😮
Can you imagine something like a 58 heather blue DeSoto. Wow. Don't make them like that anymore!
The commercial got me sold. Tomorrow I'm going to the Plymouth dealership and gonna get thst 1958 De Soto! Therefore when I get hit by another car, it won't be ME that'll get totaled!
What did they sell for in 58'?, & how much is one of those worth today?..
@@MrMalibu30 $4,300
SwarthySkinnedOne sorry about that is Groucho is dead.
Don't forget to tell them Groucho sent you from the future
Featuring a 100% solid steel dashboard, non-collapsible steering column, no head restraints, airbags, or pesky seat belts to muss up your finely pressed suit!
These girls were very pretty very nice and very smart. Things like that happened back then. Not anymore.
THE JEWISH GIRL WAS CUTE.
Who?
The cars and women were so much more attractive and stylish! Never to be again and June 5th my moms bday
Well in our house apart from the internet everything's like the 1950s even tv and car and I'm only 33.
@@clifftonicstudios7469 now that's the life!
Thank you Groucho!
Aww the Mexican lady was so sweet
Thank you for sharing this, I enjoyed it very much!
Yeah, those Dasoto's are sweet! Beautiful styling!
I’m still amazed that I was alive at the time of this broadcast. I was three years old.
It's amazing how often the quiz part of the show changed formats over the years.
I think because they got bored and tired with the same game rules month after month so they made sure of the variety of the game
It’s a miracle Groucho lived to his late 80s having smoked cigars for decades!!
He didn't inhale 😮
They changed the show’s format when people were losing too much! The next formats made it easier to win...according to the creator, John Guedel’s(?) book
Thanks again for another gem
The last couple was just lovely
Phenomenal Woman, you're a good looker yourself!
Phenomenal Woman, you're a good looker yourself!..
@@truthntelling Good grief! You are living at a time when some people think as you do. Perhaps that's why I like remembering a time when most people did not think everything had something dark and sinister about it.
Groucho would have gotten destroyed for many of his comments today, asking personal questions, commenting on women’s beauty, making light of accents. People have become too weak and sensitive these days. Very sad.
whats sad is...today you would get destroyed ...SAD !
Our society is so blessed with wealth and and gadgets to make life easy that some spend all of their time nitpicking at every crazy social issue, real or imagined, rather than being thankful for what they have and living in America.
@@torccchaser6712 Is that REALLY the BEST comeback you could come up with? ... Now THAT'S SAD!
Frankincensed no, my friend this is exactly what America needs is more humor. Groucho Marx was one greatest Comedian of all time. I love his humor and so did my dead parents.
You know, some of you folks are fools. That was all part of Groucho's act. It was the character he played. And the network, guests, live audience, and home audience, knew EXACTLY what they were getting! Maybe some of the denser among you haven't noticed, but the quiz was the least part of the show, and changed drastically over the course of the series. The part of the show that always mattered the most, was the interaction between Groucho and the guests!
Very impressive 5 launguges! And the 58 Desoto's are so beautiful! Hard to believe they made such sweet rides, only thing these display models should have seat belts in them, it was a option, Groucho said back in 56 he had seat belts. Very beautiful cars also need to be safe, and a duel piston master cylinder for extra brake protection
push-button transmission, too.
Long wheelbase = smoother ride.
Those 50's cars were so long it took the back bumper 5 minutes longer to get there!
My father had a white 62 Impala
When we were kids we used to have a little Groucho Marx game that had a little miniature Roger that spun around on a magnet and then went to a question on the board it was really fun to play
You can tell Groucho has a soft spot for people: Groucho never wants anyone to walk away with nothing.
Groucho was so incredibly sharp.
He was the cleanest tooth in the mouth.
Yes it is Groucho and love his show.
Desoto really got the jump on Ford and Chevy with those big fins!
t4705mb6 yes we has something similar Chrysler New Yorker
Plymouth had fins too, with the push button auto shift.
This looks like it’s been through HD restoration, its looks stunning.
I love her this was b4 I was born. I was born in East Los Angeles. She makes me proud.
"So what do u soive in this ptomaine palace?." Priceless.
The Sistine Chapel is in Vatican City; not Rome.
23:07, dude is feeling Mac n pops the collar like the Fonz, AAAAAYYYYY!
Dam. I watched Groucho growing up,, way funnier than then. Groucho is the ladies man!
I was rooting for Heidi and Heidi.
13:32 Do you keep your money in your stocking where it'll attract more interest? Nice double entendre.
clever indeed and quick
@@theoakhills- Groucho was extremely quick on his feet. They did a remake of this show once with Bill Cosby hosting. Cosby was quick, and gave it the old college try, but it's damn near impossible to match Groucho Marx, and I doubt anyone will ever be able to top him!
@@williamanthony9090 Letterman may have given Groucho a run for his money, but no one else!
@@williamanthony9090
Wouldn't it have been funny if Robin Williams could have done a version of this show or even Don Rickles, just thinking about it makes me laugh.😄
The audience totally missed Groucho’s “hiddy, hiddy, ay!” reference to the chorus of Minnie the Moocher made famous by Cab Calloway. Since the one girl had lived in so many countries I thought she’d clean up on those questions.
Heidi ho. I didn’t miss it. My parents saw cab Calloway in Chicago and brought me his autograph.
Heidi Heidi ho. Groucho was the best!
That ‘58 DESOTO was beautiful.
Officially I am the dum best! 😛 I googled "who is buried in Grant's tomb"...
Homeboy had to take a quick look at those legs at 14:30 . I don't blame him .
A tiny correction: Mrs. Castilla de Bonzo is not a "Spanish restaurateur." She has plainly stated that she is from Mexico. This would be like saying that the Anglo-American owner of a hamburger joint is an "English restaurateur."
Corrected. I understand the difference between "Spanish" and "Mexican", I just wasn't paying enough attention when I wrote the description.
Tame creme rinse was good,I remember using it.
when did creme rinse become conditioner?
You put it on after shampoo as you do conditioner Does same thing , so i don't get your point unless it's just an insult.
no, I meant the marketing angle. It's the same stuff but it used to be "creme rinse" to help avoid tangles, now it's conditioner to make your hair healthy. I am old enough to remember it being creme rinse.
Barbara H. Yes,and it worked pretty good as a detangler. It was very popular.
I learned to drive on a 58 DeSoto
Nice duck! Great legs!
David Ramos. yeah boy..
David Ramos yea I agree.
it is my goal in life to be as quick a wit as groucho
Lots of luck
I would just get a tattoo of groucho with cigar in mouth. People would quickly understand who u are.
The La Golondrina restaurant unfortunately closed down last year in 2023, partially due to financial struggles during the covid pandemic and an expensive lawsuit due to plumbing issues. 😢
When girls were sexy without wearing six inch heels and tipping over.
Don't forget today's "wonderful" tattoos.
Ya now they wear (in America) stretch pants and t-shirts and some no make-up and fat!
@@m42037 what's wrong with fat????? OMG
I want a '58 DeSoto!
yes thx, but without the push button drive
I want the girl that came down in the chair.
God those word-of-the-day ladies were gorgeous. It seems they may have discontinued using them and went back to using the toy duck. If so, does anyone know why?
Quick witted Groucho. No script like the shows now.
Mrs Bonzo was married to an Italian. She passed away in 1977.
Beautiful car for being a 1958 sure. To bad this car isn't made today 2020. Wow I was 20 days at the time the show aired. Steve was good looking. Love Groucho
...reminds me of a town in Michigan named Nunica. It's located due north of Eleven-Thirty-Ca. Bada Bing bada boom!
Jim was ace and a hero.
Being from Switzerland, how do you not know where the Sistine Chapel ?!!
Especially since she said she studied Italian in Italy.
I'm sure both knew where it was, but were unfamiliar with the English term. I believe if asked about La Capella Sistina or La Chapelle Sixtine, they would have gotten it.
+@@akrenwinkle How would these terms be pronounced?
@@barrykendrick3146 "La Capella Sistina" (Italian) or "La Chapelle Sixtine (French). Most people- at least then- spoke German, Italian, and French fluently in Switzerland, English not so much.
A. Krenwinkle
English not spoken that much ? That applies to USA too.
Ruth from Israel has a great voice
12:00. Purple Heart war hero and no one applauds.
Being a decorated veteran was much more common in the 1950s, when most WW2/Korea veterans were still in middle age and in professional life.
raleighman3000 back then they were a dime a dozen
Back then, EVERYONE served in some capacity and that generation was MUCH more modest about their contributions to the allied victory.
raleighman3000. that's a shame..
@ Indeed, Dennis Prager calls the Baby Boomers the most narcissistic generation ever, a generation of navel-gazers.
that was an awesome car
That was a really nice pair of legs that came down to pay off the contestants!
The Sistine Chapel is actually in Vatican City, not Rome. The Vatican is a country.
Not really a country - a seperate, independent city-state within Italy.
One of a kind.
E W. you're right...
I was born in 1958. My father had a Plymouth Fury, just don’t remember what year it was.
That eggsmashing was so stupid. He really took it nicely.
At least it wasn't a real egg.
Man, they don't make cars like that anymore! I wish they did. ;-(
+TheFonz those cars were death traps.
+O L Inthecity Not a bad lookin ride huh 🚘
buscq musica romantica
I WANT ONE
I don't Gas Sucker for Exxon big $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Groucho got the question on the Sistine Chapel wrong too. It is not in Rome, but in Vatican City. The guests on these shows are so much more real and entertaining than the bots that show up on today's talk shows.
No fake showgirl eyelashes that a lot of the black girls are wearing nowadays.
Came for Ms Minnesota, stayed for Groucho
MISS, ...not Ms
Ten thousand bucks, That was a big deal in 1958.
First mistake I have noticed by uncle j.
The Vatican city within which the Sistene Chappelle is located is within the Vatican city not in Rome.
Rome is a wheel the Vatican city puts a home in Rome for the eccentric that allows for Pi to stretch that story of glory as far as the beginning. π is an operator 3.14259 is the smallest prime the perfect set of sets which yields a complete multiple of itself at aviary iteration. Rinse repeat
I noticed you made a few mistakes as well, like spelling Chapel wrong
I guess Dave Chappell really is Dave Chapel
My dad had a DeSoto
My dad hated them, built by the Chrysler Corp.!..
Ruth Herman originally from Israel which at the time was only 10 years old.
She would be 84 now!
She was 22 in '58..
He meant Israel was 10 years old in 1958
There was no Israel when she was born.
A funny factoid: I knew a lady in California who also was from Aguas Calientes in Mexico.
Olvera Street, Classic LA.
Great!
Before everybody had fake false teeth like they do today some people seem to have had pretty good smiles.
Funny I had a 55 desoto Firedome. I delivered pizza with it.
More, more, more....
I got all 3 I could use $1000 esp inflation-adjusted!
Duck from Minnesota has great legs.
Owning a business is a job
sweiland75 yeah but i have workers lol
DeSoto was on its last leg when the show aired. It would be discontinued 2 years later.
DeSoto’s last model year was 1961.
Hemi engine in that DeSoto, 160 HP,
2 Swiss girls knew nothing of famous land marks.
Push button driving. I want a desoto
19:16 "Gumbo, my 4th brother"
Wow Miss Minnesota,
Whoa Nelly..
Groucho's always trying to marry people!
