- A seminal scene from the rich body of films by the Marx Brothers. I showed this particular scene during a lecture on hospitality at the New Institute for Achitecture, Design and E-Culture in Rotterdam (Het Nieuwe Instituut).
“Come on in girls, and leave all hope behind!”
Priceless. 😂
Watched this movie again last night for the umpteenth time. This scene still has me crying with laughter 86 years later. One of the funniest moments in Hollywood history.
Ah, come right in.
100 years old and I dont know how they filmed the final scene. And I don't want to :)
I wonder if anyone got hurt!
If you’re a hundred years old it’s great you can wonder anything
Harpo hopping on the trays KILLS me.
It's so hilarious how Groucho keeps telling people to enter that tiny room....Love it !! : ))))))))
I’m 66. When I watch this I imagine myself age 17, long hair sitting in front of the TV with my otherwise “square” father and we are both howling with laughter.
I sure miss those moments.
I was 11 when my dad got me into marx brothers. Duck Soup. We made it a competition to point out all the jokes. It was so difficult becasue we would be crying laughing and there wouldnt be time to pick them all. We always re watched every scene with Harpo in them. they were the best.
Genius. Talent. Brilliant.
"Come on in girls, and leave all hope behind."
U H hey I'm half Nelson hahaha!
You know, he does better asleep than I do awake.
Talented brothers had a huge chemistry on screen
"Are those my hard boiled eggs?"
"I can't tell until they get in the room"
You just can't top this today
The first time I saw this when I was a kid, I was laughing so hard I was crying!
To this day, if I read off ANY kind of list, it always ends with “and two hard boiled eggs”. Few get the reference, and that suits me just fine :3
HONK.
Make that three hard-boiled eggs.
Anytime my domino's job asks for three items out the walk in I always add two hard boiled eggs
The "Aunt Minnie" line was a nod to the Marx Brothers' mother, who started them on their comedic journey.
Seen this so many times and I still burst out laughing when Margaret Dumont opens that door at the end and they all come piling out.
Without a doubt, one of the top five greatest comedic scenes ever.
Todd Salvati
*THE* top comedic scene ever.
@@DantheToonMan, there's been nothing funnier than this scene anywhere, and the only other moments in comedy equally as funny would be countless other Marx bros scenes
Alvex Ok Or three stooges scenes, but theyr’e not the main subject of this conversation
What would you say the other four are?
This scene is GENIUS
Every line in this scene works, not a wasted word, and funny every time I watch it.
"Now he's half asleep."
"Yes, he's half asleep and half nelson."
And to think that this scene was shot in one take without any rehearsals, after test audiences reacted negatively to the original scripted version. Just goes to show what kind of genious Marx Brothers were.
@ Miroslav Tomic. One of the surest indications of just how great The Marx Brothers were as comediens is that when you watch the film, "A Night At The Opera", you don't have to watch the famous "State Room " scene -- you can simply close your eyes and just listen to it and it is just as uproariously funny as it is watching it!
I mistyped "Stateroom" as "State Room" in my previous comment about the Marx Brothers' film, "A Night At The Opera".
Michael Barlow that’s interesting, I never thought of just listening to the scene, I’ve always thought the scene’s success came from the visual of the expanding room combined with the dialogue.
It would be interesting to see the original version. It probably doesn't exist though.
They were so funny and still to this day they are funnier then anyone currently.
"Say is it my imagination or is it getting crowded in here?"
LOL I always say that whenever there's a rush at the grocery store I work at.
I do say it in a packed elevator lol. No one ever knows what I'm referring to
I like to welcome people into my house by saying "come on in and leave all hope behind."
what I say is: "you were exactly the person we were looking for"---- the smile is so "deadly clever"!!!!
VigilantRebel87 has a pick
@@MovieswithKennyK, probably because that same comment has probably been said in over 100 other movies and shows since the Marx bros, and many times in real life, it's just not that original of a comment, even though it's hilarious in the way and in the timing Groucho says it
This is one of the greatest scenes in cinema
Absolutely....everyone was good here
The funniest parts are the exasperated expressions on the manicurist and the maid Harpo is groping
I always end any list with "and two hard boiled eggs"
Make that three hard boiled eggs.
And one duck egg.
THOOOONK!
C'mon , what happened to all the hard boiled eggs?!
*HONK!*
When I first saw this, I could not believe my eyes. What geniuses.
“I came to mop up.”
“Just the woman i’m looking for.” 😂😂
Driftwood: "You'd better start on the ceiling, it's the only place not being occupied. And tell Aunt Minnie to send up a bigger room!"
Brilliant 🤣
They ordered 37 eggs (28 hard boiled eggs, 2 fried eggs, 2 poached eggs, 2 scrambled eggs and 2 medium boiled eggs and 1 duck egg) if i am not mistaken
Thank you for keeping track. I am always too busy laughing to keep count.
LOL, thanks
That's the EGGS-xact number!
Have you been able to see all those eggs on the trays when they bring them around?
Next time on Binging with Babish...
One of the classic comedic scenes of all time.
Definitely a go-to clip when a laugh is needed.
Did you want a manicure?
No, come on in
haha
Really amazing
Don't forget absolutely crazy scene
The manicurist woman is very cute. What is this actress' name?
Daniel McDonald .... I agree about the manicurist. And she has the best facial expressions during the whole time that she's there. I watch her, I don't watch anyone else. She's the only person in that room who reacts that the whole operation is ridiculous. And she did does it in a low-key way. Love the scene but love the manicurist more.
I saw a Bill Murray interview in 2018 when he was asked about the funniest scene ever put on film. Without hesitation, he mentioned the Marx Brothers Stateroom scene. I happen to agree. The bit was great not only for the concept, but it was set up so well that it played perfectly to the strengths on Groucho, Chico, and Harpo. You have to love the sharp one-liners from Groucho as each person come to the room. Chico is the perfect straight man justifying the zany Harpo with his own comebacks. Harpo is "literally" over the top with the nurses and later laying across the food platers. Great ensemble comedy.
This is a classic scene. I am amazed at how they choreographed this and executed it brilliantly. Great filmmaking.
Never stops being funny. I think I have been able to recycle more lines from this scene than any other. This is comedy that will never die
And two hard boiled eggs.
@@mussie302 *HONK!*
...Make that *three* hard boiled eggs.
I have watched this scene countless times and it still makes me cry with laughter.
Just what you need when you are depressed! Regards
+Lazarus0357 Depressed or not it's always good to watch the Marx brothers.
Same here, just had a bout of self doubt and figured I should watch some marx brothers to avoid worse.
+Willem Verheij Yes, the main point about the Marx Brothers is that they are always right, it is the rest of the Universe which is wrong. Regards
"Is My Aunt Mini in here" has to be of the best lines in any Marx Brothers Film.
“Did you want a manicure?” Groucho: “No, come on in!”
_"Uh, have you got any stewed prunes?"_
_"Yes, sir."_
_"Well, give 'em some black coffee, that'll sober 'em up."_
😝😝😝😝😝😝😝
It’s amazing that something from 1935 can still make you laugh so hard.
"Did you want a manicure?"
"No. Come on in."
Harpo is friggin hilarious! Hahahaha!
“Here to turn off the heat”
“You can start with him”
"Tell Aunt Minnie to send up a bigger room." Kills me every time
I see two things here, that Seinfeld made use of. The overcrowded cabin becomes the overcrowded utility closet, when Elaine pretends it's her place, so she can get food delivered, and she is soon joined by the whole gang, in the tiny closet. The "would you like a manicure?" becomes an unwanted phone call "would you like to subscribe to......?" Instead of "No, come in", Jerry turns it around to "Yes!" and hangs up. Turned around, but same thinking. Love the Sein.
An excellent homage!
Man that is pure comedic magic!😁
Minnie Marx once said to Julius (Groucho) “ Of all my children, I like you the least.”
Hard to get happy after that. He was an insomniac who could only sleep in a warm bathtub.
So giving her name credit as a character in this scene shows Groucho’s big heart. Unfortunately for him, he had to live in that overamped mind. Fortunately for us, he had that quick mind. The one, the only, Groucho.
Their mother really said that to him?!
Mother of the year, ladies and gentlemen!
@@chicoravelli5703 Second to only Peter Lawford's mother if the stories about her are true. Look up her story.
I'm the engineer i came to turn off the heat..Well..you can start right on him....
Classic Marx Brothers at one of their Best 😃😃
This version of the scene, which was not entirely how it was envisioned in the original script was improvised on the spot without rehearsing. The original scene was booed by the test audience so they decided to hastily re-shoot the scene. With no time to re-write the script, Marx Brothers simply demanded that cameras start rolling and keep on rolling as they improvise it.
Known differences between original and this version are:
1. Groucho was supposed to be pushed out of the room without his pants on when it became full of people and would hastily try to put them on before Margaret Dumont came into the scene.
2. Characters played by Chico, Harpo and Allen Jones were not supposed to be outside of Groucho's trunk and would remain in it during the original scene.
3. "Hard boiled eggs" part was originally scripted for a different scene, but when they had to improvise more dialogue for the new scene, which was considerably longer than originally planned, Chico and Groucho simply used the dialogue at the beginning of this scene.
"the phone"?!? "ill give u even money u cant get in the room"
if that isn't the funniest scene of all time you don't have a Marx sense of humor
if you don't think this is one of the funniest scenes ever put on film, you might not have a pulse.
@@floresarts my wife in a nutshell
All the wonderful anarchic comedy chaos of the Marx Brothers summed in one scene!
Young girl looking for her Aunt Minnie is an obvious tribute to Marx Brothers' mother Minnie Shomburg, whom they always credited as being the biggest influence in their lives and careers. Likewise, engineer and his assistant are tribute to Edward Gallagher and Al Shean, famous vaudeville double act from the 1920s. Al Shean was Minnie Shomburg's brother and, therefore Marx Brothers' uncle..
That's really neat! Thanks a lot for sharing! :)
My grandfather was born in 1899 and told us about the Vaudeville act of Shean and Gallagher. My grandfather would always say, "Thank you Mr. Gallagher, you're welcome Mr. Shean." We thought it was pretty funny and we use to repeat it to others as kids and thought we were pretty smart knowing something about ancient Vaudeville. I know my grandfather never made it to NYC back in the day, so the acts must have travelled around the country. I never knew Shean was a relative of the Marx family either.
@@stevestroh2267 Shean was their maternal uncle. In fact, it was Shean who wrote some of their earliest routines, including The Coconuts.
but pls explain why/how the engineer and the assistant evoke gallagher and shean?
SteveonLI One big guy and one little guy perhaps?
Classic!!! it just dosen't get any better than this!!
I watched all these with my mum. I’m 45 and I still howl with laughter. I always wanted to be Groucho with his quick wit.
I wanted Groucho to be my husband :)
I love the line, "Have you got any stewed prunes? Well give them some black coffee that will sober them up."
when I at the tender age of about 14 chose the Marx Brothers as my life coaches.. I knew life would not be dull :)
My favourite is 'is my Ant Minnie in here?' Can I use the phone?' Plus the Engineers' assistant 🤣🤣🤣
Masterpiece... always make me laugh.
Love this. I remember the first time I saw this. My friends and I went hysterical!
Timeless comedy! Sexual innuendo that are still funny in our time :-)
In your end-o, not mine.
This is THE funniest ever comedy scene from the world of film!!!
Like so many Marx brothers films and scenes, when I’m feeling low I know I can stick this on the telly and they never fail to cheer me up!
Thank you guys!
Did you want your nails long or short?
You better make them short, it's getting kind of crowed in here!
"I came to mop up." "You'll have to start on the cieling, it's the only please unoccupied."
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Pure brilliance
A classic scene...brilliant Marx brothers all geniuses full of talent...funny then now and the future for all to enjoy! :) :) :)
I think I remember that they were going to cut this scene from the film. But they performed this bit onstage and it got the biggest laughs that they kept it in the film. Classic scene.
They are brilliant!
wh
In this life I have two heros: Bruce Lee and Groucho Marx. Two sides of the same coin-- IMHO
I like how Harpo just throws himself on the plate of food 🤣
I remember that an episode of M*A*S*H paid partial homage to this scene (partial in the sense that it was only three people crowded in a room, or more specifically, a tent.)
Hawkeye and B.J are bunkmates with Col. Potter when casualties fill up the entire 4077. As the three struggle with fitting the cots inside the tent. Hawkeye broke into Groucho voice (as he often did) and said, "Hello, Room Service. Send up a larger room."
Season 6, Episode 18 - "Your Hit Parade".
Scene from minute 13
"You know he does better asleep than i do awake?" 😏
This is Solid Gold
Harpo asleep the entire time, LMAO!
And two hard boiled eggs.
+Darryl Ruiz Classic Marx Brothers Darryl. Love them.
Oh and one duck egg.
Edmund Fendel why a duck?
Madpodproductions
Cos Groucho mentions duck.
Why-a no chicken?
" Leave all hope behind"....ahahahahahahaha Dante's reference right there. Grande Groucho!!!
¨A night at the opera ¨ is the name of that movie
I laughed at this when I was a little kid, and again, just now, at 74. Good fun is ageless. Will it still be funny 50 years from now? Stick around, and find out.
I wish you'll still be laughing about this in 50 years. All the best and lots of health!
This is one of the funniest scenes in movie history.
I watched this literally dozens of times and I totally crack up EVERY time.
This scene was scripted a bit differently. Once the room was packed with too many people inside, Groucho would be pushed out without his pants on and would hastily try to put them on. However, after test audience reacted negatively to this version, new version of the scene was improvised on the spot without any rehearsals. The only other known difference between two versions was that characters played by Chico, Harpo and Allan Jones never left Groucho's case and remained inside it during the entire scene.
Absolutely brilliant just love the Marx brothers ❤️
I'm trying to remember exactly how the story goes, but the person they tasked to write this movie got writers block and he became extremely stressed out. He stopped responding to the studios attempts at communicating, so they decided to drop in on him. They found his room empty but there were pieces of torn up paper tacked to the ceiling. When they pieced them together, it was this scene. And it became iconic. Pretty cool story. Al Boasberg was his name.
One of the best Marx Bros. bits! I laugh every time. 🤣
The best ever!!!!
The comedy of the Marx brothers will live on forever .
On "You Bet Your Life," Fenniman always announced Groucho as, "The one, the only, Groucho." He wasn't lying.
Great comedy works with build-up and surprise.
"Yes he's half asleep and half Nelson". 😂
This is like my house when its christmas.
"Can I use your telephone ?"
"Use the phone ! I'll lay even money you can't get in the room"
..... and 2 hardboiled eggs
love the marx brothers
I've seen this so often and it still tickles me pink !
The "two hardboiled eggs" are part of our family-speak.
A Classic !
Oh hello Captain
