1996 I dressed up as Harpo for a Halloween party. I didn’t speak to anyone the whole night, did the leg trick , blew the horn. It was amazing how my friends and everyone at the party just got used to it as the night went on. My girlfriend at the time wasn’t thrilled.
Harpo is my favorite comedian! He never fails to make me laugh. The day after my father died a friend sent me this clip and it made me laugh.. God bless Harpo
I plan on getting it soon. I just ordered from Ebay Maxine Marx's book about her father, Chico. I also found at the Half Price bookstore "Why A Duck?" Harpo Speaks is next on my list. ETA: Nope, got "The Marx Bros. Scrapbook" first. Winner, winner!
I'm reading Harpo Speak now, and I am glad to see the "knives in the sleeve" routine in this collection. It's amazing that he was doing that routine in Moscow in 1933. What a chap, and what a life.
I wonder when these women auditioned for a part in a Marx Brothers movie, they were asked "How fast can you run in heels?" Margret Dumont was always perfect in her roles. Truly classic comedy
twicebitten thasme Oh, I dunno. It doesn’t take a lot of brains to laugh at Harpo. The tiniest kids can laugh at him. So I’d say anyone who doesn’t just has a stick up their butt!
There's a scene where two gangsters are playing cards. One shuffles the deck, plops it down on the table and says "cut the cards". Harpo pulls a hatchet out of his pocket and chops the deck in half. Cards fly everywhere! Hilarious!
Jonny O.P. Yeah, it was great! But seriously, you know what’s really asinine? Looking for comedy videos so you can toss soggy turds on everyone’s fun. This falls under the “if you don’t like this kind of video, why don’t you go find one you do?” argument.
I have started doing that leg routine on my wife. She falls for it usually if I catch off guard (she thinks I am handing her something) Has same response as the ladies in the film. So far, we are still married.
i did it to a friend of a friend when he went to shake my hand, and he was mortified, thought i was coming on to him, i had to explain from where it was from, which ruined the fun. I am going to try pranking someone really seriously business like in the future with it
I found myself absolutely in love with Arrabella's character (Played by Lilian Roth) who played the daughter of Mrs. Rittenhouse (Margaret Dumont). She (Arrabella) even had a singing part, a duet with her boyfriend Johnny Parker. It went something like; 'Tell me, dear, why am I so romantic...When you're near, why am I so romantic? What a grand feeling, when your lips meet mine...That certain something comes reeling, up and down my spine.' Something like that. It was cute and the two of them looked cute together. This is my favorite Marx Brothers movie. My favorite part was when Harpo and Chico were trying to expose Rosco Chandler as Abe Kibibel. (He's A-be, the fish man, A-be, the fish man...) Groucho as Capt. Spalding, the hunter who returned from Africa, told some fanciful tales about shooting an elephant in his pajamas (How he got into my pajamas, I have no idea) And bagging (Bagging sounds like begging) six tigers to go away because they were the most persistent tigers he ever came across. While there they also took some pictures of the Native girls, but they weren't developed, but they're going back... [Mrs Rittenhouse interjects] Lovely speech, Captain, thank you. Rosco Chandler then shouts 'Three cheers for Captain Spalding' and Harpo returns with three chairs :P The humor in Marx Brother movies wasn't always obvious. Sometimes you had to think a while and be familiar with pop culture references that were relevant at the time and I admire all their movies specifically FOR that. If you watch their material enough, it's like all four and everyone with screen credit are still here. Time capsules...That's what they are. Thanks for reading =)
A true “professor”! The Marx bothers at their best.....Chico & Harpo a double act alone....Groucho too even alone....but all three together are magical mayhem!!! :) :) :)
dont forget Margaret Dumont. She was Groucho's straight man and a critical part of the madness. She later said one thing that made them so funny was that she never really got the jokes so her look of perplexity was real. add in Zeppo as Jammison taking a letter to Hunadunna and it gets even better.
I was watching Duck Soup on Netflix earlier, and I found myself laughing my ass off... Why didn't anyone ever tell me about these awesome comedies from days forgotten?
LMAO, this is hilarious! I'm playing Banjo in my college's production "The Man Who Came to Dinner", and my director said to study Harpo Marx to get an idea for the 'leg-in-hand' bit. Also, that silverware bit had me in tears! :')
Nice! If you're at all interested, I'd highly recommend his biography, "Harpo Speaks!". Some great stuff in there, including when he went to perform in Russia and was being grilled by the border guards who had become suspicious of him. When they searched his trunk, they removed "four hundred knives, two revolvers, three stilettos, half a dozen bottles marked POISON, and a collection of red wigs and false beards, mustaches and hands".
There has been actors portray Laurel and Hardy, the Three Stooges, and even Martin and Lewis, Abbott and Costello, among many many others. But they’ve never made a movie portraying the Marx Brothers. Why? In a word, IMPOSSIBLE!!!!
I'm not claiming I've seen their movies more times than anyone, but I do know their films very well. A few weeks ago I watched Animal Crackers in the bluray edition (released 2016) and I was jarred to hear Groucho sing "I think I'll make her", meaning I will try go go to bed with Margaret Dumont. How could I be surprised to hear that? Simple; the accompany material in the bluray set says this print is from England, where that line was not censored as it was in America.
I didn't know what to do for Halloween this year, so I thought and thought... And then I remembered: "YES, OF COURSE, MY OLD HARPO COSTUME!!" I'm gonna have so much fun this Halloween. :'D Still, I can't make a face like at 2:31. xD
I've realized that Harpo's leg trick, and some of his other mannerisms, are very puppy-like. Some dogs will put their paws up when they want attention and then rest one leg on the human's hand. I wonder if he was inspired by animals?
And Chico is mine, but Harpo comes in second. My favorite I Love Lucy episode is when he and Lucy do the mirror routine when she and Ricky et al are in Hollywood. My first sight and knowledge of Harpo Marx.
I think it's chapter 15, the one where Wolcott buys the "clubhouse"on Neshobe Island and all the adventures they have there, I've re-read the chapter so many bloody times. I'm totally transported there and it seems so brilliant. By far one of the greatest chapters in any book I've ever written. The book itself is a masterpiece but I think we all know that goes without saying, haha!
cant imagine whats delaying that coffe pot..............where's the cream? I was rolling on the floor and thought i would die laughing when he said that!!!!
I just watched the restored version of this scene on the blu-ray and it has a hilarious censored shot restored of Harpo pulling off Mrs. Whitehead’s blouse by his teeth.
There's only a bit of the "fish/flask/etc." routine in here. When they performed for the British Royal Family in the 30's, the Prince of Wales sent them a hamper with all the items they used in the sketch ...
Harpo my boy i love him my favorite maybe cause i’m quiet and with my autism i feel like i can’t so i’m like him i try to show it or take it if i can i can speak but again
I can’t believe that someone put this together as the “best “of Harpo.. and every single one “cuts” the end (his punchline!)Someone should be ashamed of themselves!!!

Jason Well, you don’t know me but I’m very proud of you.
Cool!
That's legendary!
No wonder she's an ex-girlfriend. No sense of humour!
It that was my girlfriend, I'd make her walk home!!!!
Almost 100 years later and that horse picture reveal is still hilarious!
To the only man who has ever inspired me to carry around a picture of a horse. To Harpo, one of the true comic genii (more than one genius).
Harpo is my favorite comedian! He never fails to make me laugh. The day after my father died a friend sent me this clip and it made me laugh.. God bless Harpo
I am reading Harpo's book ... Harpo Speaks ... it is wonderful, he had a happy life ...
It was said the only time Groucho cried was at Harpo's funeral. Wow.
Damn good book, used to be hard to find, I got it in used book store in NY in 85
I plan on getting it soon. I just ordered from Ebay Maxine Marx's book about her father, Chico. I also found at the Half Price bookstore "Why A Duck?" Harpo Speaks is next on my list. ETA: Nope, got "The Marx Bros. Scrapbook" first. Winner, winner!

Harpo cracks me up with his facial expressions.
"Have you met the conductor? "Inspector!" "Inspect her yourself."
That leg trick kills me every time.
Silly Harpo, lifting his leg on everything, in a non-dog way... :D
me to.
I love how Harpo keeps giving people his leg to hold for no reason. It's a signiture gag that only he can make funny.
its adorable! lol
at 1:23 chico gives margaret HIS leg lmaoo😂
Lmfao 🤣 💀
Or reasons you haven't worked out yet
It was a gag instead of his hand to shame he gave his leg there's y your reason coming from the man himself
I burst out laughing when Harpo revealed his horse picture 😂😂
Harpo always knows how to cheer my up :')
"The gates swung open and a fig newton entered"
i thought i saw dat right😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆!!!!!!!!!!
Almost 100 years after and still hilarious.
i was laughing at the same time as wondering 'how does he do it?'
I bet it would still be hilarious in another 100 years
I've been in tears watching Harpo clips... their timing is absolutely perfect
This could go on for years!
I don't want to see this kind of humour all the time but once in a while this is exactly what I need.
I love Harpo, he's just so adorable!
He’s outrageous
@@jessicathethreestoogesfan2635 He is soooooo cute!
Im gonna start forcing people to hold my leg
Quemice I’ll take note of how you didn’t say “friends”. I doubt you have any.
@@beatsbyelvis6890 🤣😂
Hey Quemice, be very careful as you might find someone who'll ask you, Are you sure you have No further youth for that Leg.
He is just so cute in all these scenes. I can't choose a favorite because all of them make me laugh.
People who cant laugh at the Marx Brothers have missed out on something very precious .....A sense of humour
And an IQ beyond a that of a turnip.
twicebitten thasme Oh, I dunno. It doesn’t take a lot of brains to laugh at Harpo. The tiniest kids can laugh at him. So I’d say anyone who doesn’t just has a stick up their butt!
probably a Vulcan
I've heard there are several moment their scripts which say simply, "Harpo does something funny, everyone reacts"
There's a scene where two gangsters are playing cards. One shuffles the deck, plops it down on the table and says "cut the cards". Harpo pulls a hatchet out of his pocket and chops the deck in half. Cards fly everywhere! Hilarious!
lol
That's in a different movie.
That is from "Horse Feathers."

Is it sad that the movie is no longer on Netflix?
Dumont is just as good as Harpo's straight man as she was Goucho's. With Harpos she is having a very tough time keeping it together.
I just love the way these women say "What is wrong with you"? and "for Heaven's sake". Their tone of voice is perfect for the gags.

The bango character was based on Harpo Marx
@@MilesReiter ROFL!!! Thanks-I need to read this asap!
And Alexander Woollcott actually played the part in one production.
I’m watching Room Service right now on DVD. Made me giggle at parts, and enjoyed the story as well. Great performances.
Kenny Olivier good stuff
i love harpo....god bless you harpo marx....that face....those antics.....oh man
He definitely was a cutie!
Anyone who does not find the Marx Brothers funny, has no sense of humor at all. This is a great clip.
I love the Marx Bros. The Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, etc...
Anyone with no humor at is going to be accosted by a Marx brother.
im afraid it is you who has no sense of humour
No, it's not funny at all. Boring, lousy jokes, simple-minded for simple-minded people.
Witek M Correction... anyone who doesn’t laugh at the Marx Brothers has a stick so far up their butt that they could be used as a scarecrow.
remember as a kid watching their movies,and i still roar with laughter over and over again
He's...so...cute *.*
Yes. He. Is.
I always found Harpo and Chico’s antic funnier than Groucho’s because they were different each movie
If he ever spoke in these films, his Puch line would be "Here, hold my leg" 😂😂😂😂
GREAT clip...Thank You!!!

Enjoyed. Thank you
I love Harpo he's my favorite but I do love all of the Marx brothers ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I had to pause, to catch my breath... the poor ladies, lmbo. Ending soo sweet
Inspector yourself !! hahahahahahah
When I saw this movie for the first time... I was absolutely amazed. The great great Marx Bros.
the gates swung open n a fig newton entered LMAO
I absolutely love these guys. Their slap stick still golds up today. I wish they had done more movies then what they did.

Lol he’s a puppy
I am with you on every point. I love him madly. An angel and a genius.
Harpo Marx, Genius.
that guy and his brothers where the funniest people who ever lived
I totally agree with you but the crowd running things today probably hate them for reasons of contemporary feminism and millenial b.s.
And all 5 were very handsome young men, huba huba! I'll take Chico, thank you very much.
Love the comic duo.Memories.
"The flash" scene kills me every time XD
Harpo is universally funny across languages, cultures and even time itself. It's like packing a rocket launcher of humor while the rest have handguns
Harpo's my favorite Marx brother. 😊

ultimate troll -- lol !
He’s crazy
With Harpo, you don't ask why!
cant imagine whats delaying that coffe pot..............where's the cream?
I was rolling on the floor and thought i would die laughing when he said that!!!!
I spit on the computer when all that happened!
You exaggerate, sir
They were amazing!!!
Lol I love the random part when he runs around and slides as the lady says "out!" hahahh
can't get more funnier than the marx bros
"You wanna be a crook?!" (nods 🤣)
Since I was a kid I loved to watch there movies.
The best scene is missing where Harpo goes off it with a gun shooting everything it's the funniest part 😂
I just watched the restored version of this scene on the blu-ray and it has a hilarious censored shot restored of Harpo pulling off Mrs. Whitehead’s blouse by his teeth.
"He's either got that suit upside down or there is no law of gravity!"
For years i tried that leg trick with my family......epic fail, still cracks me up watching it every time.
What happened? We need more of the fish, the flesh, the flash, the flask, the flute ....
tyvm made my day someone needs to make a harpo chases the ladies super cut
Wonderfully funny! A national treasure!
This guy was a comedic genius.
Nothing today can even come close.
Very funny and extremely talented
The leg hitch is the best! lol 😂
Real actors.
Love those movies
2:47, a real laugh reaction.
Groucho best one liner ever
Animal Crackers is my all time fave
Reasons why one should carry a picture of a horse around, by Harpo Marx.
There's only a bit of the "fish/flask/etc." routine in here. When they performed for the British Royal Family in the 30's, the Prince of Wales sent them a hamper with all the items they used in the sketch ...
That's neat history :)
Cool!

Groucho really knew how to insult someone.
...And that is why we say, Hooray, Hooray, Hooray.
BRILLIANT SLAPSTICK !!!
oh hahaha fantastic!
That's what I thought 2 years ago, I was REALLY upset :D And at least 9 of their movies paid off well for me.
I like the ending
