Prior to his death in 1977, legendary comedian, Groucho Marx was interviewed about the brothers who formed the wildly popular comedy troupe.
"Well, of course, Harpo and Chico were hilarious. I could never have done half of what I did without them. Zeppo was a handsome straight man who played romantic-like roles in several of our pictures. Gummo was kind of a goof who wouldn't know a joke if it hit him in the skull. Our oldest brother, Karl, on the other hand, was an unfunny block of wood who never shaved. We stopped inviting him to family picnics after he insisted the ants be invited. 'To each according to his needs, from each according to his means.' What horseshit. That stiff wouldn't even bring a bag of chips to 4th of July barbecues."
"I am sooo not an unfunny block of wood. I know plenty of jokes!
Knock, knock
Who's there?
Bolshe.
Bolshe who?
Bolshevik.
Thank you. I'm here 'til Thursday. No. Wait. No, I'm not. I'm dead."
Not funny and not good politics Marx.
