Marx brothers vs three stooges

So this was just a very random thought with an explanation behind it of something greater ... 
Always hated the three stooges. i mean they were funny enough. But it was the same bit over and over again. Ending with someone bring slapped and a woo-woo-woo. My brother on the other hand loved them. Would watch them all the time. 
Marx Brothers. That's where it was at for me. It was dumb jokes, usually with an obscure reference. It was wildness and crazy. Anarchy and pandemonium. Ending in a song. Nothing made sense. Harpo with his whistle. Groucho full of ribald and sexual innuendo. Chico the con man. Zeppo the handsome. 
It was deadpan and stupid and perfect. Duck Soup. What a movie. If never seen, i highly recommend. 
The point. Give me humor that i can think  about. Even if it is stupid.  And i will laugh all day.

  1. I'm not one for slapstick comedy so the three stooges never really did it for Me. Can't say I've ever watched Duck Soup, I will... Groucho Marx, however, has always been enjoyable for Me. I quite like the quirky off the wall humor (sometimes rather dry wit as well). The innuendo's always bring a smile. I tend to watch his interview with Cosby often... he was a remarkable man. I love 'Lydia, the tattooed Lady'. lol. And he was great on You Bet Your Life.
