I really don't know too much about the Marx Brothers.

If I may ask, were any the Marx Brothers episodes about haunted houses or anything spooky? Thank you.

I should ask my sister that. She's the big Marx Brothers fan in the family. As for myself, Abbott and Costello to keep it close, and because they slightly edge out Laurel and Hardy in my affection.

I will say that all four of them made what they did look so easy, that alot of people underestimate the talent needed to do what they did.

I don't think there's any such thing.  But the films available are well worth a looksee.

I agree. The Marx Bros.-though they incorporated slapstick into some routines-were a more off-beat kind of comedy-the forerunners of MAD magazine and Monty Python.Thinking man's nonsense,I reckon.

Man, I sometimes wish I could ramble off one liners like that.  I wouldn't keep many friends, but I would have a fun time.

Heck, switch my vote from Abbot & Costello to the Marx Bros.  Like Newt said, they took it to a whole 'nother level.  Worth watching even though they never went into a haunted house!

It's definitely Laurel and Hardy for me.  When they were on their game like they were in "Our Relations," and "The Music Box," no one could even come close.  That was pure comedic genius.  I also love the Three Stooges with Curly.  The Marx Brothers were great in "Duck Soup," but I don't like their other stuff that I've seen nearly as much.  I do not care for Abbott and Costello at all.  I don't find them funny.  Although I do love "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein," despite the presence of Abbott and Costello.

It's really hard for me to choose which one I like the most. So in my mind I choose them all. Thumbup

Abbott & Costello for me.  I have a soft spot for "Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein" and the other monsters who showed up in the same movie. Also like their films with the Andrews Sisters.

On a side note, I had read a biography about them many years ago and their lives endly sadly from what I can recall.  Costello lost a a very young son in a swimming pool drowning accident, and Abbott died penniless.

MARX BROTHERS for me . . . but the STOOGES also hold a special place in my heart.

I picked the Marx Brothers but personally I'd like to see two more choices on the list: Hope & Crosby and All of the Above. If All of the Above had been there, I would have selected that as I like all these comedy teams.

We could also talk about the "lesser" comedy teams like THE RITZ BROTHERS and OLSEN AND JOHNSON.  And we could do another discussion of THE DEAD END kids and their various progressions (EAST SIDE KIDS, BOWERY BOYS) and rip-offs (Ray Dennis Steckler's LEMON GROVE KIDS).
