Old Stateroom
Where's the other half of this classic scene? I can't find it anywhere. This clip only shows a third of it, if that.
Groucho: "Tell me, stew -- do they allow tipping on this ship?" Steward: "Yes, sir." Groucho: "Have you got two fives?" Steward: "Oh, yes sir!" Groucho: "Well, then you won't need the ten cents I was gonna give ya."

The single best constructed and performed comedy scene of all time. Thanks, Jeff, I've had a bad day and that brightened it...

Where's the anarchy in comedy these days? No obvious jokes about bodily functions, just inspired sillyness. The Marx brothers never get old.
We've had lots of discussion about Wall*E, but none about the short "Presto," which is very much in the same vein as classic Looney Tunes, which obviously drew inspiration from the Marx Brothers. Two characters, no dialogue, classic slap-stick.

It goes completely off the rails when the manicurists show up.
Know why you never see anything this funny in any of today's movies? Because there isn't anyone smart enough to put together a sketch based on a concept this simple. Plus, there was only one Marx Brothers.

I've often wondered if someone were to adapt one of the Marx Bros. movies to the stage if they would be as funny without the Marx Bros.

The nike air force ones would even have numerous refreshed editions which achieves almost a total of 800 million dollars annually as a revenue account. Our team here in BAK even mentioned once in our postings that Nelly even added something exciting to it by coming up with a song called the Air Force Ones as an expression of his love for the iconic product. Nelly, as a leading hip hop sensation made an amazing influence to the overall popularity standing of the Nike shoe model.
