Quite honestly, that’s not surprising. As a kid, it seemed like there was always a Three Stooges short on at some point, or at least, they got rerun a lot. Same with Laurel & Hardy and the Little Rascals. But I probably wouldn’t have seen any Marx Brothers if my dad hadn’t showed me their movies and explained them to me, explaining topical 30s jokes, their weird (to a kid of the 80s) personas, and why they were amazing.
The Marx Bros are a mixed bag: Groucho mostly delivers zingers, Chico is the fast-talker, and Harpo is insane physical comedy that suddenly turns into beautiful harp performances.
