What I think of the Marx Brothers.

 "The Marx Brothers! 2x as funny as before!"-Monkey Business Trailer. I believe the Marx Brothers are funny because they have mix of slapstick and word comedy. (This here is the viaduct. Why a duck?) They do have some 'bad' jokes, but over all are a great comedy team. With the four of them, they had extremely busy day-to-day life. They were filming one movie in the morning while doing shows at Broadway in evening.How ever, the running gags really never stopped. They also never 'changed' their characters. Yes, they had changed the names, but in the main setup, they were always their show characters; Groucho, the mustache and glasses wielding 'smart guy', Zeppo, the 'normal' one, Harpo, the mute horn and harp wielding maniac, and Chico, Harpo's partner and the 'brain' of the operation. They were the Marx Brothers, because all of them were the, well, Marx Brothers.

Zeppo's career was short lived, however. After he and Groucho got into a argument, he quit the show business. Zeppo had great mechanical skills and was largely responsible for keeping the Marx family car running. He later owned a company that machined parts for the war effort during World War II, Marman Products Co. of Inglewood, California, later known as the Aeroquip Company. This company produced a motorcycle, called the Marman Twin and the Marman clamps used to hold the "Fat Man" atomic bomb inside the B-29 bomber, Bockscar.

The Marx brothers were in 14 movies, not including the ones that only one was in. The first movie, Humor Risk, was destroyed, and no one knows why. It was a silent movie, and most of the Marx Brothers depended on verbal jokes. Some speculate that Groucho burnt them, while others say that they were left unattended in a room and burnt out. But, the other 13 quickly wiped it out peoples minds. Here's a list of them:

Humor Risk		(1921)
The Cocoanuts		(1929)
Animal Crackers		(1930)
Monkey Business		(1931)
Horse Feathers		(1932)
Duck Soup		(1933)
A Night at the Opera		(1935)
A Day at the Races		(1937)
Room Service		(1938)
At the Circus		(1939)
Go West		(1940)
The Big Store		(1941)
A Night in Casablanca		(1946)
Love Happy		(1949)

They made many movies (As you can see) and that's not counting the multiple performances. They were extremely popular, and are united with the word comedy. They are grand at making a otherwise impossible situation probable. I'll leave with a quote from A Night at the Opera:

"A hermit eh? Then why's your table set for four?"

"That's nothing. My alarm clock is set for eight."
