I can’t believe how serious some of you people are getting about this. Who cares if the graph isn’t dead-on with their personalities, take the joke and laugh at it and be done with it. Yes, they were ALL musicians. Yes, almost ALL of them chased women. No, he did not include the less famous Marx brothers. It doesn’t matter, it’s a clever graph, shut the hell up.

Or it could be Gummo. After all, he wasn’t in any of the movies.

Chases girls? Um, Chico was a womanizer. That’s why his name was “chic”-o. I know this was already posted, but really, it bares repeating. Leaving him out of there is like saying Captain “Planet” is a local authority.

judging from some of the earlier comments, I think a number of the people commenting had no freaking clue – I’m glad somebody said it.

I always thought it was sad that Groucho died the same week as Elvis, and it got lost in the shuffle and barely commented on in the news.

Remember the end of Night at the Opera when they replaced the real scores with “Take Me Out to the Ball Game”?

Classic.

karl is NOT one of the marx brothers, that is why the person can’t understand why he would have a funny accent.

the reason is that americans consider ALL accents (including those of other americans different from their own) ‘funny’.

A clever idea, certainly, but not the graph is reversed.

For a diagram labeled “Marx Brothers,” the circles should have the names and the intersections should have the shared features.

FAIL!!!
Karl Marx was not one of the “Marx brothers” of the early 1900s, but the founder of communism who published the Communist Manifesto in 1848.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve had a wonderful time – but this wasn’t it.”

And, the best quote ever, which got Groucho’s TV show canceled:

(Groucho had on a woman who had 13 kids)
G: “Why do you have 13 kids?”
W: “Well… because I love my husband so much.”
G: “Lady, I love my cigar, but I take it out every once and a while.”

…CANCELED!

Zeppo? What about Gummo? Completely left out of the act after Vaudeville, and now this! No respect…

Hahaha win. That would have made me bust out laughing, if there was a line drawn to the center dot indicating Zeppo.

Otherwise, this graphs pretty good.

*Technically* Groucho didn’t really have facial hair until far after their well known movies, preferring a greasepaint mustache instead.

By: hackenbush

Groucho played guitar and sang (as well as danced).

Chico was the only one who had musical instrument lessons, according to their biographies, and Harpo only had a single lesson on the harp.

It’s definitely Duck Soup. It’s around the time Groucho gets the water jug stuck on his head in the war sequence at the end.

Groucho’s role in the musical act was singing and playing the guitar.

I’m not saying he couldn’t play piano, but anyone who would even TRY when Chico was around would just end up looking foolish.

See that little white spot in the middle that’s not in any of the circles? That’s Zeppo.

So close, yet so far. I can’t decide if including Karl and ignoring Zeppo was genius or a total lapse. Interesting attempt!
