Groucho Marx Þetta er EINA greinin sem EITTHVAÐ vit er í sem hefur sést á þessu áhugamáli síðan ÞESSI grein villtist inn á áhugamálið 20. september 2007 (hefði átt að fara inn á /baekur). Getiði hvað? Þessi viltist líka. Hún á alfarið heima inni á /humor.

Julius Henry Marx fæddist 2. október 1890 sem er einum degi á undan afmælisdegi mínum en lést 19. ágúst 1977 - sem er 6 árum og 6 dögum eftir að móðir mín fæddist. Hann er best þekktur fyrir sitt hlutverk sem Groucho Marx, Amrískur gamanleikari og leikari, frægastur fyrir verk sín í teyminu "Marx Bræðurnir" og einnig fyrir verk sem hann samdi einn.

Þetta er fyndnasti maður sem ég hef nokkurntíman lesið um eða eitthvað eftir. Ég ætlaði ekkert að fræða ykkur um hann en ég ætlaði að sýna ykkur frábæra hluti sem hann hefur sagt yfir ævi sína í kvikmyndum jafnt sem utan þeirra.

Hann notfærir sér oft frábæran orðaleik. Misfyndið allt en hnittið þó.

Frábær quote:

A woman is an occasional pleasure but a cigar is always a smoke.

Mr. Grover [Í starfsmannaviðtali]: What experience have you had at a department store?

A likely story - and probably true!

Although it is generally known, I think it's about time to announce that I was born at a very early age.

I sent a club a wire stating, “PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION. I DON'T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT ME AS A MEMBER”.

From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down I was convulsed with laughter! Someday I intend reading it.

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception!

My experience is that people are most likely to listen to reason when in bed.

I don't have a photograph. I'd give you my footprints, but they're upstairs in my socks.
(Þegar hann var beðinn um mynd af sjálfum sér fyrir skilríki)

I find telivision very educational. Every time someone switches it on I go into another room and read a good book.

Die my dear? Why that's the last thing I'll do!

Frá kvikmyndinni The Cocoanuts:
We'll put free sheets on all the beds, there'll be no cover charge.

No, my friends. No, money will never make you happy, and happy will never make you money. That might be a wisecrack, but I doubt it.

Hello, Cocoanut Arms. Yes, we have a dining room. If it's fish, we have it. If it's meat, we have it. If it's fowl, we've had it too long.

Ice water? Eat an onion. That'll make your eyes water!

Be free my friends. One for all and all for me, and me for you, and three for give, and six for a quarter.

Frá kvikmyndinni Horse Feathers (þið megið bara leita að Wikipedia greininni sjálf, rosalegt vesen að skrifa þessa klausu!):

Whatever it is, I'm against it!

I married your mother because I wanted children. Imagine my disappointment when you arrived.

Well I thought my razor was dull until I heard his speech.

Baravelli, you've got the brain of a four-year-old boy, and I'll bet he was glad to get rid of it.

Why, I'd horse-whip you if I had a horse.

Frá kvikmyndinni A Day at the Races:

(Á meðan hann tekur púlsinn af öðrum karakter)

A man's only as old as the woman he feels.

A moose is an animal with horns on the front of his head and a hunting lodge wall on the back of it.

Before I speak, I have something important to say.

Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife.

Do infants have as much fun in infancy as adults do in adultery?

Eventually I smoked Havanas. A cigar makers' organization once said that I was the most famous cigar smoker in the world.

I remember the first time I had sex — I kept the receipt.

I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.

I wish to be cremated. One tenth of my ashes shall be given to my agent, as written in our contract.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I eat animals who are.

I'm not feeling very well, I need a doctor immediately. Ring the nearest golf course.

That kid's so smart, he could be the fifth Marx Brother.
Comment á Woody Allen

The husband who wants a happy marriage should learn to keep his mouth shut and his checkbook open.

The only game I like to play is Old Maid — provided she's not too old.

The secret of success is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake those, you've got it made.

There is only one way to find out if a man is honest…ask him. If he says ‘yes’, you know he is crooked.

Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others.

When I heard about Hair, I was kind of curious about the six naked primates on stage. So I called up the box office and they said tickets were $11 apiece. That's an awful price to pay.

Æji ég nenni ekki að skrifa meira. Á þessum tímapunkti fattaði ég að ég ætti að útskýra af hverju ég ætti að skrifa þessa grein og útskýri það í fyrstu línum þessara greina - og datt inn í LoveStar hugleiðingar og ég ætla að lesa hana aftur.

Lesiði LoveStar, eða þarna.. Sjálfshjálparbók fyrir hrædda þjóð eða hvað sem hún heitir. Frábærar bækur sem ég hefði átt að lesa oftar en einu sinni en ætla að bæta úr því.
