Marx Bros didn’t resort to that gross humor.

My favorite is “A Night At The Opera”, and also “Duck Soup”.

The first spoofs Classical Music Snobs, while the secong spoofs Politics.

As a musician, I Burst into laughter every time I see the pit orchestra turn the page and start playing “Take me Out To The Ball Game” right in the middle of the Overture. That’s what it’s like when you’re playing from sheet music!

Harpo in the Gypsy Woman Costume is hysterical.

The mayhem takes on a special quality when it’s onstage at the Met.

And the Music Contract Scene is brilliant. I’ve had to sign contracts like that!

Groucho preferred double entendres.
