Groucho Mark Does His Favorite Skit in a Cartoon

[verbusen · 7/10 · 4 March 2021]

This is notable as it has Groucho Marx in one of his last "performances" doing the voice of Napoleon which his Wiki bio states is his favorite skit but never filmed before, Besides Groucho, there is a lot of Smother's Brothers for SB fans. Them and Flip Wilson were kind of contemporary when this was made and they do short skits with older comedians in different skits. It was definitely an interesting half hour to watch. 7 of 10. Look for it on the web.

Odd and awful

Just watched this weird comedy blasphemy on YouTube. The small galaxy of stars in this abomination must have been either very gullible or very desperate in their old age to lend their voices to it. It takes a lot more skill than R/B were apparently willing to devote to match spoken comedy routines with animation effectively. The animation looks cheap and rushed, and the spoken routines are out of sync literally but also in terms of style and tone. Poor Jack Benny gets roughed up by a cop while George Burns does nothing, not even a reaction.

But the worst part is the blaring laugh track after every sentence, funny or not (usually not). How people have rated this 7/10 is beyond me!
