In my book they will always be funny! From looking at the pictures, I am some how amazed at how young and smooth faced they where. I also remember Watching Groucho on his TV quiz show, "You Bet Your Life", I must have been maybe 9 years old (1955?). They had a "duck" drop down, some times on the contestants head, can't remember if the "duck" came down for a wrong or right answer though? And of course Groucho always had a huge cigar.
