i have tried doing that sweeping key thing, it is tough if you are not a piano player! the keys are heavy and there's a whole proper form to it. yet Chico's just playing this thing like a stick of button.

The Marx Bros were an ensemble. It defeats the purpose to elevate one as the "best". Obviously, Groucho's shtick was more separable as a solo act than the others' characters were, but that speaks more to the nature of his chosen character than to its superiority over the rest.

Apparently Gummo was the naturally funny one, just didn't come over on stage.

I thought Zeppo was the funny one?
