Abstract

If one would like to sense the human mind in its full complexity, he should just reflect on the experience of watching one of the comedies produced by the Marx Brothers. Of a specific interest is Groucho Marx, the master of wit, whose signature walk is a “duck walk.” Why is it so funny to observe Groucho Marx walking like a duck?
