Groucho Marx is good for old times.
Hilarious in the Marx Brothers movies, but also amusing later on with his game show and other appearances.

Groucho for me too. He's so quick-witted in the movies.

This. But I would love to see more of Buster Keaton, those movies seem visually ingenious.
I was Groucho for Halloween. The only other actual person I' ve "been" besides me in fifteen years, since that mad scientist was just totally off the cuff...

Groucho. I like Harpo and Chico too, but Groucho's wit and wordplay make him my top pick.

And apparently so in real life as well. Groucho for me as well. Harpo a close, close second.
