Create-A-Caption: Duck Soup

For this week’s Create-A-Caption, we are traveling back to 1933 to that masterful moment in comedy history, Duck Soup. This wild satire from The Marx Brothers finds Groucho as Rufus T. Firefly, president of Freedonia; Chico as his trusted aide and a spy; Harpo as Groucho’s chauffeur; and secretary Zeppo nodding his head. The film’s satire was years ahead of its time, and remains a comedy staple and is still spoken about with great admiration by fans of the genre. We’ve included a still from the film below, adding our own comment. We ask you to do the same! And, most importantly, have fun!

Should I open a cigar shop, or start selling my moustache wax?
