- Breakup Breakout: Groucho is the only one with a reputation as a solo act, having enjoyed a long and distinguished career as a writer and television personality after the family act retired.
- Spiritual Successor: The classic 1980 comedy movie Caddyshack was originally intended to be a poignant coming-of-age story with brief cameos by leading comedy stars of the day. As the parts of those comedy stars got larger, director Harold Ramis remarked that they accidentally made a Marx Brothers film, presumably with Rodney Dangerfield in the Groucho part, Chevy Chase in the Chico part, Bill Murray in the Harpo part, Ted Knight in the Margaret Dumont part, and original lead Michael O'Keefe demoted to the Zeppo part.
