I completely understand why somebody wouldn't find the Marx Brothers funny (as I say aside from Groucho their humour is a mystery to me) but I feel the same way about him as I do Laurel & Hardy. I know why many people are perplexed by their supposed humour but I find them uproariously funny (I reserve the use of the word uproarious for old comedy). Just to balance things out though, Chaplin is anathema to me.
