I was never a HUGE stooges fan.
But "Duck Soup" is by far one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. (Marx Brothers.)

I have to wonder about people who mention choices which aren't part of the poll.
Anyway, while I'm big fans of both the Marx brothers and the Stooges, the Stooges win out.
The Marx brothers made about a dozen movies in less than 20 years. The Stooges did 190 shorts spread over 40 years. Winner: Stooges.
The Marx brothers had one member who actually had a long career (Groucho). The Stooges had two (Moe and Larry. The third guy kept dying). Winner: Stooges.
The Marx brothers had four brothers in the act. So did the Stooges. Winner: Tie
The Marx brothers films are rarely seen today. The Stooges are still being shown on TV. Winner: Stooges.
The Marx brothers films have long periods of not-funny content. The Stooges films do not. Winner: Stooges.
Harpo wore a wig and Groucho painted his mustache on. The Stooges were all natural. Winner: Stooges.
I never cared the Stooges, but if you watch closely, the Marx Brothers had some very funny intellectual humor and social commentary in their dialog.Originally posted by: conjur
Stooges were just slapstick, unbelievable circumstances.
Marx Brothers actually had a style.
Marx Brothers was the thinking man's show:
"I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know. I tried to take out the tusks, but they were in real tight. So I went to Alabama, there the tusks are looser."

actually, the marx brothers made a fair number of stage and radio productions, and many of their movies were based on those, so you can't fault them for having produced "less" work.
and most of the not-funny content was musical in nature. the marx brothers were extremely talented musicians, and i could watch harpo or chico play for hours on end. winner: marx bros.
and last but not least, there were 5 marx brothers, not 4. chico, harpo, groucho, gummo, and zeppo.
