Vote B, even if it is a lacking bit from the Brothers...The Meaney shtick has never made me laugh

Is the unfuniness of A the joke? Seems like it. But I neither cringed nor laughed. I yawned.
The Marx Brothers are basically the Beatles of comedy, so I guess you could accuse B of obviousness, but since those standards haven't been set yet, and this isn't exactly the best-known Marx Brothers bit (maybe the equivalent of picking "The Inner Light" in a music cup or something), and A is massively unfunny, well...

I had to turn off Meaney's voice.
B had me cackling. So B.

I tired of the guy's delivery very quickly in A, but the material did little for me either. B is pretty good.

I found A actively unpleasant, annoying even. Nice deep dig on the Marxes, haven't seen that one more than a couple of times

I've seen Kevin Meaney's stand up a few times. Revered by other comedians, he came out of the closet about 10 eyars ago and then killed himself not too long ago.

There is a frenetic edge to Meaney that i can understand some people liking, but it just doesn't do much for me. His delivery and voice don't really appeal, whereas Groucho is One of the greats. That deadpan delivery is sublime. "Have the janitor come up and bring a window."

I didn't quite understand what was going on in the Marx Bros. bit, but Meany's set bombed and he knew it.
