Groucho Marx

Groucho glasses (also known as the beaglepuss[1]) are a humorous novelty disguise which function as a caricature of the stage makeup used by the comedian Groucho Marx in his movies and vaudeville performances. They typically consist of black frames without lenses (either round or horn-rimmed) with attached features including bushy eyebrows, a large plastic nose, bushy moustache, and sometimes a plastic cigar.

Considered one of the most iconic and widely used of all novelty items in the world, Groucho glasses were marketed as early as the 1940s[2] and are instantly recognizable to people throughout the world.[3] The glasses are often used as a shorthand for slapstick[4] and are depicted in the Disguised Face (🥸) emoji.[5][6]
