Please enjoy the best version of the vaudeville Mirror skit. Lucille Ball and Harpo Marx are incredible in this scene. From the episode ‘Harpo Marx,’ of I Love Lucy. Aired 9 May 1955.
The Lucy/Harpo skit was inspired by the famous scene from Duck Soup (1933) with Groucho Marx and Harpo Marx.
Aside from the Vaudeville skits on stage, the Groucho Duck Soup routine was inspired by this skit in The Marathon (1919) with Harold Lloyd.
Honourable mention goes to this X Files episode ‘Dreamland’ with David Duchovny and the incredible Michael McKean airing 29 Nov 1998.
