The Funniest and Most Famous Last Words

1. Groucho Marx (1890–1977)

"Die, my dear? Why, that’s the last thing I’ll do!"

Classic Groucho—making jokes until the very end.

2. Dominique Bouhours (1628–1702)

"I am about to—or I am going to—die: either expression is correct."

Even in his final moments, this French grammarian couldn’t resist a bit of wordplay.

3. Pancho Villa (1878–1923)

"Don’t let it end like this. Tell them I said something important!"

A legendary outlaw and revolutionary—he wanted his final words to be just as legendary!

4. Drummer Buddy Rich (1917–1987)

Asked before surgery if he was allergic to anything: "Yeah, country music."

If you’re going to go, might as well get one last joke in.
