You run out of words to express the sheer genius of these masters of comedy.I could watch all their shorts every day till I die and still be in awe of them
This sketch is genius! From the Oli's howls of pain to the ball face smack to the mis-direction punch to the Dad's upward looking K.O. stand to Stan's push-over to Stan's non punch hand pain to Oli's and the kids double takes. GENIUS 😂😂😂
Harpo Marx tried to do the punch with the unexpected fist in"The Big Store"..but..Stan did it much more convincingly and with genuine comedy than Mr.Marx..in "Blockheads".
Many of these gaga as depicted in this scene and so many others were from the genius comedic mind of Stan Laurel. There will never be another paring of two talents such as Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.
Wonderful, just wonderful, brilliant comedy . The best ever . “ is there going to be a fight? “ 😂 😂 😂. Gets me into tears of laughter. Everything is in these few minutes of pure genius. Compare this to awful comedy filth of today .
Ciao fenomenali Stanlio e Ollio voi con i vostri divertentissimi filmati avete fatto ridere proprio il mondo intero compreso me naturalmente R.I.P troppo aimpatico quel bimbo che ho visto 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
I dont know what say about laurel ad Hardy but these two were the best comedian actors and we will never ever get them but only old clips but then they were the only so sweet men ever seen upto now or nor any one can be like them.
Laurel and Hardy in the 40’s was never more than 10 minutes partly because of programming. There’s hardware and software. The 50’s TVs were mostly hardware and too small so they couldn’t hold longer shows inside them. Nowadays the software programming and larger memory with teamwork reaching out to you allows you to watch all sizes due to the chips and LEDs and Motorola involvement. They had to rely on Central Vacuum Theory or other theories like that. The Central Vacuum Theory and 100% basis of operation was a Catholic Ray Tube or CRT. It took up the whole set leaving almost no room for shows longer than 10 minutes or anything else and was very heavy. The circuitry and transistors with programming makes the difference to make an overall racism free product. The primary transistor is the BJT and FET is the modern version of transistor. The types of BJT are NPN and PNP transistors. Dynamism vs placidity. The FET is a unipolar device, which means that it is made using either p-type or n-type material as main substrate. It’s a racist free product. The jury convicted Chowvin on all 4 counts of racism. That should tell you something. 1619 BLM The proof is in the pudding.
I suppose this scene would not be shown on TV today because of the humiliating kicks-up-the-backside. But that is a legacy of the clowns: and still today at the circus, clowns may enact that sort of scene as shown in this clip. Laurel and Hardy were clowns. Their comedy derives from clowns. Most folk would sense that, but today’s culture executives have not a notion, nor do they retain, if ever they had, a sense of entertaining and being entertained.
Apparently the original ending to this was that Laurel and Hardy were killed and their heads on a mantle with Ollie turning to Stan and saying "Well, here's ANOTHER nice mess ya got me into!" with Stan just whimpering "I didn't mean it!" but the director didn't like that specific ending.
The ending with L&H's heads mounted over Billy Gilbert's fireplace mantel..That gag was used in "The Three Stooges"parody of Hitler"I'll Never Heil Again".
