93 years old and so funny. Some humour never goes out of fashion
This is actually from 1938! In 1927, talking films hadn't yet been invented.
@@intotheblue96 Thanks for the fact check. I was reacting to the title. The point still stands. Good humour never goes out of fashion
Especially by these two who invented modern comedy as we know it ; situation comedy, character comedy , surreal slapstick , running gags all L&H innovations, and the "bonus" gags-like at the end of "Hogs Wild" where Stan is trying to start the car-just watch Ollie's face! It's a masterpiece of comic acting... there's so many of todays comic gags that everyone thinks are so original; I'm screaming "Laurel and Hardy did that gag !" Another thing that makes them so funny is the fact that Ollie is actually thicker than Stan ! "Why didn't you tell me you had two legs?" Priceless,
The Jazz Singer
These two were when comedy was more gentle, yet just as funny. And they were great friends for all their lives. An incredible duo to watch! Thanks India!
Gentle? While it was cartoonish and slapstick they basically beat the crap out of each other
not for all their lives as stan laaurel was born in england
Yes when one died the other stoped acting because he said it wasn't the same that he lost a brother.
One where they are delivering a piano to a house that had a long set of steps up to it from the street is hilarious.

Yes! That's one of their best!
The Music Box
"The Music Box" is a classic.
You know, Robert -- those long set of steps are still there. They did a documentary on L&H films & they went to that very spot. Those stairs in CA were still there. With all the renovating they do you'd think by now the steps would've been destroyed to make room for condos.
It doesn't matter how old these films are. Absolute comic genius.
Agreed
From all I've heard, Stan Laurel was as kind a person in real life as he was portrayed to be in the movies.
yes indeed. they were both truly decent gents. and dear friends too in real life.
I still call out "FRESH FISH" when i hear a horn.
Towed in the Hole, one of their greatest films.
They used to put these on at Christmas time (UK) in the early 70's when i was a boy and i used to love watching these two legends. I remember seeing the one with the monkey on the suspended wooden bridge with the piano................oh my life i thought my insides were going to burst out. My wife goes mad at me if i watch that clip on youtube because i am laughing just the same 40 odd years later. My own children love them too lol.
Why would she get mad???? Nothing wrong with a Good belly ache laugh. They still so funny. Sad to think tho that they never owned the rights to these films.
Swiss Miss
This clip is from "Block-Heads" (1938) and is one of my favorite scenes in all of Laurel and Hardy's films. Their reunion after a separation of 20 years (Stan was never told that World War I was over!) is so heartwarming, and shows why L&H are so different from other comedy teams. Other teams (Hope and Crosby, Abbott and Costello) tend to be rivals, but L&H are two innocent, kindred spirits united against a hostile world. They have a difficult friendship but it is unbreakable. We love Stan and Ollie because they love each other so much.
They were so ahead of their time. I laughed my socks off the very first time I watched them as a Young child and I still laugh at they. Clean, simple humour. Brilliant.
I have loved them for at least, 65 years or maybe longer!
Stan Laurel arrived in America from the U.K. on the same ship as Charlie Chaplin
That must be the highest comedian per ship in history of the world
he was chaplins understudy
His name was Arthur Stanley Jefferson then
I have loved Laurel and Hardy for 56 of my 61 years, and had the pleasure of knowing and interviewing many people who worked with them in the 1920s and '30s. Ultimately I wrote a book about how L&H made their films. I have seen in recent years how little kids seeing them for the first time will scream with laughter, even though the films are nearing 90 years old and are in black and white. I hope more young people will discover them. I was five when I first saw them and my love for them has never diminished.
How wonderful to be able to communicate with you. I've known your name for many years. but I confess I didn't know much about your background... until now - I just finished reading the Wikipedia article about you! WOW! I wish I had several years to talk with you! I seem to recall seeing your name on many IMBD film reviews. I'm guessing I also saw your name on those chats which, sad to say, have been terminated.
As for me, I could talk forever about my love for L & H. Yes, I climbed those "Music Box" stairs (all 131 of them). And yes, I made a pilgrimage to see the " Big Business" house on Dunleer in the Cheviot Hills area. And once upon a time I got to meet Chuck McCann! And here I am now chatting up somebody who has interviewed, among many others, Anita Garvin, with whom I have been hopelessly in love forever. I could go on and on, but I won't presume any longer on your time, except to express my deep appreciation for all you have done, and to say again what a pleasure it is for me to have this "chat" with you.
@@epsteinisms1483 Howdy, and thank you for your kind comments. I have a Facebook page which, not surprisingly, often has lots of postings about Stan and Babe, so if you want to hie yourself over there I'll "friend" you...as for 131 steps for "The Music Box," I mis-counted them in the first edition of my book (1987), but it's been corrected to 133 for the new edition!
These shorts are coming up to being 100 years old. One of their better known shorts is "Another Fine Mess" which is about 28 minutes long.
I love The Music Box.
@@breckrichardson390 Yeah, I agree. Watch every single one of their works.
This is just a clip from the film "Block Heads." It is 57 minutes long, and get funnier as it goes on....
It starts off with Stan left behind in a trench, not knowing that WWI had been over for years .. that's why his picture had been in the paper.
The scene with the stove explosion is still hysterically funny after all these years!
Only their Hal Roach Studio films. Most of their films for 20th Century Fox and MGM were mediocre. The only decent films were Jitterbugs and Nothing but Trouble.
Atoll K was an unmitigated disaster.
Still have Laurel and Hardy banks I got as a kid.
You're in for an absolute treat watching these two,, funniest thing ever!!!
The Music Box and you’re In a rabbit hole of laughter now 😂 these guys were INCREDIBLE!
The BEST!
Or the one about prohibition when they get drunk on tea. Can't remember what it was called but omg did that have my sides aching.
@@moodaymoom2271 It's called "Blotto".
I get hungry every time he describes his wife's cooking. "Brats" is really good.
Greatest comedy team ever! Great in silent films and even more successful in talkies. Legendary!
Always loved these two wonderful men, my old dad only had to look at Ollie and he was in tears of laughter, the word Genius isn't good enough for them. Wonderful wonderful comedians.
You should check out “The Music Box”. It’s a classic one of theirs.
Yeah that one ! Lol 😂😂 indeed
My favorite one. 🤣🤣🤣
It won the Oscar for Best Short Subject in 1932. It's a great little movie.
Oh, also “Babes in Toyland” movie. “Way out West” is another good one.
Has any of you guys seen "Brats" (1932) ? It's a story with shruken L&H selves as their sons, in gigantic sets. Unbelievable ! 😆
I always loved watching the facial expressions they made . They took silly and made it fashionable
I remember watching these guys when I was a kid. 42 years old and I love many of the old comedies. Laurel and Hardy were the first big comedy team in American cinema. While some of their work was passable, they produced quite a few gems--no doubt helped by the chemistry of two performers who were genuine friends in real life.
As a child I watched all of their sketches and movies many times. They've always been my favorite comedy duo. The world could use this type of comedy today.
I had said this before......when I was a child with an upset stomach, I would watch these as I was lying on the couch late at night while my parents were sleeping. Such fun and good company...even the background music is so nostalgic, note by note!!! Loved those 2 and still do. AND as a kid, I loved Ollie's slow burn at the camera!
@@zimjun7 Talk about serendipitous, I also remember being sick at home watching Laurel and Hardy. I always loved these guys far more than say The Three Stooges.
You have got to react to their recording of on the trail of the lonesome pine
Damn good singers and watch their facial expressions
Its brilliant
It was released in the UK in the 70s and I believe went to number 1
Even now they make you laugh and smile
Just watch the whole of Way Out West.....the dance on the steps of the saloon is pure gold as well
@@hannalee5756 Oh yes, I would definitely recommend that!😁
They are my FAVORITE Comedy team of ALL time! A TRUE CLASSIC. I even have 3 L&H posters in my house.
"County Hospital"......the whole film short is precious...."Hard boiled eggs and nuts.....mmmfhh!"....Also, "Twice Two".....very very funny with voice-overs and both Stan and Ollie in drag playing the opposite wives of the guys.....if you know what I mean.....you just need to see it....awesome 👌
You're fabulous India. So funny and real. Really enjoy watching you. What a kind, considerate and caring mom too. Stay with it!
I admire you for delving into unknown territory, hard to believe that was made nearly 100 years ago! Rock on India
This was a scene from Blockheads in 1938. One of my favourite short films by L&H is Busy Bodies, other great ones are Tit for Tat, Music Box, Sons of the Desert. I'm so glad you liked this.
I was born in 1957. They were some of the earliest comedy acts I saw, being replayed on afternoon television when there was only CBS and NBC. It’s said in later years you could find Stan Laurel in the LA phone book and he welcomed visitors.
Glad to see someone giving some attention to one of the greatest comedy teams of all time. "Helpmates" or "Hog Wild" would be a great comedy film of theirs for you to react to.
I always like the way they did the music in these old Laurel and Hardy flicks. The music started at the opening credits and played straight through non-stop until the closing credits.
A lot of their music was the latest popular songs of the day. In Beau Hunks, when Ollie is due to be shot at dawn, Stanley plays "All the world is waiting for morning" to cheer him up.
Excellent, And a wife that can cook, Very important.
I absolutely love Laurel and Hardy. Many comedic actors fell from popularity when film transitioned from silent to talkies, but not these two. Their best work was their comedy shorts IMO. They wrote their own scripts for those and were given complete creative control, including directing and ad-libbing.
Sadly for L & H, their Feature Movie work was often met with struggles. Unlike the comedy shorts, Movie executives would not give creative control to Laurel and Hardy. The movie executives only wanted to use L & H's fame to promote their own ideas and comedy suffered - but L & H fought hard to get some of their material in and still had their moments.
They actually were close friends on and off screen
There's something just so sweet about them and it's such simple humor. A great comedy team.
You missed the end when Hardy says “You’re better now”. That’s what Stanley said earlier. “You remember how dumb I was? Well I’m better now”. I think there's all kinds of other stuff such as Laurel trying to move a truck blocking their car and many more. Absolutely hysterical. You can watch it 1000 times.
These guys were real best friends on and off screen. Love them xx
Wow there's something I never would have imagined seeing a reaction to. I watched the hell out of these guys with my grandma when I was growing up.
This was from a movie 🎥 called Blockheads done in 1938 when they were in their late 40s - still funny 82 years later. Try reacting to a 2 reeler(about 20 min)called Big Business. It's a silent film but the action builds to a funny climax
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy had modestly successful solo careers, but when they became a team, comedic magic ensued. They made some silent comedy shorts in the mid-1920s, and successfully transitioned into the "Talkies Era". Laurel and Hardy also made some full-length films together, from the mid-1930s until around 1950. Oliver Hardy died in 1957 of cancer, and Stan Laurel died in 1965.
@@LaptopLarry330 Very cleverly they didn't rush into talkies like others did. They took time off, waiting for the glitches in the new technology to be ironed out. They spent the time working out exactly how they would use sound to enhance their comedy. They used some wonderful sound effects, such as the fly spray in "Our Wife".
When you consider that they were in their late 40s at the time just imagine how fit Oliver Hardy must have been in these sequences even though he was fat. Especially the one where he's carrying Stan and trying to pick up his hat.
@@CoffeeConnected I would not say that Oliver Hardy was remarkably strong, so much as he was especially tough. Comedians in the 20th Century that engaged in physical, slapstick comedy in films and on stage had to be very, very tough, because the wear and tear took a heavy toll on their bodies. Jerry Lewis got hooked on painkillers, and it took him a number of years to get himself clean.
Laurel and Hardy, Abbott & Costello, Martin & Lewis, Harold Lloyd were all staples as a child in the 70's... Stan & Ollie still hilarious and endlessly watchable... Good stuff...
The greatest comedy duo ever. My dad's in his 80s, he adores Laurel and Hardy and he kills himself laughing at these 2 all the time. If you look further into these 2 there was a lot of tragedy and heartbreak. When Oli died a little bit of Stan died as well.
The best comedy duo ever. These two could make you laugh without saying a word and make you laugh even more with their one liners.
One skit comes to mind... Oliver has the gout and Stanley asks Oliver how do you get the gout? Oliver says: From high living. Stanley reply's.. Maybe we should move down into the cellar. LOL.. I don't care what Laurel and Hardy short you review. Do them all because they are all good.
The best Laurel and Hardy short is called "The Music Box". It won an academy award. It's contrivance is moving a piano up a ridiculously long staircase. It's is very funny and "the" must see short of this great comedy team.
Love Laurel and Hardy! Thanks for reacting!
Lol you need to review some more classics with folks like Rock Hudson, Lauren Bacall & Humphrey Bogart! I never knew how scandalous those movies were! 😂
One of the funniest comedy acts to hit screens and stage you cant beat a bit of laurel and Hardy pure genius
Girl, you have just scratched the surface. L & H did just about every comedy routine that there is.
I feel like I've been watching them forever and that's because they easily pre-date my parents. Stan Laurel, by himself, made his first break out appearance in 1919. Basically, they are the model for every double act (both in the US and UK - as they represented individually both countries) since.
The old "...you didn't ask" gag was probably already around for a long time by this point but I think people would be hard pressed to find an earlier example of it on film. 🙂
Yes, I am putting the challenge out there for people who have more time than myself to go through old films or who have more knowledge of cinematic history than I do. 🙂
Oh man, this brings back memories! We would go over to a neighbors house along with the other neighbor to watch Laurel & Hardy on the projector while eating popcorn.
great choice love laurel and hardy
towed in a hole is my favorite but i love them all. you too! :)
Few years back I took an ear infection and was pretty much deaf for a couple of weeks. Laurel and Hardy (and Harold Lloyd) kept me from going bananas.
Their comedy never went out of fashion. It's just that no one can do it the way they did, so many have never seen it. Thx for reaction. :D
The Music Box - the one about moving a piano up a steep hill etc., won the first academy award for short subject film. YOU MUST SEE IT. Some people didn't understand the comedy of frustration, dumbness and friendship. These are the same people who saw ET flying past the moon on a bicycle and go out loud in the theater "I'm sure, that would never happen" but then go to see Dumb and Dumber and laugh and think this kind of stuff is new. Laurel and Hardy invented it. When people only judge this type of humor by logic, they have no soul or patience. They only understand verbal humor. I wouldn't want to work for them! This is called slapstick, physical humor with verbal humor. These two are the ultimate classic comedy duo. recently in 2019 they released a movie about them which is well worth it, it really tugs at your heartstrings with poetic license about their last days as a team, focusing on their friendship. You'll laugh during the film and cry at the end. "Stan and Ollie"
i love these two and they still make me laugh as hard as I did when I was a young lad glued to the TV watching them. brightened my day. great reaction👍
So much more...the greatest comic duo EVER
My Grandfather saw them Live in Belfast, Ireland as a boy. He said it was like the whole city came out to see them.
Laurel and Hardy were my brother and I’d favorites when we were kids. My uncle had recorded a bunch of their shorts and feature films off the TV and we used to watch them practically daily.
So wonderful to be able to see the world of 1927 so clearly, like having a time machine. That car was a work of art.
Here's how good of a friendship this was: Oliver Hardy died first. Stan refused to work with anyone else, though he was given many offers; and until the day he died, he kept writing Laurel and Hardy comedies.
I would love to see John C Reilly and Steve Coogan reprise their roles as Stan and Ollie and do that unreleased material that Stan wrote after Ollies passing
@@johnmagill3072 I'd pay to see each and every one.
There is a famous and widely-seen act about them going to get a driving license, that was only performed on stage in live shows, and often in rote-learned other languages.
It has never been seen on film, and is considered a 'lost' classic, as it proved immensely popular wherever they went.
When Hardy died Stan Laurel kept on writing new material for them for the rest of his life.
In spite of the frequent contentions, one thing I greatly liked about Laurel and Hardy compared to the later comedy team of Abbott and Costello was the warm friendship they Laurel and Hardy had, a warmth that was completely absent to the point of coldness in Abbott and Costello.
I can't imagine Abbott ever carrying Costello like this. He would have told him to get up and hop! Still, both are funny teams.
India, you are adorable and your facial expressions are priceless. Thanks!
OH MAN! 🤣 You should their Infectious Laughing scene!
I'm impressed that you chose Laural and Hardy. They had me laughing so hard, keep up the fun work.
Absolutely true India, keep your man fed well and he's going to be happy.
I hope you watch more Laurel and Hardy in the future. Many of their shorts and even some of their full length films can be found for free right here on UA-cam!
Some of my Favorites are:
-Liberty
-Thats my Wife
-Why Girls Love sailors
-Their First Mistake
-Towed in a hole
-Pack up your troubles
-Babes in Toyland
-Our Wife
-Way Out West
-Blockheads (a clip of the movie you are watching now).
Some fun facts about Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy:
-That they were life long partners and loved each other very much, spending more time together in their older years. Their bond is legendary. They were soulmates.
-They won a Academy Award for their short "The Music Box".
-Oliver was a very good singer and sung in a couple of their movies.
-Stan was a writer, director for a lot of their movies, going uncredited at times
If you wish to see a collection of Oliver hardy singing here is a video right on youtube.

'Helpmates'......Long ago, I rented a video of 'The Music Box'.....& 'Helpmates' was included on the same tape.
India! Love that you reacted to Laural and Hardy! Please do more.
The best double act of all time - watch The Music Box.
Everyone is recommending different Laurel and Hardy films to watch when what we really want to say is "Watch them all"
Pretty much everything from 'Putting Pants on Philip' until MGM had their contracts is GOLD, the MGM films are less so, but had larger budgets.
Basically Stan Laurel was no longer permitted to create their material.
The very last ones can be painful; 'The Big Noise' is in the fifty worst films of all time list.
@@stevetheduck1425 Quite right. I've blotted out the MGM years, I stand happily corrected.
It was decided (possibly by Hal Roach?) when they switched from silent films to talkies that Ollie would get wet in every picture. Many of the "puddles" he falls into are often over his head. The mangled cars that still ran after being damaged and were used in a number of their films were made by a firm that constructed them for the movies and cost more than what a new car would have cost from the showroom.
Love Laurel and hardy
Blue ridge mountains of Virginia from their film "Way out west"
Abbot and Costello " two tens for a five " . Only a couple of minutes long but hilarious !!
More Laurel and Hardy please The Music Box would be a good one
My absolute favorite is The Live Ghost. I’ve seen it at least 100 times and I still laugh out loud!
The key to a man's heart is being glad to see us.
Thank you for reacting to this xx
Stan and Ollie the greatest comedy double act ❤
The greatest comedy duo, and the greatest friendship. After Ollie died, Stan never performed again.
a hundred years old, and, still funny as shit.
God I loved there films all classics
So many great movies by these guys. ❤❤
Many Laurel and Hardy films have them driving in Ford Model T or A cars and trucks.
These cars were so easily found and so cheap, that sometimes three or four would be exploded, crashed, sunk in ponds, even bent into a curve so they could only drive in circles in one movie.
They managed to keep this up into the 1940s, and even later. That they stuck with this old car became a joke in itself.
Good to see someone react to the old stuff loved them when I was a kid
The end of this, when they meet the wife, has one of the funniest sequences I have ever seen - please take a look!
Wonderful! We need more of this gentle humor these days!!
Laurel and Hardy - the foundation of ALL comedy! ❤️
Ha, I had heard of Laurel and Hardy for years but never saw them in action until now.
The team of Laurel and Hardy was sometimes broken in their films, here due to Laurel never having been told WWI was over, and having a huge stockpile of beans.
Another is when they are separated by Hardy being killed in an explosion. Laurel sees Hardy floating up to heaven, looking down and being sad to to go.
Later Laurel is walking down a country road (perhaps years later), with the saddest expression on his face, sits by a fence to rest, looks up and smiles.
Then we see there's a horse with Hardy's mustache and hat leaning over a fence.
'Gosh I'm glad to see you!'
'Well this is another fine mess you got me into!'
It's a touch of what has been called Laurel's 'White Magic', where he can flick his thumb and cause it to light on fire like a cigarette lighter, or he can walk across a river ankle deep when Hardy falls in a hole deeper than him, and a number of others.
If their movies are watched from the point of view of 'who is the smartest, Laurel or Hardy?', this kind of thing shows up quite a bit, and it's a bit deeper than just slapstick or violent humour.
great selection. I had not seen them for a while.
I luvluvluv that you added old movies!!!
Glad you're back.
They are so crazy. I love them. My mom loved them and got me and my brother to be fans. Hardy is the always getting in bamboozled by Laurel. Every time.
You are for sure finding your way down the "Rabbit Hole now!
I love seeing people discover Laurel and Hardy
They were really best friends IRL. RIP Laurel and Hardy
Check out Busy Bodies,The Music Box,Towed in a Hole....just to name a few...
glad you did a reaction video of theirs...one of the best and funniest comedy teams..
Timeless humor from these masters.
