Stan Laurel en Oliver Hardy - zeg maar L&H (niet te verwarren met Lernout & Hauspie) - dansen in de film Way out West op een countrywijsje. Ogenschijnlijk een simpel nummertje, maar eigenlijk geniaal.
I've just been to see the new film Stan and Ollie and John C. Reilly and Steve Coogan nailed this dance....fantastic...Hopefully a new generation of fans will get to see this video. Even the Avalon boys were laughing at the end. :)
I saw the new Stan & Ollie film today and it made me want to watch this sequence again; a timeless classic that never tires. Hopefully the film will introduce a new generation to their genius.
I remember watching this particular clip with my Late Father when the BBC were showing 'Way Out West' one Christmas Day morning. It made both of us smile. God bless my Father and RIP Laurel and Hardy. They were timeless.
"Commencement to Dancing" Commence to dancing, commence to prancing. Commence advancing, right and left a-glancing. Amateur dancing, slide and glide entrancing. You do the tango jiggle, to the Texas Tommy wiggle. Take your partner and you hold her, slightly enfold her, a little bolder, just work your shoulder. Snap your fingers one and all, in the hall, at the ball. That's all. Some ball
The original lyrics to the chorus are actually : Commence advancing, commence advancing Just start a-prancing, right and left a-glancing A moochee dancing, slide and glide entrancing Do the tango jiggle with a Texas Tommy wiggle Take your partner and hold her Lightly enfold her, a little bolder Just work your shoulder Snap your fingers one and all In the hall at the ball, that’s all
My Father . Myself. My Daughter and My Granddaughter four generations all breaking our hearts laughing at this . Just proving that there comedy is ageless. GENIUSES.
@@RobertMcIntosh How true ! I saw the movie earlier this week & was blown away by how good Steve & John were in their roles ! One of the best films I've seen in years !!
@@jubalcalif9100 I was hoping that it would be considered for the Oscars. After all, Best Picture can have ten nominations. I've been wanting them to extend their nominations in the acting categories from five to eight. At least that way Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly could've been considered this year.
The fellow sitting on the steps doing the yodeling is Chill Wills, who later after leaving his singing group called Chill Wills and His Avalon Boys, became a prominent side kick and supporting actor in many westerns and other films. He was even nominated for an academy award as a supporting actor in The Alamo.
Are you sure you've got that right? Chill Wills is the yodeler? I don't know anything about it, but having read your interesting comment just googled Chill Wills, and the Wikipedia photos don't look like the yodeling fellow, and the article refers to Wills's 'deep, rough voice'.
@@vexllo Hi Savannah ,your name is luvly. Your so right-The first time I saw this film I laughed till I cried. Laurel and hardy RIP True professionals and not ego driven .Do u like the Marx brother's too.Kind regards Glynn n Greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 👍👍🤗🤗
Absolute perfection..im here via Stan n Ollie... I'm 47 yrs and only found out last yr that Stanley was a native Englishman.. What a legendary pair. Comedy legends genius and underpaid.
I love 😂these two guys rest🙏🕊🕊🦋🦋🌹🌹🌹🌹 Them AMEN.THERE FILM WERE SO FUNNY AND ESPECIALLY THIS ONE .GODBLESS THEM BOTH .THANKS GUYS FOR MAKING US LAUGH AND MAKING IDIOTS OUT OF YOURSELVES.YOUR NOT FORGOTTEN. 👍❤❤❤❤❤❤🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
I have always enjoyed laurel and Hardy films. Not just for the great comedy chemistry, but the window into the past. It's a history lesson in itself watching the film's and the 1920,s /30s backgrounds, cars, shops and people. R.I.p Stan and Ollie and everyone else who was in these magnificent films
Somewhere on UA-cam is a clip of a couple in Toronto who set up a tape of this music in a shopping mall I think, then began the dance. In no time, dozens of others had joined in and there was a big crowd, all spontaneous, following the step of the original dancers. Lifetime hard boiled eggs and nuts to anyone who locates this clip and posts the url. Thanks in advance.
Musical accompaniment provided by Chill Wills & His Avalon Boys. That's an incredibly skinny Wills providing the "bass yodel." He went on to be a durable character actor through the 1960's. Check him out in "Giant" (1956), and "The Alamo" (1960).
I went to see "Stan and Ollie" this past week and enjoyed it very much. I am glad they used this bit in that new movie. Nothing like the original Stanley and Oliver, that's for sure !!
If these two weren't the greatest comedy duo of all time, then I don't know what greatness is. One ironic thing about them is that Stan was really the brains of the outfit.
About the hardest thing to do on film is to make someone laugh. Much of their comedy was so visual as it came out of an era that was just adjusting to the use of sound. L&H had not been dependent upon it. Look at the non-verbal aspect of their comedy. Ollie's slow burn in frustration [much like Edgar Kennedy] and Stan's hand and arm gestures portraying confusion. Words just came along later to be the icing on the cake.
When Mary Tyler Moore had her variety show, she featured a segment wherein she appeared to be dancing right along with L & H in this clip. It was fantastic.
@@MartinHiggins1972 The Stones are outstanding - one of the best - but there's just no one like the Beatles. Mick Jagger used to call them the "Four-Headed Monster."
My initiation to Laurel & Hardy was 8mm films that Dad used to bring home from the library in the late 60's. It was such a treat to set up the projector and pop some corn!

One of the most delightful things ever committed to film.
Can you imagine anybody watching this without a smile on their face?
I could not agree more ! This clip never fails to brighten my spirits and put joy in my heart !! THANKS for your insightful comment ! :-)
The best ever
I was just thinking exactly the very same thing! Precisely the same thought. Exactly right. The best thing ever committed to film.
I absolutely love them. I think of my dad every time I see them. Rip dad!
Greatest double act of all time and second to none .
This is 80 years old and still better then any shit we have now
Than, not then.
Wow. Correcting a year old spelling error. Feel better, teacher?
@@WilliamT1964 i mean... I would
@@insertusername130 You missed out a period at the end of your sentence.

Then you aren’t broadening your tastes, making you look woefully arrogant!
I have seen this dance so many times over the years and it never fails to raise a big smile and a warm feeling that "all is well"
This scene is unforgettable.... I love it and can't stop looking at the performance of the great Stan and Oliver!❤
I've just been to see the new film Stan and Ollie and John C. Reilly and Steve Coogan nailed this dance....fantastic...Hopefully a new generation of fans will get to see this video. Even the Avalon boys were laughing at the end. :)
The film was brilliant. The backdrop of the Stan and Ollie film is the original of this in Way Out West
Grahame Eyre they should start making episodes of it again called the comeback and the intro to say we never die
I got a lump in my throat toward the end of the film.
Can't wait to see it. This is one of my favorite L & H moments of all.

Thank you for this. I mean that. I love this song.
I'm so grateful for the people who can restore these old treasures!
I showed this to a class of 5th-grade kids a few years ago and they just cracked up. I still love it.
Grew up watching these two in the late 70’s. Good wholesome fun. Geniuses. Miss ‘em.
And my childhood!! Lol
My Father . Myself. My Daughter and My Granddaughter four generations all breaking our hearts laughing at this . Just proving that there comedy is ageless. GENIUSES.
The greatest comedy team that ever lived. No one
will ever win their crowns. Rest easy, boys, and
thanks for all the laughs.
Love this film clip. Watching Ollie and Stan never grows old. Honorable mention to Chill Wills and his yodeling.
slapstick maestros!!....aint no better....and never will be!.
No many how times I have seen this clip it always brings a smile to my face! Thy were the best.
3 minutes of cinematic perfection.
The best comedians of all time.
Totally agree I'm 15 and I grew up watching them with my dad and grandad
Robin Williams should be in here to be honest.
One of the few acts that successfully made the transition from silent films to sound....The greatest comedy team of all time......
Pure genius. The way this was recreated in the new "Stan and Ollie" movie was astounding!
Wally Wingert I agree, I saw that film twice and was blown away by Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly.

My pleasure
I always sing along to the men and laugh at Stan and Ollies dance. Pure genius. Thank god for film. Preserved for eternity.
Classic, wonderful comedy. My grandpa introduced me to them, and I'm proud to have my 9 year old daughter adoring them as well. ❤
Two Great , and Talented Entertainers.
S'ils nous voient de là haut en train de rire à ce qu'ils font, bien des années après, sûr que ça doit leur faire bigrement plaisir.
Greatest comic duo of all time will never be beaten

Chill Wills: born 1902, died 1978.

How light on his feet was big Ollie.
You speak the truth, Kemo Sabe ! The late great Jackie Gleason was the same way !
immensely good on his feet for a man of his size -6ft1 and, at the time of filming, around 250lbs!
Not a bad set of pipes either, going from their rendition of "The Blue Ridge Mountains" later in this same movie.
Pretty lite for a nearly 300 lb man.
You physically cannot watch this clip without a smile appearing on your face!
Right on !!
can’t even look at them without smiling 😭❤️

Or try to step with them.
A funny comedy dance by my two heroes that I will always remember.

Don't be fooled by the laughs. This is Mozart, Shakespeare, and Michelangelo, all at the same time.
Pure class!! The greatest duo ever!! Fact!😂😂😂😂😂👌🏻👌🏻
My all time favorite!!!!! Love the song & dance!!!

Stan and Ollie are doing this dance in Heaven.
Chill Wills singing and yodelling. I've seen everything now.
❤❤❤
Two giants.
Grew up watching these two legends, for over 30 years. Never fail to make laugh or cry with joy.
Love it, i love how they slowly start, and then really get into it.
Immortali!!!
Just simply friggin awesome!!

How can anyone not like this?
Stupendi🤗🤗🤗
This is the best thing ever filmed.
60 years of watching this and still it makes me laugh!
I always wondered what Chill Wills did in his younger years!
I'm just in tears laughing. These guys were great. :-)
You clearly have xlnt taste, Juliana ! This scene from "Way Out West" never fails to make me smile !!
Pure classic. Pure Genius. Pure Laurel and Hardy.
Unici ❤
I love this scene, a nice feel good dance. Every time I see it I wanna get up and join them.
I want to watch this on my deathbed. L&H are angels in heaven.
Ollie - a large man whose weight absolutely suits him down to the ground. Can't imagine him any other way. A beautiful pair of men.
Great revisiting this clip after seeing that new trailer.
I went to see "Stan and Ollie" this past week and enjoyed it very much. I am glad they used this bit in that new movie. Nothing like the original Stanley and Oliver, that's for sure !!
Thanks for posting in b/w.Have watched this countless times. Sublime!
I just saw the movie stan and ollie. There will never be another due like them. RIP guys.
Pure Genius :)
Pure sweetness!
Timeless beyond Timeless!!!!!1
Laurel and Hardy are just another nice mess they've gotten me into!!!!! 😂😆
Amazing to this very day ,bless them
I have a notion to second that emotion ! May they rest in eternal bliss ! They brought a lot of joy & laughter to a lot of people !
go see "Stan & Ollie"
what a great a movie.
Christopher S it’s amazing, so much credit to Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly for giving outstanding performances
I totally agree ! I went to see it earlier this week and loved it ! Xlnt in every dept: cast, script, direction, etc etc etc !!
Christopher S they should start making episodes of it again called the comeback and the intro to say we never die

Brill I grow up with these two life was simple then and nice
Brilliant !
I will never tire of watching this

never be noone like them, simply the best
When Mary Tyler Moore had her variety show, she featured a segment wherein she appeared to be dancing right along with L & H in this clip. It was fantastic.
Like the Beatles, there is no one even close.
What about The Stones?
@@MartinHiggins1972 Beatles are better!

Great, more please
I had never caught it Stan pointing out to Ollie the mule dancing..😆
Yes!
No joke I skipped homework to learn this dance.
Wonderful
I love it!
class. never bettered
Yes indeed ! My all time favorite L&H scene !
I hope this is the last thing I ever see before I die. It always cheers me up! 🥰
What is the name of the singer who did the yodeling ? That is such fine yodeling..
Someone says Chill Wills
SO GOOD X
Still a couple of centuries to go before the rest of the world catches up with this level of entertainment
Just wonderful ...🤗
Just brilliant!
This really sticked to me as a kid,when I watched this on the TV at my aunt.
Can't wait for the new Stan & Ollie film in October , where we see how the 2 came together and got famous
i saw it last night.
its a brilliant film; Steve Coogan & John C Reilly nailed the looks, voices, & mannerisms perfectly.
A wonderful comedic dance performed by two beloved and creative clowns..who knew how to endear themselves to an audience.
How Coogan didn't get the Oscar for his portrayal of Stan was a disgrace
A young Chill Wills there doing the lead yodelling. Well before he voiced Francis the talking Mule.
1:21 - Ollie, tipping his hat as if to say 'lets show 'em how its REALLY done!'
I wanna really enact this for a talent competition/show or b day parties, etc
so, entertaing
