For me, theres not one moment, but the fact that they got along so well. That they never disliked each other everything they did was to help each other, really. They got in each others way, but in the end you got a really good feeling that they were friends, which I think distinguishes them from other comedians who hit each other over the head and are more violent. Laurel & Hardy were really two grown-ups who were children at heart.
