[dee18f]

I just laughed my face off and had to put it back on so i could continue laughing :D brilliant!!

[MsMsgracie]

[GeneralAmeli0]

this is the 2nd best part! BEST part is when Hardy has the bird in his pants :)

[haziel6]

J'adooooooore!!!!!!

[thekiieran]

What is the name of the Laurel and Hardy episode when they are in the trenches in ww1 i think.And after the war ends , Laurel is still marching up and down ?

[Bunkertor1828]

epic

[PonyPerson3]

Stan Laurel drove through shrubbery, a farmhouse and a mine field, and not a single fuck was given that day.

[TheBoosh72]

Park the car so they can't use it (its under whatever lmao)

[kirkwallboy]

yeah

[lima33ful]

cruisin in a Bantam...cool

[derbeh]

@xMASS: in brats, he fell down a flight of stairs. In "the music box", he plummeted down numerous flights, being dragged behind a piano all the way.

[xMASSxDx187x]

whats tha episode where hardy follows down tha stairs?

[Hossinfeffa]

@xMASSxDx187x Brats possibly?

[xMASSxDx187x]

[juliusbragg]

@xMASSxDx187x Music Box /watch?v=UWm0nXJYLmk

[haroldwilbeforceclif]

A (now) rare Jeep Bantam ( prototype ) !

[ToaHat]

Quickcuff, you said a mouthful- the old comedians knew how to do it; the new ones don't, and have to resort to juvenile toilet "humor".

Is this the movie where they go to war and Ollie gets stuck in a tank's turret hatch and...well, why spoil it?????

Thanks so much for posting this from 2 of the greatest!!!

[1958wvpicker]

howdy

hey man , which L&H is it where stanley is washing his face, brushes his teeth washes his socks in his helmet, then pours it back in his canteen

[rockaz45]

someone help, whats the laurel and hardy episode where they go to the army and fight the arabs in the desert called??

[Hossinfeffa]

@rockaz45 I believe you are looking for Beau Hunks.

[jctolley1]

The Best

[87xxhannah]

this soo funni i love laurel and hardy xx

[271tixe]

You know what's crazy? Laurel and Hardy made war comedies (about World War I), and Abbott and Costello made comedies set in World War II.

Can you imagine modern comedy movies set in the Iraq or Afghanistan wars? It's unthinkable now. But when you watch these old movies, you don't get a sense of anything inappropriate about it.

[Darkorbit21]

HAH U LOOK LIKE A BISCUT!!!

[Darkorbit21]

This is the best!!!

[ianroadyyyy]

After all these years still the BEST

[Spyflugan91]

Can you really understand that Hardy passed away in 1957? Seems sooo long ago now :O And Laurel in 1965.. The greatest comedy duo of all time! :D

[anadiacombento]

Great! -Dimitris driven in the armi !!!!!!

[pedro1095]

I thought I was The greatest

I thoughtI was the best

That is untill

I saw Laurel and Hardy

They where and still are the GREATEST and the BEST

[daiard]

Is oliver fit for military service? he's a bit on the large side.

[Dazman1313]

Babe really took a beating in these films a truly wonderful comic pairing, they go together like chalk and cheese, but in this case they mix perfectly.

[Oxygen97]

If the hole world knew who these 2 were, There would be more laughter in this world i bet :)

[CAL2177]

Comic geniuses is right. Nowadays its who can be the most outrageous or insulting that counts. Give me comedy like Laurel & Hardy anytime.

[Zapppo]

lol!

ha ha ha! You look like a biscuit!

[tuscanyiscol]

Stan and Ollie all the fucking way

[sadiqbader]

Laurel & Hardy, Charlie Chaplin & three stooges , Thes days have no one can replace them.

[Hotshotter3000]

While I know this is just a L&H film, but if those flour bags were bombs, even small ones, Ollie wouldn't be laughing at their lack of accuracy. But just as a bit of trivia, for a World War 2 level bomber that's actually extremely good accuracy.

[khalidSeoExpert]

Laurel & Hardy is World Best Comedy Actors. I have seen his many video on kewlr.com . Don't miss this interesting website

[ramies37]

ye but im funnier just addmit it i am though aint i?

[superdavid002]

I sing about L & H in The Celebrity Song.

[kleinekutdwerg]

haha awesome, the old movies are so hilarius. doesnt matter if they are bad. or that the background sucks. the movies itself are great

[captainpegs07]

What's the * * * - he put on the jeep?

[DeoMachina]

YOU LOOK LIKE A BISCUIT

[tink5864]

I want to see this movie.

[sweetttina666]

Why didnt they use computers to create a background?

[Hotshotter3000]

@sweetttina666 Cause back then a computer was just a smart human being who could make quicker calculations in their brains that most people. True story.

[beavistv369]

@sweetttina666 its from 1941

[ensconse]

Their first film after permanently leaving Hal Roach should have been much better, as the situations could fit any comedy team. But this '41 effort had some pretty good bits; in fact, it appears that Stan and Ollie were generally happy with the results.

Along with The Dancing Masters, The Bullfighters, and Atoll K/Utopia, worth seeing [of the post 1940 L& Hs].

[CareeLamberte4]

so just cant seem to find a prince who knows his way around a womans body

[shamir137]

good comedy of those days and comedy of nower days are just purely rubbish. : (

thanks for uploading!

[Leevancleff]

i don't think i've seen this.I've seen every episode is this a movie?

[movieman4life]

It's the boys' first feature film made at Fox, after they had left Hal Roach.

[Papergei1]

Scram 1932 is really good..................I put it on as Stewartgas but got suspended from youtube under that name as the copyright was bought by a German consortium.

[kevinhof63]

I agree with dondoman. Although their post Roach films weren't as bad as some film historians suggest, they're nowhere near as good as the classics they made earlier on. I just saw Atoll K tonight for the first time. I laughed a lot for the first ten minutes then the whole film went flat! What a sad end to a great team.

[dondoman]

Too much 'wise guy' speech (especially from Stan) and they're the 'crazy idiots' in this film. Don't like it at all. Every time I try with these Fox/MGM films I'm disappointed considering the amazing films they made with Hal Roach when they had more artistic control. They were the victims of film fashion when the fashion was for the humourlessness of Abbot and Costello and The Three Stooges. Right I'm off to bed.

[Oxygen97]

if u dont like these films why watch

[dondoman]

How do I know if I don't like them if I don't watch them? You've got to confirm your prejudices at some point. Otherwise there's no possibility of changing your mind.

So ner ner.

[dondoman]

That was to Oxygen97 by the way....

[Oxygen97]

right... ner ner

[brian18581]

pmsl  classic

[realisticHomeboy]

Yeah, you can get all of their stuff on DVD collections. Search on amazon. They have it. Volume 1 contains this movie.

[gunslingerpro]

"what should we do?... Lock the car so they cant use it." hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahah­ahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahah­ahah

lmao

[sturnfield7783]

They make good use of cover!

[VL1302]

Good ol' Laurel & Hardy :-)

[d123456789100]

laurel and hardy is the bomb

[dikrokus]

we're in a minefield step on it!

[DerFilthyThing]

The name 'jeep' was derived from it's classification as a 'General Purpose' vehicle or 'G P' or 'jeep' . F.Y.I.

[worldwar2madman]

This was made in 1941 and this film was sped up.

[hulotati]

shame the boys weren't given more freedom to do true L & H schtick in these movies. The old Stan wouldn't of sarcastically laffed at Ollie being hit by the flour.

[firecamp2]

ha you look like a biscuit! XD

[dracula23456]

THEY BOTH are best better than mr bean the great asshole which my brother watch

[0ddba11s]

Is that a Bantam Jeep?

[Auggie56]

Yes

[autophyte]

@0ddba11s While it looks a bit like a Bantam, I think it's a cobbled up prop made by the studio boys. Its proportions are wrong and it doesn't have the front axle drive, among other things. I'd say that real jeeps were in short supply at that time and weren't available to the film studios.

[adrifromhh]

What does this V mean?

[DerFilthyThing]

'V' stood for Victory and the dot dot dash is morse code foe the letter 'V'

[adrifromhh]

Oh now i also saw him showing peace ;) thx

[F1guitarfanatic927]

L+H are the best comedians ever, o one could better what they do. I like there work so much I have 2 box sets, one with 20 dvds having about 4-5 episodes per DVD and the other a 4 box set based on little scetckes, the best when they do a tv adert were the narrator asks what they carry. Im only 15 years old, and I like it! Mainly because my grandad watches them as well

[smeeegz]

where did u get those box sets from.. i have 1 box set sand ive been looking for more... sonce my dad only has them on VHS i wanted to get some for him

[DerFilthyThing]

It's great that your grand dad gave you the gift of these early comic icons. My dad did the same for me and for that i am always grateful.Great comedy never gets old.

[F1guitarfanatic927]

i agree. the two must be the kings of comedy! they made their own stlye and even better, no-one can copy it!

[vonijoe]

"Lock the car so they can't use it." LOL

I don't even know this film the way I know many other classic L&H titles, but it's always nice to see the best comedy duo of all time!

[wasittoyou]

Vonijoe

If you like this clip from "Great Guns" check out some other lesser-known L&H

"A-Haunting We Will Go" 1942

"Jitterbugs" 1943

"The Big Noise" 1944

[Theakker3]

You mean the bad ones.

[jobvink]

I recently had the courage to watch the movies from their Fox/MGM period (1940-1945) and finally decided they had plenty of funny moments, at least for what I expected after reading all the horrible reviews.

But, as a L&H fan, I would agree with those stating their Hal Roach period (before 1941) definately brought us better movies.

[Theakker3]

@jobvink Yeah, Laurel and Hardy were at their best when they were with Hal Roach.  Mainly L&H because they wrote their own films.

[HardKore5250]

where did you get this 1930's footage?

[wasittoyou]

HardKore5250

This isn't 1930's footage.

It is a scene from Fox's "Geat Guns" 1941

The boys made several post-Roach films for Wurtzel's outfit at Fox.

They made four more at Fox.

[grifgrif1]

this video wont even play so

youtube fix it

[ydwk]

they have great scenes, but this one is very pour, nothing funny at all

[barson66]

nice to see some one who has the same comidy taste as me at such an age im only 21 my self and thinks this stuff is still totaly fresh even for how old it is love it

[brydon2008]

stan laurel was born in the same town as me bishop auckland and i was surprised cos he went to school there and everything i only found out when a statue of him got put up in the town centre and i was surprised that such a worldwide legend lived a couple of doors down from me

[prettyparisian]

Hey could you post the bit when they threw stuff at daniel, then they feel really bad about it? Please =D xoxo

[detroitredwings81]

this is sweet

[darkhelmit1234]

brilliant

[prettyparisian]

Laurel and Hardy are true iconic classic. I love their older films =D Look at them, lol the just make you laugh crazy boy racers hahah x

[Lampshade51]

Laurel and Hardy were brilliant--just wonderful-- but when they left Hal Roach Studios in 1940 and went to 20th Century Fox, they were thrown into that giant studio's assembly-line process, and it shows. Yuck. The writers gave them lines that could have been for anybody, and their personalities were not written for. Occasional glimpses of their old magic in this post 1941 period, but mostly this era for L & H is crap lines and bad bits. They wouldn't let Stan change a thing. Awful!

[4QBUD]

In my late teens I would rent 16mm films, Laurel and Hardy movies my favorite from my local Library and show them after sundown on the side of my Dad's Garage at night. Ice cold Keg, Loads of Friends and LOTS of Laughs! A Chump at Oxford is my absolute favorite. I am paraphrasing now but Lord Paddington (Stan) says to Ollie, Oh Fatty, It's come to my attention that you are unbecoming as a lackie. Lift up your Head, now throw back your shoulders there now lift your chin. No, no, no, Both of them!

[Quionic7]

I have puppets of these guyz!

[sweetypie000]

Two great men who liked each other very much too ! Their comic genius has never been touched. The best of British and American humour combined, what a top team, they brighten life up !

[ConanVictor]

You couldn't have put it better!

[khalidSeoExpert]

@sweetypie000 Laurel & Hardy is World Best Comedy Actors. I have seen his many video on kewlr.com . Don't miss this interesting website

[quickcuff]

Todays so called comics cannot be compared to these two genuises. Not a single swear word, not a single sexual suggestion, just pure slap stick humour from two of the best the world has ever produced. Thank you Mr Laurel and Mr Hardy.

[khalidSeoExpert]

@quickcuff hi friend Laurel & Hardy is World Best Comedy Actors. I have seen his many video on kewlr.com . Don't miss this interesting website

[MysteryBiker123]

@quickcuff i could not of said it better myself my friend :D there awesome

[drwhatson]

Their's was a partnership made in heaven. This hapless pair of glorious fools are a delight to watch at anytime and make many of today's comedy actors look like rank amateurs. Brilliant.

[mrcart]

A bad Laurel and Hardy is better than the best of a lot of other comedy teams, but, there wasn't much good that came from their association with 20th Century Fox. By no means horrible, it doesn't compare with the Roach/MGM work they did much earlier.

[tob606]

I'm sending my grandfather the Laurel and Hardy series on DVD. They're his favorite.

[gazanddoug180]

the bit when Ollie fell out the jeep made me laugh so much!! Laurel and Hardy are the best.

[madmomentsgo]

nice to see this, thanks.

[bruce64h]

proof you can make a good movie without sex or profanity.

[canougrimi]

Génial - je les adore, ils me font tellement rire.

[soph60]

ledgends! lol

[chadsexinton]

NAZIS

[bryguitar]

Laurel & Hardy have got to be one of the best ever comedy duo's or even comedy as a whole I think, You can watch there episodes and be crying with laughter and thats like 1930's or so these days comedy is total Sh*t.

Laurel & Hardy are just class :)

[crmfghtr]

You are quite correct, they dont make movies anymore, they make...well I dont know what it is, but the class, the genius, the originality is all but gone..

[dummyspitter]

YOUR RIGHT THERE

[scoobes11]

Whos the best comedy trio?

[Recomember]

you look like a biscuit ! haha lovin that jeep!

[availible60]

LOL

[ajittffcure]

Ha Ha... that was really funny!

[donalddick197]

n' make that - koundamani & senthil!!!!

[randy28146]

The greatest comedy team of all time.

[Karlemids]

'I've locked the car so they can't search it' lol, so ahead of their times.

[tonydmakintea]

L&H R the best!

[Theavelyn]

"Did you miss eny of those things?" ^^

[76tyke]

exellent video l&h r the best duo ever

[bearlop]

Absolute classic comedy duo, They will never be matched!!

[tomanyasses]

people are interested its just the new people coming in america dont like there white people in these movies.

[Mohawky2001]

Youre a racist asshole arnt you!

[osmosis1988]

Laurel and Hardy are the greatest 2-act ever, they set the bar for "Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider" ,"Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan" "Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson"

[ShawDAMAN]

Except they are way better than those ;)

[mikecleona]

Love this movie. Wish you would've included scenes with Sheila Ryan, who co-starred in this picture. She was so beautiful.

[flyingjeff]

An interesting note: When my mother was a little girl, she lived in Venice, CA. Her and her family were friends of the poeple who owned the ranch where the shot was filmed when the jeep went into the pond. My mother was standing 20 feet away watching that scene being filmed. She got to meet Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. The ranch was located in the SantaMonica Mountains and unfortunately burned down in the 50's.

[gokkie44]

Laurel & Hardy is fucking cool forever!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gregg30]

As a L&H fan, I hate that the later Fox films are all available on DVD but their great Roach films are not (except a handfull)

[rUNdJEMC]

got a 30 DVD Box all the way to the 20's (Roach films I think) Laurel & Hardy myself.

you gotta look for it.

[MoontideJM]

Stan hated these Fox films. He had no control and thought the scripts were bad - and they were.

[faulisdead]

this was made after they left Hal Roach. This was an attempt to copy Abbott & Costellos file Buck Privates which was one of the most popular comedies of the year.

[junomotors]

the jeep used in the film pre dates the Willys commonly used in the 2nd World War. It is actually one of the early prototypes built in response to the United States Governments requirement for a light recon vehicle prior to the U.S. joining the war. Note the rounded hood, exterior front grille and the externally mounted head lamps.

[aneziocat]

efgghh677

[aneziocat]

muito legal

[10INTM]

Hehe, their orders were explicitly not to stop until they reached their destination.

[bluboycaller]

hahaha they are fantastic

[liquidmajic]

to think i was just talking about minefields last night...

[alank2007]

what movie this from?? never seen it before

[brookstrlime]

it was from the frst 20th century fox movie stan and ollie made it was called great guns

[jobvink]

You're right. No one thought of putting it on DVD or airing on TV lately, because their Fox-period (1941-1951) movies are rubbish. These days only very few people are interested in these L&H misfits. Suppose only die hard fans (such as I) would occasionally want to see them. View some clips of their successfully Roach-period (1926-1940) and you'll see the brilliant comedy talent Arthur Stanley Jefferson and Oliver Norvell "Babe" Hardy.

[diffendar]

Now that's what I call Off Roading!!

Y-E-A-H !!

[digitalshark]

I absolutely LOVE Laurel and Hardy, but I wouldn't be the life long fan that I am without mentioning this is one of their weakest films. But even lesser L&H is a treat by any estimation. It is only "Utopia" that I find unwatchable!

[LaurelandHardyForum]

The kings of comedy

[rickoshay194]

laurel & hardy are the best no one can beat this.not in our life time.

[MirRock88]

l-am vazut de mult episodul acesta...shi l-am vazut tot...e de nota 10...nu se mai intalnesc asha comici in vremurile noastre.:(

[tv15917]

Laurel & Hardy were the best!

[Mollweidekadet]

True aces of comedy.

I've never seen this film, even though I'm a massive fan. I doubt it's been on English TV for 30 years. Thanks for posting.

[moztheroz]

we're in a minefield, step on it

[jinesd1]

The greatest of all time

[Teatroderetalhos]

realmente muito joinha esta pelicuuuula deles...

[DanielPaul56]

I kept waiting for that big, fat bastard to pop right out of that jeep. L&H rock, to this day!

[LBlaise6]

hey u guys rock

[elige4]

the best of all times

[dragosv87]

They are the best comedians!!

[srvfan454]

these guys were the greatest, and the worlds a worse place without em!

[WelshTea]

I thought I have seen all of Laurel and hardy films including shorts but not this one. Thanks for sharing.

[wasittoyou]

This was one of the boys last three films made at Fox after leaving the studios.

If you liked this one you'll love the other two:

"Jitterbugs"

"The Big Noise"

That's another fine mess you've gotten us into !!

[xxjoann1957]

lol

[rjthinmanstout]

HAHA! Laughed pretty hard at Stan's "V" as well. What kind of car are they driving? It isn't a "jeep" of the willis tradition...
