@WSenator1 Thanks! =D

@nuts4clara - Seems like you started watching just in time! By about the mid-70s, they stopped showing L&H on free TV - maybe they were getting ready to show them on home video, which was coming soon. But I'm glad to make the acquaintance of another L&H buff. Keep watching, and have a good day!

@WSenator1 Me too! I've been watching Laurel & Hardy since the early 1970s, when KTTV-TV Ch. 11 here in Los Angeles had a guy named Ben Hunter show these wonderful films when I was a preschooler. And, just like you, I practically know this stuff to the point of saturation, yet, it is still hilarious! =D

@baxter5431 - You're right about a lot of things: about Laurel understudying Chaplin, about Chaplin's having a tremendously large ego, and that he never acknowledged L&H's greatness (but he wasn't alone in this - not until the 1950s did the critics see their work as classic. There used to be a saying when they made their films - "Nobody liked Laurel and Hardy - except the public.")

Does anybody know what song starts at 1:29

This is from "Hog Wild" released in 1930. Just classic L&H at their very best!
Ironically, Laurel was an understudy of Chaplin's when they were in England and when they toured the U.S. back in 1910 but Chaplin never ever gave Laurel and/or Hardy any kind of acknowledgment or public admiration for their work. Chaplin must have had a massive ego.

They, along with charlie chaplain and buster Keaton, and their acts and stunts are echoing forward and are being used in modern television.

funny and great actors
This film is eighty years old. I've been watching L & H for sixty years. I know all the jokes, I know all the routines, I know what's coming up. And it is still INSANELY funnny!
