In the 96 years since this was made I challenge anyone to name a funnier scene than when they’re laughing in the club..😂…. Great reaction guys looking forward to next one👏
I practically grew up with the two of them and now at almost 60 I can still laugh so heartily about the two of them. For me, they are the godfathers of slapstick..
Laurel and Hardy were comedy geniuses, and they influenced many comedians that followed them. One episode of “The Honeymooners” borrowed from Blotto when Alice replaced the contents of Ralph’s bottle with grape juice, and Ralph and Ed thought they were getting drunk-the power of suggestion. In “Gilligan’s Island,” the Skipper often looked into the camera exasperated, just as Ollie always did. Dick Van Dyke, Jerry Lewis, and many more recognized the duo’s influence on their own acts. So entertaining to watch.
I'm 65 next month, I don't believe that there is anything Laurel & Hardy That I haven't seen constantly. I never get tired of seeing them. It was a Sunday treat at home as a child to see them on the tv. This duo are timeless. Love the reaction.
I actually forgot to mention - when Stans ears twitch, its because they used strings on the front to pull on them, due to the "low" camera quality, the thin strings and the lighting, it isn't visible and retouched out naturally.
It’s great to see two generations laughing at something released 94 years ago. I often wonder what Stan & Oliver would make of people still enjoying their work all these years later.
ONE OF THE BEST PART OF LOOKIN AT THOSE LAUREL & HARDYS IS SEEING DASHY LAUGHING HER BUTT OFF AT THESE 1930s FUNNYS !! SO GENUINE, & SO INFECTIOUS, LIKE THAT CLASSIC HYSTERICAL LAUGHING SCENE. IT'S HEARTWARMING. BLESS YOU DEAR DASHY. AGAIN, THANK YOU GUYS A MILLION.💙💙🫂
Another great reaction! Sadly Blotto is the most incomplete of their shorts. Movie-goers in 1930 would have seen a much longer version, but when it was re-issued in 1937, stricter censorship laws had come into force. More than ten minutes of footage were cut, including two scenes at the Laurel home, and loads more at the Rainbow Club, including more of the boys getting "drunk", a gag involving a wet chair and additional stage performers. The good news is that they made a Spanish language version (with a different actress playing Mrs. Laurel) which includes these scenes. This still survives, and can be seen here: ruclips.net/video/DO_SOH3sBfc/видео.html
Abbott and Costello, the three stooges, they were great and all were comedy icons. But laurel and hardy were more, they were artists. I place them right up there ith chaplin and keaton and marcel Marceau ( they were great at pantomime also) just pure genius! ❤❤❤❤.
I always wondered if the prop department ever got any awards for the Laurel and Hardy films. (Especially those incredible gag cars.) I still would like to recommend "The Bohemian Girl." It's a movie about an hour and ten minutes long, but it is an "operetta" so there are several songs that are very outdated. You could save time by fast forwarding through the songs. Still, this is a bit different from other L&H movies in that there is little of the normal scenes of destruction. The L&H humor is a bit more clever and more like "routines" than just explosions or breaking furniture. I mentione Darla Hood of the Little Rascals was in this film, but I don't know if you folks in Australia have ever seen the Little Rascals shorts.
Women in the Laurel and Hardy features were typically not submissive or shy! One writer suggests that Laurel and Hardy were anti-female or misogynistic in depicting women as villains, but this cannot be true. In these features, both male and female co-stars were equally threatening to them; it was always Laurel and Hardy against the whole world that was ready to punish them for their rather rebellious behavior. In fact, the actresses that played with Laurel and Hardy in their features really loved working with them and testified to how much fun they had on the sets of these movies!
Fun Facts time! Anita Garvin was a well decorated early movie actress who starred in quite a few shorts and normal length movies of the same time that Laurel and Hardy did, so she was an ace alongside them. You may also remember the waiter, Tiny Sanford, who played in other movies with them as well, as a policeman or waiter or the boss/foreman of the sawmill in "Busy bodies", he played characters that fit his grumpy looks and his ability to pull faces of disapproval and contempt, a scary character in some ways. You also remember Charlie! Charlie Hall, the number one postman, storeowner, houseowner and many many other roles? In this, he's the cabbie. The drink that Stans Wife, we could call her Anita since there is quite a few cases where the Actors use their first names as their role name as well, prepares consists of cold tea, mixed with pepper, tabasco, baking soda, another unknown ingredient, and flakes of soap. In the german Dub this is highlighted as the Wife calls it "Gepfefferte Seifenlauge!" at the end, "peppered soap brine". It would not be quite edible, but the contents in themselves do pose no immediate health threat, minus the soap (can cause suffocation once it mixes in the stomach acid and barfing or struggling to barf causes it to rise up and gets into the airways when the person falls unconscious or tries to throw up). The baking soda is actually an okayish neutralizer for the soap, so it would have helped that she mixed this drink - still highly advise against drinking a concoction like this. The club was entirely made of props and takes inspiration of the actual club called Rainbow *Room* , which has a very similar setup, is vastly larger than the set in this movie, and has a more open larger dance room, but it had a very similar wall panel setup and even the entrance / exit looks nearly identical. You very well noticed the cheap make of the chairs and the stunt table, those were literally just plywood hastily put together. The original rainbow room is located in the Rockefeller Center in Manhattan NY. Now, Hal Roach Studios was in California, where the majority of locations were filmed too, while NY is on the literal other end of the country. Additionally, the Rainbow *Room* has always featured large glass windows and panels nearly all around the center dance floor and chillout area - the set is an enclosed cardboard box from its ambience. Furthermore, the Rainbow Room wasn't opened until 1934. It is most likely that Roach heard of this event (way back when building and renovations and openings took many years til completion) and paid tribute to it by pulling the opening a bit forwards in his movie. The movie is interesting in that due to the high class ambience, both Stan and Ollie must be very high class citizens as well, as normal citizens would not be allowed in such an establishment, even if they could easily pay for it - which wasnt the case, so high class and mid-class were automatically separated by money issues. It is a neutral movie from its setting, as neither Stan nor Ollie are to blame for the negative outcome, as Ollie goes against better judgement and well knowing Stan's impulsive and controlling wife, and neither of them spot the drink being replaced with peppered soap tea brine. The man in the background at the table with a lady guest, who often notices and looks at the Duo doing weird tricks and is both disturbed by their stunts, as well as amused by them, is nobody else but italian born actor Bob Cautiero who played ZORRO in the 30s as well. Also starred in another L&H short 1 year prior. It is overall a very nice movie, which fits nicely into the "best classical shorts" category, but it misses a bit more 'action', and comes to an end too abruptly. But that is not the issue, there is so many tiny details to keep track of, like the reactions of all the other patrons, to whatever Stan and Ollie are doing. A solid 4/5 stars!
Love watching your reactions to the Laurel and Hardy films. Ive been a big fan of Stan and Ollie for over 30 years. Would love to see you react to Their First Mistake from 1932 and Me and My Pal from 1933. Both of these short films are fantastic. Keep up the great work on your channel 👍
The address Oxford 0614 was Stan Laurel's real address. He did that on purpose so fans and other people could call him up which he seems to appreciate.
I've been in the Laurel and Hardy society for 34yrs. Could you please watch the silent The Finishing Touch. Their silents are classics as well. Keep enjoying them. Younger Generation don't see these classics now. And they don't watch B and W anyway.
Please check out a few of their silents, which showed they were just as funny. A few examples: Two Tars(1928) Big Business(1929) The Battle of the Century(1927)with possibly the best pie fight filmed. You won't be disappointed 😌
Habeas Corpus (1928) my favorite L&H silent, in which the boys visit a graveyard at night: their expressions of panic and terror are hilarious. There's some classic slapstick in there as well.
Try Chickens Come Home. It's longer than their usual shorts, but it is very funny, contains four great female performances and has a supporting role for their regular stooge James Finlayson.
Just watching one called pardon us,it’s where the go to prison it’s hilarious.
Haha awesome
"Good mornin' to you..."
In the 96 years since this was made I challenge anyone to name a funnier scene than when they’re laughing in the club..😂…. Great reaction guys looking forward to next one👏
Another fine mess then they were dear riding the bike was very funny
Thankies 💙😹💙
@@siwillz365 I couldn’t agree more!
At 28:56, when Oliver Hardy did the "Shame on You" finger gesture while he and Stand Laurel were laughing their heads off! 😂🤣😆
Hahah 😹😹
I practically grew up with the two of them and now at almost 60 I can still laugh so heartily about the two of them. For me, they are the godfathers of slapstick..
Whoop Deffo
Hilarious 😂
It's the simple things like the way Ollie puts the coins in the phone box. 😂
Yush! 😹😹

"Drive us anywhere, anyplace!!" Great reaction, as always. Check out "Our Wife" from 1931, when you get a chance. Stan and Ollie at their best.
Cool, thanks! 💙😹😹
The perfect comedy short to cure you if you're feeling depressed and hopeless!
Definitely 😹😹

Them Thar Hills
Tit for Tat -- (sequel to Them Thar Hills)

Great suggestion! 💙😹
