Stan Laurel was asked to appear in 'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World' in 1962 but politely refused. He'd said he would never appear without Ollie after Mr. Hardy's death, and stayed true to his word. What a gentleman, what a giant talent they both were. Thank you for this.
This really touched me. As a sixth grader I mailed Stan a letter letting him know how much I enjoyed watching their movies. He sent back a postcard with his photo. He signed it: "Thanks Anthony. Good Luck Always. Stan Laurel." He died a few weeks later.
@MrQlevert Nope, you're wrong. But I think you know that already, you're clearly someone who spends their life trolling. FYI, Stan was famously a genuinely nice guy who always had time for his fans and was gracious to them all. He was even listed in his local telephone directory, and would chat to anyone who rang him. So take your crappy attitude elsewhere, there's nothing for you here.

You have to like and comment so the algorithm will share it to more people….. people ought to see more of these two wonderful men so that it keeps their memories alive!
Almost a 100 years later from when they started together and we are still laughing at their brilliance. My 12 year old daughter and i watch them together.
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy - so humble and really a bit shy. Yet the top of the comedy business for 30+ years. We will never see their like again. They were - and will always be - THE GREATEST!
Yes indeed, they were special. Those were different times. People had ambitions and had different values. Nowadays most people are driven by greed in the form of money, posessions or status. Not directly related to being someone valuable. They pretend to be special because they have to be politically correct but most things are just a facade.
@@Pesar25 So profoundly and beautifully written. I agree with you absolutely. Thank you for taking the time to reply to my comment. You indeed hit the nail squarely and sadly on the head. Kindest regards to you and yours...
What can I say?? My dad laughed at them when he was a kid, I laughed at them, my son laughed at them, now my grandson laughs at them, humour knows no barriers or age!!
100 hundred years from now people will still be laughing, I'd bet 1000 years from now, people will still be laughing while watching them........provided humans are still around then.
So respectful, getting up when shaking hands, gentle, shy and modest. They were almost too embarrassed to be there. Love this. The TV shows were so genuine back then. They were on top of the comedy world for 30+ years. Legends.
It was very nice to know that these two were friends first and comedy partners second. Normally one finds out that the members of a comedy duo hated each other ( Abbot and Costello, Cannon and Ball, Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin ... ).
Absolutley right! There's nothing else to say about it. I miss this kind of respectful and heartfelt behaviour. It reminds me of my grandpa, by the way also a fan of Stan and Oliver.
The likes of Laurel and Hardy will never be seen again. They were geniuses at their craft and their films will shine forever . RIP to both of these incredible men.
Laural and Hardy are the most important components in the history of world comic genius. Period. And the thing that makes it all that more notable is that 100% of their performances and gags are family friendly and free of all smut. They didn't have to be provocative and crude to be funny. And they are just as entertaining today, 90 years on, as they were back then. Legendary
I LIKE "smut." And, no, they were not the "best" comedians: that honor goes to the Marx Brothers and the Monty Python team. And it's "Laurel" not *Laural.
Standing up when people where speaking to them, a sign of respect and attention. Gentle, gracious, polite, successful and still humble, never vulgar, 2 real gentlemen who made us laugh so much. If there is a paradise, if i end up there when i die i will thank them for the lifetime of good humor they gifted to me and to all the world.
Sure brother. There is a Heaven. We will all meet up in Paradise. Then we will all live with Jesus, Mama Mary, all the Angels and Saints, our Loved Ones, and also with our Great Favourites Laurel and Hardy, as one big happy united family for all Etetnity. Amen 🙏🙏🙏😊🤗👍
Stan Laurel outlived Oliver by 8 years and was crushed by his death in 1957 and swore never to preform without him again. Despite numerous offers he never did. He was also unique in the fact he usually answered all his fan mail, kept a listed phone number and would let fans in his house for brief visits unannounced.
These 2 men are absolute legends , for someone who started watching them over 20 years after they had passed , they will be remembered forever , generation after generation, no comedy duo will ever come close RIP
The generation of today do not even come close to this class of human. The word legend(s) is thrown around so easily and is often undeserved. These gentlemen who still make me laugh today deserve the honour. True legends until the end of time.
This is awsome.. My dad suffered horrible. ptsd after vietnam He would be up in the middle of the night watching laurel and hardy reruns. I would sit with him and watch together
They arrived in Queenstown in Ireland now called Cobh on their tour the big Cathedrals bells was playing their theme song. Stan was so overcome he cried.Both were so humble for geniuses.
Thank you so much Oliver Hardy and Stan Laurel for making us laugh even after 100 years later 🙏 You'll always be the greatest comedians for the all Time
You're completely right! If it's the greatest of all arts to make people laugh, it's even greater to make them laugh a hundred years later. Their movies and humour are timeless! My kids just love them und watch them over and over again. Never bored! Never! Still laughing tears!
Yet didn't you find the FREEMASONRY reference kinda telling though. I guess that certainly helped their careers. Dont you think. As the World is JW controlled. Especially in their particular industry. 👌
Awesome they were able to put these guys on a show together towards the end of their lives to bring back people from their past and recount memories. Priceless stuff.
My grandfather and I used to sit and watch these gems every Saturday for years. He's gone but he still sit next to me and laughs every time I get a chance to watch this duo.
I love how both Stan and Ollie seemed to have those permanent smiles. They could illuminate a room just with their presence. RIP to two great, charming gentlemen.
They say the greatest gift anyone can give is laughter, Stan and Oliver gave laughter to millions when people needed it most and still do. It's never about how someone died, it's about how they lived and were loved. And these two will go on being loved.
The greatest comedy team ever on film. They made me laugh as a boy, and more than that, they taught me loyalty and patience and forgiveness that trumped every trouble and difficulty. They were the perfect example of enduring friendship for me. They still bring tears of joy to see them even in this old show.
Even to people who weren't even born when they were around , everyone loves Laurel and Hardy . Quite a tribute , which not many people can match ! Two polite and humble men .
Sadly no longer possible, but just imagine actually meeting Laurel & Hardy? I don't know about LAUGHING, I think I'd be more likely to CRY .... tears of joy! Greatest comedy duo ever! They'll NEVER be bettered!
10:20. I first saw this on A & E network in 1988. When Oliver said to/about the woman he used to walk to school with when they were both children, "She's still beautiful". I cried. I was a young man in my 20s, too. He is such a sweet, kind gentleman.
@@LauRa-re9un they both did. Hardy suffered the most because he was cleaned out in a divorce settlement and his illness meant he needed fulltime care for the rest of his day
I live a 15 minute drive away from North Shields where Stan was born. Laurel & Hardy & also Abbott & Costello were my favourite comedy duo teams to watch when I was a kid growing up. Brilliant!!! 😁😆
My Grandad had all the episodes recorded on vcr, i watched them endlessly as a kid in the 80s, legends may be an understatement. The world certainly changed.
The world certainly has changed and not for the better. By the 21st century don't you think the world should be a much better place? Disappointed, lied to as child, and totally disillusioned. J. XXX
They were before my time but I was able to enjoy them through the magic of TV as a child. Thanks for all the fun films and many laughs. May you both RIP.
I am so thankful these interviews and documentaries were made..a time we had adults in the room, people were thankful, and you could laugh without worrying about some crybully
I was born in the 70s but growing up these mens comedy bought me alot of laughs my Mum and Dad brought me up on there comedy 🤣 😆 😄 😂 RIP Laural and Hardy
I still recall watching Laurel and Hardy on TV in the 1970s in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoons. I would sit there and howl with laughter. The best one was when they got their feet stuck in concrete and bobbed around. The film was called "Our Relations". I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe and I think I wet myself a little.
....me to.Growing up in England, I watched a lot of LAUREL and HARDY.They would show them on British T.V in the seventies.Looking at this clip of them in their later years,it got me very emotional.Being a black guy from England,these two men got me through a rough childhood.I sure wish that I would meet them in person and tell them how much there comedy and them mean't a lot to me.
I still enjoy every Christmas holiday watching March of the Wooden Soldiers with Stan and Ollie they were my favorite comedic Duo because their friendship was so true peace to them and blessings to their families ✌️🍀❤️🙌🙏❤️💚🩵💜
My grandparents born in 1905 & 6. My parents born in 1930. My self and my siblings born in 1950s and 60s were all huge fans of Laurel and Hardy. We never missed a show. My 3 Children also loved Laurel and Hardy. Now their children are enjoying DVDs of Laurel and Hardy. These two men were Comedy Geniuses, who will never be bettered. They have give Joy to 5 generations of my Clan on Tyneside. Thank you boys and God Bless you. Your comedy and names will never die.
Greatest comedy duo of all time. They could make you laugh, without ever having one curse word, or vulgar act in their ENTIRE ACT. I am 38 years old and my dad, who would have been 70 now, used to watch them all of the time growing up. I loved watching them with him and laughing our guts out. He has passed on now for almost 20 years, and now both me and my little sister has introduced this great duo to my nephew. He is 13 years old and nearly stops breathing watching everything they ever put out. As I have almost their entire collection of short skits, and full movies. My personal favorite is probably Saps At Sea.
My Grandfather saw them on their visit to the UK and instilled in me a love of these incredible gentlemen which has lasted all my life and which I have passed on to my children. God bless them, they were simply the best.
As a 19 year old, who enjoys a fair amount of the movies or reels these two gentlemen have made with interest sparked from my father who in turn enjoyed it alongside his father. And in years to come, a hopeful appreciation may be shared alongside my son and me.
I feel quite emotional watching this episode of This is Your Life. When most of us go to our graves, not having amounted to much, and certainly leaving no lasting legacy. Here are two men, whose names will go down in history, and as long as there's motion pictures and a Holywood The names of Stan & Ollie will be remembered for giving so much pleasure to young and old.
I didn't know there was an American This is your life . Only British one. I've watched just about everything with laurel and hardy but I just got this in my feed , and I'm so glad .
There was no laughter like my laughter when watching this amazing Duo when I was growing up. Watching this now with a "cheeky" little tear on my cheek.
Even though I enjoyed watching this you can tell what poor health Mr. Hardy is in.. Even had I not known the year of his passing I would know by watching this he was not going to live much longer. Which has nothing to do with his weight. These two were brilliant comedians. My daughter and I watched the movie Stan & Ollie last week. At the end I said how great they were and even when I was in elementary in the 80s they would still show us their movies.. She is 15, looked at me and said "wait! That was based on a true story?" I guess I never realized someone had never heard of Laurel and Hardy.
I love these guys. I've watched them most of my life and I wish I could thank them for the thousands of hours of fun and laughter they have given me. They are the best!!
As a child I loved these two they where so so funny 😂 They are legends and I still love them to this day and I am 56 my how time flys. Rest in peace you two beautiful funny men. I will never forget you you are all ways in my hart. ❤️ thank you for making my child hood. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
No matter how many times I see their movies they still crack me up. The word Legends is nowhere near big enough to describe these two gentlemen. R. I. P Stan & Oliver
As a child, I remember waking and then telling my dad that Laurel and Hardy said goodnight to me last night..... Only to be devestated that it wasn't real... Even tho I tried my best to make him believe me. 45yrs later, still find them hilarious and yes, still wish they'd really said goodnight... Although they'd probably just keep saying goodbye. Comedy genius, never to be repeated
I am from Greece, I spent great moments in my childhood years watching the movies of these two adorable actors and men and now in my 50s I watch their great movies with the same adoration and nostalgic mood every chance I get!
Oh…this is so endearing. I loved these two men so much when I was a child. As an older adult I can truly appreciate what kind, humble people they were. That baby photo of Oliver Hardy was so adorable.❤️
What absolute gentleman, now these are the type of celebrities we need back, to show what good moral standing and manners are, not the riff raff we have these days in celebrities.
People came across so much nicer in those days it feels alien to me watching this on my smart phone we got the technology but not the happiness nowadays
When I was about 18 I lived in a big house for a year with seven other friends, we used to have big party's with loads staying over. Laurel and Hardy repeats used to be on free to air TV on a Sunday morning, and one by one whoever was in the house used to make their way downstairs and curl up somewhere under a blanket to watch it. The hangovers seemed to melt away for an hour while we were all pissing ourselves laughing watching these two clowning around. Great memories of two of the finest comedians to have ever lived.
I love these guys, we are almost 70 years away from this show but, in the 21st century it is still current. Naive humor. I write from Brazil, here we love these guys even today.

No one else comes even remotely close, yes.

Same rest in peace to these legends 😞💔

Two comedy superstars who never acted like superstars off-screen. Doesn't get any better than that. Probably the best there's ever been.

The best one was when they got their feet stuck in concrete and bobbed around. The film was called "Our Relations". I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe and I think I wet myself a little.
....me to.Growing up in England, I watched a lot of LAUREL and HARDY.They would show them on British T.V in the seventies.Looking at this clip of them in their later years,it got me very emotional.Being a black guy from England,these two men got me through a rough childhood.I sure wish that I would meet them in person and tell them how much there comedy and them mean't a lot to me.
Two of the greatest comedians of all time,god bless em,God’s of comedy
I've never seen a video of these two live but their joy and kindness overflows . What a pair .
A much loved (and missed) comedy double.
Watching this has taken me back to my distant youth. Such innocence and so many laughs.
I still enjoy every Christmas holiday watching March of the Wooden Soldiers with Stan and Ollie they were my favorite comedic Duo because their friendship was so true peace to them and blessings to their families ✌️🍀❤️🙌🙏❤️💚🩵💜
My grandparents born in 1905 & 6. My parents born in 1930. My self and my siblings born in 1950s and 60s were all huge fans of Laurel and Hardy. We never missed a show. My 3 Children also loved Laurel and Hardy. Now their children are enjoying DVDs of Laurel and Hardy. These two men were Comedy Geniuses, who will never be bettered. They have give Joy to 5 generations of my Clan on Tyneside. Thank you boys and God Bless you. Your comedy and names will never die.
Greatest comedy duo of all time. They could make you laugh, without ever having one curse word, or vulgar act in their ENTIRE ACT. I am 38 years old and my dad, who would have been 70 now, used to watch them all of the time growing up. I loved watching them with him and laughing our guts out. He has passed on now for almost 20 years, and now both me and my little sister has introduced this great duo to my nephew. He is 13 years old and nearly stops breathing watching everything they ever put out. As I have almost their entire collection of short skits, and full movies. My personal favorite is probably Saps At Sea.
The "love" and legacy these friends, who haven't seen them for nearly forty-five (45) years, is wonderfully unfathomable.
My Grandfather saw them on their visit to the UK and instilled in me a love of these incredible gentlemen which has lasted all my life and which I have passed on to my children. God bless them, they were simply the best.
They were the golden age of comedy never to be forgotten,nowadays comedy will never be remembered like those years were .
As a 19 year old, who enjoys a fair amount of the movies or reels these two gentlemen have made with interest sparked from my father who in turn enjoyed it alongside his father. And in years to come, a hopeful appreciation may be shared alongside my son and me.
Laurel and Hardy.... the Epitome of True Friendship!!!
Laurel and Hardy loved and respected each other unlike Martin and lewis
Laurel and Hardy loved and respected each other unlike Martin and lewis
These two were the best of the best. No one could come near them.
Harold Lloyd, I'd say. But sure, they were good.
The greatest comedians, the greatest double act ever. Never will they be forgotten.
I feel quite emotional watching this episode of This is Your Life.
When most of us go to our graves, not having amounted to much, and certainly leaving no lasting legacy.
Here are two men, whose names will go down in history, and as long as there's motion pictures and a Holywood
The names of Stan & Ollie will be remembered for giving so much pleasure to young and old.
@@peterlewis3540 brilliant could not have said it better myself.
I didn't know there was an American This is your life .
Only British one.
I've watched just about everything with laurel and hardy but I just got this in my feed , and I'm so glad .
I do admire them as the very best that came out of England and Hollywood.
2 of the greatest comedy legends to ever grace our screens. Remember as a child in the 70’s laughing at their movies!
There was no laughter like my laughter when watching this amazing Duo when I was growing up. Watching this now with a "cheeky" little tear on my cheek.
Even though I enjoyed watching this you can tell what poor health Mr. Hardy is in.. Even had I not known the year of his passing I would know by watching this he was not going to live much longer. Which has nothing to do with his weight.
These two were brilliant comedians. My daughter and I watched the movie Stan & Ollie last week. At the end I said how great they were and even when I was in elementary in the 80s they would still show us their movies.. She is 15, looked at me and said "wait! That was based on a true story?" I guess I never realized someone had never heard of Laurel and Hardy.
I love these guys. I've watched them most of my life and I wish I could thank them for the thousands of hours of fun and laughter they have given me. They are the best!!
As a child I loved these two they where so so funny 😂
They are legends and I still love them to this day and I am 56 my how time flys.
Rest in peace you two beautiful funny men.
I will never forget you you are all ways in my hart. ❤️ thank you for making my child hood. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
No matter how many times I see their movies they still crack me up. The word Legends is nowhere near big enough to describe these two gentlemen. R. I. P Stan & Oliver
'One of the greatest comedy teams of our time?' Now we know different. The greatest comedy team of all time! Period
Yes! The greatest of all time!!!
As a child, I remember waking and then telling my dad that Laurel and Hardy said goodnight to me last night..... Only to be devestated that it wasn't real... Even tho I tried my best to make him believe me. 45yrs later, still find them hilarious and yes, still wish they'd really said goodnight... Although they'd probably just keep saying goodbye.
Comedy genius, never to be repeated
I am from Greece, I spent great moments in my childhood years watching the movies of these two adorable actors and men and now in my 50s I watch their great movies with the same adoration and nostalgic mood every chance I get!
How brilliant are there accents. On both sides of the Atlantic back then we both spoke with class!
Oh…this is so endearing. I loved these two men so much when I was a child. As an older adult I can truly appreciate what kind, humble people they were. That baby photo of Oliver Hardy was so adorable.❤️
What absolute gentleman, now these are the type of celebrities we need back, to show what good moral standing and manners are, not the riff raff we have these days in celebrities.
People came across so much nicer in those days it feels alien to me watching this on my smart phone we got the technology but not the happiness nowadays
These gentleman ere way ahead of their time 100 years ago ... So sincere and.geniun their come across ... They don't make them like they used to ✌️🏆
When I was about 18 I lived in a big house for a year with seven other friends, we used to have big party's with loads staying over.
Laurel and Hardy repeats used to be on free to air TV on a Sunday morning, and one by one whoever was in the house used to make their way downstairs and curl up somewhere under a blanket to watch it.
The hangovers seemed to melt away for an hour while we were all pissing ourselves laughing watching these two clowning around.
Great memories of two of the finest comedians to have ever lived.
I love these guys, we are almost 70 years away from this show but, in the 21st century it is still current. Naive humor. I write from Brazil, here we love these guys even today.
