most of their films sums them up perfect timing and laughs galore wish they were still here making us fans non stop laughter hope Stan and Ollie r happy where they are god bless
There are Buster Keaton, WC Fields, Abbott and Costello, Chapman and many others. John Cleese said he preferred WC FIelds over all the rest, including L&H.
Yes. Modern entertainers just don't have the same touch. People today don't have that simplicity anymore, they don't have the same style wit, plus they all have the mistakened flaws of thinking that more and louder is better, the need for in your face exaggerations, and that clean humor doesn't work anymore and always feel the need for sexual innuendos and gross-out humor
@@scottrussell1006 yes, they're all great. I love Groucho Marx, there's never been anyone else like him. Chico also. Them and L&H, those 4 guys were the very best of all the Golden age comedy. The Three stooges, W.C. Feilds, and silent comedy kings Charlie Chaplin and Keaton were not far behind, not at all
So ... at some point, in the writing, Stan decided that Jitters should crawl under the table, and Mrs Fox climbs over it! Adds SO much to the madness of these two characters ... and I love it! 😂
Clive. We must feel sorry for them. There is hope for them yet ! My wife didn't enjoy comedy at all when we were first married, but she enjoys L and H now !
Jack Barty was a very versatile British stage actor and writer. Stan and Babe visited the UK in 1932 and saw Barty on the stage. Hardy suggested he should go to Hollywood, which he did, and joined Roach, almost totally as a writer. This is the only Roach film he appeared in, and his main Laurel and Hardy connection was as the co- writer of the movie Sons of the Desert.
Thank for this information. Far more than you can find on Wikipedia. All the performances in Oliver the Eighth are wonderful. Barty is clearly an outstanding talent. I was very interested to note that he was a co-writer of the Sons of the Desert film.
I agree, great. But watch Steve Martin Marty Short. Comic genius. You can tell they like each other. Laurie and Frye. Esp. Wooster and Jeeves. Jerry Lewis said his happiest times was working with Dean Martin. Great teams.
The subtlety of their reactions are just brilliant and I can’t help laughing out loud. Happy days enjoying their antics with family when I was a child 🤣😍💗
What a shame the youngsters of today, are not brought up with this timeless comedy. In the not too distant future, people will have no idea who Laurel & Hardy were. And that's a real shame.
Stan's confusion at the imaginary dinner combined with him throwing in his playing along about it (losening his vest, throwing salt over his shoulder) was all hilarity that very few others could pull off so well
Fenomeni, assolutamente geniali, attori inarrivabili, non ne nasceranno più, hanno fatto innamorare generazioni di persone, semplicemente immortali!! 😘😘😘
Thanks for pointing Barrty out. I’ve always known and loved Mae Busch, but I was unfamiliar with Barty (although I’ve seen Oliver the Eighth), so I looked at his filmography and I see that he was an uncredited writer on Sons of the Desert! Thanks again.
In india people often said new generation is intelligent but I don't believe. Laurel hardy chaplin set benchmark which no generation ever touched. All generation since 1930 till end of universe gonna love this
brilliant, almost no dialogue, just the inimitable facial expressions and timing of these two grandmasters.
My 8 year old son absolutely howls with laughter to this. Never be another duo as funny.
most of their films sums them up perfect timing and laughs galore wish they were still here making us fans non stop laughter hope Stan and Ollie r happy where they are god bless
I'm tempted to say one of the funniest scenes of any Laurel & Hardy movies. The truth is there were so many.
These two will never be equalled. Not ever. Pure genius..!!

Anne Reilley The best was Cluvero Pesantos
Little and Large ?....Maybe not .
@Ian Lloyd That's an odd reaction to my listing some of the great figures from film's past.
Sir Les Patterson would disagree Anne .
The sound props has a field day in this episode, the sound of the ladle hitting Ollie’s head is sooo funny 😂
No one can ever replace the two genius of comedy not I'm my life they were brilliant at every thing
The best comedians that ever lived they will never be replaced

yep, they were certainly in the discussion! The Marx Brothers rank high, and The 3 Stooges were even nominated for an Oscar once!
@@scottrussell1006 yes, they're all great. I love Groucho Marx, there's never been anyone else like him. Chico also. Them and L&H, those 4 guys were the very best of all the Golden age comedy.

@@alvexok5523 10.4 on all those greats!
Scott Russell Laurel and Hardy won an Oscar for the Music Box
Great supporting players...Mae Bush
and Jack Barty.
If ever you want to forget about this crazy world for a while you can do no better than these two. Marvellous tonic
Absolutely!
None even close.The greatest😂
Rest in peace Stan and Ollie
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
God bless those two comedic geniuses!
Yes. Let them RIP.
@@alvexok5523 nobody and i mean nobody, will ever come close to the comedy genius of laurel and hardy.
So ... at some point, in the writing, Stan decided that Jitters should crawl under the table, and Mrs Fox climbs over it!
Adds SO much to the madness of these two characters ... and I love it! 😂
At the time of writing this comment, 51 INSANE PEOPLE had disliked Laurel and Hardy!
How is that even POSSIBLE?
Greatest comedy duo EVER! 👍😂
Clive. We must feel sorry for them.
There is hope for them yet !
My wife didn't enjoy comedy at all when we were first married, but she enjoys L and H now !
Whoever disliked this thinks that old fashioned = bad. That's just not the case

"Take a card."
"WHAT??"
Ollie's reactions were always real and priceless.
*Oliver slaps the imaginary cards out of Stan's hands*
Stan: Look what he did!
The mere mention of the name laurel and hardy makes me smile.......
A genuine air of menace in this one makes the comedy all the more entertaining.
God blessed us with a miracle. L&H. Thanks God. And thank you Mr Hardy and Mr Laurel.
absolutely hilarious don't do comedy like this anymore two of the best funniest characters in history such gentlemen 💞
I agree, great. But watch Steve Martin Marty Short. Comic genius. You can tell they like each other. Laurie and Frye. Esp. Wooster and Jeeves. Jerry Lewis said his happiest times was working with Dean Martin. Great teams.
"Look what he did!". "You dropped one." I love it when he blows Stan's hat off with the bugle.
He also hits Oliver on the head with the ladle.
Love that one!
Brilliant...I can watch it over and over again.
Jack Barty. To me, he will always be Jitters. And Mae Busch. WOW.
The subtlety of their reactions are just brilliant and I can’t help laughing out loud. Happy days enjoying their antics with family when I was a child 🤣😍💗
The only commediants that make me freel happy. They make me laugh saying npthing
Love the bit when Jitters hits Ollie over the head with the ladle.
What a shame the youngsters of today, are not brought up with this timeless comedy.
In the not too distant future, people will have no idea who Laurel & Hardy were.
And that's a real shame.
I think parents who love L &H will always pas s them down to the next generation.
One of the greatest scenes in comedy history.
I could watch this a thousand times & never get tired of it. #stanandollieforever #laurelandhardyforever
The boys are comedic genius.
The Grandmasters of comedy.
Ageless standard
Stanley's had enough "Your nuts" hilarious
Stan's confusion at the imaginary dinner combined with him throwing in his playing along about it (losening his vest, throwing salt over his shoulder) was all hilarity that very few others could pull off so well
I can watch this scene over and over. Love Jack Barty.
"Have you ever had your throat cut? Well, you're going to" ........delivered with perfection....."She's the crazy one"
Holy smokes!
Lol Lol Lawdt...Yup she sure is....Too Too Funny..
I have to totally agree. Said with such enthusiasm.i couldn't quit laughing
This is true comedy. Just wonderful
Absolutely wonderful brilliant adorable exquisite comedians, magnificent
Magnificent - and a great name for a butler.
Fenomeni, assolutamente geniali, attori inarrivabili, non ne nasceranno più, hanno fatto innamorare generazioni di persone, semplicemente immortali!! 😘😘😘
The bit in the end when jitters is playing the trumpet and gestures up this way.
The best ever no doubt about it every comic after them nicked a piece of them
Love this. Such imagination.
Mae Busch. Jitters Barty. You dropped one. Can't be better than this.
Absolute gem
jitters. perfect name
Cant stop watching this its beyond funny 😆
Mae Busch Beautiful Woman. Brilliant Actress
Quite surreal. I love this and I love spooky butlers. It's a pity Jack Barty wasn't used again with L & H.
I love jitters Hes hilarious go on show him your card timeless
😂
Pure genius, and a way ahead of their time.
Don't you just love them !
Thanks for pointing Barrty out. I’ve always known and loved Mae Busch, but I was unfamiliar with Barty (although I’ve seen Oliver the Eighth), so I looked at his filmography and I see that he was an uncredited writer on Sons of the Desert!
Thanks again.
Très amusant ! Ah! Nos héros de notre enfance! Souvenirs très émouvants.
Hui ami ,
Laurel et Hardy sont tre's amusant et superbe.
Pour les enfants et vieux.
Timing, facial expressions, sound effects... All perfectly executed... There comedy was copied but never bettered.
I love watching Mae Bush, what a great job.
Brilliant performance 👌
Actors today should learn from them R.I.P one of the great ones ✌️
best comedy team ever
Laurel and hardy are the best
Surrealism at its best hilarious 🤣
How about that Butler he was freaking hilarious
He was freaking me out!
@@hazelanderson1479 You're Nuts!!!
Outstanding.
Love Laural and Hardy
Simply the best
I loved these guys!💕
Such a genius scene.
In india people often said new generation is intelligent but I don't believe. Laurel hardy chaplin set benchmark which no generation ever touched. All generation since 1930 till end of universe gonna love this
Los mejores del Mundo
Now, that was funny!!!! This is non existent in today’s entertainment. A damn shame.
My heroes
The detail is stunning.
Stan @ Ollie were the best. everyone else runs a distant 2nd. God Bless Stan @ Ollie.
I always love the bit where Stan unbuttons his waistcoat whilst eating the "soup". "My, this soup is really filling!"
Nice weather we had tomorrow Hardy yes it certainly was gulp
Mae Busch was a very attractive woman in her younger years
"You dropped one." Marvelous.
Jitters, what a great name!😂
Sounds like a Dickens character !😂
Mae Bush featured in a lot of Stan and Ollies early classic short films.
When I first saw this as a boy, I probably just thought of her as an old woman. Now that I'm 52 I find her rather attractive!
She's great her roles are so convincing!! 💖
@@postscript67 🤣🤣🤣 yup she's hot !!!
She did a total of 14 L&H shorts for Hal Roach Studios during her time there. 🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭 🎬📽️🎞️🎥🎦 😁😁😁😁😁
Pass the salt that's the pepper 😂😂😂
4:30 Makes me want to have some soup.. To taste just as good as theirs.
She totally crazy hope they get out.😊✌💙
Je n'ai pas pu m'arrêter de rire 😆😅🤣
the best comedy team ever
Without question!!!
"Why certainly " !
nice weather we had tommorrow
It certainly...😐
Too bad that part was left out. At least we got to see Mae saying "goodbye, Oliver the eighth, I hope you have a nice.....long.....sleep!"
Extraordinary!
You left out
"Nice weather we had tomorrow!"
One week after this film was released, the idea for Weight-watchers was formed.
I laughed so hard when Stan hit that guy hahahaha.
That woman's hair!
That soup did look nice! I think they should of had a bread roll with it though 🤔
Don't be silly. That would have ruined the main course to follow. We will never know what it was 😕
You don't see comedians today doing physical comedy like they did
Jitters is the best butler ever
Great if your on a diet
Love to watch Laurel and Hardy
Amazing..😂
When jitters the butler asks Stan totake a card stan's confused face is priceless the just don't make comedy like it any more
Gust Genius Simple as that !!!
Troppo forti!!!!
Laurel Tastes the soup and adds more salt🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It wasn't the pepper?
Melhor dupla de comédia que já existiu não existe mais iguais
Nostalgia at its finest...
The best of the best R I P
