Laurel and Hardy have been making the world laugh since they were teamed up in 1927. Come walk with me as I visit the resting places of two comic geniuses at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Hollywood and Valhalla Cemetery in Burbank.
The Laurel and Hardy DVD Collection is available at Amazon.com: www.amazon.com/Laurel-Hardy-E...
We will never see their like again. I miss their sweetness. their gentle humor. Their tender regard for each other is obvious and touching. God Rest them both.
You said it perfectly. They were truly special.
We grew up with Stan and Oliver in the 1950's, they were a Saturday morning staple. To this day whenever I leave my brother's house we say "Goodbye" imitating the boys. Thanks for posting.
I was born a decade after Stan died but when I was a kid with Cancer they were the only thing that would make me laugh I love them!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your story.
Throw out the clutch, and sure enough he throws out the clutch. Absolutely classic. Two of the world's favourite comics and still relevant today.
To me personally being a great fan of laurel and Hardy it's so very inspiring to see so many of the younger generation still watching the madcap duo as they go about in their usual indomitable way tripping over each others feet, and hilariously crashing into every scene with that spirit that drew them apart from other comics. They were and still are two of a kind the likes of which we will never witness again!
I was born in 1966 and we grew up watching Laurel and Hardy in the 1970s they were always on t.v and we never miss one shows ..they made us laugh and goof off after watching them ..was a big part of our life growing up and will always love these two guys
I grew up with Laurel and Hardy, my dad was a member of a local Laurel and Hardy tent and had a lot of their shorts on Super 8. They will always be my favourite. I mean, if the queen of England watches them when she's sick to cheer herself up, then they can make anyone smile.
Love Laurel and Hardy! Thanks for the sweet salute to two amazing actors!
I was born in '58 in Chicago. Saturday morning movies consisted of the Bowery Boys, Charlie Chan, Shirley Temple & Laurel & Hardy. Thank You they mean alot to me also!
Thank you for commenting! There was something about that era of entertainers that was truly special.
Very nice. I loved watching them as a kid. There will never be comedy such as this ever again.
They were the greatest, two old and dear friends.
Funny isn't a big enough word to describe these two genius's. Thank you for the laughs, Stan and Oliver.
You're so right. These guys had something special.
"Now here's another fine mess you've gotten us into."
"*cries* But I can't help it." -Stan Laurel, and Oliver Hardy.
geniuses plural not possessive Fix it!! GN
The Three Stooges, The Marx Bros., Peter Sellers, Benny Hill to name a few wouldn't have had careers without Stan and Ollie.
britainluver431 why don’t you do something to help me? What can I do? It glew shut.
You had nothing to do, so you came by. Well here I was having the happiest time of my life - county hospital
I was born the year Stan died. I loved Laurel and Hardy. They were awesome! I watched them with my family when I was a kid.
Laurel and Hardy were the absolute masters of comedic timing. No one can live forever but they do through film, making more generations laugh for untold years to come.
I recently bought the box set of all the movies - almost 100 years on im still laughing
Laurel and Hardy's humor is timeless, and no matter how many times I see it, it's always funny. Thank you for commenting. :)
can I have your box set when you go to meet them personally. I will keep the laughter going.
Me too, I just baught their box set, it's brilliant
My thanks to them for all the laughter they've given me over the years.
Love them for that.
Stan Laurel once said: “If any of you cry at my funeral
,I'll never speak to you again.”
Oh my a genius of comedy even after death making the world laugh ...both these 2 guys gone but never ever forgotten...such a crazy pair it was always madness and mayhem but omg so damn funny ..still watching these legends and im 55 now and will continue to do so ...my family watch now..stan & ollie we love you thanks for the laughs ..hope your both up there having a laugh too 👍😊😘
And i say, 'stop copying what other people in other RUclips video comments'
IF !! I WAS !! LAUGHING !!! LAUREL !! WOULDN'T !! LEAVE !! ME !! ALONE !!!!
i realize Im kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to watch newly released movies online?
@Julius Dexter i use flixzone. You can find it on google =)
Loved them all my life
Absolute legends of film. Thanks for all the memories guys.
there will never be another Laurel and Hardy. they were the best. so funny.
Timothy Maxwell Maxwell So true! Thank you for commenting.
Laurel and hardy r 2 comedy genius who have always made me and my children laugh. 2 greats passed but never to b forgotten.
Simply put. The greatest comedy duo of all time!
True. Would make you wonder, a guy from Georgia, USA and another from Northern England.
I can't think of 2 guys that always put a smile on my face and that's Laurel and Hardy . My favorite was one called Brats when they played double roles of themselves they had to baby sit their kids that looked like them . There is one thing that makes me sad and put a smile on my face was I read that Stan Laurel once said that if anyone cries at his funeral , I'll never speak to them again . Even though , he knew his time on Earth was coming to an end , he still finds a way put a smile on your face . There will never be another Laurel Hardy . God Bless both of their souls and Happy Trails To You , Until We Meet Again !
Thank you for being so wonderful
Two iconic geniuses of the silver screen, no matter how many times you watch their films, you never get bored...their incredible ability to capture the audience and have you in fits of laughter is still as relevant today as it was when they first made their films all those years ago. Thank you Stan, thank you Oliver from the bottom of my heart for continually tickling my ribs with your incredible slapstick comedy. God bless you both!
What a lovely tribute to the truly unique Mr Laurel and Mr Hardy, and for the wonderful insight into their final resting place, as well as other Hollywood Greats. Not ashamed to say that I shed some tears. Thanks very much for posting!
I could spend all day looking around these beautiful cemetery
grew up watching these guys in the 70' and 80's true comedy kings there laughter is infectious when stan throws out the clutch from the car made me laugh so hard love it may they rest in heavenly peace 😇
Laurel and hardy brought so much laughter to a bad world and still do it today and will do forever
I grew up watching them as well in the 60's and 70's, loved them then, love them now! great clips at the end! thanks for sharing!
It was my pleasure, thank you watching and leaving such a nice comment :)
Me too
I grew up watching the greatest Laurel & Hardy on our tiny black & white tv. Now I DVR them on our huge screen every Saturday. I adored them. Thank you for the tour. you have a wonderful voice, very soothing. 4-2017
Thank you very much for your kind words. :) Long live Laurel & Hardy!
I loved them all. Abbot & Costello, Lewis & Martin, Lemmon & Mathou, Burns & Allen but I think Laural & Hardy cause they were the first for me. We recorded them all on vhs back when it first came out & still have & play the tapes.
I think all comedy duos, owe something to Laurel & Hardy. The laughter they gave to the world is special beyond words. Thank you for taking the time to comment. :)
I loved Laurel and Hardy growing up...They were true funny guys for sure...they knew how to do it!!
Yes, the boys were great. They didn't even have to do anything to get a laugh, just the sight of them was enough. I'm so glad that people still appreciate their flawless craft. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

laurel and hardy are the MASTERS of comedy, there will never be anyone who can even come close to there comedy genius, they are a one off.I don't care how miserable or depressed you are , just put on a laurel and hardy and it will ALWAYS cheer you up
You are so right! Not long ago, I read that Queen Elizabeth cheered herself up during her Christmas illness by watching Laurel and Hardy films. The greatest gift is the gift of laughter.
totally agree I must have been only 5 when I first watched one of their films , they were in a maze messing about ( a chump at oxford ) I can remember it as if it was only yesterday a Monday around 5 pm , my mum & dad came into the room because I was laughing so much & crying at the two men on the t.v. I thought they were called laurel lardy ( was only 5 !!!) but my parents told me their right names & told me they had gone to see them in Swindon where I live in the early 50's on the vaudeville tour they made in England .
Well said!! They Are the best and will never be replaced. Stupid rude comics of today should be ashamed of their material. I laugh more now than when i first saw these geniuses!
Thanks To Laurel and Hardy For All The Many Laughs and Movies Over The Years. RIP Always
I always believed that the difference between their teaming, and others, was that the characters of both Ollie and Stan showed a real love, kindness, and mutual respect for each other. They had their arguments (what two people don't get on each other's nerves from time to time), but in the end, they had each other's backs. They showed good values to kids of all ages.
So true! Thank you for commenting :)

I Laugh until I fall over watching the one where Laurel is sitting at the veterans hospital bench on his leg . Oliver sees him sitting and thinks Stan lost his leg in the war.
He picks Stan up places him in wheelchair and gets in trouble with the guy who owns the chair.
After Oley gets punched he carries Stan to his car.
Yeah, so true, that's what makes them so charming and timeless: despite all their differences and arguments, they always showed a genuine compassion and care for each other underneath - and that separates them from other comedic pairs and groups of the time such as the Three Stooges, the Marx Brothers or Abbott & Costello, who were of course all comedic geniuses as well, but whose relationships always were much more defined by hostility. R.I.P. Stan and Ollie, you will always be the greatest comedic duo of all time, your comedy has entertained generations and will continue to do so.

Great video my kids ,and i love these guys ....i grew up with them ,i am 55 yrs old ,L H will be passed on ,to each generation ...RIP BOYS
It's so great that you are sharing L & H with your children... their comedy is truly timeless. Thank you for watching and commenting. :)
My all time favorite comedy team! Loved Laurel & Hardy!
I really enjoyed this video. My uncle has a hand written letter from Stan Laurel thanking him for being such a great fan for decades. He was a genuinely nice man to take the time to answer my uncle's letter. A trait that you don't find anymore. I showed my 7 and 10 year old kids the other night the scene where Stan played the bed spring harp in the Flying Deuces and they actually laughed out loud. Great channel and please keep them rolling.
We all need to smile more. Just the simple act of putting a smile on your face can lead you to feel actual happiness, joy, or amusement. Laurel and Hardy brought many years of happiness into our lives.
Oh how these two make you laugh. Sweet gentlemen! Thanks for the laughs. You will never be forgotten! I have just baught all yr films in a boxset. So good to see you both! 💜 You're still giving us the joy of laughter, and I'm sure you still are now, where ever you are! 💜 never forgotten, love sharon xxxxx 💝 ♥
Laurel and Hardy legends in comedy. There will never be anyone like these two again
My autistic daughter only ever laughed at these, it was so fantastic to hear her laugh for the 1st time, they should still be showing them on TV now. Rip
Yes they really were the greatest comedy,and watched them since my young childhood, and still watching them today as being an adult almost everyday on youtube,and still loughing when I am depressed,and they make my day and forget all my depressed and stressful days,may you both rest in peace.
Legends that will never die
It makes me so sad to watch this. I loved this duo and watched their every work. Wish I could meet my heroes and thank them for all the laughs, but I never will.
Stans laugh will always have me in tears of laughter too.. comic geniuses

i love watching their movies
Stan and laurel where the best ,I still whach the even today and my children loved them too they filled our hearts with joy may they both find peace (RIP)Stan&Laurel
Yes, Stan and himself are worth a tribute, and so is Oliver Hardy.
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are the best Comedy of all time .
Iconic !!!!!
AWESOME VIDEO! I was born 1986 and my dad raised me on Laurel and Hardy and to this day I thank God every day that he did! They are incredible! My dad was just like Hardy, not big, but always getting hit or falling making the exact same noises. Looking back on it all these years later after his death I realized he was constantly reenacting Laurel and Hardy for us but acting like it was real and a lot of the time accidentally hurting himself in the process. Lol
They were the masters of pure comedy. Even today they bring smiles on faces. These people do not die They live in the hearts of the people. They are immortal.
Brilliant, thank you ! My comedy heroes !!!!!!!!
Lovely tribute!
thank u from Scotland loved your video like u as a boy I loved them both a still laugh at them today and when I need to laugh a look them up
This is one of the best RUclips videos ever! I’ve been to Stan’s birthplace in England, the Music Box stairs, and the graves of both wonderful geniuses. Watching this was an immense pleasure. Thanks from Canada!
I love the clips at the end...Laughed my butt off...I don't care how many times you see it its always funny when your dealing with all the old guys...
Robert Echols it's damn true
Fabulous duo theybwere much loved i grew up whith them such lovely actors and made me laugh xxxx
They were truly something special !!
I would have never been able to go on my own thanks !!!
they were as good as the stooges for sure. Rest in Peace Stan and Oliver. You guys will never be forgotten and always missed dearly.
As good? There would not be Stooges without L&H! Period! They are the king, everyone else, is a jester in their court!
Great video. Like yourself I was born well after Stan Laurel had passed away. Thanks to my Dad being a fan, I grew up watching many of their shows. This put a smile on my face so thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for taking the time to comment :)
Stan Laurel went to the same school I did King James 1st in Bishop Auckland County Durham England there's a statue of him not far from the school.
What a thrill that must have been for you and your classmates!
Gav - Relton x
had to check that out, so he lived with his grandmother, never new that, i'm from Durham
@@neonskyline1 Yes, both Stan and Hardy were born in their grandmothers' houses. Stan lived with his grandparents in Ulverston until the age of 5.
I was first introduced to Laurel and Hardy at a very young age, when I used to visit my grandparents, they had "March of the Wooden Soldiers" on VHS, and I would quite often borrow it.
Thank you for sharing. I often hear from people who were introduced to Laurel and Hardy by parents and grandparents. It's a wonderful testament to L&H that their comic brilliance is recognized across generations.
I've been to stand home in Ulverston many times. Great place and area to visit in England. love the two giant comedians.
That must have been a great visit! I've been to the Music Box steps in Silverlake several times, and it's always amazes me to be in the place where they created that masterpiece.
Thank you for your touching tribute to Laurel and Hardy and others, very tastefully and respectfully accomplished. I was born less than a half mile away from Stan in Ulverston, Lancashire (now Cumbria), UK and grew up with their films punctuated by My Dad's and my own laughter. How I wish Dad had lived long enough to experience the internet and especially RUclips. Thanks again and very well done. Philip Hatfield.
philip hatfield Thank you very much for your very kind words. It is amazing how two comics have been bringing people together for so many years. They are truly immortal. 😊
When I was 14 years old I made a "Laurel and Hardy" home movie with some schoolfriends as a tribute, here's the link, best wishes, Phil ruclips.net/video/KCU1OzVHVik/видео.html
One of the funniest things you can see is Oliver Hardy staring dejected into the camera lens 😂 RIP Stan and Olly, legends ❤
Oliver Hardy, in that tiny grave, must have been cremated. My parents when they were kids, were brought up with their keen sense of comedy. Even Martin and Lewis, couldn't match them. Thanks to some people who still remember them, would leave a flower or something on their graves. That flower urn at Oliver's seemed so empty.
Yes, you're right, Oliver Hardy was cremated. I too was a bit surprised to find his grave so neglected when I filmed this. But, last year I returned to Valhalla to make a video about other people buried there, and was very pleased to find fresh roses at his grave and to see that his headstone had been cleaned. If you are interested in seeing that video it is available on my channel. If you don't wish to watch the entire video, you can skip to about the 6:00 mark. Thank you for watching and for keeping the spirit of these comic legends alive. :)
Compared to the other 🌟 graves the lads were buried as they lived. Humble to the end. I somehow couldn't see them in big mausoleums they were too down to earth. Just watched the film and it is a belter. Kudos to john c and Steve coogan. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for this wonderful video. I loved Stan and Oliver as a child. I haven't watched them for years, and I was amazed how the scenes you chose made me laugh immediately. I'm still smiling. :-D
Stan died on my birthday to the day a year later....Feb 23, 1964 was I born....he left us a year later....May God bless these one of a kind comedy GENIUSES!!! R.i.p Stan n Ollie. ⚘
Their laughs were awesome. At some point I have to believe the laughter to have been honest and true even though they were acting. Thanks for the vid. I too grew up watching these cats. Sundays after church we'd rush home so we could watch their program followed by Harold Lloyd. Good stuff from so long ago.
Kevin Willert Yes, you're so right. They played those characters with such sympathy and honesty, I think that's why they are so great. Thank you for your comment!
I just looked up Oliver Hardy and wikipedia said his is in the Masonic Garden area of the Valhalla Memorial park, interesting that they have a Masonic area within the Cemetery . They were both in poor health in their later years and Hal Roach referred to them as a couple of "freight train smoke stacks" . they were both heavy smokers
califdad4
It looks like Hardy was cremated .
He is in such a small plot.
Awesome thank you for this! These guys are the only ones in the world that leave me in pain, from laughing!
Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing!
Barbro Vaage You're very welcome, thank you for watching :)
Great video. Beautiful and enjoyed the skits of Laural and Hardy.
thanks u for this beautifully done rip u where one of a kind
Thank you so much.
Thanks for sharing, I am rolling around laughing as they were and are still the Greatest😄😃 God Bless you both for making the world a better place.😇
A big part of my life never forgotten a proud helpmate
Great video and a beautiful tribute to Stan and Ollie. R.I.P.
love this! My father introduced myself and my son to laurel and hardy...They were even before my father's time (father was born in '44) and this has soft spot for me. i remember my father being so thrilled that I located a book on them(at the time, it took months of back orderin, through Amazon)....my father passed away and was in the middle of the book. I envision my father up above shooting the breeze with these characters. I just discovered your channel and love it...cemeteries have always held a soft spot for me.
Thank you for watching and your very kind comments. Laurel and Hardy are friends to so many, and it's wonderful that you have the added connection to them through your father. Best wishes to you and yours :)
Unbelievable good luck these two men were teamed together. My dad went to Santa Monica for some reason and I tagged along, just a little girl, and we passed by the apartment building where Laurel lived. He wasn't outside, but my dad told me he lived there and I didn't really believe it was true. For some reason I thought Laurel and Hardy lived in some movie place, not in an apartment. I was LITTLE, and apparently living in a Disneyland inside my noggin. But I also knew L&H were very, very special men and I loved them. Still love them.
I remember watching them when I was young still till now keep watching!!! RIP
My niece and nephew loved watching Laurel and Hardy when they came to visit. They both can recite the fish song from one of the movies. Nice video!
I can't tell you how happy it makes me that young people still appreciate Laurel and Hardy's talent. Your niece and nephew will have pals for life in these great comics. Thank you so much for your comment! Have a very Happy New Year!
You probably mean the sales pitch at the start of Towed In A Hole.
Rip stan and ollie you were simply the best ever ..
Enjoyed it very much. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the comment! I'm so glad there are so many out there who still love Laurel and Hardy.
Leslie Cole Jr nn
Fantastic! Many thanks ❤️
Laurel and Hardy seem like they would've been fun to hang out with.
Laughter without a single curse word or sexual reference . Those were the days my friend..we thought they would never end . But they did & it's truly a shame . RIP in peace Fella's .
Thanks for the belly laugh boys still laughing December 2019
