    The first one busy bodies, I believe Stan does not speak !, in fact he says "come in". I'm not as dumb as you look either. Buster Keaton was excellent with stunts and Harold Lloyd.

    Stan: You remember how dumb I used to be?
    Ollie: Yeah?
    Stan: Well, I'm better now...

    Laurel n Hardy dancing to AC/DC. Brill.

    Any particular reason why these classics aren't on TV anymore. L&H, Buster K, Harold L, Charlie C etc. Comedy at its best.

    No wonder the old tradition is dead and buried now..

    My favourite ever Laurel & Hardy, well worth the 30 minutes watch..<ok>

    Absolutely..<ok>

    Thing is, it was so simplistically brilliant. I remember when I shared a flat with my son back in 2002/03 and these were shown on BBC2 over Christmas every morning and I laughed that much one day that I think my lad thought I'd dropped some California Sunshine or summat.. ;)

    A few weeks ago I introduced my kids to Laurel and Hardy. I've not seen them laugh so hard as they have done watching them. How many generations are missing out on these gems

    My favourite so far... absolutely laugh your nuts off, cry your eyes out, brilliant...

    Seen it so many times but still absolutely brilliant mate.. <applause>

    I have the full box set of everything they did together so started my 6 year old daughter watching them recently and she loves them..

    On a footnote, this is worth a watch too, just before Oliver Hardy's death in 1957..

    Was talking about them last night.

    They were massive in germany also. My kraut mate sent me this. When he visited his grave.

    Seems their humour was universal.
