    I'm hoped they're insured is meant to be a joked, by that I mean joke. I'm aware it's bad grammar. I was trying to be funny like L&H. What a stupid thing to do.

      Hardy: Well, here’s another fine mess!
      Laurel: Don’t worry, I’m sure we’re insured
      Hardy: Well that’s a load off my mi-(realization hits and he does that look to the camera)
      Idk that’s how I imagine it playing out, it seemed kinda funny to me🤷‍♂️

    Looks so easy, but the writing, planning, timing, and reactions are pure genius. Laurel did create 99% of it but he had a perfect comic foil to work with and he he knew it.

    Bravo!
    My brother Rick Gardner and I grew up with the genius of Laurel and Hardy entertaining us, teaching us and nourishing us; they were our friends, and we loved them first because they somehow exuded sweetness and warmth even in chaos, and second because they were so funny. We watched them endlessly, not caring how many times we had seen the film or how thoroughly we knew the dialogue and tiny details in the cutting. We cherished every moment either of them was on the screen, whether there was a laugh in it or not. We were always thrilled merely to be in the company of those beautiful, magical guys. We played with Laurel and Hardy toys before we even knew who they were; they were called “bendies,” poseable figures of rubber and wire, and we called them “fat guy and skinny guy.” In time we not only knew who they were, but we knew Charlie Hall, Mae Busch, James Finlayson, Tiny Sanford, Thelma Todd and others of their repeating cast members. I pretended I had lost a library book, The Films of Laurel and Hardy by William K. Everton, letting my parents pay the library for it. By the time they found it hidden in my room I had read it so many times that it looked as if a hundred people had owned it. Rick and I are 57 and 58 now, and our love for Laurel and Hardy is deeper and richer, tinged with gratitude and the bittersweet understanding of time only adulthood can bring. We watched Below Zero last night, discussing Blanche Payson’s patented harridan role while she destroyed Ollie’s double bass and Stan’s folding harpsichord. She essentially plays the same monster in Our Wife as Ben Turpin’s daughter, and in Helpmates as the wife who sends Ollie home sadder, wiser and dizzier (and with a bent sword, the implication of which is unmistakable). I didn’t mean to take your time like this, but it’s hard not to run on when the topic is as near and dear to your heart as Laurel and Hardy are to mine. I only intended to say thanks for sharing this. And in case anyone doesn’t know, Helpmates is the funniest movie ever made.

      Personally I think the Marx brothers where better since they had more diversity in their act. They also did stuff in real life that was just as crazy as their movies.
      Harpo was once arrested under charges of vagrancy, illegal entry into a home and impersonating himself while dressed as Kaiser Wilhelm.
      How that happened is in his book Harpo speaks! Along with many other things.

    @hebneh 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    L&H movies were among the first to adapt comedic audio effects after the introduction of sound film. This includes, for example, the sound of breaking glass off-screen after some object has been thrown, or a loud thunk when someone gets hit on the head. We take these things for granted, but they were impossible in silent movies, and someone had to come up with the idea to use them.
