I am over 50 years of age and in my lifetime I have never found any comedy duo to be anywhere near as funny as the legends which were and still are Laurel & Hardy. Thanks for all the laughs.
Me too, I’m early fifties and grew up watching them on TV in the seventies. Though I’ve liked a lot of very different comedy over the years Laurel and Hardy are still top of my list when it comes to the greatest comedy of all time.
yup pretty much. You can have a somewhat rumbling of amusement on very rare occasion with other Duos but it's only the truly great of the arts that effortlessly remain still very funny. Something great shall always remain so and that's why these guys shall always be so thrilling to watch. It's when you genuinely can't remain silent for letting out chortles that you know how excellent this stuff still is. As modern as the day it was performed
Everything is timed to perfection, the choreography of the comedy never been surpassed, loved them as a kid and still do now, greatest comedy act ever.
Its constantly being copied, americans have never moved away from visual slapstick comedy, even their talk shows pay the stars to act 'goofy' in some visual comedic way for laughs
We loved Laurel and Hardy due to being brought up with our dad watching these he had the DVDs box sets in later life and then his great grandson loved watching them too ..happy days.
The visual comedy of these two was just timing and pure genius,...they executed the art of simple comedy like no others before or since ...they stand alone as the giants of their genre......
Just look at the awful rubbish that we have for comedy today. Nothing funny about it and panders to a woke agenda. Barrel and lardy we used to call them and they were the best!
My grandma loved them , so did my dad , so do I , so do my kids and so do my grandkids. I fully expect many, many more generations to love them , too. Just brilliant . Now please excuse me, my ear is full of milk !!!
I'll always be connected to these classics because they were my Grandpa's favorites so I got to watch them growing up. This style of slapstick is all but lost today.
I watched these guys all through my childhood, super funny. I remember the scene with the pool queue going through the glass & I still laughed when I just saw it 😂
So good, so well done , still amazing years later I grew up watching them little realising they had passed away long before I knew who they were - they gave so much laughter to the world and still do
I think the coolest thing about watching this today is knowing they were genuine, they stayed close friends until the end and Stan tried to personally reply to every fan letter he got, even talking to fans on the phone, true class. ❤
To paraphrase one of my favourite lines of Stan's, when he answered the phone: "Mr Laurel, it's a long distance from England". Laurel: "It sure is" (puts phone down)!🤣
Such simple clowning around, but the comic timing and chemistry between both actors, made them amongst the best comedy duo to have graced the Holywood screen. Mention slapstick comedy, and Laurel & Hardy are high on the list as the finest there's been. Thank God for the existence of the Hal Roach studios.

Got the full box set with everything they did, including the silent stuff they did separately before they got together. Them Thar Hills & Tit for Tat still hilarious every time 😂😂😂😂
Stan Laurel was born in Ulverstan, England. There is a Laurel and Hardy Museum there. My friend and I spent about five hours there, there are many artifacts about their life there, including a small theater, we watched their movie shorts for about three hours, we had many laughs. A few blocks away is the house where he was born, with a Plaque outside. It was well worth the trip.
Sometimes, the old comedy is as good as it gets. After an hour of scrolling through memes, none of them made me laugh as much as this clip did. Laurel and Hardy will be forever remembered, long after today's comedians are gone that's for sure!
This kind of comedy never gets old, and I don’t think anyone has even come close to the magic that these guys had! Best of all I can still see my dad sat in his chair laughing his head off with tears steaming down his face while watching them!
Pure comedy gold. Between now and the end of time nothing or no one will ever be as funny as Laurel and Hardy. The world is far too serious nowadays. Laurel and Hardy should be shown on TV every morning. The world would become a better and more happier place.
Pure genius they set the bar no other duo has ever been able to reach my favourite is when they are chimney sweeps in a posh house they trash the place and the butler walks into the room and says ( somewhere there is an electric chair waiting ) What a classic
Haven't seen them since my childhood on the old black-and-white console! They were the leaders of video comedy! Two of the first. Rest in peace boys, rest in peace!!
As long as people continue to possess a sense of humour their comedy will live on. Still the funniest double act of all time. Their like will never be equalled let alone surpassed.
Dated, but this gives them a quality that no-one else can match. There is an unreal quality that enhances their contribution to film comedy. Simply the greatest !!
I always cry with laughter every time I watch this clip I have never seen pool played quite like it. Brilliant. Laurel and Hardy were the master's of situation comedy. They could get a laugh out of anything. Brilliant not outdated humour.
+Walter Smeg ive been watching them the last 60yrs i first seen them on a saturday morning in the a b c cinema for minors best time of my life and they still make me laugh 😀😀😀
When I was young we didn't have a TV but once a week we went to our cousin to watch these folks! It was a great evening we were waiting for the whole week!
Having mastered the physical aspects of comedy during their time in silent movies, Stan and Ollie were able to add their spoken talent and produce brilliant results. It’s wonderful to have access to their delightful work! 🇨🇦
I'm 52 years old and my Dad is 83 and he STILL says to me about seeing these comedy duo KINGS in "shorts" trailers at the cinema when he was a young lad. I loved the absurdity of the sound made when being hit on the head with a pool cue and how easily the pool table baize was torn. No pool table covering is THAT thin.🎱😅😅😅😅😅😅😅x1000
It's pleasing to read through all these comments where nobody has a bad word for these comedy legends, and rightly so as they are the best in the business..

I never get tired of watching them . They make me laugh everytime and believe me with this crazy world I need them . Thanks for sharing . 😅😂🥰
They were the best.
They *ARE* the best.

I am old enough to remember Laurel and Hardy as great movie comedians of that era. They still get laughs today
My grandma loved them , so did my dad , so do I , so do my kids and so do my grandkids. I fully expect many, many more generations to love them , too. Just brilliant . Now please excuse me, my ear is full of milk !!!
The sound effects add immensely to the comedy, especially when Ollie hits Stan with something. Hysterical!
You can watch their movies a million times over and still laugh your socks off 😂🤣😅🤣😅🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣🤣😂
It's true. I laughed until my socks came off.
How they got past my shoes, I'll never know.
I'll always be connected to these classics because they were my Grandpa's favorites so I got to watch them growing up. This style of slapstick is all but lost today.
so many years gone by and we still love it...must have done something good...These 2 legends;)
King of comedians.Generations to come will enjoy Laurel and Hardy movies.
Always a good laugh! Timeless. Made for eternity. I will always love them....
No one will ever be like them. They are a legend 👏🏻👏🏻

One of the joys of the summer holidays at school was six weeks of Laurel & Hardy films. Even when you know what is going to happen it is still funny.
Absolutely solid gold talent

I'll be 76 this year, and I still remember watching them when I was a kid. Even then those old comedies seemed really old to me.
Funniest double act ever. Never fail to make me laugh. Just Genius.
Nearly 100 years on & they're still funny, that duo were at the top of their game.
I visited the Laurel and Hardy museum in Ulverston. It was great! I love Stan and Olly
I never realized until recently how great an actor and comedian Oliver Hardy was. He had me in stitches in this skit

Yes when these gems are coupled to memories it's pure joy... BR, Per (Denmark)
Every second is carefully crafted comedy genius ! IMO the greatest film comedians of all time !
they were always on during day when skiving off school in the 80s and 90s in england
Smashing in every sense ! You knew what was going to happen , but still laughed when it did !
Watched them time and time again, and I know what's coming but still laugh, never have been surpassed, it's comedy that is timeless.
Comedy Geniuses..They take me back to been a kid..And I still watch them now at nearly 52 and still Love em..All the best for 2021 Everyone🍺

Best and funniest game of pool ever!
There will never be anyone as funny as these two comedy legends.
I used to watch all the black & whites with my grandpa as a kid. The laurel & hardy where he lights his thumb on fire is so hilarious😄
Laurel and Hardy were the only comedy team that could make people laugh without saying a word.
How is it possible that 57 people have given thumbs down? Loved these guys since I was a little kid. Best ever.
Because these 57 people are blockhead and have no sense of humour !!!
Friendly from France.
Some people got no soul. Thats their problem...
I never get tired of them! They get funnier the more you watch them!
Love, love, love these two. They were perfect together
Truly genious comic couple! Like them since i was a kid.
Magnificent comedy!!!!
As long as people continue to possess a sense of humour their comedy will live on. Still the funniest double act of all time. Their like will never be equalled let alone surpassed.
Still the best
FOREVER
Classic. You do nothing but just enjoying and laughing by watching the Duo shows. Both are extraordinary
I used to love Saturday mornings as a kid with all the old black and white comedies. Buster Keaton, harold lloyd and these two
Absolute brilliance. No one even comes close today
You wouldn't invite Stan round for a game of pool if you had the games room now would you !!!!
@Induxvideos Comparing John Cleese to Laurel and Hardy is like comparing David Beckham to Pele!
@@nik1969100 totally different humour. Cheese is a genius. Faulty towers was one of the funniest things ever made. As was the life of Brian.

Most funny pair, great comedy I love, every minute something is funny is happening
This was so very funny, I appreciated the genius & timing it takes to nail this one skit down.
Love these guys. They were so great. To make a funny skit over a simple subject of playing pool...
Two legends !
Laurel & Hardy that's my favourit duo. Greetings from Warsaw, Poland
😂Hilarious, I have always loved these 2, that hasn’t changed👍👍
Heard Graham Norton refer to Adam Sandler as a comedy genius the other night.He should watch these two . They were and still are comedy geniuses.
I heard that Mrs. Hardy had a daughter named Lorilynn
Adam Sandler a comedian?
Worth remembering everyone nowadays is either a genius,legend or hero.the words have lost all meaning.
Sandler? Not even close!
It's not like Graham to get it wrong but Adam is a hack, his "get really angry for no reason" routine annoys the hell out of me.
Many times i get tears in my eyes..couse of the funny acts they did..Laurel and Hardy are legends..🤣😅👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
What a game of pool,those guys are hilarious!!!
Geniuses, what a duo they were. Their comedy was absolutely timeless.
I must admit, the ice cream sketch is my favourite.
I’ll have Chocolate!!!!🤣😂
My favorite comedy dual, bar-none. Era long gone. Thanks for the needed laugh.
They were actually comical genius ever made back then. I have a few episodes of Laurel and Hardy on DVD.
