haven't seen a clip of Laural and Hardy in about 10years. I'd rather not just incase i dont find it as funny anymore.
Did this with Dads Army and Red Dwarf recently, used to think they were excellent but after rewatching a few episodes, i rose tinted image has gone.

Very funny!
I used to think The Two Ronnies and Morecombe & Wise weren't funny when I was young, but when I watch them now I realise they were actually comedy geniuses, like Laurel & Hardy

I still find them funny, never really like any of the other old stuff, Charlie Chaplin for example, Laurel and Hardy were funny to look at before they did anything, it may be slight rose tinted specs but watching them again I still laugh, Stan Laurels expressions, Oliver Hardy's pomposity, the slapstick and the desperation of their situation that underpins it, Only Fools and Horses, Steptoe and Son all owe a lot to them, to mention but two.

Laurel acting to be disabled, and getting pusehed about by Hardy is pretty good too. "I knew he was yellow!" before their dog fight was cooler than anything as well 
Genius

Where Laurel and Hardy are in bed and the lady of the mansion is going to kill them or have them killed - Laurel wakes to see Hardys toes at the end of the bed ..... thinking that they are someones hand coming to murder them in their sleep, he awakes Hardy - who looks and is also convinced that it is a madmans hand ...... he leans over and grabs the shotgun.
And promtly shoots his own foot off!!

There's one when Fat Hardy is bullying skinny Laurel (as usual!) while they both are decorating. Hardy chases Laurel around the room like mad. Suddenly the floor cracks, and Hardy goes through the floor, full of dust, cracking his fat @rse on the basement floor! LOL
In one film, they are saving some people from a house fire, I think. The "ladder" episide in that film is so funny that you won't be able to stop crying while laughing your guts off!
They used slapstick-***-silly-billianism
beyond its own praise, they used it so damn well Hats off to Laurel and Hardy

Even sprinting Ace Ventura will have his butt kicked by the talent L&D had. Conolly, due his long legs might get 1% of what L&D had.

I was just thinking Harold Lloyd as well, great talent, people may think them old but these guys pioneered comedy and stunt work - they are truly fab!

Big fan here too last year I managed to get the whole box collection from HMV for £50, So funny I had forgotten how funny they were, also the disc's have been digitally enhanced and you can also watch them in colour

Used to see them every week at the Saturday Morning Pictures. I still laugh when I remember some of their antics.
They have a pair who look just like them who turn up at Goodwood Revival. Their old car looks authentic when they drive around the place. I keep expecting the doors and wings to fall off!

I love Laurel and Hardy.
The one where Stan is being chased around the bedroom by a woman who's after a document he has.
The syphoning drink one.
I love the dance.........

I love the one where they are revamping the boat, and one of them gets his head stuck between the bulkhead and the mast, so he saws the mast off.
Classic humor,
