Arguably the greatest comedy duo of all time. I'm not sure why it only just occurred to me look for them on You Tube, but I just have - and I snorted with laughter all the way through.
In my book, a guy who doesn't like Laurel & Hardy just ain't worth a damn.
Here's a bunch of 'em that made me laugh - but there seem to be dozens on You Tube. Hurrah!

"Pa! That Guy Kicked Me!"

Best bit: The guy on the phone gets a ball in the mush. Looks like it hurt too. Nyuk.
"Ghosts"
www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5fghNd9QZ8
Starts off mildly smile-worthy and builds into a crescendo of glorious stupid that makes you weep with joy.
Best bit: Laurel holding the door shut in a cowardly manner.
"There's Gonna Be A Fight!"

Insults are traded and a declaration is made. Basically what the title says.
Best Bit: "OooOH! I don't know what that means, but all these people can't be wrong!"
"Blockheads"

The blunders of technology. Here: an automatic garage door.
Best bit: The expectation.
"Blotto"

Because being drunk is funny.
Best bit: The punchline.
"The Music Box"
www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaKDcCzzcqQ
Laurel & Hardy try and get a piano up some steps, with hilarious consequences.
Best bit: The bit with the hat.
"Shine on Harvest Moon"

No laughs here, apart from the bit with the legs - but it is a beautiful song and Ollie sure can sing! Extra points for soft shoe shuffling.
Best bit: Laurel does something very strange with his legs.
