You can't beat good old Laurel and Hardy...just clean comedy, no swearing, no filth...just absolute beauty!

I can only watch these clips with great affection, and a smile on my face.

They don't even have to say anything to make you smile, two lovely men who had genuine affection for each other and the like of we will never see again.

That's why L & H did equally well in silents and talkies. Stan and Ollie's appeal is as endearing as it is enduring.

The greatest comedy team in history. I’m not sure that the boys had full knowledge of just how beloved they actually were. We’ll never see their likes again.

I think they did. Nice too, that Stans daughter lived to see their future popularity grow hugely.

All they have to do is just arch an eyebrow or look at the camera and you just bust out laughing. Geniuses.

Always my favorites. And I don't think I'm alone.

These two have been making me happy since I was 10 years old and still make me happy at 47. Amazing to think of all the tens of millions of people they’ve made laugh and laugh!

Two men we owe such a huge debt of gratitude to for the purest and most honest form of comedy to ever grace the stage and screen the world has ever witnessed.

Unforgettable

They made the world laugh...as well as me from my childhood years on. I can still hear the laughter of our whole family in the living room, ten of us watching this unique and never surpassed comical duo. Great times....

@rick "he would have".... not "want to"... sheesh... read a little..... That's cool he did that, a real person, not just some aloof "actor".

The most brilliant duo in modern comedic history. Their timing, material, and brotherly affection for each other are gifts that elicited love from audiences world-wide. Their humor remains as fresh and vital as it was in their heyday. Thanks for posting.

I love, love, loved these two. As a kid growing up watching them (re-runs) and laughing, to an adult watching them, and appreciating them for making me laugh and love them as a child (and of course still laughing at their material as an adult). I remember seeing some of the last footage of them together, looked like a camping holiday, and unlike what seems to happen to these duo teams and falling out, these two were friends and not just a comedy duo. Good memories and at some point, I need to get hold of all their stuff and have a marathon viewing of it.

I'm grinning like a kid again. :) I really enjoy watching these two.

"what is it!?" "you're standing on my foot" had me giggling :D

Thank you for putting these together. I love the way Stan and Babe improvise these funny situations for the newsreel cameras.

Pure class

The greatest comedy duo ever 😄🤣😊😃

They always make me smile, hats off to these fine gentlemen, have given me hours upon hours of laughter and enjoyment!!

"Your standing on my foot" One of the only good excuses for interrupting..

Thanks for posting these British newsreels. Stan and Ollie were discarded by Hollywood in the mid-1940s, but they were still in great demand in the UK and Europe where they toured with a stage show in the late 40s and early 50s. Looking at these newsreels, I think of the phrase "older, but NO wiser!"

I was fed this as a kid. I still grin or laugh at this style of humor.

the old gags are still the best

Thank you for letting us revisit those two wonderful gentlemen of days gone by. I loved the new film Stan and Ollie. It brought back so many memories of my childhood seeing them on the T.V.

What an awesome montage :)

Great to see these old films again. Keep them coming!!

When Stan came home, Olly went with him. When the liner was passing up the Channel, Olly asked the captain why all the lights on the shore from hundreds of houses and cars were flashing and the captain replied.... because they know you're here. Olly didn't believe him until he landed, where about 100,000 were waiting. He was dumbfounded.

When I was young I could not stand this pair but as I grew older I just love these two you don't get comedy like this any more we have a small collection of Stan and Ollie well done keep up the good work thanks

The guy in the music shop down St Giles Terrace in Northampton pointed me towards this video today when I asked about the history of the shop's premises. A few yards down from the music shop entrance was the old Theatre you see. The church in the background is still there, as are the houses you see briefly at 0:42.

In the Pantheon of comedy genius, the boys occupy the penthouse suite. Just as Beethoven will be listened to until the end of humanity, so will Laurel and Hardy be watched and enjoyed.

Greatest comedians ever !!!

Why did that "You're standing on my foot" make me laugh out loud in January 2023, a lifetime or more after it was recorded? Who knows? But if bringing joy to the world is a way to heaven, these two deserve eternal bliss.

Imagine seeing Laurel and ollie hardy walking down Hessle Rd, apparently, they did once, and went into Bean street pub.

Sometimes all they have to do to crack me up is cross my mind.

100years a double act and still l.o.l funny!!! they'll never be bettered

Your channel is brilliant :)

In the new movie Stan and Ollie, they staged the car gag in this movie clip, however, the new one included the wives.

Adorable!!

Even the throwaway gags at the beginning were classics - who else but The Boys would have gotten back in to the car to exit out the correct side? Laurel and Hardy logic.

perfect!

Searched for this after watching Stan and Ollie

RICH 1971 … What you write has happened in all televisions in Europe. I think because with the birth of private television stations, all televisions including state television stations, had to adapt to the new rules of audience and share. And Laurel and Hardy, even if they still had many fans, didn't guarantee a big share.

November would be interesting 😊

:)) Funny guys!

Entrañables !!!

They should be back on tv the world could do with a laugh

The times when to watch the tv was pure relax, now is only rubbish.

It's a shame that they never did anything with Chaplin together.

Sorry I'm unable to give you the name of that tune as I loaned the 78 RPM record to someone years ago, and never got it back. It's from the KPM Music Library (non copyright for use in film, TV and radio) and it's classified 'C' for Comedy. You might try accessing The KPM site. It's from the 50's, but it you might be able to find it if you can listen to the suitably classified tracks. They have titles like,"Funday","Rookie in the Ranks", etc.

You know who would have made a great Laurel, if they'd done a movie about them, was Hugh Laurie. Same face, really. But Hugh's age is showing...

1:16 "a respectable Bowler"? It didn't look like a respectable Bowler at the 1950 movies and tour-shows anymore and that's sad. These aren't the hats they're always used. The hat from Stan was alsways "hard" and not so "soft-looking". Same as for Oliver's hat. Why did the hats look so bad at that time? I know, it's nothing big but for me it is...
