Now they were probably dead before most of us were born but we’ve all seen their old black and white films.
Laurel and Hardy: as a comedy duo they have never been surpassed. Their comic timing, their expressions, no duo has even had it down to such a fine art as those two did.
Better than Tom and Jerry anyday!
😀
Oh yeah they were great! But I think we still have some great duos of comedy out there! From the olden days . . . Lewis and Martin, Abbot and Costello (my favorites), Cheech and Chong, and from now Penn and Teller, Keenan and Kel, Mike Meyers and Dana Carvey; and my favorite animated duo – Wallace and Gromit.
Whoever they are – they always bring out the grin in me. 😀
We’ll have to agree to disagree on that one, PolarBear.
I agree that Abbot and Costello were good but I don’t think that they had L&H’s timing, or at least not as consistently.
[or maybe the old black & white film techniques don’t do them justice. Imagine the money that [dual] talent like theirs could generate today!]
I love Laurel and Hardy! My favorites of theirs are their shorts. Especially, “Berth Marks,” “The Music Box,” and “Big Business.” Hee, now you’ve put me in the mood to watch some.
