History Funny / LaurelAndHardy

* In ''Chickens Come Home'', Stan preempts Oliver's [[NeverMyFault catch phrase]].
-->'''Oliver''': Well...

-->'''Stan''': Here's another nice mess I got you into. ''(grin)''

* The "[[ReallyGetsAround Jeanie-Weenie]]" running gag in ''Beau Hunks'', particularly where even the leader of the invading force has a photo of her. Even funnier is that ''every single man'', from the new recruits up to the General is in the French Foreign Legion because of her jilting them.

* In ''Pack Up Your Troubles'', there's the escalation of reactions to the boys' attempts to find the parents of their fallen war buddy Eddie Smith so they can unite them with Eddie's daughter (with the name "Smith" all they have to go on). The first Smith they visit is clearly not Eddie's father (he's black, Eddie was white), but politely accepts Ollie's apology for the mix-up. The next man is a boxer who thinks the boys are trying to blackmail him, and pops them both in the nose. And the third...hasn't lived in the house listed in the address book for years, but the family currently living there just happens to be holding a wedding that day, with the patriarch's daughter marrying a man named [[BreakingTheOneSteveLimit Eddie]]...and the boys show up claiming to have "Eddie's baby"...

[[HilarityEnsues After the situation is cleared up]] (and the boys have fled the rifle-wielding father-of-the-bride), Ollie firmly declares that they will be ''telephoning'' prospective Smiths from now on.

** And ''then'' everyone has to stop chasing them because a train pushes them all away.
* ''Film/BigBusiness''. The whole damn thing.

* In ''Way Out West'', Stanley vows if they don't succeed in their task "I'll eat your hat!" When they don't succeed, Ollie makes him stick to his word. Initially whimpering in distaste at the deed, Stanley's lapsed into blank-faced contentment by the third bite of his meal. Ollie snatches his hat back before it's completely gone, but takes a curious bite himself.

* ''Film/BigBusiness''. The whole damn thing.

* ''Big Business''. The whole damn thing.

* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlIXByXcUHw The Battle of the Century]]:'' The entire pie fight. Which also doubles as an EscalatingWar.
* In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ_JZBCkqvA Two Tars]]'', the second half of the film, with all the CarFu and vehicle wrecking. Plus, there's the end where it shows the aftermath-one car is impaled on the back of a lorry carrying a very long log and another one is driving ''upside down.''

** And ''then'' everyone has to stop chasing them because a train pushes them all away.

* In ''[[Film/TheMusicBox The Music Box]]'' they spend the first half of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vfeb0tSj5mA film]] getting a piano up a rather large flight of stairs. When they finally reach the top, [[NowYouTellMe a postman tells them they could have just gone around and up a nearby hill]]. So what do they do? ''[[WhatAnIdiot They take the piano all the way back down and go round]]''.

** Stan's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDrYVzb5KAU magic lighter]]".
* In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvxEytUO1pU Block Heads]]'', Ollie invites old war buddy Stanley to his home. Before long, Stanley's destroyed Ollie's car, the wife has left in a huff, and the apartment is destroyed. Ollie tries using the phone, unaware the line's been severed, and after a long conversation realizes he's been talking to Stanley...Ollie chuckles merrily, then ''[[DisproportionateRetribution throttles]]'' him.
* In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f71uofzVn_8 Blotto]]'', the entire phone conversation between Laurel and Hardy while Laurel's wife is in the same room. Laurel hangs up twice on Hardy, Hardy keeps trying to find Laurel's number in a phone book, and the slapstick during the third time they're talking. Also including the duo's reactions to the liquor (which was really cold tea with tabasco and various substances Laurel's wife put in), Laurel randomly bursting into loud tears while someone sings, and the last several minutes from the two laughing hysterically to them being chased by Laurel's wife, who is wielding a shotgun.
* The "[[ReallyGetsAround Jeanie-Weenie]]" running gag in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnLrLyPIWyE Beau Hunks]]'', particularly where even the leader of the invading force has a photo of her. Even funnier is that ''every single man'', from the new recruits up to the General is in the French Foreign Legion because of her jilting them.

* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmKM1clRzE4 Helpmates]]'' is wall-to-wall hilarity.

* "Helpmates"

* In ''Them Thar Hills'', local moonshiners dump their brew into the well during a heavy gunfight. Stan and Ollie later get water from said well, and when Stan finds the alcohol-infused water "funny", Ollie simply says that it's the "natural iron" in the water.

** The crazy car chase at the end, where the policeman orders everyone to follow the boys, and his [[EpicFail miserable attempts]] to commandeer a car after his bike gets run over.

* In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ_JZBCkqvA Two Tars]]'', the second half of the film, with all the CarFu and vehicle wrecking. Plus, there's the end where it shows the aftermath-one car is impaled on the back of a lorry carrying a very long log and another one is driving ''upside down.''
