YMMV / Men in Black (1934)

• Diagnosed by the Audience: The psychiatric patient who rambles loudly about Hamlet and canaries.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • A deranged hospital patient (played by Billy Gilbert) claims to see "great big giant green CANARIES!" . About two decades later, "Cuckoo on a Choo-Choo" is released and guess what a hallucinating Shemp is in love with?
  • Come 1997, Columbia releases a film sharing the same name as this short.
• Parody Displacement: Modern viewers are more likely know more about this short than the film and play it parodied.
