I work with teenagers daily and from my experience, if it happened more than 5 years ago, they may have heard of it, if it happened before they were born, they are totally clueless

@MartikaDuponte1 @MartikaDuponte1 It is sad, Martika, but the truly sad part is they have no desire to know

Weren’t the popular like in the 40’s?

@DayDreaming2 30’s and 40’s, yes....and reruns on uk tv when I was younger....

As streaming content and other forms of entertainment/information is a available common touch points sucj as Laurel and Hardy are forgotten or not know. My wife had a show on and I had no idea why about 75% of the people were celebrities or what their area was

Yeah, but maybe only because some people in the family are big fans.

@MartikaDuponte1 Haha! Second offer of SW marriage in the space of about a week. I'm blessed!

I just don't think Charlie Chaplin is funny. Is he trying to be? With Laurel and Hardy, it's clearly very funny. x

@jomsim Lol!

Chaplin just wasn’t.....funny! L & H had me snorting milk through my nose at times.....
