I watch Laurel & Hardy every day. Even if only for a few minutes.

By the way, here's a clip to show you why I get a kick out of those guys -

@rinkydinkydoink Funny guys. Did you know Oliver Hardy was from the state of Georgia? As a Georgian, I was surprised.

Yes. You can hear Ollie's accent with certain words. You can hear Stan's English accent as well.
Even though most - if not all - of the gags and bits of work were Stan's, Ollie is the one I can't take my eyes off. He is the funnier guy.

You must have watched The Honeymooners. Do you think Ralph and Norton are modeled after Ollie and Stan?

@rinkydinkydoink I never thought about it. Certainly a similar relationship.

About Hardy's accent - it finally hit me a moment ago which single word struck me as sounding odd to my ear. Listen to the way Ollie says the word "nuts"

@rinkydinkydoink Thanks. I needed a laugh, even though I knew what was coming.

@exexec

But is that his accent? His Georgia accent? You would know better than me.

The whole short movie is a hoot - especially when Billy Gilbert goes flying out the window... LOLOL
