The shorts seem gentler without sound - you

The shorts seem gentler without sound - you don't hear Ollie's cries of distress as he steps on a drawing pin for the second time - the violence funnier: take Stan's instinctive reactions, which ensure anyone who takes a pop at him gets a fist right back in the maw, and later that an unwitting dentist receives a knee to the b******s. And the interpersonal business is unfailingly sweet: Ollie carrying Stan and putting him to bed, and the pair of them high on laughing gas - united against the world, even when, in a final gag recycled in "Perfect Day" twelve months later, they found themselves up to their necks in s**t.

A Laurel & Hardy laugh fest.

This movie certainly does justice to its title.It takes a while for the movie to take shape and pace, after all, this is one of the earliest Laurel & Hardy movies, from the period when they obviously were still searching for the right style. However after the movie its slow ending the movie really starts to take pace and become interesting from the moment the two boys are at the dentist. The movie becomes a good old fashioned laugh fest from that point on.The bits at the dentist were already great but the movie gets even better in the ending, when the boys are extremely high from the laughing gas they got exposed to at the dentist. They get into trouble with the police officer played by Edgar Kennedy, who tries to control the traffic but of course the seriously high boys keep messing things and traffic up with their car.The movie consists out of some great slapstick moments and some hilarious comical situations. Also the very last scene is one to remember, also because of the fact that it's so totally random. It makes it all the more hilarious.All in all this is a surprisingly good and entertaining Laurel & Hardy silent comedy short, especially when considering that this movie was from their begin-period.8/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Laurel & Hardy's Leave 'Em Laughing nearly completely lives up to title

This was another Laurel & Hardy short I watched on Hulu as linked from IMDb. In this one, Stanley has a toothache that's bothering bed mate Ollie so he tries various ways to get rid of it to no results. So they go to the dentist but this one is not the best in health care since the patients keep running away! I'll stop there and just say that this was quite funny almost to the end but when the laughing gas effect comes in and they run into cop Edgar Kennedy, the scene is maybe milked a little too long but it at least leads to a hilarious ending. Oh, and Charlie Hall also has a good bit as the landlord. So on that note, Leave 'Em Laughing mostly lives up to its title.
