Laurel and Hardy

[OwlHoot]

Oops, mine's only 21 DVDs. Looking closer it's the Laurel & Hardy Collection not Complete Collection. So there's around 180 DVDs ...

I just checked my box, and it seems I was exaggerating slightly. In fact my complete collection is 21 DVDs too.

He did come out with a lot of crap as he got older, but in amongst that he still had his moments.

And his war memoirs were funny.

Don't think they'd be able to broadcast the Pakistani Daleks anymore somehow

One of my favourite jokes is his. These days I guess it would be considered racist but I'm Jewish so wtf here goes:

Q: Why did Hymey Cohen fit double glazing?

A: So that the kids couldn't hear the ice cream van.

Me too - I bought a 200-DVD Laurel and Hardy collection at a ridiculous knock-down price of about £20 when Virgin Megastores were closing its High St Kensington branch (and all their others in the UK and US I believe) early last year.

Looks like Amazon are wondering just how complete the collection is too:

Amazon.co.uk: Laurel & Hardy - The Collection (21-disc Box Set) [DVD]: Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Clifton Webb, Judith Anderson, Adrien Brody: Film & TV

Never seen that before on Amazon. I reckon I'm not the first to think it was the complete collection.

Must say I never found Spike Milligan the slightest bit funny. He always looked so sad, and it was obvious he had mental issues.

Laurel and Hardy along with Charlie Chaplin were black listed as communist sympathises

Surprising really, considering how much Chaplin looked like Hitler. You never used to see them together.

I preferred Harold Lloyd.

They never repeat 'It aint half hot mum' either, shame, Battery Sgt Mjr Williams reminds me of my dear old granddad.

There's lovely.

FTFY

I've got the complete collection on DVD.

Though haven't checked if it's a censored version like they've done to Tom and Jerry and Only Fools and Horses.

Always used to love watching these as a kid over the Christmas period.

BBC doesn't seem to show 'em any more. Too un-pc or not youth oriented enough I guess.

So I've downloaded some. Tonight's offering was Blockheads. Just so so funny. Timeless humour - tears running down my cheeks.

James Finlayson in fine form too.
