One of the funniest sound effects you'll ever hear occurs in this priceless early 'talkie' from Laurel and Hardy. Pin your ears back when Stan literally "throws out the clutch" from that passenger-hating car, and Ollie responds by clobbering him with it. That, and the constant abuse dished out to grumpy Uncle Edgar's gouty foot, the childish sandwich-throwing, the irritating little dog and the brick-throwing neighbour crack me up every time. And it's still quite amazing to hear Edgar Kennedy suddenly muttering "Oh, s**t!" just before the arrival of the parson - how did nobody (least of all the censors) notice this back in the 'twenties?

Vintage Laurel and Hardy slapstick. It doesn't get much better than this.
