these guys were to legends that will live on forever, I went to see Stan Laurels grave in Los Angeles last year, I drove into Forest Lawn and thought there is no way I would ever find in here,I parked up walked a little turned a corner and there it was, it felt so sad that we had lost such a fantastic guy.

The movie where Stan does, earsie, kneesie, nosie is Fra Diavolo. Ollie tries to do it, but of course, fails. Stan repeated this trick in Babes in Toyland, and got rapped in the knuckles with a stick by Ollie.

Hi, in which film does Laurel get sucked down the plug hole of the bath at the end? Have been trying to find out for years! Thank you

That would be "Come Clean", a 1931 sound short. While spending a night at home with the wives, Laurel & Hardy go out for some ice cream. They spot Mae Busch committing suicide and rescue her from the river. She turns out to be a nut case, and follows the boys back into their apartment building. Not wanting to explain to their wives why they brought a strange woman back ( even after Oliver suggests they "come clean" and tell their wives exactly what happened ) they end up hiding Mae in the bedroom. While Oliver attempts to convince her to leave, Laurel keeps the wives occupied by telling them a story ( which turns out to be the popular dirty joke about the farmer, his daughter and a traveling salesman. We only hear the ending of the joke when the farmer shoots the salesman and the shocked reaction of the wives. ) The wives become suspicious and Stan hides Mae in the bathroom while Oliver tries to keep them out by claiming Stan is taking a bath. Hearing this Stan immediately fills the tub and gets in with his clothing still on. The police show up and arrest Mae, who happens to be a wanted felon with a bounty on her head. The police inform Stan that he is entitled to an award, and when he does not offer to share it, Oliver pulls the plug out of the tub. When the wives return Oliver informs them that Stan "has gone to the beach"

I Adore this Clean Humor. Laurel & Hardy are Still the Best Comedians Ever. Wish They Were Still Here to Clean Up the Movies.
