Personally, I've always been a fan of the Marx Brothers. Them and Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, Laurel & Hardy... Frankly, the Stooges always stood alongside the over-rated likes of Chaplin and Abbott & Costello in my books.
However, with the advent of the internet, even laboured slapstick schtick like theirs can be made funny, all with the simple addition of sound effects (admittedly, almost everything can be made funnier with the use of these sound effects).
I might be 35, going on 36, but this had me and the boys, not to mention Bex in tears. I defy any of you not to laugh at least once.
So simple and yet so fundamentally funny to anyone with a child inside them.
Who said computers can't be educational?
P.S. Don't even ask me how I came across this on You Tube. It was for the boys. Honest!
Chaplin is much better when you know a bit about him. He sent a telegram of congratulations to the Central Committee of the Boshevik Party on the occasion of the Russian revolution in Oct 1917. Most of his stuff is V political in one way or another. He was enough of a bthreat to the White House for them to rescind his passport as soon as he left the States so he couldn't return. So there. And he didn't even have any fart sound effects to help!! And yes the clips areo v funny and I don't beleive you were looking up farts on you tube for the boys!
