Walk of Fame Movie Adventures: Sons of the Desert and William Seiter

I’ve never watched Laurel & hardy, but based on this movie, this seems to be the formula for most of their comedy:

• Ollie acts like a blowhard.
• Stan does an absurd and funny thing.
• Ollie slowly and exactly describes the thing Stan just did.
• Ollie mugs to the camera.
• Repeat.

Can you tell which one I thought was funnier?

William Seiter’s Wikipedia entry says “Seiter earned a reputation for his charming comedies that were moderately paced and kept the laughs coming quietly, rather than resorting to obvious jokes and slapstick.” He must have abandoned that for this movie.

…and now it’s time for another “you’ll only know the reference if you’re a movie poster fanatic” fake poster!
