Hi,
Very good point.
Slap-Stick comedy has (to me) seemed to be considered low class comedy. (I have to climb up to get that low class
)
That was a Laurel & Hardy comedy. It was also used in the 1960's TV Gilligan's Island. It was also used in the Warner Brothers Looney Toons Bugs Bunny-Daffy Duck-etc cartoons that many of the 1960&70 era people called too violent.
I liked Charlie Chaplen much better than Laurel and Hardy - both slap stick.
I loved it whan George Burns and Bob Hope would get together and do a short few minute Vaudeville recreation.
But isn't recreation what we do with operating steam locos?
