Stan & Ollie Join The Legion

[@thomasjorge4734]

The French Foreign Legion is so tough that it took Ming the Merciless to command them.

[@chrisevans5259]

Love the innocence they showed in their comedy, ...their huge success was they were both so endearing,....and so so funny

[@ogpigeon4431]

Some things don’t change, they joined to forget a woman 😂😂. These two are absolutely amazing in every way. Their timing, facial expressions, mannerisms, attention to detail etc. I’ve watched this five or six times and each time picked up something funny I didn’t notice before.

[@mikedee1771]

Other comics come and go. These two are timeless.

[@marcdelente2456]

Stan et ollie sont uniques tellements drôles et si proches de nous leurs fans depuis des générations. Je les ai découvert j avai 5 ans et à 62 ans je les aiment toujours il me font tellement rires et apporte la paix a mon âme. Stan et ollie éternels et intemporels pour siecles .

[@kadiyalakmohan]

Firsttime i saw their film at the age of 10 yrs and now i am 65 yrs still the same enthusiasm to watch them on screen

[@Dustshoe]

On television you first saw them? Fifty-five years ago? In the 1960s? You probably had to watch Laurel & Hardy on a black-and-white television!

[@CyrusInIndia]

@@Dustshoe Colour Television transmission came to India in the year 1982.

[@Dustshoe]

Cyrus Loves India: 1982? Well, I knew that. Actually, I did not! I still prefer to watch L&H in black-and-white, as it so happens. It's how I know 'em!

[@CyrusInIndia]

Only Laurel & Hardy could be hilariously funny just leaving a room! I love them. Alway have, always will.

[@larry1350]

The actor who played the French Foreign Legion captain also played Ming the Merciless in the Flash Gordon movies from the same era.

[@tremorsfan]

That hat scene really shows off their silent comedy skills.

[@stephenguppy3466]

This is 90 years old and still stands the test of time, unlike most stuff that is being churned out today by the incredibly small gene pool which hogs every panel show in this country.

[@AustinGoodman-ub9fo]

The hat scene was epic! 😂😂😂

[@nathanwilliams2152]

You should see the hat scene in “The Music Box” - that was brilliantly done. Music Box is probably my favourite piece of theirs, apart from Blockheads

[@markdaly1648]

​@nathanwilliams2152 County hospital is thier masterpiece

[@andredonders]

The scene with their hats at the end: THAT was priceless!

Maureen Maynes absolute incomparable comedy genius. Never matched or surpassed in 70 years

[@Nummymuffincocobutter]

[@patrickwheeler5144]

Oliver: “Jeanie Weenie. Traveled all over the world; loved by everyone; and she’s mine, all mine!” Yes, she did travel the world and was loved - by every man out there! And no, poor Oliver, she’s not yours, all yours! ....One of my favorite films!

[@LATVERIAN1]

I love how they use that autographed picture of Jean Harlow that no man seems to be able to forget.

[@MyLateralThawts]

The running joke in the movie was that every single man had signed up to forget a woman ...the same woman!

Absolutely brilliant !

[@stevenbaer4979]

I always lmao with these hilarious guys especially Stan Laurel. In reality Stan Laurel was very smart and intelligent compared to Ollie. Stan just playing dumb, naive, and constantly crying that's what they are paid for.. I only have to say RIP Ollie and Stan Laurel you guys made the entire world laugh in extreme laughter. 😲😟😊😉😀😃😄😭😕😵😞😎✌👍👌

[@countiblis1246]

To physically defeat the Emperor Ming you need Flash Gordon, to mentally ruin him you need these two guys.

[@kevinbutler1955NYC]

Charlie Middleton..Best remembered as"Emperor Ming"in the three"Flash Gordon"movie serials..played the Legion's Commandant in "Beau Hunks" and in "The Flying Deuces"...with the boys.

[@johannesbluemink4581]

Priceless comedy. I prefer this (45 minutes, so between short and feature) over 'Flying Deuces'!

[@patrickwheeler5144]

I did like how Oliver came back as a horse and Stan came back as himself! I used this against my wife, once - and only once... she was fussing at me about something and wouldn’t quit, so I told her that is there is such a thing as reincarnation, she would come back as a horse, because she was already a nag! (She was not amused)

[@mbabist01]

Didn't know that about Charlie Middleton. Thank you for posting.

[@irenecostigane8348]

Is that Emperor Ming ? I'm 62 still remember this as a Wee Boy. Brilliant

The Commander is Charles Middleton, who was Ming the Merciless, Emperor of the Universe, in the Flash Gordon serials. Ming was one of the greatest villains in film history. Middleton was also one of the prosecutors of Chico Marx (Baravelli), in the Marx Brothers' Duck Soup.

[@aaaht3810]

Commandant,: "Joined up together eh?" Stanley: "Yes ma'am." Hilarious. Charles B. Middleton as the commandant was always great in these movies. "This is the army of forgotten souls. Men come here to accept the hardships of the desert. To be without, food, or water and laugh at it all. Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha".
