The Boys Pick Up A Couple Of Girls

They are sailor's out looking for a good time with two young lovelies. Stan and Ollie are out to impress, they intend to buy drinks (in a soda fountain) for everyone, but Stan only has 15 cents, enough for 3 sodas. Sodas were 5 cents in 1929! Here is Jimmy Finlayson doing several of his patented "double-take and squint' looks.

[@chrisevans5259]

Testament to their timeless comedy genius , is the fact people , some 100years later still find them hilariously funny ..... young or the old .....without doubt, the finest comedy duo there's ever been......

[@paulsmith109]

I totally `grasped the situation` that this scene is absolute perfection. Two comedy geniuses who totally eclipse anybody from the modern age. Timing, grace, humility, and a wonderful sense of innocence permeate through this sketch from start to finish.

[@keithrich8373]

So very true

[@keithrich8373]

Perfectly put

[@keithrich8373]

Well put they will never be bettered

[@colingeddes2172]

Never in my lifetime or my grandchildrens. Stan & ollie, simply the greatest.

[@NewFutureFantasy]

A perfect description.

[@Anvanho]

1:34 Geez! Finlayson's wonderful eye squint! One of the great most memorable facial quirks in the history of comedy!

[@Standing_on_the_word]

My half was at the bottom. Lol 🤣🤣😂😂🇬🇧🇺🇸 loved them they were the best comedy duo in history and they'll never be another like them. ❤❤❤😁😊

[@dariowiter3078]

Absolutely. Stan & Ollie are, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the greatest comedy team of all time. 🎬📽️🎞️🎥🎦 🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭 😁😁😁😁😁

[@blackbuck1000]

The future can b full of surprises, mayb in a 100 or 200 years from now, a new partnership could appear

[@HarveyLMiller21]

Years later Abbott and Costello copied the idea behind this scene. I think, for them, it was a sandwich.

[@keithrich8373]

This is probably my favourite of all their shorts.From start to finish it's a comedy masterpiece.If you watched it every day for a year you'd still crack up

[@jamesmorris4258]

Brats and Laughing Gravy absolutely kill me too.

[@genesis1765]

One of the greatest sketches of comedy ever. Its magic. God bless you both

[@dariowiter3078]

They certainly are! So are Stan's expressions and gestures! 😀

[@ArthurAlfred1]

Stan was so cute the way he acted! And Ollie always used much more patience with him!

[@lowellthomasjr.468]

Jimmy Finlayson (the bartender) was also hilarious ! LOL

The person behind the counter of a ice cream parlor is called a "soda jerk," not "bartender."

[@deanwille1919]

Lowell Thomas, Jr. yes he was with that look

[@georgiethumbs2438]

He played the guy who calls up Spanky in the little Rascals. "Hello, who is this?" "I don't know, I can't see ya"

[@edwardswebster8751]

He appeared in many laurel and hardy films

[@keithrich8373]

It's so hard to improve on perfection. Words are inadequate to say how utterly brilliant this short is. They will live on as the best of the best. I bless the day they met😂😂❤️♥️

"My half was on the bottom!" - Classic. This is without doubt one of the funniest scenes in the history of film. So beautifully understated. Much better than any of the crap that passes for comedy these days. Stan and Ollie were worth 10 billion Seth MacFarlanes.

[@vantheman1234]

animfan98 Laurel and Hardy were true greats. Genius. The best ever. However, little unfair on Seth. Seth MacFarlane is very good. Not fair to put him down because he’s not a genius.

[@keithmaxine2755]

@@vantheman1234 just putting appropriate context. these will be remebered in a thousand years.😅

[@annepurcell4495]

Also, Seth MacFarlane is a very crass and cruel person, whereas Laurel and Hardy didn't have to resort to using sexually explicit material to get laughs AND they were universally regarded as nothing but kind, sweet, loving people.
