ThatвЂ™s not meant to knock this short in any way the reciprocal retaliation, though not quite as large-scale as the ones in the silent era, is still paced very well here and you can tell they had a lot of fun making it (literally, thereвЂ™s a part where you can see Charlie Hall cracking up over the antics happening to him). What seemed to be really common in the silent era actually wasnвЂ™t utilized as much in the sound era as youвЂ™d think, so perhaps thatвЂ™s why this and TIT FOR TAT both feel so special. ItвЂ™s interesting because itвЂ™s actually been quite a while since weвЂ™ve seen one of these reciprocal retaliation endings. I mean, considering that they made a sequel, youвЂ™d expect that to be the case anyway. I also love the timing when Stan finally makes Ollie's tune a call and response bit, climaxing in a perfectly timed bonk on the head from Ollie.ДЄ must see short, so good they made a sequel. Hall, you can throw that lighted match on my gasoline doused ass, who am I to stop you?' What's also great is that after all that drinking, Stan and Ollie are still too dumb to realize there's liquor in that well, and Ollie jumps right in, giving us a sight gag for the ages.ДЄlso love the tension in the middle where Ollie keeps singing that song, slowly killing time as they inch there way towards that liquored up water with 'iron.' I never noticed this before, but pay close attention to the roundabout way Stan pours the coffee, good stuff. These men are so interested in a battle of wits they don't care what physical harm comes to them, you have to wait your turn to have your say. Just the sight of Charlie Hall with a plunger on his forehead, tarred and feathered, is a comic image for the ages. The reciprocal retaliation scene is beyond hysterical. This short just flat out rules, from Stan's stupidity, (too much high living = must move to the basement, the mountains are up in the multitudes - eat your heart out Leo Gorcey, paying money for that rented trailer is less than nothing), to Billy Gilbert's subtle door knob turn that never was, to Stan carrying Ollie, to Ollie driving a car with his foot in a cast that somehow goes past the passenger side, to a reciprocal retaliation scene for the ages, to a drunk Mae Busch looking funny in Stan's hat, to me not knowing when to finish a run on sentence, I just love this short.

One of my absolute favorite Laurel and Hardy films and you know what, depending on what day of the week it is, if you combine it with its sequel, perhaps my favorite.
