Laurel & Hardy, Laughs above the rest.

Advantages: Funny, clean humour that stands the test of time.
Disadvantages: Absolutely none!

...it where it belongs. Laurel & Hardy despite their lack of the above mentioned "humour" have managed to do something that only modern comedians can dream about. They kept the world laughing consistently for years and have continued to do so 60 years after their deaths. I don't know any modern "great" that I'd remember and still be talking about in a year if he disappeared today. There is one exception and I just did a review on that yesterday, but ...
...a nice box with the Laurel & Hardy logo and a pic of the happy two on the top & sides. Opening the box you are presented with a row of real DVD disc boxes, not the usual cardboard or pocket type rubbish. Each disc spine has the part of a picture that makes up the duo's bowler hats when stacked together. The discs are numbered 1-21 with the last one having a title "A special tribute to the boys" along with other comedy shorts. Please note that the ...

remember not to tell luke that his father is darth vader

Advantages: is very funny, actually adapts very well to the story line of the film, can be very entertaining
Disadvantages: is a bit overpriced at some places, not for those easily offended

...it is essentially an extended episode, and at the prices it is availiable at some stores like tesco, an utter rip off. this is definately also not for the children or easily offended, but definately worth purchasing at the right price for fans of both star wars and family guy ...

...programs as Freaky eaters, which Harry did make into a weekly sketch show for a while. There are many little sketches which Harry prides himself on using in each show, such as… *TV highlight of the week…which looks at a snippet of television programming which is seen as a 'highlight', although it is usually something so dull and boring it is totally laughable.

During his little 'explore' he almost gets squatted by a guy but a very nice woman saves him. Now being the kind cap that he is, he doesn't want to leave without saying thank you. This is the start of a strange but sweet relationship between Barry the bee ...
...stealing the honey the bees make and with the help of Melanie they set out to sue the human race. The thing about this animation is there is a lot of funny lines sprouting out every second which really gets you laughing. It does tend to go over Noah's head and he catches the more obvious funny bits but there are definitely a lot of parts thrown in there purely for the adults who get dragged along to see it with their brood. I love the fact that the ...
