Hardboiled Eggs and Nuts
In the 1932 Laurel and Hardy short film, County Hospital, Oliver Hardy is in the hospital with a broken leg. “It’s the first vacation I’ve had in years,” he says. His friend Stan Laurel visits and brings him hardboiled eggs and nuts in a paper bag. “Hardboiled eggs and nuts!” Ollie says disgustedly. In the mishaps that follow, Stan gets Ollie ejected from the hospital. Stan gets an accidental injection of a sleep-inducing drug, after which it’s up to him to drive Ollie home in the old Model T Ford in 1932 Los Angeles traffic.
Their First Mistake
Their First Mistake (1932)
In the comedy short Their First Mistake (1932), Ollie’s nagging wife is jealous of Ollie’s friendship with Stan, so she leaves. Stan and Ollie think that adopting a baby will get her to return, but after they get the baby home (and the wife still nowhere in sight) they don’t have a clue about how to take care of him. He won’t stop crying and the neighbors are complaining. When Stan is going to go home and leave Ollie alone to take care of the baby, there is a very funny exchange between the two of them.
