I certainly do, and there are several very good clips on You tube, which I've downloaded and sent to friends, including such classics as 'Lonesome Pine'. .,I tried entering the web address for it but it is not working for some reason.

I DO!!
I was just saying that a few days ago when they appeared on a re-run of The West Wing (they didn't appear on the show of course, the President was watching one of their movies).
I don't think they are just the best duo, but the best comedy team of all time!

Absolutely, the dance in front of the saloon in Way out West was entirely improvised by Stan, and Babe never missed a step.

I think they were great, certainly made me laugh, every time I saw them,But we have to put them in perspective of the time they hit the headlines with their style of comedy.
Would our young people think that comparing with the top comedy to-day,?
The beauty of the style was, that no where, was there any type of obscenity,can we say that about some of our so called comedians today with some, it has become the norm to use profanity as part of the act,or mocking other people who are not in the position of defending themselves, to me that,s not comedy, it is arrogant, and, pathetic

At least I know that they were before my time, but I can always let the kids watch without having to worry about transmitted filthy language.
Bob Hope was good, at least he was a patriot to his 2 countries. He even toured war zones during hostilities.

Me, I do!
The amazing thing is that their contemporaries, like Chaplin and Keaton, barely make me smile. I can appreciate, for example, Chaplin's art and Keaton's cleverness, but they are just not funny, but the minute the boys walk on screen I start cracking up!
BTW, have you seen 'Stan'?

They are one among the so many comedy pairs. But, Charlie Chaplin is still the best ever comedian.

They've certainly stood the test of time. I laughed at them as a kid and still do. Still love the piano sketch and lost count of how many times I've seen it.
