I'm sure there must be tons of folks here into the old slaptick comedy shorts that came out in the 30's and 40's. The ones that standout best in my mind would be the comedy duo Laurel and Hardy
And then, of course, The Three Stooges
Not really much slapstick, but equally funny was Abbott and Costello
Anyone else guffaw a bit to this or others from this time period???

The Marx Brothers
Buster Keaton
Jacques Tati
Benny Hill
Rowan Atkinson

My absolute slapstick GOD:
And obviosuly these guys:
Never really watched the old stuff from the 30s/40s but I`ve heard it`s really good. Especially the Chaplin stuff is supposed to be superb.

I'm a big fan of The Three Stooges, The Marx Brothers, Abbott & Costello and Benny Hill. I also love The Little Rascals but I don't think that'd be considered slapstick.
