Synopsis

The Laurel & Hardy Moving Co. have a challenging job on their hands (and backs): hauling a player piano up a monumental flight of stairs to Prof. von Schwarzenhoffen’s house. Their task is complicated by a sassy nursemaid and, unbeknownst to them, the impatient Prof. von Schwarzenhoffen himself. But the biggest problem is the force of gravity, which repeatedly pulls the piano back down to the bottom of the stairs. Finally, the irate Professor explodes in fury to discover the “mechanical blunderbuss” in his home, not knowing it was a surprise birthday present from his wife. —IMDb

Repeated many times but never equalled, this funny short shows how genius Laurel and Hardy were at making a simple story into one gag after another.

I drove to Silverlake last year just to stand on those steps (thankfully still there) and pay my respects to L&H for the funniest short ever made.

Definitely not the funniest 30 minutes on film (27 to be exact) but comedy gold from the unspeakable duo of loafers!
