10/10
D'Oh!
8 December 2020
Laurel and hardy are two sailors on leave who pick up a couple of dumb girls. How dumb are they? Well, they're going out with the Boys, aren't they?

This is the third sound short they made, and although the centerpiece is the soda routine, there are an awful lot of reaction shots of James Finlayson. This is a landmark short, n that it seems to be the first time Finn ever said "D'oh!".... which might be interest to all you Simpsons fanw/ Homer's use of it is based on Finlayson's. There are a lot of takes of Finn, because the theater audiences would be spending too much time laughing at the antics.
