Frank Skinner once admitted that new girlfriends were always “subjected to the Laurel and Hardy test”, when he would play a video of the Laurel and Hardy dance sequence from Way Out West. “If she didn’t laugh, I instantly wrote her off as a future companion,” said Skinner, conceding that this wasn’t exactly rational behaviour.
Reminds me a bit of the movie “Diner” in which a potential spouse was given a test about the Balitmore Colts, to see if she had enough knowledge about the Colts to marry her man.
Don’t we all do something like this? I think every girl I dated, including the one I married, had some basic knowledge and was a fan of baseball. Just saying, not sure how things would go if she didn’t share a major interest...............

I always preferred the door test from, “A Bronx Tale” but that would never work with modern automobiles.
