Hi, Revolting Cat:
I’ve always preferred Harold Lloyd’s physical humor to the too often telegraphed antics of Laurel & Hardy. Lloyd did all of his stunts with only one good hand and you never really knew where or when the punch line would show up.
Very much like Keaton. Who mas a master of comedic timing.

Different types of craziness. I never cared much for the Marx Brothers, for example. Too clever by half, too much of the time.
Early Chaplin was the best, before he got sentimental he was cruel and hilarious, as in ‘Behind the Screen’ (the two screen shots above.)
