Hey, don't sell Laurel and Hardy short. Haven't you ever seen cuts from their "Spanish Language" Movies, Made for Mexican and South American Audiences. Furthermore, it was really them speaking Spanish, they were quite fluent. You haven't lived until you've seen and heard Oliver Hardy say, "This is a fine Kettle of Fish" or Stan Laurell saying, "That's a good idea, Ollie!", IN , EXCELLENTLY PRONOUNCED SPANISH. How about Rowan and Martin, who did a lot of Burns and Allen "shtick". and then there's "Moran and Mack", who you might or might not consider, "Racist". And "Uncle Dave Macon" and "Browny McGee"
