Some humour dates and some doesn't. I've seen so little of the work of the 3 Stooges that I couldn't tell you whether they were rubbish or not. The Marx brothers, on the other hand, leave me cold, but that bit in Laurel & Hardy films where Stan Laurel's face crumples and he either bursts into tears, or looks like he's about to, is just ... priceless ... and wonderful - and cracks me up every time!
