Breakfast scene from The Kid Brother (Harold Lloyd), and...
Posted by Audiophilander on April 2, 2008 at 22:25:21:
... the magician's tuxedo scene from The Freshman (also Harold Lloyd). Note: More laughs than guilt, but since I don't care much for over-the-top bathroom humor (which extends to the puppet sex scene in Team America) that unfortunately excludes a lot of contemporary comedies. I prefer subtle repartee to gutter humor. Is that a guilt-free diet? ;O)
I suppose the guiltiest humor I laugh at would be found in the Paramount Marx Brothers comedies (mostly for Groucho's tongue & cheek innuendos), although W.C. Fields and Will Rogers can't be ignored. Of the great female comedians I like Mary Pickford's situational reactions in My Best Girl, the ironic humor of Marion Davies in Quality Street and her clever impressions in Show People, and Beatrice Lilly's perfectly timed reactions & hysterical role reversals in Exit Smiling.
Cheers,
