Laurel And Hardy In Bed - Leave 'em Laughing

The bed scene from Laurel and Hardy's Leave 'em Laughing (1928) is one of the film’s most iconic sequences, filled with their signature slapstick humour and chaotic absurdity. The scene begins after both Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy take a strong dose of laughing gas at the dentist's office, leaving them in a giddy, uncontrollable state. As they arrive back at their boarding house, the two struggle to make it to bed, with their laughter causing continuous mishaps.

Once in the room, Hardy attempts to get comfortable in bed, but every small task becomes a major ordeal due to their constant giggling. The simplest actions, such as undressing or fluffing pillows, are complicated by their inability to stop laughing. Hardy, the larger and more serious of the two, struggles to maintain his dignity as Laurel’s laughter infects him further. His attempts to scold Laurel only result in more laughter, building the frustration and hilarity.

The real chaos begins when Hardy climbs into bed and the mattress collapses under his weight. This sends both men tumbling, which only amplifies their laughter. The bed itself becomes a source of comedy as they continuously try to fix the mattress and adjust themselves, but every effort leads to more failure. Their clumsiness turns an ordinary bedtime routine into a disaster, with Hardy repeatedly falling out of bed and Laurel unable to stop laughing long enough to help him.

The scene showcases Laurel and Hardy's brilliant physical comedy and timing. The humour is exaggerated but relatable, drawing from everyday frustrations and turning them into slapstick gold. As the laughter spreads beyond their control, it encapsulates their comedic dynamic perfectly: Hardy, the pompous, frustrated figure, constantly undone by the carefree, childlike Laurel, resulting in escalating chaos. It’s a classic example of how they turn the mundane into a hilariously frustrating ordeal.
