Glad to find another slapstick fan! The older I get, the more I enjoy the simple slapstick of the silent comedians, especially Buster Keaton. Mr Bean absolutely is the modern heir to this style of comedy. A few others pop up here and there that do it. Teller of Penn and Teller sometimes really seems to be channeling Harpo.

I love the early talkie comics too. Laurel and Hardy are great. Three Stooges, Marx Brothers. I show my kids Laurel and Hardy and the Three Stooges often. When they get older I'll add the Marx Brothers in.

I'm the same way. Humor has changed so much throughout the decades, it's so much more sarcastic and snarky these days. I'm glad you're sharing this with your kids! There's a Facebook group for fans of The Three Stooges and people share some very obscure clips, pictures, and facts about them. It's super interesting!
