Remember to subscribe and thanks for supporting the sharing the work of the genius comedians, here are some scenes of Oliver Hardys Catchphrase: The catchphrase most used by Laurel and Hardy on film is: "Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into!"
The phrase was earlier used by W. S. Gilbert in both The Mikado from 1885 and The Grand Duke from 1896. It was first used by Hardy in The Laurel-Hardy Murder Case in 1930. In popular culture the catchphrase is often misquoted as "Well, here's another fine mess you've gotten me into." The misquoted version of the phrase was never used by Hardy and the misunderstanding stems from the title of their film Another Fine Mess.
Numerous variations of the quote appeared on film. For example, in Chickens Come Home Ollie says impatiently to Stan "Well. ... " with Stan replying, "Here's another nice mess I've gotten you into." The films Thicker than Water and The Fixer-Uppers use the phrase "Well, here's another nice kettle of fish you pickled me in!" In Saps at Sea the phrase becomes "Well, here's another nice bucket of suds you've gotten me into!" The catchphrase is used in its original form in the duo's 1951 film Atoll K, where it fittingly serves as the final line of dialogue in what is the final Laurel and Hardy film. Most times, after Hardy said that phrase, Laurel would start to cry exclaiming "Well, I couldn't help it..." and begin to whimper while speaking with none of his words being able to be understood.
Another regular catchphrase, cried out by Ollie in moments of distress or frustration, as Stan stands helplessly by, is "Why don't you do something to help me?"
"D'oh!" is a catchphrase used by the mustachioed Scottish actor James Finlayson who appeared in 33 Laurel and Hardy films. The phrase, expressing surprise, impatience, or incredulity, was the inspiration for "D'oh!" as spoken by the actor Dan Castellaneta portraying the character Homer Simpson in the long-running animated comedy The Simpsons. Homer's first intentional use of "d'oh!" occurred in the Ullman short "Punching Bag" (1988). In Laurel and Hardy's first sound film, Unaccustomed As We Are, Hardy uses the expression when his character's wife smashes a record over his head.[
