Laurel and Hardy - the drinking scene from Fra Diavolo
I remember seeing this scene when I was very young, and for years considered it the funniest comedy sketch ever made; it's a bit dated now, but still classic. From their 1933 Hal Roach movie Fra Diavolo (The Devil's Brother), which also includes the "Earsie-kneesie-nosie" routine. For scenes like the above to be appreciated, they need to be viewed with a large audience, where the "infectious" effect of watching someone laugh (beginning about the 5:00 mark) can spread through a crowd.
