Do Me a Favor (1922) watch online HD

Snub is enjoying a quiet night's sleep on a park bench, despite the efforts of Mark Jones, a cop who uses his truncheon on bums' heads like a xylophone. Up rushes Marie Mosquini. Her husband -- she's not married to Snub in this one, which must have been a welcome relief -- his been drunk on hair tonic for days. She asks Snub to come home and help her with the spouse. Snub agrees and the two of them try to deal with Eddie Baker in this fine one-reel comedy.

It's directed by Charley Chase, which means it offers a fine assortment of gags. Pollard seems to have devised his Roach comedies like Tarrantino writes movie scripts; however, where Tarantino takes a perfect shot (usually stolen from another movie) and builds his script to get from one to the next, Snub took a series of gags and then wrote bits to connect them. Some very funny titles are in evidence. I believe they were written by H.M. Walker.

The print that appears on Undercrank Production's FOUND AT MOSTLY LOST vol.2 lacks the final punchline. Gte together with your friends to write it yourself!
