★★★★ · Two Irish Brickbats walk into the bar.. · Spuzz · 2012-11-09
More odd Chinatown fun here (there's another bizarre Chinatown reel in the archive). First we have a couple of guys laughing at a sign about "irish brickbats". Then we have a bit about collapsing stairs. Hilarious! Then 2 black fellows guffaw about a "sponge that soaked up Panama Canal" DON'T STOP! Then the 2 black fellows fall for the collapsing stairs tricks! Oh you guys! Then a woman gets a hair cut? (I think?) Finally, an old chinese guy gets his long hair jokingly cut off. Just all around strangeness.
