Charlie Chaplin

The Story of Slapstick charts the history of the world's most popular comedy genre. Whether you're three or 53 we all seem to love physical humour. It doesn't matter if they're slapped, banged or walloped, there's a simple glee in the misfortune of others. In this short clip a performer you may have heard of called Charlie Chaplin demonstrates how one of the best ways to get a laugh out of physical comedy is to stick it to the man. Good slapstick often sees the authority figure get a boot up the backside and this charmer from London was happy to provide. Yep...the little guy always wins!
