What's the one where they're trying to leave in a car to go on a holiday/vacation and they just can't get away? It contains an old man with gout too.

You know what I mean!
Of course I know what you meant. I wasn't implying that I didn't.I was just setting the record straight for the benefit of others - who might want to look it up.
For some odd reason (I think because a Radio 1 DJ took to playing it as a kind of joke), the song did really well in the charts in 1975 and made it all the way to No.2
I think they most certainly were stars of their era. Both had had reasonable success appearing in silent "shorts" before they teamed up.
Their getting together coincided with the transition to sound movies and they were one of the few from the silent era to make this transition successfully.
In fact, MOST of the silent comedy stars just didn't survive into the sound era at all - stars such as Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton and, most significantly, Charlie Chaplin.
Laurel and Hardy showed that their comedic skills transcended the ability to prat fall or kick somebody's bottom (which seemed to constitute a lot of Chaplin's antics).
