Opening the New Year with tried and tested Harold Lloyd comedy, which brings the best comedy intertitles. Thanks, Harry. You're a star.

Married life is like dandruff
-- it falls heavily upon
your shoulders -- you
get a lot of free advice
about it--but up to date
nothing has been found
to cure it.

Lloyd is in Hot Water after marrying his girl, which is pretty rad and radical, because most of the stuff I've seen from him, he's trying to woo her. The problems come after marriage, you see.

It starts with this shopping list given by telephone:

"- and some bird seed - and laundry soap-
and a box of matches - and a dozen eggs-
and a pound of butter - and a dozen rolls-
and a can of asparagus - and a loaf of bread-
and some lamb chops - and a bag of flour-
and two quarts of milk - and a leg of lamb-
and a can of coffee - and a nice little cake-
and some stove polish - and some bacon-

Doesn't even bother ending with a quotation, because I'm sure she's rambling on.

"--just those few
things, dear."

Poor man has to all that. How's that for 1924?

And if that's not enough, enter his relatives-in-law, including:

His mother-in-law - with
the nerve of a book
agent, the disposition
of a dyspeptic landlord, and
the heart of a traffic cop.

Cue the...
> prize turkey on a tram fiasco
> car traffic violations fiasco
> worst table manners while inebriated fiasco!
> the chloroforming your mother-in-law and being worried about murder fiasco!!

As you can see, things escalate fast in order of social sacrilege.

Ended up being one of my favourites from Lloyd I've seen. Lloyd uses a dog to lick his mother-in-law's face for a kiss. Sadly I can't find a gif for this. But know that precious Harold Lloyd is marriage material. You can marry me any day of the week, honey.
