This amusing, clever short feature is a pretty good example of the way that Laurel & Hardy, at their best, could get a lot of mileage out of a few simple ideas. While many of the gags have been done before, frequently by Stan and Ollie themselves, the material works and provides good laughs thanks to their expert timing, funny mannerisms, and creative use of props. The wild sidewalk fracas is probably the best-remembered part of "You're Darn Tootin'", but perhaps the wittiest sequence is the opening scene on the bandstand, which packs quite a few laughs into a short time. Any Laurel & Hardy fan should enjoy this one.
