This was part of a 3-DVD box-set, and this disc came with the Laurel and Hardy shorts Mud & Sand, Just Ramblin' Along, Oranges and Lemons, The Tree in a Test Tube and another Three Stooges one, Brideless Groom; it also came with Malice in the Palace, and the features Atoll K(or Utopia) and Flying Deuces. At least this has one decent joke(the 200% one), amongst all the brutal violence made out to look like it is excruciatingly painful, crossing the border into pure torture here and there. That is all, however. 17 minutes, and only one piece of material that isn't based on us laughing at others being hurt(because, you know, we're not the ones getting hit, jabbed, beaten, etc.). It's called "schadenfreude" in German. The act of enjoying other people's suffering. Slapstick doesn't have to be like that(I refer you to aforementioned duo), and the only thing I can come up with to explain these is that people were tense and unhappy around this time, and seeing others have it bad, or even worse, made them feel better about themselves. Yeah. Or you could, y'know, try to solve the problems, seek out the cause of your static, unsatisfying, no-light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel lives and attempt to deal with it. I recommend this solely to fans. 5/10
