They Go Boom! (1929)
6/10
Sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Oliver's under the weather with the flu, and he's got Laurel taking care of him, so you know how that will go. Between giving him all sorts of funky non-medications (including one cotton swabbed throat relaxant that looks like a tootsie roll) , overdoing it on blowing up an air mattress and chases around the bed with Hardy just getting angrier and angrier and not any better, this is a mild early comedy short with frequent gags that manage to be amusing in this often creaky two reeler. Annoyed neighbors keep popping in to demand quiet, but that just makes the situation worse. The rising mattress is perhaps the funniest bit, with everything going wrong that can go wrong.
