If you're easily influenced by infectious laughter you could be rolling on the floor by the time this one's over. When Stan goes into his laughing fit he's uncontrollable, and it eventually spills over to affect his buddy Ollie. However the whole premise of the boys going 'blotto' as the title suggests, is all in the mind, as the concoction Stan's wife (Anita Gavin) prepares for them is intended to teach them a terrible lesson rather than get them tipsy. Speaking of which, I couldn't help but notice that one of the ingredients going into the harmless tea potion came from a can of Colman's Mustard. The can hasn't changed appearance in eighty five years!! Talk about longevity.
The only distracting thing about this film short turns out to be the couple sitting at a table directly behind Stan and Ollie at the speakeasy. They watch the boys devolve into hysterics and aren't affected in the least bit. You would think they'd at least crack a smile.
