Although I get a kick out of the parents passing the love note back and forth through the knothole, I'd have to say that my favorite moment is when Buster just scampers up the wall like a squirrel to his girl's window. What an amazing athlete! He could have been an Olympic track and field star or gymnast. Fortunately for us he made these movies instead.
sharei liked when he sliid across that wire...into his house down the steps back out a window and across again.....also the human stacker was pretty impressive. The Ending was anti-climactic though.

I loved those two, going across the clothesline, in the window, down the banister, out that window, back across the clothes line and knocking down her father. And then Buster and the Flying Escalantes on each other's shoulders walking back and forth from one house to the other, that was just TERRIFIC!

I really liked when he couldn't get his pants to stay on at the wedding, and finally everyone had to sit on the floor.
But of COURSE, the best thing in the whole film lasts only a few seconds. Buster is running from a cop when at a corner he passes another cop, so he stops running and launches into this comic little dance. The cop watches for a second or two before deciding this character definitely needs to be taken in and grabs him by the neck. What takes less time to show than to tell is brilliant and draws a HUGE laugh.
and then he tries to get away by crawling alongside the fence and the cop STEPS on him.

One of the wedding gifts is Jim Corbett's "How to Box". Cracked me up!
