Funniest part?

What would you say is the funniest part of this short?

One of my favorites is when one of the twins is trapped in the giant case of water, and Buster rushes to the rescue, to dump the water out with a TEACUP! Then he gets smart and gets the sledge hammer and floods the stage and rows away in the bass drum using the violin for an oar, that was hilarious!

That's a great bit. I like his impersonating an orangutan.

If my memory serves correctly, that was based in part on a real act that he either saw or was a part of while in vaudeville.

Funniest part? When he draws the X on his fiancée's back to distinguish the twins apart, then checks it halfway up the chapel stairs just to be sure! :-D
