Taken from Keaton


I've been watching Buster Keaton shorts, many of which I'd never seen, and was surprised to see that the instant pudding scene was taken from a similar scene in Keatons's "My Wife's Relations". Doesn't bother me though, just noticing.

Woody plainly admits he is influenced by other comics in the past—they are his heros. His coward persona is taken from Bob Hope. Watch the scene where he is in the robot factory and looks over his shoulder, he deliberately looks like Harold Lloyd.
