There's a lot to be said for making people laugh. Did you know that that's all some people have? It isn't much, but it's better than nothing in this cockeyed caravan.

Here’s to Eric Blore on his birthday. ❤️ #botd
Have you seen Top Hat (1935)?
Yes
No
Haven’t even heard of this movie
Who is the scrungliest little guy?
Paul White & Marie Bryant [scrungly unit]
Eric Blore
Paul White & Marie Bryant [scrungly unit] (Bli Blip)—tell me these guys aren't charming and silly?? Paul is so sweet and goofy here and Marie Bryant—an accomplished dancer and choreographer in her own right who assisted Gene Kelly and trained Vera-Ellen—also getsin to the scrungly action!
Eric Blore (Shall We Dance, The Lady Eve)—fucking hilarious character actor and weird little guy par excellence, with a prolific career and exquisite comic timing, who specialized in playing butlers and valets (usually eccentric, dryly ironic, or subtly contemptuous ones). he provided memorable comic relief in five of fred and ginger's movies, often alongside the inimitable edward everett horton, and appeared in the preston sturges classics the lady eve and sullivan's travels. he also voiced mr. toad in disney's adaptation of the wind in the willows. it's hard to know what to say about this goofy lil guy besides he's so fucking funny...watch him in action!

This is round 2 of the contest. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. If you're confused on what a scrungle is, or any of the rules of the contest, click here.

no one does dialogue like the early 1930s
the length of this stupid ass joke... and eric blore sells every second of it
Here are 10 things you should know about Eric Blore, born 137 years ago today. He enjoyed success in the theatre, pictures and radio.
When I watched the Jeeves and Wooster series (1990–1993) with Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry, I often thought back to the movie It's Love I'm After (1937) with Leslie Howard and Eric Blore, their coming together is pleasantly surprising.
