This is MGM pulling comedy clips from their vault. It starts from the silent era up to 1948. A narrator describes the silent films. I recognize some of the clips. The big names are Buster Keaton and one non-Tramp Charlie Chaplin scene. It's nice to see some names that I don't know. After twenty minutes, it's on to the talkies. I still don't recognize a few of these comedic actors, but at least, they get to talk. Throughout the compilation show, the jokes aren't hitting as hard with the clips being all cut up. It can feel like the narrator is explaining the jokes. This may interesting introductory show for newbies, but that's about it.
