Stan Laurel (16/06/1890 - 23/02/1965) and Oliver Hardy (18/01/1892 - 07/08/1957) are the fictionalised, dimwitted versions of the comedy duo, who were in many films from the 1920s to the 1940s.
Overview[]
Throughout the films, they have each had many wives, yet the only one that seems to have successfully lasted is Stan's marriage to Betty in Sons of the Desert. All films seem to follow the same continuity, except for Block-Heads (1938), Our Relations (1936), most likely Twice Two (1933), and partially The Flying Deuces (1939).
Personality[]
Laurel and Hardy are a dynamic duo known for their playful and mischievous personalities. Whether they are bumbling through a scheme or getting into trouble, they always manage to bring laughs and chaos wherever they go. Oliver, the more serious and responsible one, often scolds Stan for their mishaps with his famous catchphrase, 'That's another fine mess you got us into.' Meanwhile, Stan, the imaginative and forgetful one, always has the most brilliant ideas but often forgets them when asked to repeat. Despite their differences, their friendship remains unbreakable, and they continue to entertain and amuse audiences with their hilarious antics.

Scooby-Doo[]
Scooby and the gang meet them in The New Scooby-Doo Movies (episode "The Ghost of Bigfoot") while going to a ski lodge for a vacation. While there, they learn it is being haunted by the ghost of Bigfoot, who is really one of the lodge guests Jonathan Crabtree, who is stealing cars. Laurel and Hardy help the young detectives solve the chase in the episode "The Ghost of Bigfoot".
Laurel and Hardy are driving to the ski resort but when they have car trouble, Mystery Inc. gives them a lift, the gang is more than glad to welcome the famous Laurel and Hardy duo. The ski lodge seems deserted upon investigation, but once inside, the gang and Laurel and Hardy meet the manager, Caley Burgess, who explains the Ghost of Bigfoot-supposedly a mountain man that froze in a snowstorm years ago-has been scaring guests away. And now the only guest left is Jonathan Crabtree, an elderly man in a wheelchair. The gang unpacks and gets ready for bed in their room, but Bigfoot appears and a cat and mouse game ensues. Bigfoot proceeds to finally escape and flee out the window, leaving no footprints, leaving the gang to possibly believe Bigfoot might be a ghost!
The next day, the gang decide to get some skiing done and Laurel, Hardy, and all of Mystery Inc. head up the mountain and have a blast skiing, in the process meeting a suspicious and spooky ski instructor called Hans Etherwise, who tries to teach Shag and Scoob how to ski. Back at the lodge, Mr. Crabtree has disappeared, Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, Shaggy Rogers, Scooby-Doo, Laurel, and Hardy split up to look for Mr. Crabtree, also finding Bigfoot who chases Shaggy, Scooby and Laurel before making a getaway. Scooby finds a dropped piece of paper with a list of letters and numbers scrawled on the paper; Fred notes they look like license plate numbers.
Stan and Ollie were voiced by Larry Harmon and Jim MacGeorge, respectively.
