- Quotes
Ollie Sr.: What's all this racket about?
Ollie Jr.: [in a plaintive whiny "poor me" tone of voice] He hit me!
Stan Jr.: I did not! He hit m-
[taking his hand out of the covers to try to point to Ollie Jr., then realizing with extreme chagrin that he still has the boxing glove on. He hastily slips his hand out of the glove and then half-heartedly points a bare finger at Ollie Jr., knowing that his complaint/accusation won't hold much water now that the fathers have seen the boxing glove and thus will suspect that Stan had been doing some hitting himself]
Stan Jr.: - He...
- Alternate versionsWhen released in a computer-colorized version, the following scene was deleted: after Ollie falls down the stairs after tripping on the roller skate, Stan helps him up, then trips on the same roller skate, which rolls across the room and crashes into the cat.
- ConnectionsReferenced in Their First Mistake (1932)
With a little bit of trick photography Hal Roach had both an adult version and a junior version of the boys. It's a father and sons night and they are watching the kids as the wives are apparently having a girl's night out.
No doubt physically, no doubt mentally that these are indeed their father's sons. Both the adults and the Brats get into the same monkey shine situations.
The kids with special oversize sets built by Hal Roach have some wonderful bits. They're offered a nice nickel to whoever gets ready for bed first. Little Ollie steals the nickel, but little Stan gets even so Ollie will have a bit of discomfort before he can spend that nickel.
My other favorite is them trying to catch an animated mouse and little Stan shooting little Ollie with an air rifle at his widest portion.
This one is the boys and Hal Roach at their best.
