The Farmers' Fatal Folly

"The Farmer's Fatal Folly" is a very dated and offensive short featuring Moran and Mack, who were often referred to as 'the Two Black Crows". Why? Because Moran & Mack were a comedy team featuring white guys in blackface...and their act was filled with the expected stereotypes of the day. I watched it more out of curiosity than anything else. You might want to see it as well...possibly to show it to friends just to watch their heads nearly explode!

Moran and Mack are farmers in this short and they have all sorts of big money making ideas...such as growing hops to make beer (this was during Prohibition and there was big money to be had in bootleg booze) as well as raising rabbits. Ultimately, their plans fail because they are idiots...which shouldn't come as a bit surprise.

This short, unlike the others I've seen by the team, actually has a few funny lines and situations. But it's not hilarious nor worth seeing unless you are really curious. As I am the first reviewer for the short, apparently there are not many curious folks out there!
