The Plank

You'll splinter your sides laughing at this classic of all comedies

62%(35)IMDbComedy

A slapstick comedy about two workmen delivering planks to a building site. This is done with music and a sort of "wordless dialogue" which consists of a few mumbled sounds to convey the appropriate emotion.
