Laurel and Hardy

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were a popular buddy-comedy duo who made films together from 1926-1952. Their films involved silly storylines getting their characters in silly adventures. Rory Williams was a fan of their exploits, but Amy Pond was not.

The Eleventh Doctor placed himself into The Flying Deuces, one of the pairs' films, in order to get Amy and Rory's attention. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut)
