   You may be thinking of "Twice Two" (1933), where Hardy plays Laurel's   
   wife, and Laurel plays Hardy's wife. They do a lot of split screen   
   effects in that film.   
      
   Joel has noted that comedies are hard to riff. When they MST'd "Catalina   
   Caper" (1967), they came up with lots of funny stuff about the creepy   
   girl romance, but they struggled to come up with anything for the failed   
   attempts at comedy relief - and that was with slapstick not done nearly   
   as well as what Laurel and Hardy did.

   Good point, undoubtedly there are many other actors who would like to   
   see a turkey they starred in get the riffed.

   Agreed wholeheartedly!
