Fatty's New Role is still funny despite the now-relevant plot line, 30 July 2007
7/10
Author: tavm from Baton Rouge, La.

While the plot of Fatty supposedly having a bomb coming back to a bar after being rejected earlier because he wanted free lunch may not strike one as funny today in this time and age, I still thought the results were still humorous whenever bar owner Mack Swain thought anything, like a football or a dropped plant, was an explosive hitting at or near his place. Mr. Arbuckle here is a bit different from his usual character and costume in that he has 5 o'clock shadow and is dressed like a bum (or tramp for those British reading who use the B-word to mean butt). As usual, he's quite funny with the way he mixes drinks and takes one from a small glass and then one from a bigger one. But it's Swain who provides most of the hilarity with his reactions. So it's largely for him that I recommended this Mack Sennett/Keystone comedy short.
