The wonderful YouTube series Every Frame a Painting is back once again with a new video “The Art of the Gag.”

The video dives into the legendary career of Buster Keaton, one of the greatest to ever live. Seriously…if you’ve never watched his films before, you should acquire some immediately. A day spent watching them with friends or loved ones could become one of your favorite days of all time.

You can watch the video taking a look at Keaton’s work in the video below.

Before Edgar Wright and Wes Anderson, before Chuck Jones and Jackie Chan, there was Buster Keaton, one of the founding fathers of visual comedy. And nearly 100 years after he first appeared onscreen, we’re still learning from him. Today, I’d like to talk about the artistry (and the thinking) behind his gags. Press the CC button to see the names of the films.
