Laurel and Oliver Hardy were a popular buddy-comedy duo who made films 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 Doctor placed himself into one of the pairs' films in order to get Amy and Rory's attention. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut)
