Nothing was funny until Benny Hill started chasing people and being chased. Whether by bad guys, gorillas, or old ladies Benny Hill simply wouldn't be caught. Or sometimes he was and that was funny. Mostly though, the chases themselves were what was funny. Not for the first time, trick photography, first used in "Man With a Movie Camera" was employed. In this case the practice was speeding up of the frame rate from 16 or 24 frames a second to double that.
