Twice Two is a 1933 American pre-Code Laurel and Hardy short film.
It is the first wedding anniversary of Stan, who wed Oliver's sister Fannie, and Oliver, who wed Stan's sister "Sis". This matrimonial arrangement leads to the cohabitation of the two couples under one roof, with Stan and Oliver both working in the same office.
Amidst the domestic setting, the narrative unfolds with a series of incidents, including telephone gags and preparations for a surprise anniversary party organized by the wives to celebrate their first year of marriage. However, the celebratory mood takes a comical turn when a cake mishap results in Mrs. Laurel bearing an inadvertent resemblance to Queen Elizabeth I, depicted in a portrait on the dining room wall.
As Stan and Oliver arrive at the party, tensions and squabbles ensue between the two couples, punctuating the atmosphere of the celebration. The climax of the film occurs with the arrival of a delivery boy bearing yet another cake. This moment culminates in a chaotic scene where Mrs. Laurel is doused with the cake by a disgruntled Mrs. Hardy.
