Laurel & Hardy was a British-American comedy film series (1927-1950) starring the British actor Stan Laurel (the thin one) and American actor Oliver Hardy (the obese one). They are one of the most iconic and popular comedy duos in the world. Laurel and Hardy have been referenced in The Simpsons numerous times.
Homer's famous line D'oh is a reference to actor James Finlayson in the Laurel & Hardy movies, who used to say the same line, but much slower and longer: "D'ooooooooh!". Since everything in animation has to go a lot quicker Homer said the line much quicker too.
