I already had this feeling that many old cartoons used many silent movie jokes (including our dear buster) but I didn't visualize all the references you actually made with this video which is great!

Still, the technology and special effects used in films was amazing, especially in 1921!

Bravo!!! This is truly excellent work, and important in understanding Buster's influence. You should contact Kevin Brownlow, who did the major documentary on Buster, ("A Hard Act to Follow", in the 1980s), as well as Kino Films and The Criterion Collection, both of which have put out high quality restorations of Buster's films (and "featurette" mini-documentaries for each), to see how these important comparisons can be added to the filmic history of Buster's work. The 1930s were the lowest point of Buster's life, both artistically and personally, and the fact of popular cartoons having stolen his ideas & images during that era should become part of the narrative. More film buffs, film students, fans & Busterophiles should see this comparison than a few thousand on YT! I also think you have the seed here of a larger documentary (or book?) on Buster's impact on comedy in animation. (His entire last independent film, "Steamboat Bill, Jr.," was ripped off quite openly in Walt Disney's first Mickey Mouse short, "Steamboat Willy.") Looking forward to more of this!

the stair scene is incredible! one continuous shot, its a masterpiece unto itself , that scene alone would have cemented anyones legacy.

And, of course, a cartoon character can't break his neck. Buster did that during filming of Sherlock Jr. Had no clue it even happened until over a decade later.

But he should have! Actually the mid-to-late 30s were the lowest time in his life, in every way (he lost his home, his toxic marriage & 2 boys, his MGM star contract, & his control over alcohol). But like one of his heroic characters, he came back to an surprisingly successful life again in the era of early, live TV, and had an improbably happy 3rd act, doing funny commercials and starring guest shots on major shows like Candid Camera & Twilight Zone, & movie supporting roles, & a good solid home with his 3rd wife, the lovely and devoted Eleanor.
